"Hey Uncle Paul' I say as I walk into the shop.

"Hello my boy, you ready to help me catch some fish today" My uncle greets me. I nod, even though I'm not. He takes my hand and leads me out to the water.  

"Get in the boat" My Uncle orders me.

"I...can't swim" I whisper, staring worriedly at the murky ocean water.

"Oh come on my boy, I won't let you sink! I promise, now get in the boat" My Uncle tries again to get me into the boat. This time, I let him. "You wanna know a secret" My Uncle whispers. I nod. "We're not fishing for fish, we're hunting for merfolk." I nearly choke on my own saliva.

"Excuse me" I shout.

"Yep" My uncle states. In my mind I'm thinking,'Oh my God! He is absolutely NUTS!" But hey, maybe he isn't nuts. Maybe they do exist.... No! Harry, you are losing it!!!!!!" Anyways, my uncle continues out onto the water, and I swear I almost faint!

"There" He shouts, pointing out at nothing.

"What" I ask.

"That shiny thingamabob!"

I look to where he is pointing and see nothing. "It's gone" He mutters. 'Or it was never there in the first place' I want to say, but I say it in my head,so no one else can hear me. My phone starts to ring at the moment when my Uncle starts to talk to me.

"Hello" I ask.

"Haz, where are you and your Uncle? There is some guy at the door asking for "Paul's Findings" and I have no idea what he is talking about! You better get your sorry ass back home right now, or else I will take your One Direction poster and rip it to shreds" Liam's voice bellows form the tiny metal block called my cell phone.

"Okay, okay! Yeesh, calm your tits! I'll be there in a few" I say before hanging up.

"Who was it" My uncle asks.

"It was Liam. He says there's some guy at the door for you" I reply boredly.

Uncle Paul shoots up and starts rowing towards our little island. "Oh God! That "Guy" is an expert merfolk hunter! He hasn't caught anything yet, but he says that with more time, we could have the whole civilization" he explains. 'Note to self, test Uncle Paul for drugs when we return home' I think to myself. I mean God, he sounds like a total lunatic, and I don't need that in my life. People hate me enough already without a crazy Uncle to top it all off! When we reach the shore, Uncle Paul zooms out of the boat,leaving me there. Alone. By myself. IN THE MIDDLE. OF. THE WATER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Hello" I call. No reply. "God, I hate this island. The only time you need assistance is the only time that there is no one around to offer it to you. I suddenly see a figure coming out of my house, followed by Uncle Paul. I see him face plam himself for forgetting me and he starts to rush towards me. "About time" I mutter.

"Sorry my boy, I just really needed to meet him. He gave me these pictures." Uncle Paul holds out a file full of pictures.

As I look them over, I realize that they are nothing but pictures of the "Expert" In his living room, dressed up as a merman. "These are fake, you idiot" I scream. Uncle Paul looks confused, before a look of realization crosses his face.

"That lying @#!*% !!!!!!!!!!!!!!" After helping me off the boat, Uncle Paul runs after the guy, demanding his money back. But, before he leaves, he says, "Fine. I'll just find the merfolk myself." I seriously need to get him to a mental hospital, and quick!

"There's no such thing" I mutter, but apparently he hears me because he grabs my neck and pulls me up to his face.

"What....did you say" He asks through clenched teeth.

"That there's no such thing as merfolk" I say casually.

"I'm warnin ya my boy, they are real! You better watch yer' back, ya hear? They are evil creatures, with big claws and red eyes" He warns. I roll my eyes.

"Yeah....whatevs" I mumble. Uncle Paul drops me and heads back towards the house, leaving me alone with my thoughts of one day escaping it all... to rid me of existence, and to end my misery. In other words, I start to plan my suicide. 

A/N: SO.. how is it so far?! :( I wrote this chapter during this thing called PAWS, and we were technically supposed to be doing homework, so I know that it's pretty crappy. But hey! It's not my fault that my teacher was watching me like a hawk eyeing its prey! I mean seriously, what did I do??? So anyways.....
