Chapter 6

Calisa's POV

I swim all the way back to the shore, popping my head out and sitting on the sand, my tale partially outside and partially in the water.

I wiggle my fingers in the air, the water following the movements, flowing in the air gracefully as I smile sadly.

"Calisa?" Hunter questions behind me.

I don't bother turning around, feeling too tired and bummed to do so. I mean yeah, my relationship with my mother was never great and I don't think I've ever loved her but what hurts is the fact that the people of Atlantis, my people, will have to keep suffering.

She's an evil queen and treats the citizens like crap.

"What happened to your tail?" He inquires sounding really close.

"My mother happened." I reply bitterly.

"Why did she do this?" He asks now crouching next to me.

I sight before turning my head to look at him "I stood up to her and refused to do her work."

His features are full of concern "I am so sorry."

I shake my head "It's not your fault plus, I think black looks much cooler."

He chuckles "You look beautiful in any color. So what are you going to do about the throne?"

"I honestly never cared about the throne. I wasn't supposed to be the heir anyways." I mumble the last part of my sentence.

"Yes I indeed know about that. When you stormed out of my office the first time, you said no one could make you happy like he did, you were talking about Henry, your brother." He states.

I look away from him. I felt sad, really sad, but the tears didn't make a guest appearance. They did for a few months but after they just stopped coming.

"Yes. He was supposed to be the first King of Atlantis. The people of Atlantis decided to make an exception for him because he was so loved. My parents were told they couldn't have anymore children, but well, I came. When I was old enough to make a choice I decided to let my brother be King of Atlantis since he was only a mermaid. I was also a wizard so I could make it in the human world, he couldn't." I explain.

Hunter takes his shoes off and throws them on the field before sitting on the shore.

"You are gonna ruin your pants." I point out.

"I own so many, it's not a problem." He replies smiling softly.

I look back at the horizon, feeling empty. Again.

"He died in the human world. He wasn't even 21 yet. He was only 19." I continue.

"I am so sorry." He says.

I scoff quietly "I know you are. Everyone always is. That's why I don't want to be with you Hunter, not because I don't like you, cause trust me, you are hot as fuck but I can't risk something like this happening again."

"Give me a chance." He pleads grabbing my hand.

Sparks fly up my hand and I'm taken aback, surprised that what people said about sparks and all that stuff was in fact true.

"I don't know." I whisper.

He leans in, our foreheads touching, my heart beat spiking up as well as my breathing.

"Please." He murmurs.

And at that moment I realized he made me feel something I've only felt once in my life. I felt vulnerable, almost naked.
