The Fisherman's Mermaid

Chapter Six

You woke up in a tank full of water on the deck of the boat. You were in the corner and the lid to the tank barely left any room for you to stick you head out of the water. The tank had breathing holes at the top and you could hear everything perfectly clear like you were out in the open.

You swim to the corner of the tank and curled into a ball and cried. You couldn't see your dad when you woke up and he was badly hurt, there was only a puddle of blood where you saw him last. You cried even harder when you saw the boy leaning against the died of the boat looking at you staring intensely.

You didn't even know how long you've been asleep for, and since you remember waking up and few times and then being pulled back unconscious, you knew it was at least a couple of days.

You missed your birthday and your finally 18. At least this birthday would be memorable and you tried to smile at the joke but you only sobbed harder.

When your crying finally died down you could hear footsteps getting closer towards the tank. You ignored them, not wanting to look at him and after a couple minutes of hearing nothing you then heard the latch to the top of the tank open. You snapped your head up to meet with the boys eyes peering trough the water at you as he leaned in from the side of the cage.

"What's your name?" He asked bluntly, but couldn't help to see the curiosity in his eyes.

"Y/n l/n" you say cautiously, not wanting to get punished like you Dad did for not taking. Before he could answer tho you asked "where's my father?"

"None of your concern, my little y/n" and when he says your name he smiles and his eyes light up.

"Y/n... what a beautiful name"

He puts his hand down into the water and reaches out to stroke your cheek but you snap your head away before he gets close and he growls in frustration and moves away from the tank.

"Please tell me where my father is." You call to him, but when he doesn't turn around you scream "tell me where my father is !!" But he still continues to ignore you and he disappears below deck.

You continue to scream and demand to know where your father is and you thrash around in the tank. Water sloshes out onto the deck and you beat your hands against the class. You continue to scream, your throat tearing up in pain.

You see the boy come back up onto the deck but this time carrying something. He stalks towards you tank and you continue to scream at him, demanding your father.

He leans over the tank once again but grabs your arm before you can move away and he stabs a needle hard into your arm.

"I wouldn't have to do this y/n if you'd be a good little mermaid and not panic and hurt yourself" he says whilst rubbing your arms trying to be comforting.

You have no energy to resist and you try to ask his name so you know who to curse when you wake up..

"Jack, my name is jack my sweet" he whispers to you

"F-fuck y-y-you jack"

And you fall into another deep sleep before you can see his reaction.
