Natalya POV.
I opened my eyes. My head really hurts right now. Where am I? My atmosphere is so, circular. The room was gray and there was a strange white glassy thing in front of me. There was something in there. I whimpered. I wanna go home.
I stood up and fluttered my wings. I flew up high, expecting to be able to get away. Instead my head smacked into something hard above my head. I fell and hit the cold floor. I stood up again and walked forward. I hit something cold and hard. I kept banging my fists against the cold wall. I need to get out!
"That's glass, sweetheart," A voice informed. I looked over to see a beautiful fay in the same prison beside me. Her hair was a beautiful shade of green that was cascading down past her shoulders. Her eyes were a green color that reminded me of the leaves in summertime. Her green dress sparkled in the dim light. She had a white lab coat around her shoulders. The most amazing thing about her were her wings. They were dragonfly wings instead of butterfly wings. A pang of jealously ran through me.
"What's your name?" she asked. I looked down at my shoes I grabbed a strand of my hair and twirled it around my finger.
"Natalya," I whispered. The fay nodded.
"That's a beautiful name," she complimented. "My name is Verona. Verona Minish." I didn't say anything or do anything. I knew I was going to cry. I'm not sure why. I'm 486 years old (18) I'm not a baby anymore. Yet, I couldn't hold it in anymore. I started sobbing. Verona look alarmed. I put my head in my arms and curled up in a ball.
"Don't cry! We'll be out of here soon," Verona tried to comfort me. It didn't work. It came out like a flood.
"Oh my goodness," a really loud voice exclaimed. "Are you alright?" I looked up to see a giant. She was in that white thing. Her hair was short and green like Verona's. She had sea shells braided in her hair. And something was sticking out of the water. It was red and orange. It looked like a... tail? I gasped.
It. was. a. mermaid.
