"Alfred, slow down!"
Alfred laughed at his brother's pleas "No way dude, you swim faster!" he called. Mathew pouted, Alfred was the fastest merman out there but he definatly wasn't the most thoughtful.
Mathew and Alfred were twin mermen, they look nearly identacle from their blonde hair to their sky blue tails (though, Mathew's was a tiny bit darker) other than their different eye color and a long curely hair that poked out of Mathew's hair along with a small cowlick belonging to Alfred.
Another obnoxious laugh rippled through the water as Alfred did another twirl. Mathew sighed "Alrigh, alright do whatever you want I'm going back home, I'm exhausted from trying to keep up with you" he stated with a soft yawn.
Alfred nodded " 'Kay! Oh cool a boat! Be right back dude, I'm gonna go see what the humans are doing!" Alfred said with stars in his eyes.
Mathew creased his eyebrows "Okay but be careful, I'm serious. Don't let any human see you. Not even one!" Alfred made a 'psh' noise and rolled his eyes "I spy on humans all the time, as if I'd get caught now!"
Mathew shook his head, his brother was hopeless. With a quick 'see you later' Mathew turned left to a nearby underwater cave where the rest of their 'family' lived.
After his brother dissapeared, Alfred swam off to investigate the boat. As he got closer he could see two boats. One was very large and looked very good quality... the other was a small beaten up wooden dingy.
Alfred slowly headed to the surface. As he got closer he heard more and more yelling. His head broke the surface of the water just enough to see but not enough to be very visable.
A large man on the bigger boat laughed, "Are you trying to talk back to the marine force! You're just some foolish slave who for some reason managed to escape! Now you're gona die out here all alone when you could have just stayed with your master safe and sound. Idiot!"
Alfred blinked 'slave?' he had heard about them... apparently, humans hurt other humans and made them do their bidding, Alfred absolutely detested the idea. He was all about freedom.
He glance towards the so-called 'slave'. It was a small man, he was frail and thin probably from not having much food, pretty dirty and covered in little scratches and bruises here and there. His scruffy blonde hair was a mess , just covering his unusually large eyebrowsand be wore only a torn old white shirt and equally torn dark brown pants, no shoes.
Despite his rather pathetic appearance, he stood tall and defiantly, "Safe'? What the bloody hell are you saying! I was beaten by bastards like you everyday for things I didn't do! I'm not willing to do as you greedy assholes say even if it means death! I will never drop my self to your level, much less below it!" The blonde replied in a a powerful voice and a slight british accent.
The large man smirked and shot at the dingy, effectivly creating a small hole in it's bottom. The blonde gasped quickly rooting through a pile of stuff he had found on an abandoned ship. And empty bottle, a gun, there it is! A shirt!
He spun around and immediatly began stuffing the shirt into the small hole to prevent from sinking... though now there was a fair bit of water in his shoes and his feet were cold and wet. He groaned, damned marines.
Alfred's eyebrows creased, he wanted to help the man but... Mathew warned him already: Humans and Merman should never meet. He sighed sadly and was about to turn tail when he found a net thrown over him.
He dived emmediatly, trying to escape the rope net. He was just below the surface so no one could see him yet but he needed to escape the net before they pulled him up. He panicked, this was not good...
He heard voices slightly distorted by water "What is it?" he heard one, "A mermaid! I swear it! Here, I'll show you let me pull it up!"
Alfred struggled helplessly against the net, the surface getting closer until...
BANG BANG BANG
The net went slack.
Alfred escaped the net and made a fair amount of distance between him and the boat before surfacing, he was so far he had to focus to hear what the were saying but he couldn't afford to be spotted again.
He stared at the man holding the net, he noted that a few of the ropes connected to the net were snapped... there were also small holes in the boat behind where the ropes had been severed.
Alfred looked over to the blonde man and found out the reason for his escape.
The blonde held a still smoking gun, still aimed towards the net, a cocky grin on his face.
The larger man looked furious "WHY DID YOU DO THAT! IT COULD HAVE BEEN A MERMAID!" he bellowed, ignoring the man who originally saw Alfred whine "Not 'could', it was a mermaid! I saw it!"
The blonde wobbled slightly, he was obviously in rough shape and it was beginning to take it's toll.
"I don't really believe it was a mermaid..." the man yelled, Alfred pouted he was real! "But!" the man continued, catching Alfred's attention, "If there was one, I would never let it or any other living creature have to go through the shit you gits put me through!"
Alfred's expression softened. This guy didn't even know he existed and still he protected him.
The large man narrowed his eyes, "You'll pay you dirty bastard" with that said, four marines pulled a cannon out to the railing of the ship and aimed it at the little dingy.
Alfred's eyes went wide, they weren't going to shoot the poor guy were they!
Before the blonde could take three steps back in the boat, the cannon fired and the dingy was replaced with an explosion of water and bits of wood.
Alfred bit his tongue, almost crying "Oh my God!", he dived underwater and rushed over to the dingy...if it could be called that anymore.
He avoided bits of wood, looking around around until he found what he was searching for. The unconscious body of the slim blonde slowly floated down, little bubbles escaping his lips.
Alfred swam forward, gathering the man into his arms before bolting, holding him close to his chest. When he was sure it was safe to surface, Alfred did, pulling the man's head up above the water knowing humans needed air.
The mysterious blonde didn't move (or breathe) when they broke the surface. Alfred frowned and lightly shook him "Dude! Breathe! Humans need air dumbass!" he yelled in a panic, even though the unconscious man wouldn't be able to hear his kind words.
Alfred jumped a little when the man's eyebrows creased and he groaned. Suddenly the man cradled in Alfred's arms began to cough violently, coughing up what looked like liters of water.
When the man's coughing turned into soft breathing, Alfred let out a breath he didn't know he was holding.
"Well dude, looks like we're even, I saved yer life and you saved mine!" he chuckled, looking at the peaceful expression on the sleeping man's face. He giggled "Your eyebrows are ridiculous! ...but other than that, you're kinda cute~" he chimed.
Well he saved the human which was good and all but now he had a bigger problem...
What should he do with the human?
