Mermaid Tale (Bts ff)

Chapter 28

My hair turned into a shade of blue and the feeling of swimming with a fish tail was odd yet familiar. It was homely. I turned to Yoongi seeing him still in his human form above the surface of the water making me pause my travels. I peeked my head from below of the sea level.

"Are you coming?" I question him, his eyes meeting mine. "Yeah, yeah. But, what if we don't return to the surface. What if we get trapped down there?" He proves a point as he just analyzes the land a few meters away. I couldn't reply or say anything to comfort because I had no idea if we were going to get locked away when we were seen. Guards were always trying to find us, though it had been years since Yoongi disappeared. I remember seeing the castle guards doing there daily search for my brother. I always thought it was pointless since he wasn't showing up anytime soon, but my parents had faith. 

It was harder for Yoongi, he had basically turned into a human now. Him being a Merman, just seemed strange. Not right. I had only been here for a month or maybe more. It was still normal for me.

He said the spell as a bright spark emerged around him. It send a shock through the waves, making me duck back under the water again. When I used the spell, a light was shone but hardly that bright. I looked back at his direction making sure he was okay seeing him with his light blue hair and the tail almost identical to mine. It almost made me feel emotional, the sight that I hadn't seen in years. It was a sight I had seen when I was only little. He looked at his reflection in the water, staring blankly at himself. 

I grabbed his hand, snapping him out of his trace before pulling him under the water. "We should go now, so we can get back to land before the day" He nods as I start swimming towards the rough direction of the kingdom. There was a sort of feeling of freedom, I didn't have somewhere I was expected to be. When I was a mermaid last, I had to be in the kingdom most the time, it was my role. But now since I'm considered missing, I could go anywhere and not have a time limit that was always ticking on.

I reach a large seaweed forest and hesitate to go in. Was this the way to the kingdom? "Do you know where your going?" My brother asks from beside me, a little bit of doubt in his voice. I sigh and shake my head. I didn't need Yoongi to say he didn't know where he was going because I already knew. We just had to keep swimming to try and find it. 

I swam into the seaweed, keeping a close eye on Yoongi in case lost in this blind maze. The seaweed was slimy and thick, making it hard to barge through it, you had to find a path. And when I finally got through the weed, I was met with something that made me stop in my tracks. The Kingdom. It was there, the towers that spiraled further up, the houses that held merfolk. And the main part of the castle which my mother and father must be waiting in at the moment. 

I heard Yoongi's breath hitch and pick up. And I couldn't comfort him because the sight surrounding our home was unbearable. It almost made it impossible to make our way into the castle without getting hurt. And it was my biggest fear as my eyes connected with the scar that slit right across my tail faintly. 

Plastic Litter. It was everywhere.

XD. Sorry, I haven't posted anything on any of my stories in like 6 months. I just didn't feel like writing, anyway. Here is a chapter to keep you interested.
