Then, the splash got a little louder and a little closer.
A fish.
A little louder and a little closer.
A fish.
Little louder, little closer.
She pulled her feet up, just in case, but she was sure that it was just a fish.
Louder, Closer.
Too close.
A chilled gasp rattled her. Her wide eyes were fixated on something that just barely rose out of the water. That was most certainly not a fish!
It looked far too fleshy and orange to be a fish. Fish weren't in flesh tones, were they? She had certainly never seen or heard of any that were.
She scooted a little closer, the curious little fiend she was. She kneeled with her hands on her knees, a little shaky, and peered into the water.
Nothing happened at first and she felt her stomach drop in disappointment. What if the creature had left? Sure, she didn't think it was the fabled mermaid, but it was certainly something.
She leaned back with a sigh. She finally saw something of substance and she lost it. She blew a raspberry and pouted down at the water that was frustratingly still.
She thought that was the end of it. Later she would wish that it had been.

I won't survive. I'm sure of it. Strong wind ruffles through my clothes and hardly allows my eyes to remain open. I'm surprised that I'm still standing on the rock and haven't been tossed into the whirlwind. Huge waves crash down upon the rocks making deafening sounds. I open my eyes wide enough to see the next wave coming. As it comes towards the rock, it reaches the height of a three-storey building and seems to loom over me for some time, like a monster looking at its prey with hungry eyes, before finally crashing down towards me like a waterfall. While it comes down one single thought comes in my mind. This is how I die. Then the waters devour me. ___________________________________________ What's the worst crime you could ever commit?

The mermaid's secret tale 🧜🏼♀️₊˚✧𑁍.ೃ࿔*:･🫧 / Aqualuna / Comiverse universe
Rachel always knew she was different. By day, she was just another face in the crowded halls of Crestwood High-a quiet, bookish girl who kept her head down, aced her classes, and secretly crushed on Mike, the boy who made her heart race. But when the sun dipped below the horizon, everything changed. The moment moonlight touched her skin, Rachel transformed into a breathtaking mermaid with shimmering moonlight-purple scales, her legs vanishing into a powerful tail. She had spent her whole life hiding her secret. No one could know what she was-especially not Mike. If anyone discovered the truth, she could be captured, experimented on, or worse. But the ocean was calling her more than ever before. Strange things had begun happening in the waters near Crestwood. Whispers of a forgotten prophecy, a mermaid kingdom in danger, and a mysterious force rising from the depths haunted Rachel's dreams. Then, one night, Rachel witnesses something she wasn't supposed to see-a group of dangerous hunters searching for something... or someone. They spoke of an ancient relic lost beneath the waves, one that could grant ultimate power to whoever wielded it. And they were getting closer. Rachel must decide: continue living her double life in secrecy or embrace the ocean's call to protect her kind. But as she dives deeper into the mystery, she realizes she's not the only one keeping secrets. Because Mike? He's hiding something too... ~🧜♀️🫧⭐️🔱~
