Sinking

The Allyzi

helllllllllllllllloooooooooooOooooooooooooooooooooooooo everyone. Sorry for the late update. I usually update once a week and for not updating I'm sorry. Especially for keeping you in suspense for that long. Anyway here it is and I hope you enjoy it. Ohhh and by the way, I'm still quite new to this and I'm wondering if anyone can tell me how to dedicate chapters to people. Thanks.

"You're the what?"

"A-ll-y-z-i" Rysk spells it out for me, emphasising each letter.

I blink at him, trying to make sense of him. But there is no sense, it's completely insane. He swims closer and rests his hands on the bed.

"Are you alright? Is there anything I can get for you?" He is kind and handsome. He's amazing.

"Uhhhhhh................."

He pats me, snapping me back to attention. My cheeks heat up. His hand lingers.

"Yes, thank you, I'm fine," I force the words out of my mouth. He withdraws his hand.

"Can I ask you some questions though?" I say, "Please?"

"Yes," he says "but I want some questions answered too."

"Okay, how far down are we?"

"I believe we are about 500... metres down."

"Wow, um..................................." This next one was going to be hard.

"Just say it" Rysk says.

"Are you forever stuck as a mer-sorry-allyzi or can you..." I trailed off. He could guess the rest.

I looked into his eyes. The ocean had changed colour. A lighter blue. Amusement sparkled in his eyes. It looked so handsome on him. The ocean.... laughing. That's something I never thought I would see...

Rysk clears his throat.

I look down, embarrassed.

"Well, we have a special potion that allows us to... become a human when we need it. But to gain access to it, you must pledge your reason and evidence to the royals."

"Can I"

"My turn," he cut me off!"Why did you come down here? And why did you go in the water in first place?" He asks gazing at me.

"I... well my father was always very protective about this place and never lets anyone else near it. I finally decided I wanted to know what was down here so i did. I snuck out of bed and picked the locks. As for the water..."

"Go on" Rysk prodded

"... I guess I just felt it pull me. It felt like it was taking me home. Guiding me to a safe haven. That sounds crazy." I muttered the last sentence under my breath.

"Trust me you are far from crazy." He says.

"Huh?"

"Never mind" he gets up, nodding his head, confirming something non-verbally.

"What?" I ask.

"Nothing," he replies, looking at me.

"Oh, come on!"

"What?"

"What's wrong?!"

"Nothing,"

"Tell me!!"

"Later, maybe."

I groan, really loud, by the way. That was such a boyish thing to do.

"Can i still ask you questions?"
