I  pass the castle and decide to stop and see if Mark got back safely. I'm thankful that he saved my life, that's all. I sneak behind the castle and peek into the window that we left from only hours ago. He's sitting on a chair held down my heavy stones. He's staring down at a small box, rusted a tiny ballerina dances inside. Soft music plays and he hums along. 

I get closer wrapping my large tail on the outside wall hopping to blend in, minus the bright blue shirt I think I'm doing pretty good. He looks up at the mirror across from him and sees me. He turns around and looks at me. 

"Jack! How did you escape! Are you okay?" He says putting the box down.

I take off behind the building as fast as possible. Not giving it a second thought. I hear the chair fall even from as far away I am. I must have some super hearing now or something. 

"Jack! Come back! Guards, stop him!" He shouts swimming after me.

I doge them as they try to grab me. I speed through a school of fish causing them to freak out and Mark hits some. He doesn't even care as he flairs his arms around hurting them in the process.  

I am flying through the water at what seems like an impossible speed. In to time at all I reach the shore, Mark close behind me. I burst through the surface, forgetting that I'm a merman and not worrying if someone sees me. I climb onto the rocks and the sun is rising. It's beautiful.

Mark rests his hands under his chin facing me. He rests his arms on the rocks nest to my large tail. 

"Someone might see you." 

"I know, but if they tell anyone there crazy and pictures can be photoshopped."

"What about live feed? On Instagram or YouTube."

"For a fish man your pretty smart." 

"We know about technology it's just that we can't use them or books."

"Then what do you do for fun?"

"That's a good question. I don't think we have fun. Not me anyways."

There a flash of light and my body gets all warm. I can't feel or see anything, the light is blinding. It goes away and I have legs again. I pull my phone out of my pocket expecting it to be broken from the hours I was under water. It's not. It's working perfectly. I have twenty-seven missed calls from my dad other wise everything is fine. 

I take a picture of Mark, sunset and all. It's perfect. He looks happy. He has a slight smile and his brown eyes compliment it so well. I show it to him. 

"Dang! I look.."

I cut him off.

"Beautiful" I say slightly whispering. 

"I was gonna say hot, but that works too." 

"I have to go...See you again?" 

"Wouldn't miss it for the world."

I smile and stand up. I head up the trail and stop looking over the cliff I was just sitting under. I wave at Mark. He smiles waves back and flips backward. His blue tail is all I see before he is full underwater. 

I turn around and head home. I can't wait to get my ass beat.
