Malevolent Mermaid

How real did that feel?

"It has been so long since you have not responded to my letters, it feels bad, but never did i once lose hope? No, i did not. I always waited for you to respond.
You did not know, but it was me who was writing you all of these letters all along, naive you trusted someone that you did not even see, well i guess this is why i love you, because you are so honest with yourself. I just wonder why you weren't honest with me?
Maybe you did not feel the same i felt about you?
For me, you were everything, but sometimes it takes a lot more than just love to keep people connected to each other.
I know i did horrible things to you, i know i hurt you so much, but there is a reason behind all of them, i do not know the day but i hope one day you will get see all of that and get to know all of that.
Now i see, you are over me you say, but your eyes disagree with you, sadly ...
I see it, and idiot me still fell slave over your beauty, and still writes to the letters you will never respond. Why am i even doing this? I guess hope really does die last... -D"
Decimis rolls up his piece of paper and puts it in a bottle.
He lets the bottle float away from him, close to the rock, where he always let Ianthe have words of love so she did not feel alone, till she decided to not reply to the letters anymore ....
"Why did you stop writing to me? Why did you disappear? Why did you come here and appear if you were going to leave like every other else? You stopped responding to me but i always kept on writing, maybe one day you will actually respond to me? Maybe you would actually come back? Because you promised me you would stay! Now what happened? I am willing to forgive you, i am willing to take you back, just come back, and i am here! It is so sad, cause once it used to be all about me and you, and now is all about the memories we used to share.
I know who you are D, i sense it, even if you will not tell me, i know that nobody else would make me feel this way without seeing except of him, and i feel like i am talking to him. So you must be him then?"
Ianthe put the piece of paper in the bottle as always and swims her way to the rock promising her bottle to the waves, the waves he controls.
When she arrives there, ....
"Decimis?"
She sees him, also holding a bottle in his hand, the kind D used to send her once upon time, before he stopped sending anymore.
"It has been you this entire time?" A shaking Ianthe gets closer to him.
"Yes, i did not have the courage to look at you anymore, or talk to you, but i had to somewhat feel your presence."
And it makes sense why he stopped sending letters, why would he anyways? Till he got bored he played with me and then suddenly boom he is gone.
This was a very Decimis move, why was she surprised?
"I miss you Ianthe" Decimis proceeds to get closer to her, after all this time, to finally feel her.
"I missed you to Decimis"
She was hurt by him but she could not pass on the chance for finally getting close to him.
Decimis places his hands on his chest.
"What are you doing Decimis?"
He looks down at his chest, and looks back up at her in pain, leaving a big sigh out.
"Are you ok? We are together after all this time why are you doing these things?
Decimis? Look at me? Decimis!"
He looks at her, removing his hands from his chest, blood all over his hands, while it bleeds from his chest.
"Wh what is going on? Decimis what is going on?"
A big group of waves circulate around Decimis, pulling him far away from Ianthe, as Decimis is knocked out and fully bleeding, covering his blue tail with red blood.
Hopeless Ianthe does not know what to do, she attempts to scream but nothing comes out of her mouth, she attempts to scream again but nothing again.
Another group of waves collide around her taking all of her balance away, she attempts to escape but she cannot, when suddenly...
She lets out a huge scream, finding herself laying on top of the chest with her written letters.
"Was it a dream again? Did i dream of the same thing again?"
She cannot collect her thoughts into one, what just happened?
Pearl swims all the way to Ianthe after hearing her horrifying scream, she thought maybe ... he did something?
When she goes there, she sees Ianthe completely desperate, shaking, talking nonsense things to herself.
"Ianthe! What happened?"
She is not able to understand what she is saying, but she manages to hear the words;
"Let him go. Let him go. Let him go. Here have it, let him go."
"Have what? Let go of who? What are you talking about?"
"Please. Let go of him!"
Pearl starts shaking Ianthe up, till she can finally and consciously  explain what happened.
"Alright now calm down, and tell me what happened."
She inhales deeply, seeing that nothing is around her except Pearl, and that she is at her house.
She must've fallen asleep while reading her letters she had written to him.
She exhales out the words in relief after realizing that she had just dreamed like it had always happened before;
"Thankfully this was just a dream!"
