Ocean Eyes

Deaton

I made my way to the veterinarians office. Finally I made it to the office. When I opened the door a little bell dinged. There was a older couple sitting with their dog in the waiting room.
Oh greeeaaat. This is gonna be awkward since I don't have a pet with me.
The man looked at me. "Where's yer pet?" He asked. Damn.
"I'm picking him up from surgery." I lied. He nodded. Please stop asking questions!
"What happened?" The other man asked. Ugggghhhhhh.
"He's getting neutered, he couldn't keep his business to himself." I shrugged.
Both men paled a little bit asked no further questions. Phew.
The couple was called back, by a teenage boy. Scott? I didn't know he works here. 10 minutes later the couple came back out.
"It was just a couple of shots yer fine. I know it sucks but it had to be done. We can't have ya gettin rabies er somethin!" The man spoke to his dog. The couple then left. Scott came back out and looked at me.
"What are you doing here?"
"I need to speak to Deaton." Why is this boy so nosey? Scott disappeared and came back with who I assumed was Deaton.
"Deaton?" I asked.
"How can I help you?" His voice was soft.
"I need to speak to you. Alone. It's important." I pleaded.
"Come on back." We walked to the exam room.
"Scott. Stay in the waiting room." Scott left.
"It's been awhile since I've seen one of you." He immediately started. "What are you doing here?"
"She told me to find you, please, she said you were the only one I could trust." I started to cry. "Please, I don't know anything about what I am. I have researched all the lore about what I am but I don't know if any of it is true."
"Alright. I'll help you."
"Thank you!"
He proceeded to tell me about what I am.
I'll turn into the 'abomination form' whenever I'm soaked with water. (A lot of water is needed to trigger the form). I might have powers of the merfolk. What powers he has no idea. Then he gave me a list of books that have accurate information on the merfolk and abominations.
"Come to me if you have anything to ask, or if you get hurt. We can't have anyone else know what you are, it's safer for you that way." He told me.
"Thank you Deaton." I reply.
I headed off to the bookstore.
The walk was short as the bookstore wasn't that far. It didn't take me long to find the books and pay for them.
I started the walk back to my apartment. Halfway there it started to pour. I broke into a sprint, I was almost home, when to familiar pain started. I made it to my door. And flung myself inside, slamming the door closed with my foot. My pants ripped and my shoes split as my legs molded together. I guess I'll have to wear skirts until the end of my days, total bullshit. I decided that I'll just have to be careful and I could wear whatever I wanted. I'll just stay home from school when it's raining. No problem. I laid there in front of the door waiting for me to change back.
It's been five minutes still no legs.
Ten minutes.
"OH MY GOD I HAVE SHIT TO DO HURRY UP!" I yelled as I gestured to my tail. It started to tingle. Steam had risen from where I had gestured and the scales in that spot turned to skin. I continued moving my hand up and down my tail until my legs appeared again. Then I got up and made my way to my room. I put on my pajamas, and started to make dinner. Then I ate and cleaned up the mess I had made.
I finally retired to my room, and put my new books on my desk. Then began to dream about the slaughtered merfolk.
