A/N: Hey! First fanfiction out there! To those of you who have seen other versions of this, but it got deleted about five times, I'M SORRY! This is dedicated to you guys who've seen shorter versions that got deleted. I deleted them because I wasn't sure how to work the whole posting chapters thing and I got scared ok!? Anyway, I don't have anything on my profile or ever will have anything there(probably) because I'm only here to give the nice minions stories! Plus my mind needs to explode on multiple people because my friends are going crazy with my crazy craziness. Enjoy this little disclaimer comic thing here...

ME: I DO NOT OWN TWILIGHT! SM DOES!

EMMETT: What is SM?(wiggles eyebrows)

ME: She's a person, Stephenie Meyer? She's like your...mom? No...

ME: No, sorry, hun.

*Rosalie glares as I say 'hun' to Emmett*

ENJOY THE STORY!_

"Are you sure this will work?" I asked one of my sisters, Misi. She wasn't my real sister, she was actually one of my most loyal servants, so I considered her as a sister. My tail twitched with anticipation as I curled it around a rock and waited for her reply. But she didn't respond. I peeked out of my cramped hiding spot, changing my scale's colors so I could blend in with the rocks I was hiding behind. Misi was sheepishly talking to one of the elders, Lily. She was changed into a mermaid when she was just 16. Mermaids are immortal so we don't get older or die of old age or anything. Not even hunger. Lily was one of the first mermaids ever created. The very first mermaid was Didyme, she is so beautiful and ancient and wise and is one of the lucky mermaids with a power. You only get it if you had a power when you were human, like pyschics. Every human is one, but many don't acknowledge it. Didme is living in the tower across the reef! She says she's waiting for something, or someone. We're never allowed to get close to her tower. She never comes out. Her story was that she was the most beautiful human ever until one of her jealous brothers-in-law stranded her by a river stating, 'If I can't have you, than no one can!' and ran off. Soon after he came running back past her and disappeared into the woods by her. She was confused but heard a splashing in the water. Didyme was very kind and caring, and still is just a bit sad. She went towards the sound, thinking it was a wounded animal, and got too close. It was a strange fish creature. With odd white scales that oozed a glowing green juice, its eyes wild and yellow, it almost looked like a bird with its odd designed mouth and flippers. It was very large, but Didyme couldn't see from where she was and and before she knew it, it sank its green juice covered fangs into her legs, arms, and ribs. Her transformation was lonely, but not entirely, the fish stayed with her, she was terrified but the transformation of a mermaid is extremely cold so she didn't move a muscle. When it was over, she befriended the fish and it lives with her in the tower. They speak among themselves in complete private. Almost as if they were planning something.

The very first mermaids were created 1824 years ago. To become a mermaid, all you have to do is rip a scale off of your tail and stab it into the human's heart! Simple enough... I think. I 've never done it, because I'm not allowed to leave this stupid castle/cave thing! So that's what Misi and I are doing. We're escaping.

Sorry, I'm Princess Mary Isabella Swan, but call me Isabella! I have beautiful, soft, and wavy, dark hair and bright sky blue eyes. My tail scales are a nice and shiny cerulean hue, but is brown at the moment for my disguise behind these rocks.

I used my advanced hearing to listen in on what they were saying.

"I know what you're doing, Misi," said Lily. My eyes widened, and I nearly gasped. How did she know?

"And what, exactly, am I doing that you know of?" asked Misi, innocently. Her magenta tail was twitching from side to side, and she was keeping her head down. Her honey blonde hair covering her face. Lily replied in a hushed tone, amused,"You're escaping with the princess, today right?" I gasped. Lily heard this and faced me.

"C'mon, Princess Marie, I won't disrupt your big journey and I won't tell anybody about it either. I have a feeling you will discover everything you want to know and have everything you ever wanted and more. Now, good-bye. I'll see you girls... later." With that, she swam away and we just stood there swaying in the current and gaping at her like a fish.

"That lady is weird, but whatever let's go!" Misi whispered enthusiastically. We swam back to the hiding place and moved the rock my tail was wrapped around earlier. The hole under it was big but only small enough that it would fit our tail fins which were at least arm's length.

"Are you ready for this, Princess Isabella?" Misi asked, hyper to finally stop being forced to wash tails with jellyfish. She occasionally got shocked, but of course didn't do anything to our hard skin, but Misi was deathly frightened of anything that shocks you. It reminds her to much of her death...

Her full name is Melissa Platt she had a big family. A brother and three sisters. Her mother died when her youngest sister, Esme Platt, was born and her father didn't do anything. He usually came home drunk after work, screaming at his children that it was all their fault that his wife wasn't here. He was also abusive. She was second youngest and got blamed for most things since she was the oldest girl that hasn't moved out or ran away. Her only brother ran away but really comitted suicide in a vacant alleyway. The body was found a week after. She was so vulnerable. Her sisters didn't do anything about it because they were oblivious to all of it. Her two older sisters didn't get abused because their mother was alive then and their father didn't become a drunky. One sister was in college only visiting on holidays and the other was married, and lived in Russia with her husband. Misi couldn't do anything or she would be 'punished.' Even though she never told anyone, she still got beat and raped because her father was so drunk he couldn't think straight. They lived right next to the beach in Europe. But, then again, it was also right next to a bar...

One day, Misi and her little sister were done cleaning the house, finished cooking dinner, completed their homework and were both completely bored. Their father was at work, but they weren't allowed to listen to radio because their father was to paranoid to let them hear what is in the 'outside world.' They decided to go down to the beach for an hour or two to pass the time. But they had no idea a storm was supposed to come; their father knew. He was out faraway from the city getting drunk, again.

They wanted to learn to swim. Before you would enter the beach, there was a balcony on top of the hill with a metal flagpole in the middle, and steep, green and peeling paint covered stairs led to the ocean and ten feet from the ocean water. The storm roled in faster than thought imaginable and it was very fierce. Thunder was piercing through their eardrums and they were soaking wet before they even touched the sand. Misi had the umbrella in hand and opened it up and hung on to the metal flagpole for dear life. Esme was fighting against the wind of the storm and trying to get to Misi without flipping off the wooden balcony. Suddenly, lightning striked the flagpole and electricuted Misi and she fell to the floor, almost completely dead. The storm was causing a hurricane and Esme barely got away before a giant wave hit and took Misi's body away. There, siting in the water was a mermaid, just waiting for her meal to come to her, but she was stopped by a fish drinker and saved Misi, thus turning her into a mermaid.

We're all sisters... in a way. Family shouldn't force family to do stuff they don't want to! Wash your own shark tail! That's right! I said it! Okay, now I'm talking to myself. It's so lonely being a mermaid. Only girls can turn into mermaids. Emphasis on mer-MAID.

"Okay, Misi. Let's do this," I whispered encouragingly.

"Hmm? WHAT!? Sorry I wasn't paying attention," Misi said startled. Misi was changed when she was fourteen and has been a mermaid for fifty seven years, not like me. I'm seventeen and have been a mermaid for sixty eight years. Misi has such a low attention span and acts like an eight year old girl.

"Okay, let's go!" Misi suddenly said and dived into the blue hole leading to the ocean. I dived after her and pulled the rock back into place. I looked around. It was beautiful! The coral and fish and eel and seaweed. How I love Europe! But somehow, I know I'm not going to miss this place while I'm gone. I looked towards the secret door of the castle/cave thing. I don't know what it is! It's a big cave used for a castle. Period.

The coral and fish completely blocked out all suspicions of the door being anything but a rectangular mound of sand. That's perfect. I may not care for being princess but I do care for my people to be kept a secret. The elders will take my place while I'm gone and hopefully not go crazy over my disappearance.

Just then I heard a splash and whipped my head to the direction of the noise. It was a boy! A human boy! I was ecstatic and nervous at the same time. Misi screamed and I face-palmed my forehead. Our voices aren't muffled out by the water. When the boy heard her he snapped his head to our direction and widened his eyes as he saw us there, deep in the water, holding hands. I extended my hand and began to sing. His eyes glazed over and I knew what that meant. It meant that my love spell was working. He swam over to me and took my extended hand, and stared into my sky blue eyes. I let go of Misi's hand and put it to the back of his head, where his brain was closest and I flexed my fingers, moving the blood in his brain to make him forget he ever saw us down here and swim away.

Mermaids can control any kind of liquid, including blood, which makes it easier to get our food. Normally, mermaids would drink from human blood but I discovered that you could drink from fish, too! Probably many mermaids do this, too, because if you're drinking from humans, it's kinda like cannibolism, since we are humans, half humans that is. I like drinking from fish because it makes your eyes an exotic sky blue! If you drink from humans, your eyes turn dark purple, looking almost brown or red, maybe even black!

We can also put humans under our love spell! All you have to do is sing, or hum to them. We can sing to ourselves so no one will fall in love with us, too. We don't like to use them on girls or they would think they have always liked girls, and that's how the first homosexual girl was created. Not good.

"Hey, Isabella?" Misi asked after the boy had gone.

"Yes, Misi?" I replied.

"Do you even know how to get to America?"

"No, but when we come to a school of fish, we can ask for directions, okay?" I confidentally answered. So we swam aimlessly for hours in the water, hand in hand, singing together on the beach, bathing in the sun until our tails got dry and we would practice walking! Oooh, how I love to walk!

Soon enough, we came across another mermaid.

I have decided that I will update every week Or at least try to.

So tell me what you guys think. Leave a nice comment and/or review! But you know, you guys don't HAVE to leave a NICE comment and/or review but whatever you know... I'm all cool with... whatever...

This chapter wasn't one of my best. And I know I should probably add more interesting parts because y'know,

"First impression is your reputation" but I guess I just want you to be eager for the next chapter to see if it's any good? IDANT NAW! - ( 'i don't know' without moving lips)

If any of you minions got confused about anything just ask and I will post the answer and question in the next chapter because other minions might like to be stalkers and see what you think of my story. THAT'S RIGHT MINION STALKERS! I CARE FOR YOU TOO! I might post your pen name or nickname or whatever you sign the comment by if you want me to all you have to say is 'post name' at the end of your comment but if you don't just leave it blank or type 'don't post name' easy, simple, and professional sounding! But seriously though I don't want you guys to be lost and then all of a sudden this and that happens while your still there and not here, this and that will happen. I said that twice. I'm literally saying you CAN ask me ANYTHING! It doesn't even have to be related to this story. It could be about me! For example: How tall are you? What race are you? Do you have a religion? What is your eye color? etc.

BUT! I will not answer any questions that are tooooooo-O-0-OOOO-oo personal and I will have to report abuse on you. Sorry, I'm just on the safe side! You know what they say, 'Better stupid than sorry!'

SEE YOU GUYS NEXT CHAPTER!
