Kidnap of a Mermaid

Chapter 1- Unpromising Beginnings

Ever since Amberella Bogtrotter was little, she knew she wasn't like other girls.

It all started when she was six years old and her step-brother, Simon, tried to kidnap her. Her mum had just married Simon's dad the year before, and he had clearly been having some issues adjusting to his new family. So, with this, as well as the fact that he was 10 years old, the police let the fact that he took a six year old child half-way to Mexico stuffed in a Gruffalo Trunki slide, and they let Simon off with a warning. No one ever did work out how he had managed to pass as his father when he picked Amberella up from that birthday party. Or where he got all that chloroform.

Aside from that little hiccup, Amberella lived a relatively normal life. Although she never felt like she truly fit in with other girls her age. At twelve years old, while those basic bitches were fussing over makeup and which member of one direction they were going to marry, Amberella liked to reenact famous ritual sacrifices throughout history in the woods. At fourteen, her friends started getting their first boyfriends and wearing revealing clothes. But Amberella was not a thot, and so spent every day after school in the local Library working on her blog where she reviewed public toilets. Then last summer, her best friend in the whole world, Franzelina Aphrodisiac, totally ditched her and pretended she didn't even exist, for literally no reason! Amberella suspected it might have had something to do with the fact that Franzelina had caught her carving the word 'Whore' into her locker during pe, but no one could ever truly be sure, some girls just kind of snap in high school, you know?

After that, all the girls in school started acting really weird around her, so it was almost a relief when at the end of the year her mum told her that the whole family was moving out of London. Amberella was so hyped for a new city filled with loads of cool new people, and most of all, loads of new public toilets to review! However, that bitch had decided to totally ruin Amberella's life and revealed that they were not moving to a new city, and were in fact, moving to a small seaside nowhere town called 'Westlyn'.

"What the fuck kind of name is that? What kind of person even comes up with that?!" Amberella screeched

"Well, actually, I'm quite excited to go." Simon had just barged into her room and was now leaning against the doorframe like a deformed stringbean.

"Fuck off, Simon, go back to being a high school has-been" she retorted

"Now now, Amberella,  no need to get antsy just because you've had to go through school living in my shadow"

"That is so not true."

"You should look on the bright side: at least at this new school people might stop calling you 'boggers'"

"Oh my god shut the fuck up you're so dead-"

"ENOUGH!" Amberella's mum cut in, holding her hands in the air with her eyes closed 
"I've had it up to here with both of you! Simon, go back to playing Castle Evening or whatever it is you do all day-"

"Oh my gooood, Suzanne, for the last time it's called Fortnite!" Simon said as he skulked back into his room.

"As for you, Amberella, you should look at this as an opportunity, not a setback. You're always saying you don't feel like you fit in with the girls at school, maybe a change of scene will allow you to find yourself and-"

"Oh my god, mum, don't be so stupid, I'll never fit in anywhere because all girls everywhere want to do is snog their boyfriends and talk about makeup and dress like whores!!1!!! God, you don't understand anything!"

"Well I'm sorry young lady, but this is final: we're moving in September whether you like it or not."

"No! This is so unfair! I'm never going to go!"
