Chapter 11

(Lucy)

The soldier stood straighter and declared he didn't believe me, not that wasn't true but it would've been a nice reaction if he did believed, even if it had just a little truth. I made sure to keep my face as calm as possible as I saw the door open behind and two people rushing in without a sound. They were quick and far to fast for me to get a good look at their features but it almost looked like one had salmon colored hair? But I could be wrong...

"You can't curse us, you don't have that power. It's pathetic that you're even trying to threaten us, we're leaving you behind so it really doesn't matter if we kill you or not." He said coolly.

I shivered and hoped he didn't notice, he was right, they are fully capable of killing me here and now just before leaving me to rot in this god forsaken tank.

The thought annoyed me and my eyebrows came together in frustration, guess that wasn't a good idea to show my emotions because he saw my change in aptitude and decided to do what he claimed. He shot me -more like he shot at me- the bullet pierced the glass as if it were nothing. The liquid that could hardly be called water started flooding out of the bullet hole in the glass, I thanked that it would take longer than usual sense it's heavier and thinker than normal.

The jerk smiled and then left followed by the three other men that looked like they still kind of believed my curse; I felt satisfied with that for now.

They left the room with a slam of the door; I continued to watch the closed door, waiting to see if they would might suddenly decided to turn back and open the doors to finish me off. Once I deemed them gone for good I scanned the room for the two mysterious people who sneaked in without any effort.

It didn't appear like they wanted to come out right away so I waited for them to come out of their own accord. They stilled didn't come out so I did what any normal person would do, call out if any body was there.

"Hello? I know you two are in here, I saw you come in." I called, trying not to sound threatening; not that I could.

There was a shuffling then came out a raven haired man, his handsome and really geared up from head to toe that has a similar get up as the men who just left moments ago. He froze the moment his eyes landed on me; I not surprised, it was the same reaction I got when the fishermen first pulled me out of the water.

With my heightened hearing I could hear him mumble to himself.

"Seriously? They're real? ... I can't believe it."

After a moment, as if his partner was getting impatient so he decides to step out of the shadows. Both his and my eyes widened immediately; I was right! One of them did have a salmon hair color; his mouth hung open with aww and stayed that way when finally the raven head returned from his temporary shock. He elbowed the pink haired male in the side to snap him back to reality.

The pink haired motioned some hand signals to his partner then turned to me, his eyes, a set of serious eyes; looked at me. I was a little to baffled to realize that the tanks contents started to drain faster and that the light green goo was already running off of my golden blond hair. The air touched my scalp and I panicked, dunking my head under the nasty stuff that's meant to keep me alive.

Essentially I can't be out of the water to long and despite this stuff I'm in is utterly disgusting and annoying, it still provided the natural contents from water that keeps me healthy and alive. I sank down to the bottom of the tank and I tried slowing the flow out with my hands; my muscles ached, I could barely keep the pressure on glass.

The glass cracked under my hand and a large line stretched up to the top of the tube, the glass began to squeak and I knew the glass container wasn't going to last much longer. I looked up to see the salmon haired man rush over despite his expression showing he didn't want to approach me recklessly. He didn't know what I was capable of and not to mention he was going through a reality crises.

He stopped short 4 feet away, his eyes going from -on guard- to worried. The glass screamed louder this time, the sound a little to sharp for comfort. I looked up to she the top of the green heavy water-like substance rapidly descends upon me. I though hard about what to do, how to get out of this alive, am I able to trust the two strangers here?

My brain was going through and through scenarios and questions to benefits and the consequences, which was my better option and which one wasn't?

I didn't have any more time to think when another crack speed all across and around the tube and then it gave way.

The glass shattered and the remaining goo washed me out just in time to avoid the lid of the tube that came breaking down when it's support broke. My tail slid across some glass that lie broken on the floor; small shards dug into my scaled skin and I clenched my jaw in pain. When I finally came to a stop I was a good 6 feet away from the disaster call a prison.

I was finally free but to no avail, if I don't find a way to get into water sooner or later I'll be a dead mermaid either way. I quick looked at my only option now; the to human males that stood shocked and motionless that are in the same room as me. With nothing to lose and no other options left for me to use I called out to them for help.

"Please. Save me."

Finally! I finally managed to finish this chapter! For unknown reasons I was having trouble writing this up, I already knew what I wanted to happen and how it was going to go but for some odd reason the sentences I typed down just didn't seem to add up to my expectations. Either way I'm glad I managed to get through with it without any major disappointing moments.

Thank you to those of you who were waiting patiently for me to get my ass in gear and actually pick this story up again after my ridiculously long vacation from it.

And especially to a really nice Guest who mentioned 'Saved' when he/she reviewed on my story 'Recovery'. I'm glad you cared enough to even mention it on my Recovery's comment&review box, it made me extremely happy that there was someone who was looking out for my next update for not just Recovery but Saved as well.

So thank you very much! I dedicated this fresh new update after a long break to you, dear Guest. I hope you like it!

Comment & Review. Thanks.
