Ella West was just four years old When she drowned in the ocean and was saved by a merman who provided her with protection and a home. The only way that he could save her was to turn her into a mermaid and since it's illegal to transform a human into a mermaid or a merman he had to keep her hidden for the transformation. Now she's eighteen and guards the territory. There's just one problem, she kills every sailor that she sees...if he's underwater. But one day she sees a sailor and instead of wanting to kill him, she wanted to save him. So she does that only to find out that he knew here while she was human. Does that mean there's hope for her to become a human again and walk the earth? Or is it a message that she should change him into a merman?

They're smaller, like a human borrower, 5 inches tall The merman's duty is to complete prophesies at his own will (not forced like in the webtoon), but the only disadvantage he has is the fear of merchildren As he swims to do a prophesy, something stops him and gets caught in the chaos of the ocean near the surface, for he heard rumors that the surface is a dangerous place for any merman or mermaid, but to the Beacon, it was a blessingComplete

He brushed my golden hair from my face, his long, slender fingers sparking electricity in my skin, making my knees wobble together. "Will you ever, forgive me?" he whispered huskily, his eyes intently staring into mine. His face was only mere inches from me. I just needed to reach out a little further to kiss him... "Yeah. Over my dead body." I snapped, before throwing my arms out forcefully, shoving my hands into his chest, pushing him from me. -*-*-*- He, is Carter Williams. I, am Lacey Adams. We were once, inseparable. The 'Golden Couple'. The unbreakable best friends, that everybody envied. Nothing could get between us.
