The Secret Life of Natasha Romanoff
Prologue
I looked around the classroom. I couldn't find time to escape, but I had too. My teacher wasn't looking, and I got my chance. I jumped up and grabbed the beam hanging from the wall. I slung my body over the exposed rafters, and I opened the vent on the ceiling. I climbed through it and shut it behind me, leaving the classroom behind.
I made my way outside, and fell onto the ground. I brushed my red hair out of my face and looked over the ocean. I sighed. 'You just can't stop doing this. Huh, Natasha? You just have to go out every day, don't you?' I looked down at the water at my feet. My lips curled into a smile. I stepped into the water. It was cool and smooth.
It flowed over my body, and I saw the water cover my vision, then I fell to the ground. I looked down at my feet. My legs had been replaced with a red and gold tail. My name is Natasha Romanoff, and this is my secret life. I am a mermaid.
