"Come on, sorella! We have to see the ship!" Feli cheered as she manuvered through the ocean's currents.
"They're pirates, and dangerous ones at that." Lovina warned.
"Hurry up! We might miss them!" Felicia sped up; her tail flicking quickly through the water.
"I don't want to see them." Lovina grumbled.
"Aren't humans attractive though?" Their other companion added on.
"Are they?" Feli asked in excitement.
"Both of the genders that they have are." Franny purred.
"Shh..." Lovi shushed her as she knew that if any other mermaids heard that that Francine would be in trouble as it was forbidden to be anything other than heterosexual as a mermaid.
"I thought that only men were." Feli pouted.
"They are." Lovina grumbled to hopefully stop the conversation.
"I've slept with both." The seventeen year old proudly proclaimed.
"How do you sleep with a woman?" Felicia asked curiously.
"You know how they are." Lovina growled, referring to their island leader, and the many land ones for the mermaids that chose to live on land.
"A good mermaid never reveals her seduction techniques." Franny smirked.
"Aw! Why not?" Felicia asked.
"You're a good mermaid?" Lovina scoffed.
"I once had an affair with a human named Alice. She was amazing." Francine cooed at the thought of her old love.
"You're only supposed to sleep with them once." Lovina was getting annoyed; it really was a surprise that their blond haired cousin had never been caught.
"Was she pretty? What was it like? Did she know about us?" Feli fired off several questions.
"Yes, she was gorgeous. We would talk, and she knew of us. I loved her." Francine cooed.
"Mermaids don't fall in love." Lovina grumbled.
"Don't listen to those lies. Love is possible, but we tend to ignore it in favor of lust." Francine sighed after her mini rant.
"It is?" Feli asked excitedly; she was only eleven, so she had never been allowed to have sex or meet some humans.
"Oui." Franny was always going off on how her father had to have been French as well as the fact that her mother had spent five nearly six years living in a mermaid guarded home in France where she fell pregnant with Francine, her third land caused mermaid, and then decided to move back to the island.
"I want to fall in love." Feli cooed, and she could sort of see herself and some human boy in love, spending time on small abandoned islands or on the beach.
"No, you don't." Lovina growled at the same time that Francine spoke.
"Love is painful when you are a mermaid." Francine spoke sadly; love had to be hidden then, and some humans might try to take advantage of the fact that you are a mermaid or even try to reveal your existence to the world.
Feli pouted, and just like that her dream was destroyed.
Franny passed the other two with her blue tail slapping the water just as the hearts on her chest scales caught the light; two pink hearts lay with one partially inside the other which indicated that she was a gifted mermaid.
She had kept her talent a secret as it would negatively affect the others around her as well as herself if her talent was announced; it had taken her years just to figure what her talent was exactly.
Feli rushed to catch up in sudden excitement as she saw the huge pirate ship that they were approaching.
Lovina flicked her red tail through the water with enough force to catch up to her twin sister as she had always tried to watch out for her.
Lovi's eyes widened slightly as she neared the massive ship; it looked expensive yet dangerous.
She found herself phasing, and climbing up for a better look at the humans; she may not act like it, but she had always wanted to catch a glimpse of a human especially a man as the island only contained females as it was impossible to have a male mermaid.
Her eyes flickered over to what had to have been the captain; he was dressed simply yet it was obvious that he was in charge,
His skin was tan, and his hair was chocolate colored both of which contrasted nicely with his bright, green eyes.
The captain seemed to have an eternal smile as if the pirate life was easy and fun.
Feli scampered up hesitantly with Francine who climbed up with ease and familiarity as if she always scaled pirate ships.
"That man right there with the big hat, and long, brown hair is their captain Antonio Fernandez Carriedo." Franny murmured as if they would hear her if she spoke louder.
"Wow! Men don't have boobs, do they?" Feli asked rather loudly which drew attention to them.
Franny dropped with ease back in to the water, and switched forms while she did so.
Felicia squealed when Lovi pushed her down, but Lovina froze when green eyes locked on to her own amber colored ones.
Her heart rate picked up, and suddenly Franny's tales of love made sense.
"Hola. Who are you?" Lovina could hear a threat with in his cheerful sounding voice which was enough to make her drop back in to the ocean.
