Erika Lawrence is a young girl with a knack for swimming underwater without coming up for air for a consecutive amount of time; for her it's normal, to others, not so much. Though after taking one last swim in her high schools swimming pool while waiting for her best friend, she notice's something odd about her right eye, in the far bottom right corner of the iris she sees something off; there with the mix of lavender is a pigment of red that shouldn't be there. At first she shrugs it off, even though she's still concerned about it, but then on the day after her eighteenth birthday something happens. Strange visions appear in her mind throughout the nights of when she is asleep, alongside with the need for water, blood, the consumption of flesh and a supressed memory of her mother. All the while the red in her eye begins to grow...
Worried for her own sanity, she goes to her grandparents for guidance, asking them for some kind of answer to be given, if she truly had become something frightful, and what they tell her shocks her, the birthplace of her mother.
Wanting to know more about her mother's supposedly secret past Erika and her friend Alison Jones; head there in search for the truth, only to find that some things are best left to be forgotten...

Nightly Mermaids WATTPADPRIZE14 (2015)
Horror #40 Mystery #47 I wrote this in 2015... Mermaids have always been defined to be beautiful, gorgeous from head to fin, and intelligent. They are ones who are rumoured to have the ability to better your life with an encounter; and they are also rumoured to grow feet whenever they are to fall in love. Mermaids have always been the most loved characters of the children - not in Berry Bay, of course, but Adira and Danny are an exception. In Berry Bay - a town in where people are normally opposed to bravery - mermaids substitute the creepers at night, the noises only you hear and the mysterious vases that will shatter in thousands of shards. Mermaids are the ones that are hunted by the cops and the animal hunters, but never the fishermen. They are the ones who will dine on your hot flesh together with their family. But at daytime, with their magical pairs of feet, they appear to be what reality thinks they are. Beautiful, gorgeous from head to toe and intelligent.Complete
