paradise

Chapter 3 (Edited)

Paradise was an island my sisters built for Madeline and her mate. After Andriana joined the pirate ship, father became very strict about our connection to the world above. We would sneak out of course. That day we went to the local market for some fruits and candies when Madeline had quite literally fell over the man. She was still getting used to her new legs and didn't move in time. That is how she found her mate. Love at first sight. She needed a safer place so our father wouldn't find out.  Andriana, Maryssa, and I helped build and camouflage the island with magic. If one would try to look the more lost they would become. No one knew about the island still to this day.

I walked on the sand to the only house on the island surrounded by flowers. It was a huge house with four rooms and four bathrooms. The kitchen was a dream for my sister and the view was more than words could describe. Maryssa was the one who called it paradise.

The house was still on the inside indicating no one had been here for a while. I smiled and slowly made my way to my room in the house.  The stairs were oddly warm and comforting when I placed my hand upon the rail. Making my way up I smiled to myself at the memories we had. Opening the door to my room I close my eyes and remember the days my sisters and I would come to the island . Her husband would play music and tell us stories of the human world. We would laugh and stay up all night till we caught a glimpse of the sun peeking up from the oceans edge.

I opened my eyes and looked around the room. Everything was as I left it. My bed was huge and could fit about three people with lots of pillows. Scattered across were clothes from our final days here. Across the way was my dresser that I decorated with shells I had found around the island and candles for my table. What I really loved about my room was the fact that I had paintings upon painting lining my walls. Both big and small littered across each telling a detailed story.

Walking to my dresser I opened it and pulled on a flower dress that was white with gold like patterns in random curved lines across that fell to my knees. According to the humans this wasn't anything special and something a "whore" would wear.To me it was very beautiful. Not to mention breathable.

It was around nightfall when I made it back to the house. I had been out picking fruits from trees and playing freely in the sand. I looked across the sand from the window in my room. A light drizzle had found its way on to the island so I lit a candle and watched the rain fall.

Tomorrow I needed to get in contact with my sister, Andriana. She would know what to do. After all she was the smartest of us siblings. I know I could always use my magic to give a sign, but my father would be alerted to the sign as well. I needed something more Discreet. something only she would recognize.

I laid in my bed looking around the room until my eyes stopped. My shells! I jumped up and ran to my dresser. I shifted my clothes around and there it was. Andriana had given this to me the day she left. The shell was brown on the outside but a beautiful light purple on the inside that would shimmer in the sun light.She told me that I was even more beautiful than the shell and to never let anyone who wasn't worthy see my beautiful inside.

I ran to the Sea and willed my tail to grow. It was night but I knew the dolphins would be up playing. I made some clicking sounds and in no time two dolphins were at my side. I smiled and told them to take it to my sister's ship. The Ligera. I watched them swim off into the sea until they had disappeared into the ocean. she would come to me.

It's been a week since I sent the dolphins off to deliver my message and I've created quite a routine on the island. I wake up and watch the sun rise . I would see colors of  red and orange fly across the sky in beautiful rays. Then I would take a long walk on the shore till I was hungry and go search for fruits. The rest of the day I spent swimming or watching where the sky meets the sea in hopes of seeing my sister's ship.
