Author Note:
FanFic! My first story on here and im not the best writer nor did I ever even have the thought cross my mind of being a writer, but, sometimes I have ideas I just want to share with others. (and sometimes im not happy with the books out there because they just don't suit the theme of book I like to read at my age ;) ) Feel free to read with an Australian accent as my inspiration is H2O:Just Add Water but I take a twist on things to make it my own! Reviews are appreciated and lots of dialogue will occur once I get to the storylines. Heres the intros!
Hey there! The name is Cari! Or is it? You know what? Let me tell you a little about myself before I lose you. Im an 18-year-old girl with pale skin and long red hair! Safe to say I don't quite fit in here on the Gold Coast of Australia. Wait, let me skip to the good part of my story here. Im a mermaid. Yep, you heard me correctly. I am a mermaid, tail and all!
It happened on my sixteenth birthday when I was taking my morning bath. I stepped in and about ten short seconds later, there was this gorgeous bronze colored tail shimmering away where my legs should have been. I'm still trying to figure out how it happened, since, the night before I had washed the dishes and i'm pretty sure I didn't go sprouting a tail! Since then I have been very steer clear of water and very skeptical as to who I am and where I came from. I know, I know you're asking "how does this girl not know where she came from?" Well, to be honest, I'm convinced i'm adopted! Red hair, fair skin for me and then my family has the Australian tan and beautiful brown locks of hair? Doesn't really add up right? Sure maybe the red hair gene skipped a generation or two, but i'm pretty sure mermaid tails aren't really in genes.
Well, as I try to uncover the mysteries of my life, I want you all to know i'm not alone in doing so. I have two friends actually, just the same as me! Regular girls who cant touch water unless they want a tail to start flopping around too. They've told me that they became mermaids when they were 15. They say they were swimming when they got caught up in a fishing net and almost drowned. Neither of them is clear of what happened but they remember waking upon the shore with the full moon lingering over them and these weird tattoo like scars on their wrists in the shape of a crescent moon ending in a tail. Let me introduce you to them!
