A/N: Thank you guys so much for the previous reviews! I hope you guys will enjoy this!
Mermaids were dark creatures. Cold-blooded animals with a body of a human and legs of a fish.
And they did anything to live. Just to live and nothing more. But they sometimes enjoyed drowning humans to their watery deaths. So that was what made humans fear the creatures.
But Ciel believed that there were more to the mermaids. So for that reason, he went to the lake that night. But really, Ciel just wanted to see the mermaid he had seen that day. The one that he met eyes with. And as he drowned, he saw that beautiful creature before him. But the mermaid was smirking at him as if it enjoyed Ciel's pain.
So as Ciel slowly fell into unconsciousness, he still remembered the mermaid's smirk that would have frightened even the devils from the deepest parts of hell.

When Ciel woke up, he thought it was a miracle…
He thought that he will die as soon as the creature pulled him into the deep cold waters but strangely…he was alive. And the more stranger was that he was lying on a large post bed with golden carvings as the frames. The bedroom was insanely large and was filled with delicate antiques. And Ciel had never seen so many riches ever in his thirteen years of life. Slowly, he crawled towards the frame of the bed and cautiously touched the golden carvings of the deep sea animals.
Suddenly he heard a voice call out, "You like the carving human?"
Ciel turned towards the door and found that creature standing there but strangely it had human legs.
"You…You drowned me b-but where is your…tail?" Ciel stuttered as his eyes widened in shock. With trembling hands he pointed towards the creature's legs as he tried to scramble away from the creature that stood in the doorway.
Sensing Ciel's fear, the creature smirked. Then with a slow pace, it approached Ciel until their faces were only an inch apart. Ciel gasped and was about to jump off the bed but was stopped as the creature grabbed Ciel's arm.
"I can change forms here because this is my home" the creature whispered which sent unpleasant shivers down Ciel's spine.
"Home?" Ciel echoed as he struggled under the creature's tight grip.
"You were lucky human" the creature continued, "I would have just drowned you for entertainment but I decided to let you live."
"W-why?"
Then the creature reached out and started to caress Ciel's flawless cheeks, the black nails tracing circular patterns on his face. Then the creature placed his lips next to Ciel's ear as he whispered, "Because you are the most beautiful creature I have ever seen." Then he gave Ciel's cheek a small lick, causing Ciel to gasp.
"And you are mine…"
