Okay, after so long, I've decided to give this story a bit of an update! It's been too long, but it's finally here! Sorry for the wait!
"Ah, it is quite the sight, is it not? The powerful mermen have not only dominated most of this underwater city, but they have captured all of the resident's mermaids and each of them are being taken into their own chambers..."
Ariel didn't know how long she was stuck to Zeno's side... a few hours maybe... close to ten? She didn't even bother counting as she slowly looked around. Each of Zeno's men had found and taken advantage of all of her sisters rather quickly as each of them were sticking close to the merman that had dominated them. Her eyes twinkled nervously as she turned towards the smiling Zeno, who had his arm slung around his waist. She waited for every opportunity to escape, trying to find an exit, but nothing seemed to be going her way... until eventually, Zeno's men and the sisters arrived at an underground place, far, far deep into the ocean floor.
Ariel shuddered a bit as they swam down, Zeno smirking as he whispered to the red-haired mermaid. "Careful, love. A little mucky down below."
The red haired mermaid shuddered, but followed nevertheless as she looked around the place... and gasped as she noticed the sight of the place... most fish would never think about living in these dark waters, but in cities like this, it looked pretty trashy and murky. In fact, there were even more merman swimming around than usual, some of them looking rather tough and crazed that if they ever set sight on a female, their natural instinct would take over...
Ariel winced as Zeno turned to his men. "Company, dismissed. Take your whores and do whatever you please with them! As for me..." The man chuckled as he looked over at Ariel and sniffed her. "I would like to play with my prize, just a bit..."
The mermen saluted as each of them grabbed Ariel's sisters forcefully and began to drag them off. Ariel whimpered a little as Zeno turned to Ariel with a toothy grin. "Don't worry... just follow me and everything will be fine..."
Ariel looked nervous, but knew that if she ran away now, the male merman would be pretty angry.
"The female mermaid will often show signs of fear when it comes to how powerful these merman are. Sometimes, they will look for help, pray for a miracle to come... but unfortunately, hope will never come. For this little mermaid was trapped under the enthralls of a horny, yet strong merman."
"Wh-what are you going to do to me?" Ariel asked, nervously.
"What else? I just want to play with you, is all." Zeno smiled as he swam over to the back door and opened it. "Come with me, my sweet mermaid..."
Ariel cocked her head in confusion, but nodded as she followed Zeno. The red haired mermaid looked honestly nervous as she stepped outside and noted a huge field of seagrass surrounding the area.
"Ah yes, one of the most popular mating areas of the merman and the mermaid... the high points of the grass. Once a mermaid enters the grass, they come out a different person than they were before... but this little mermaid doesn't seem to know that, does she?"
Zeno then stepped aside as he locked the door. "Go ahead."
Ariel blinked in confusion. "Are you... letting me go? But why?"
"Do you want me to make you stay inside? Come, come, princess. Surely, you can taste freedom... the only way out is through that tall grass." Zeno said with a calm demeanor on his face.
Ariel looked between the tall grass and the merman, who had dark intentions on his face. She still didn't feel too sure...
"Time's a wastin'..." Zeno smirked.
Ariel looked nervous, wondering if this was a trap of some kind... but she shook her head. She needed to be determined, avenge her father, avenge the fallen Atlantica empire. She needed all the help she could get right now... so, taking a deep breath, she swam deep in the grass.
"The female will naturally run from her intended mate at first, but as nature intends, they all come back eventually... and if she were lost... the merman would always be there to check on her..."
After a couple minutes of waiting, Zeno smirked as he started to dive into the grass after the mermaid, starting to feel the heat coming out from around him.
Ariel panted as she hid under the grass, looking for a way out somehow as she panted.
"I-I think I'm away from that awful merman..." Ariel panted as she looked up at the sky. "But how do I get home? The better question is... what home?"
The red haired mermaid looked down sadly as she put her hands over her face, looking nervous as she sobbed. Everything she knew, everything she loved... was gone... out of her life... she looked up towards the ocean top, thinking to herself how she would never explore the human world now... even if her father would forbid it...
But the mermaid didn't want to give up... not quite yet. She needed something... a plan, anything...
"Yoo-hoo! Little red haired pretty one! I'm coming for you!"
Ariel yelped to herself as she remained hidden, thinking to herself that she needed to get away from this... this stupid, sexy merman first! Zeno, she knew the name... she was definitely going to remember it for some time.
"The merman calls to his mate, but the mermaid remains hidden, as if wanting him to play. Ever the impatient type, though, the merman will stop at nothing until he obtains his prize... oh ho, what's this?"
Little did Ariel or Zeno realized that not too far away, a shark with eyes that glowed as red as blood was swimming around, looking for his next meal, hungrily.
"Looks like the sharks have spotted this pretty mermaid, intending to feed. And there's nothing that says get out of a shark's way than when it wants to feed... how will our little mermaid get out of this scenario, I wonder?"
AND just like that, I'll have to end this chapter here. What do you think will happen with Zeno and Ariel? Will Ariel start feeling a mutual attraction to Zeno here? And what of Zeno's true intentions? Find out next time!
