Jim POV
I sat there peeling potatoes,one of the perks being kitchen mom begged me to take this job; since my dad ran out on us when I was six and money has been tight.I work at the castle of King Eric and Queen Ariel, the king and queen of Athena. I got hired because I will do any work...O.k I owe my mom big time, but it's not my fault I love to fly so much. Anyways I got in trouble with the cops and my mom said to get a job that will help us or work 24/7 at the inn she runs. Plus we need the there I was sitting peeling potatoes.I looked out the window of the storage room. Blue sky's and perfect weather for flying. I sighed before seeing feet run past the window. forgetting my work I ran outside to see who it was.
Melody POV
I do not care what my mother says I will swim forever and a day if I could. I ran and ran to the ocean wanting to feel the water on my skin and taste the salt in my mouth. I then jumped in swimming farther out.
"Only if legends were real."I muttered,wish to me a mermaid. It was a silly dream really, but a dream that I wished so hard on.I then heard a noise. Turning quickly as I could I saw a boy. He looked a year older that me and was shocked to see me."What are you doing here?"I asked rudely since I was not the one spying on someone. "Did my mother send you?"He shook him head.
"No I saw you ran by a window and uh... Wanted to see who it was."He stuttered rubbing his neck.
"Well here I am...Wait will you tell anyone?"I asked not wanting my mom to find smerked.
"If you tell me your name."He asked devilishly. I rolled my eyes.
"Princess Melody Catherine Athena, yours?" I asked getting onto a rock.
"James Dan Hawkins,but everyone calls me Jim."He said to me with a smile.
Me:
