Chapter Two: Broken, Yet Strong
My eyes widened. The very first thing I noticed besides any other thing was a human. She had legs! I've never seen them before in real life. And she also had long flowing silky green hair. It kind of reminded me of the fresh seaweed in the sea, except with much more value.
Her eyes were a dazzling violet. She was wearing a black tank top and white shorts. Overall, she was the most beautiful creature I've ever seen!
But the one thing that I noticed was that she held no smile. She was sitting on the soft ground, alone. No one else was on the beach. The bright warmth of the sunset and cool breeze was only heard/felt.
As silent as could be, he slowly swam closer to the shore. The girl didn't seem to notice yet. Allen made sure his tail was no where in sight above water just in case. Unfortunately, Timcampy came fluttering about and made a small sound. The white-haired merman began mumbling at the golem, scolding him.
Even with all this noise in the silence, the girl appeared still oblivious. Allen noticed this and concluded that she must be in deep thought. Timcampy hid under the water and tuned blue.
Then, Allen did something unexpected, almost subconsciously, and immediately he almost regretted it. "H-Hello?"
The girl's head snapped over to him. She appeared to have been awakened from her little "trance" and flinched a bit. I had thought for a second she noticed I was a merman, but then was confused when she smiled. And that one smile lit up her whole face. "Why hello there! I'm sorry, I've just been in thought..." I didn't say anything as she continued.
"You see, my brother and I were supposed to be going on vacation when my uncle had come. Komui is my brothers name. He's a scientist." She chuckled. "and..." She paused for a second. "...Leverrier...is my uncle." She had spat his name and "uncle" out like they were venom.
I still wasn't saying anything and was listening closely to every word this human had to say. After all, it was the first time I had heard or spoken with a human before. "And my uncle is watching over me while Komui was forced to leave due to his job for the time being. Leverrier is a horrible man. He threatens me, hurts me, and taunts me. I usually just cry myself to sleep every night. I couldn't tell my friends at school, even my closest ones..." She looked me in my stormy gray eyes.
"How come I'm telling you all this?" She chuckled again, humorless. "I just met you and now I'm just telling you my deepest feelings. I'm not sure why though..."
"Your a strong woman." I complemented in awe. She looked at me curiously. I had a feeling she was going to ask how, but I spoke again first. "You still live everyday, not afraid to let your tears out. You still have hope. Still hold heart and still can smile like that. That's a rare trait."
The human stared at me, unreadable feelings across her face. I really should stop talking, but I just kept blabbering out words. "You take all of this pain by yourself. I admit that you're strong...But you need to sort this problem out. Don't be afraid to ask for help. He won't hurt you."
"B-But...He will. He said so." I shook my head and now was looking at her with a determined look in my eyes. "He won't hurt you. I won't let him."
We sat there, staring at each others eyes for what seemed like forever. Then, we both started to laugh simultaneously. After about a good moment of laughing, we both felt refreshed and smiled at each other.
"I'm Lenalee." She greeted, holding out a hand. I stared at it for a couple of seconds. I knew that this decision of even speaking to her in the first place would have changed everything. But at the same time, I'm glad that I had spoken to her. To this broken, yet strong girl.
After a slight moment of hidden hesitation, I took her hand. "I'm Allen, it's a pleasure."
