"Well, what do we have 'ere?" A hoarse voice stated above me, making my eyes glaze upward in the direction of the culprit, only to freeze at the icy, crystallized irises of the owner. There, above me, was the man I saved, looking insanely at me with crazed eyes and a mocking tone. His hair was stuck on his forehead and the smudged eyeliner created a trace of dark lining on his face, making him look hauntingly. The man gazed at my form in amazement and wonder before they captured mine again, sending an icy cold sensation coursing through my vein, making me shiver. He was frightening and breathtaking at the same time. "A mermaid, aye?" he questioned as his gaze trailed down the length of my body. Grabbing my arms with one hand, he caressed my face gently, his thumb grazing my parted lips before they went below my hair twirling a single piece. I struggled from underneath him when he let the hair graze my breast underneath my blackened hair. Grinning at me madly, my eyes narrowed distastefully as his hand touched my crimson scales, stroking the tail almost lovingly. "Is this how you repay your saviour, pirate?"

A poem about what makes me who I am and important aspects of my life.

"Not even a thousand words could fix me." I said. "How about just three? I love you." Scarlet I didn't have a childhood. I never experienced the pride of winning a basketball game or the nervousness you get from a first date. Instead, I experienced beatings every night. I experienced my innocence being taken to me before the age of 10. And most importantly, I experienced what it was like to be dead inside. Xavier I noticed her every day at school. She thought no one noticed the bruises on her wrists and the way she winced when someone bumped into her. Every time I tried to make eye contact, let alone talk to her, she ran away. And every time I would just watch her. But then I moved to Italy with my family when I was 15 and taught what I was born to do. Take over my family business if you know what I mean. But then I saw her again. 10 years later when I visited America after becoming the head of the Italian mafia. But this time I'm not letting her run away. She will be mine.

Bella lives in a society that uses beautiful beings in an awful way. In order to fend off war from other countries, beautiful people are sold off. Bella is one of the most beautiful 17, almost 18, year old girl in her city. At least that's what other people tell her. Every time she looks into the mirror she finds every imperfection she can just to remind herself that she isn't perfect. If there is one thing that she fears most, it's the screening that happens on everyone's 18th birthday to see if they're pretty enough to be traded. WARNING: This story is going to be a complete cliché romance between a possessive alpha male and a strong-willed woman. Tread carefully.
