Crazy in love Ch. 1

BellaPOV

BOOM!

Another bright flash of lightening went through the sky. The storm was coming in fast and once it hit I was too close to the shore. So now whenever I try to get deeper in the ocean to look for the safety of a secluded cave away from prying human eyes I just get pulled closer to the beach shore. I know what you're wondering, why do you need to stay away from humans? Aren't you human? No I am not human, I am a mermaid. And I can't let a human see me because they would immediately know I am not human by my blood red tail.

Just then a huge wave came and I got dragged onto the shore. My tail was covered by seaweed, sand, and driftwood so no one would be able to see my tail. Most older and more experienced mermaids could just turn their tail into legs, but I am younger so I haven't yet mastered all of my talents.

"Hey! Girl! Are you stupid? Why would you try to swim during a storm?" A man's deep voice shouted. I gasped at his sudden appearance and looked up into his eyes not sure what to reply to that. He had deep brown almost black eyes. I could also see a spark of hatred in them. But 2 seconds after looking into each other's eyes the hatred was gone by love, curiosity, and amazement. But as soon as those emotions were there they were gone again. And in their place hatred came back along with bewilderment and shame. He turned around shaking and started walking back where he came from.

"Hey, wait!" I called out desperately. I need help getting the driftwood of me, then before he knows what is happening I can dive back into the water.

"What?" He replied angrily.

"Can you help me get out from under this driftwood? I seem to be stuck"

"Well whose fault is that? Oh right it is the idiot who decided to swim during a dangerous storm's fault." He sneered.

"Please?" I asked brokenly. His face had a flash of pain go across it but he covered it with annoyance.

"Help your own damn self." He replied "I will just stand here and enjoy the show." With that he sat on a piece of driftwood.

"Jerk!" I yelled angrily as I struggled to get out, with one final tug my tail was freed from its previous confines. He gasped when he saw my tail.

"Wha-?" But before he could finish I had already dove back into the water and swam away from him. I didn't even glance back at him. I thought I would be glad to get away from him but for some reason all I felt was pain and a tugging in my chest.
