Author's Note: Hi guys. So right now, I'm not in a good mood. My laptop crapped out so my father and I had to take it to go get fixed. Just today, I nearly punched three people during drama class, no one told me that basketball was starting a half hour earlier, and just today, I was told we apparently have a game tomorrow. And, at practice today, I was tripped, I went down hard on my knees and now, I can barely stand. I'm no longer happy. I was a happy soul today for the morning then people started to piss me off. However, one boy in my history class told me to whip his phone at the wall. I think it was to prove something about his case being an amazing case but I don't care. Bonus, was it was the guy who Kale was based off of in my Friendship Only Goes So Far story. And for an added bonus, Sherekhanrox and myself have started to co-write a novel. I will tell you guys if anything become of what we wrote, but for now, just know that my extended breaks are still coming at you guys and they will be until further notice. Okay, I've had my moment to chug my chocolate milk, I'm ready to write, I guess.

Chapter 1- Those Damn Fishermen
Clove POV
A lot of people think being a mermaid is easy. Being a mermaid sucks. It's Sirens who get off easy. They just have to swim around and lure in ships. If you're a mermaid, you're basically fucked. I felt a tail brush up against me. I turned and saw my best friends, Katniss and Finch Desiree. They were both Sirens.
"Hi guys," I greeted flatly.
"What's wrong?" Finch Desiree asked. "You seem down."
"Hell ya I'm down. You guys get to go to the surface and explore. I'm stuck down here to avoid getting captured. It's bullshit," I muttered.
"Maybe it's for the best," Katniss offered. "I mean, I would be so upset if you gut captured."
"Maybe I just wanna say fuck this shit and go to the surface and explore," I argued.
"Clove," Finch Desiree started. "You know that that's a terrible idea. Take Glimmer for example. She was a mermaid who though she could convince fishermen she was a siren and now no one knows if she's alive."
"And the main difference between you and Glimmer is that people would miss you if you disappeared," Katniss added.
I opened my mouth to say something but the words I wanted to say would destroy my friendships. I quickly turned around and swam away. I knew both the girls could catch me if they wanted to, but I highly doubted they would follow me. I swam for probably twenty minutes before I stopped. This was my chance. The coast would never be this clear.
I swam up. I swam to the surface. I broke through and was amazed. It was beautiful. I could hear music. It was probably playing from some near by boat. I should probably have dived but any insane mermaid would stay where she was. I'm completely insane. I started to sing quietly. Both Katniss and Finch Desiree often sung this song so I knew it.
Nah nah honey, I'm good
I could have another but I probably should not
I've got somebody at home
[Verse 1:]
It's been a long night here, and a long night there
And these long long legs and damn they're everywhere
(hold up now)
You look good, I will not lie
But if you ask where I'm staying tonight
I gotta be like oh baby, no baby, you got me all wrong baby
My baby's already got all of my love
[Chorus:]
So nah nah Honey, I'm good
I could have another but I probably should not
I've got somebody at home, and if I stay I might not leave alone
No, honey, I'm good
I could have another but I probably should not
I've got to bid you adieu
To another I will stay true
(oo oo I will stay true)
(who who I will stay true)
[Verse 2:]
Now better men, than me have failed
Drinking from that unholy grail
(Now check it out)
I've got her, and she got me
And you've got that ass, but I kindly gotta be like
Oh baby, no baby, you got me all wrong baby
My baby's already got all of my love
[Chorus:]
So nah nah Honey, I'm good
I could have another but I probably should not
I've got somebody at home, and if I stay I might not leave alone
No, honey, I'm good
I could have another but I probably should not
I've got to bid you adieu
To another I will stay true
(oo oo I will stay true)
(who who I will stay true)
[Bridge:]
Oh, I'm sure ya, sure ya will make somebody's night
But oh, I assure ya assure ya, it sure as hells not mine
Oh No, honey, I'm good
I could have another but I probably should not
I've got somebody at home
And if I stay I might now leave alone
No honey I'm good
I could have another but I probably should not
I've got to bid you adieu
To another I will stay true
[Chorus:]
No, no, honey, I'm good
I could have another but I probably should not
I've got somebody at home
And if I stay I might now leave alone
No honey I'm good
I could have another but I probably should not
I've got to bid you adieu
To another I will stay true
True ooo, ooo
(I will stay true) [x4]
Sing it now Oh whoa oh
"Hey! Are you okay?" a guy's voice yelled.
I turned. There were three guys in a boat staring at me. Two had blonde hair and blue eyes while one had brown hair and green eyes.
"N-no," I stuttered. "I'm fine."
"We're probably 50 miles from the shoreline. We could give you a ride in," the brunette offered.
"There's no boat within miles," one of the blondes observed.
I start to panic. They saw me and they might capture me. I quickly dive and start to swim down. However, I felt two arms wrap around me and start pulling me upwards. We hit the surface and I see it was one of the blondes.
"Let me go!' I yelled in his face.
I noticed an arrogant smirk on his face. He looked to the boat.
"Guys, we just caught a mermaid," He laughed.
The brunette quickly turned on the boat and drove to me and the guy. The blonde boy holding me grabbed the boat as he drove by then the brunette turned off the engine. The blonde passed me off to the other blonde then climbed into the boat. The brunette threw him a towel before submerging another in water. The blondes pulled me from the water then the brunette wrapped the towel around me. One of the blondes sat next to me. The brunette quickly sat down and started the engine again. They were driving towards shore.
Away from my home.
"What's your name?" the other blonde asked.
I glared at him. He smirked.
"Well maybe you'll introduce yourself after we do. I'm Peeta, the driver's Marvel, and you're cuddling with Cato," he explained.
I stayed silent. I turned to look over the water.
"Don't be so hostile," Cato threatened.
"Well what do you expect?" I snapped. "You're taking me away from my home? And how do I know what you're going to do to me? How do I know you aren't going to kill me?"
"Relax princess," "Marvel" stated. "We don't plan on hurting you."
"So what are you going to do to me?" I asked.
"Depends on how you treat us. If you're cooperative, we'll keep you safe. You try to escape or mess with us, we sell you. And so far, you're not on our good side princess," Peeta smirked.
"Cloverfield," I sighed. "But my friends call me Clove."
"Better," Marvel smiled. "At least you aren't acting like that blonde slut we had to put up with. We got rid of her first chance we got."
"Blonde curly hair? Pink and ivory theme colors?" I asked.
"How the hell did you know?" Cato demanded.
"Fucking Glimmer. I knew her and hated her," I growled.
All the guys smiled simultaneously.
"I think we're going to like this one," Cato said with a smile.
