Prologue:

Aqua:

I smiled slightly as I swam through the water. It was so relaxing- to have my white hair twirl around my head, to see all the fish and the life untouched by humans. This was my favorite spot too- the coral I spotted a fish caught in a plastic bag and scowled, mostly untouched. I quickly swam over and freed the poor fish. I hated that humans were so careless about the environment but for my Auntie's sake, I at least tolerate them. That doesn't mean I like them.

I heard someone calling my name and I swam up to the surface-, which took awhile since I was very far down. I was pretty sure I was far enough down that maybe even the scuba divers haven't gone there yet. Either way, I swam up and up until my head was surrounded by air. I looked to see my Auntie waiting on the shore.
"Aqua, sweetie! Come here please!"

I sighed and swam over to the shoreline, keeping my tail in the water. I hated my tail being on the sand sometimes- it was a pain to clean. Then again, I could turn human if I wanted. To do that though I would have to get out of the water and dry off. Auntie smiled at me- she was always a bit too cheery for my tastes. Especially considering she was always living with humans- not that I could complain. I lived with the woman after all. She was my aunt and guardian.

The differences were great between us though. Auntie was social with humans, she loved humans, and she thought they were interesting. I, on the other hand, wasn't a big fan. Humans polluted. They lied. They betrayed. No wonder my ancestors used our gift of song to bring them to their death.

We traveled a lot- so I didn't have to talk to many people and I never bothered making friends, I didn't need them. Auntie, however, would happily talk the ear of a stranger- a human stranger. Currently, we were in Australia, living in a small house by the edge near the ocean. I loved it. I stayed in the ocean most of the time, but I would go up to the house on occasion. Auntie was a wildlife biologist- hence why we traveled a lot and had a lot of animals since she took care of some (another reason I rarely went to the house- the only animal I liked was fish).

Auntie giggled,

"Sweetheart, you gotta lighten up! Come on up to the house and pack your things!"

I stared,
"Pack?"
"We're moving!"
"Again," I whined, I liked it here. I liked the Coral Reef.

Remembering that I was mature, seventeen-year-old siren-slash-mermaid, I sucked it up,
"Where to?"
"America! A nice little spot in New Jershey called Sweet Amoris!"
"Does it have any oceans?"
"I do think there's a small beach."
Okay, so maybe moving will be tolerable if there's at least a beach.

"But you wouldn't be able to go swimming as a mermaid there since it's a public beach…you're welcome to go swimming at night though!"

I sucked in a breath, okay maybe not as tolerable as I thought.

"And I even signed you up for the high school!"
I scowled, okay, defiantly not even tolerable. I looked at my aunt's hopeful face and sighed, for her…

"Fine."
