The man who had grabbed me was in a black shark swimsuit and had a tattoo of a shark also. This is Tyran. I know it. When I look behind him my mother is in a pink swimsuit. And what is so horrible about this is that my mother hates pink!
"What do you want, Shark boy!" I yell. A small group of people had started watching us. I'm just glad that I'm being noticed.
"I need to speak to you. In private." We walk over to a sandy rock and take a seat as I become shocked that Tyran has legs!
"Umm.... why do you have legs? I thought you were a merman."
"Why do you have a face? We all have our reasons." I can tell he is annoyed. And I would have ran away if I knew that my mother would be safe but I know from Brady's warnings that he is an evil man.
"Mom, are you ok?"
"Mallory. This is your father so he has a weakness. It's you. Tyran doesn't want to hurt his own daughter, trust me."
"What are you guys talking about? I have no weakness." Tyran said angrily.
"Right. I almost forgot." My mother replied. She then rolled her eyes at me and smiled. I'm so shocked that she is smiling. After all of this nonsense, she is happy. When Tyran turns around to clear off a space for him to sit, I start to wonder what were going to talk about. I mean, he is my father in all, but I hardly know him. In fact, I'm pretty sure that he wants me and my mom dead.
"So, Taryn"
"Umm no it's Tyran" He interrupted me.
"Ok, Tyran. Why do you need to see me and make it quick because I don't like you and talking to you makes me wanna puke." Haha! I spoke my mind! First time in like forever!!!!
"Listen. As a very important person in and out of the water, I do not need your hideous mother in my arms. I need you, Mallory."
"Wait.. what? No! I won't go with you! And my mother is beautiful and you know it!"I was so angry that my tan skin turned red. When I looked at my hair, the tips were blue. Hmmmm..... I don't remember dying them that color?
"Mallory? Your hair?" My mother asked. I couldn't believe it! The tips of my blonde hair was turning bluer and bluer every second.
"Oh, forget about her hair! Grab her!" Tyran said as 3 strong men came and grabbed my arms.
"Hey hey! Lemme go!" I screamed.
"That's my daughter! Let go or else!" My mother added. Tyran let go of my mothers arm and threw her into the ocean off of the rock. The 3 men carried me onto a yellow and blue ship named 'The Floater" and they strapped me into a chair below deck.
"You are not going to get away with this you know." I told the men. He looked a me then said,
"We already did Missy."
