Leaving Home
As I swam over to my parents I saw my mother tearing up, I hugged them both.
"Are you sure you want to go? You can still change your mind." Mother suggested, I shook my head.
"Mom I want to see what life is like in the human world, I've always dreamed of this you know that." I told her, and turned to my father who was smiling proudly at me. He took my hand in his and closed my hand around something hard and metal, I opened my hand and smiled up at him. In my hand was a silver necklace with a light blue seashell on it,
"So you will never forget your true home, the sea." He told me.
"Oh Daddy!" I cried out as hugged him tightly crying, He stroked my blue hair, then kissed my forehead before pulling away.
"Goodbye our little princess." He yelled as I swam away. I grabbed the soaking wet human clothes we collected and swam towards the surface, I dragged myself onto the shore. It hurt to breath the dry air, I bit the inside of my cheek as my tail started to tranform into to human legs. I winced in pain and stood up when the tranformation was complete, I pulled on the clothes. I started to get dizzy and collasped to the ground, I tried to stand back up but the failed and everything went black.
I woke up in something soft and with some sort of fabric over my body, I sat up and a human came in. It was a female I believe, she had yellow hair and was wearing shorts the same as me. She was also wearing her hair in a pony tail, she smiled when she saw me.
"About time you woke up." She exclaimed and brought over some kind of food, I frowned at it in confusion. "Oh, how rude of me. My name is Julia, and you are?" She asked curious, I looked up at her.
I can't tell her what I usually say, it would be kinda strange for me to say "Hi I'm Chelsea Mermaidianna, the princess of the sea." That would earn me the title of crazy woman.
"My name is Chelsea, its a pleasure to meet you." I told her and she smiled before leaving the room, I looked down at the plate of food. I picked up what I believe to be a fork, I stabbed the strange brown oval piece of food. I smelt it, what is this?!
"Uh, Julia can you come here?" I called, she walked in after a few minutes. I showed her the food, "What is this?" I asked. She looked at me as if she thought I was kidding,
"Its sausage, its made from some types of animal." She explained, I shoved away the food after she told me it was made from animals. I looked at her disgusted,
"You eat animals?!" I asked mortified. She gasped,
"Oh my goddess! Your a vegitarian? I'm so sorry I had no Idea." She apologized quickly. I shivered in disgust at the thought of eating another living being, "Would you like me to get you something else to eat?" She asked still guilty. I shook my head,
"I'm not hungry." I told her. She sighed in relief, must be happy I'm not mad at her. I stood up uneasily,
"The bathroom is across the hall, you can use my hair brush and take a shower if you'd like. If you need a change of clothes check the dresser next to the bed" She told me and left the room, I went over to the dresser and found a white tank top. I pulled out a pair of dark jeans, and I left the room.
I came face to face with a man with silver hair and a cowboy hat on his head, he frowned at me and walked away. I walked into the bathroom and locked the door behind me, I took a quick shower and slipped on the clothes. I looked in the mirror and gasped, my sea blue hair was now chocolate brown. My light blue eyes were the same thank goodness, I brushed my hair and sighed remembering the sea. I walked out and walked down the hall I walked into the kitchen, Julia looked at my outfit and nodded in approval. She grabbed my arm and pulled me into a different room,
"Chelsea this is my mom, Mirabelle." She told me gesturing to a woman with short blonde hair. "That is my cousin Vaughn" She grumbled gesturing to the silver haired man I saw earlier, I blushed and looked away. "My mom found you on the shore passed out, what happened." Julia asked. Crud! What do I say?! I can't tell her the truth, she'll think I'm a crazy person! Or worse, believe me!
"I...I'd rather not talk about it." I confessed, Julia looked at me in confusion.
"Why not?" She complained gripping my arm tighter, I winced in pain and pulled my arm out of her grip. I rubbed my arm, it was very red.
"I really don't wanna talk about it, and I don't think I ever will." I told her frustrated, she sighed in defeat.
Julia gasped when she saw what she did to my arm,
"Chelsea, I'm so sorry!" She apologized quickly. Mirabelle looked at her then gasped when she saw my arm,
"Vaughn get the first aid kit." She ordered. She rushed over to me and pulled me into the kitchen with my good arm, she put my arm under the faucet and turned it on. I gasped as a sharp pain went through my arm, Vaughn came in with the first aid kit and set it on the table. I sat on a chair by the table and Mirabelle tended to my arm, "Julia you should really be more careful, she just got here and you already hurt her arm." Mirabelle scolded. She didn't mean it.
"Mirabelle really I'm fine, I get hurt all the time." I confessed, she finished up my arm and it felt a little better. I looked at my bandaged arm and sighed, haven't even bin here for a day yet and already got myself injured.
"So what brings you to the Sunshine Islands?" Mirabelle asked as she started to cook something,
"I wanted to start a new life, you know do something different." I told her and smiled at the fact that I was telling the truth.
"Really? Well we could use a farmer." She said and glanced at me from over her shoulder. A farmer, huh? Well we had farmers in Mermaidia, why not be a farmer in the human world.
"I could be your farmer." I suggested and yawned, Mirabelle turned around with a huge grin on her face.
"You'd really be our farmer?" She asked hopeful. I shrugged,
"I don't see why not." I told her. She came over and pulled me out of the house and to the house next door, she opened the door and pushed me inside. A old man looked up from some paper and looked at me in surprise,
"Taro this young girl has offered to be our farmer." Mirabelle exclaimed. Taro smiled and came over to us, he shook my hand.
"Hello my name is Taro." He introduced himself, he let go of my hand and backed up a step.
"I'm Chelsea, its a pleasure to meet you." I told him smiling,
"So you want to be our farmer?" He asked unsure if I was serious. I nodded,
"Fantastic, I'll show you where you will be living." He exclaimed and pulled me out the door.
He lead me down a road and I saw a huge field and a house with a red roof, I gasped in awe.
"This is your farm." He told me, I looked around me and looked at him in shock.
"This is all mine?" I gasped and he nodded and chuckled when he saw me jump up and down in excitement, I ran to the house and waited for Taro to catch up. He was laughing at my excitement,
"This is your house, you will need to get up at 6:00 a.m. every day." He informed me in a serious tone. I shrugged at this fact,
"I already get up at that time every day." I told him. He smiled and turned to leave,
"I already know all there is to know about farming." I yelled after him. Taro stopped in his tracks and looked back at me in surprise,
"You do?" He asked. I nodded, he snapped out of his shock and smiled at me. "Then I suppose you can get started tomorrow." He exclaimed and threw three bags at me, I looked at the lable on one of them. Turnip seeds, huh? I waved at him before heading inside, I walked over to the bed and fell into a deep sleep.
