Zee of the Sea
Prologue:
Italy, Rome
Zee of the Sea lay at the bottom of the Italian ocean. The Sun shone down and reflected off the black-tipped red scales of her tail. She wore a red dress with a pearl belt around her waist and a seahorse necklace made from a string of leather around her neck. Zee felt the vibrations of a boat and she woke-up.
"S'tahw taht?" she thought.
Zee swam upwards and lifted her light blue eyes above the water. She looked around but saw nothing until she turned around and saw a boat behind her.
"We've got one!" someone exclaimed.
A net appeared around her and lifted her out of the water. Zee began flapping her tail and tried to escape it. There was a broad shouldered man with scars across his face standing by a short and narrow-built man with horn-styled hair.
"Ooh! She's pretty! Can I have her?" the short one asked, rubbing his hands together.
"No!" the scarred man hit the short one's head "She's merchandise,"
Zee knew who they were. Hunters of the supernatural! She began trying to rip the net but her aquatic strength couldn't break her free. Zee fell back as they began to move her over the deck.
"Tes em eerf!" she shouted.
The top of the net ripped and she fell into the ocean. Zee unwrapped herself from the net and darted away as fast as a barracude. Unknown to her, the net was laced with microscopic tracking device that stuck to her skin like salt.
On the hunters' boat, they checked their equipment and saw a red blip heading for America and they headed in her direction.
"rehtoM! Sretnuh era retfa em!" Zee thought to her mother.
"Od ton yrrow, ym dilhc," came her mother's voice "Og ot mahtoG ytiC dna edih ereht litnu s'ti efas,"
Zee picked up her pace and altered the currents to get her there faster.
