Chapter One
Okay I've always loved the staories about Bella being a mermaid. So here is one. Disclaimer: I do not own any of these characters or any mermaid thongs that are fimliar.
I swam into a tidal pool. My mother said that the sea was a dangerous place right now and that I needed to keep a low profile. She is queen of the ocean and I am Princess Isabella of the ocean. Mother said before she found her mate Phil that she mated with a human. I don't know how but when she found her mate she had to tell Charlie what she was and me. He didn't mind he just went into shock. So my mother took me and we left with Phil to the ocean. No one knew of my mother's affair with Charlie accept Phil.
I climbed out of the pool on the sand. Mom helped me dry my tail off. It was a deep blue, just like the color sapphire. I looked at my mother's necklace. Ever woman of the mer-people had one. Each girl had a different gem. My gem stone was like my tail. My mother made me from sapphire. So my necklace is the same just a different stone. Also none of the same mer-women had the same stone. Every single one was different. The gem was different depending on what gem the mother made her child with. Humans called it their birthstone. They used gems when they wanted girls and used rocks when they wanted a boy. Being half-human I could turn into a human when I was dry. No, not all water could turn me only salt water or I had to be completely immerged in water. Not all water changes mermaids when it touches our skin. That's just stupid. Not all mer-people could go on land and turn human. Only the rare ones could or the ones like me who are somehow half-human half-mermaid.
"Okay I packed you that shell. All you have to do is whisper my name into it and you'll find me. It's like a shellphone." I smiled.
I dried her cheek and kissed it. "Oh and tell your father I said hi!"
I rolled my eyes. She is such a child. I meet Charlie at the side road near the tidal pool. He gave me a big hug.
"So Bella I think you're going to like it in Forks. There are a lot of rivers and things like that. So you can go swimming whenever you want."
"Cool." Was all I said. We rode in silence to the house. The house was a two-story house with woods for a backyard. That wasn't as bad as I thought. The forest was a strange and amazing place…just like the ocean.
"So we are going to have to share a bathroom." That's just great. Note sarcasm. "Your room is right there. I had the sales lady paint it purple. You like purple, don't you?"
"Purples—purples cool."
I set my bags down on the wooden floor. This human world was a wonder to me. At my mermaid school we had to learn about the human world. It fascinated me. I waited for Charlie to knock on my door or try to talk to me but he didn't. At least he didn't hover. I wanted to be alone. I sighed and went downstairs to make diner.
"What do you want for dinner?"
"I just went fishing. Could you cook some fish?"
I gaged a little bit. I knew he fished but he expected me to cook it too? I frowned and held my breath. I hated the smell of burning fish. Since I am a mermaid I could hold my breath under and out of water as long as I wanted. People are like she's half human she'll drown. Yeah I'm not mermaid if that happened. We just held our breath. It comes naturally to all of us. We just breathed like humans to blend in.
When I finished making him the fish I made me the eggs in there. My mom made me learn how to cook before I moved here. She said that he couldn't cook to save his life.
I didn't watch him eat the fish. I took a shower then went to bed.
"Goodnight Bella. I'll drive you to school tomorrow too."
"Goodnight Dad."
I drifted to sleep.
I was swimming in the Forks water. I could tell the difference because the water was deathly cold. I swam at bit more before getting caught in a net. I screamed and thrashed around trying to get out. The net was pulling up. No! I pulled at the net but nothing happened. The humans on the boat yanked my on the boat. One of the men pulled out a knife.
"NO!" I bolted up.
"Bella! Bella are you okay?" Charlie busted into the room.
"I'm fine dad. I just had a nightmare."
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah. What time is it?"
"I was just about to come get you."
I nodded and got out of bed. I changed into my I heart the sea t-shirt, blue jeans, and black high-top converses. I jumped down the stairs egger for human school.
Charlie and I didn't talk the whole way to school. I bit my lip and got out of the car. All the humans stared at me. I my dropped down. This was going to be harder than I thought.
