2. Whole new life without you.
Melody's POV
It's been a year already and during this time I have worked to Tia Dalma to pay my dept. It's really not that bad as it sounds. Tia Dalma is very nice to me and she sincerely felt bad that it didn't work between me and Will. She started acting more like a mother to me than a mistress and I'm really crateful about it.
She doesn't make me do any hard work. I mean it is work but not anything inhuman. Or 'inmermaid' if one wants to get technical. Mostly I just have to fill her jars or collect some herbs outside or things like that.
And she also helped me a bit with my mermaid problem.
See when one drop of water falls to my leg my tail appears immediately. It took three times me to fall to the floor with my tale because some water splashed on to me 'till she did it. And it doesn't help that we live really near the water and that there are some animals running around so she made special potion to me.
Now I can control my tail's appearance at my will. I can make it appear and disappear. I remain mermaid but the water doesn't affect me.
She told me that the potion she gave me five years ago doesn't work on me anymore. So I can't ever become human again. So even if Will by some miracle changed his mind about Elisabeth (which I doubt) I could not be with him since he would eventually grow old and die when I would keep my perfect twenty year old self. My heart could not bear it.
Beside I'm bound to work for Tia Dalma the next hundred years so eventually when I'm free again Will would most likely be dead already. But I'm certain he spends wonderful life with the woman he loves, Elisabeth. I'm sure she can give Will everything I never could and more. They both love each other so much. It would not surprise me if they were already married.
Sometimes I curse myself for falling in love because I can never let go from my love. I will love Will from now to rest of the eternity. And it pains me to know he never loves me the same way.
