When I opened my eyes under this pitch-black water, I already knew the whole earth was destroyed- what I didn't know was that I discovered a completely different world under the ocean, miles below the earth.
My stomach flipped as I realized that I was actually breathing underwater! I could see very clearly under the murky water and my icy blue eyes didn't sting like they usually do in the pool. What I saw was very disturbing but quite.. satisfying. All around me there were burning logs and trees falling into the ocean.
Just then, a shovel plummeted through the water and it was headed right to me! I surprisingly screamed loud and clear as if anyone could hear me. I squeezed my eyes closed and felt strong, warm arms wrap around me. The arms pulled me away from my doom and my eyes fluttered open to see a strikingly handsome boy. He was about my age, 15, and we were so close I could only see his cunning green eyes. He pushed back from me, surprised at who he had rescued. He had coal-black hair that waved underwater and then I gasped.
"Your merfolk!" I explained as I stared at his luscious green tail.
"Calm down. I don't know how you're here but I'm not supposed to be with you." The mermaid purred in a low but attractive voice.
"You don't even know my name!" I scoff, still terrified.
"Your Venus Blue, and the humans erased your memory of us so you could live a normal life on earth but sense earth is now destroyed, your back home. Follow me." The boy half smiled as he swam away.
I was speechless as the attractive boy, Scorpio, welcomed me to the underwater world of mermaids.
