["You promised! You promised you wouldn't leave!" My eyes were teary. My breath sore. I couldn't stand seeing her go.]

The day I met her.

.

The warm sun touching his face woke him up.

When he opened his eyes, he was laying on something soft.

Opening his eyes he slowly lifted his head off the ground.

Sand.

Dry sand.

Wait, sand?

He was on a beach.

Wait.

How did he get there?

Rubbing his eyes his pupils got blinded by the sunlight.

He groaned and tried to get on his feet but felt the pain of exhaustion filling his whole body.

Leaving another groan, but this time out of pain, he stood up and took a look around him scanning the place.

He hasn't been in that beach before. It must have been some sort of a small island. But how did he get there? The last thing he remembers was his ship and...his ship?

"The night fury!" he screamed. "My ship! My crew! My-"

Jumping in place he placed both of his hands on his head, when he realised it was missing.

"My hat!" he screamed again.

Acting quickly he grabbed a pointy stick that was on his feet and held it in defence.

And then...

He let the stick fall from his hands again.

His eyes widening as he realised what was in front of him.

He had heared stories about them. How beautiful they were. How they looked like water goddesses with enchanting eyes and magical bodies.

But none of those stories were even close to enough...to describe what he was seeing.

She was...extraordinarily beautiful.

Her blonde hair were shining as if they had all the stars of the sky on them. Her flawless perfect skin was flowing at the reflection of the water. Her pink lips had all the colours of the sunset and her eyes...

Her eyes.

This is where the source of all magic must be.

He had never seen anything more blue than them. Not even the sky. Not even the sea.

Her blonde hair was wet and falling long over her shoulders. Her breasts were covered with... scales? Her skin looked exactly like a fish. Even though most of her belly was exposed, her breast area was covered in fish scales in colours of blue, purple and pink...maybe green too?

And underneath the water surface, was her tail. She had a big fishtail that looked strong enough to leave a man dead with one strike. Stronger than a shark, faster than a dolphin.

A mermaid.

An actual real mermaid was swimming a few feet away from him.

He had to swipe some water off his face and rub his eyes to make sure he wasn't dreaming.

He knew the legends. He knew the tails. Mermaids were monsters. Demonic creatures that their only desire was to kill.

The daughters of the Devil.

Lost in his thoughts he spotted his sword in the sand a few feet away from him.

In a swift motion he grabbed it again and pointed it directly at her, making her gasp and swim back.

But...why was he still breathing? Was he dead? Did she kill him already and now this was the afterlife?

No.

He couldn't be dead.

His body was all wet and his breathing still steadying.

Wait.

A few blurry images started to form on his head.

His crew was attacked.

By them.

A voice...

He heard a voice and then...

One of them pulled him down into the ocean and then... everything went black.

Yup. He was definitely dead.

But he couldn't be in heaven if she was there too. It doesn't make sense. Was this hell? No... definitely not...

The mermaid looked frightened. Her whole body was shaking and her blue eyes were looking at him with fear.

Was she scared of him? How? Why? She was the monster not him.

Half of her body was out of the sea, allowing only her "human" parts to be revealed.

And yet they were enough to make Hiccup's heart beat faster every second his eyes were on her.

He noticed that she backed away a little when he accidentally got closer to her.

He didn't want her to go. This could be his chance to capture her and be done with his mission.

"I...Hi...I..." he said in his most gentle voice tone, trying to make her feel comfortable. "I um...who are you? how did I get here?"

She looked away.

She seemed to be unsure of what she had done. Maybe she did know what he was trying to tell her.

Did mermaids even talk?

"C-can you even understand what I'm saying?"

"Yes." She said almost like a whisper.

He couldn't believe it.

A mermaid.

A real mermaid saved his life. She saved him from getting eaten by the other mermaids or drowning. And now she was swimming barely a few meters away from him, staring at him. Penetrating his soul with her ocean blue eyes.

Her eyes.

He thought he knew what the ocean looked like. He thought he had seen the sea before. But looking at her eyes, it was like he was seeing it all for the first time.

God definitely has a strange sense of humour. How could something so beautiful be so evil? How can a creature so demonic, look so angelic?

Mermaids are bad. Mermaids show no mercy. Mermaids kill.

But this one?

"Y-You can talk..." he breathed heavily.

He was still pacing from the shock. His head felt dizzy. It might have been from waking up and getting up too fast. His heart was beating so fast it would explode. It might have been from her presence.

"Yes."

Her voice was less trembling than the first time she spoke. That was good. It was a sign of progress.

"Y-You saved my life."

"Yes." she blushed.

Is "yes" the only word she knows?

He decided to take another step closer to her but she immediately backed away in defence.

"Don't be afraid! I'm not going to hurt you..."

He saw disbelief and suspiciousness in her eyes. Of course she wouldn't believe him. Why would she anyway? They're natural enemies.

"I'm not afraid." She said but her body language was telling the opposite.

"Then why don't you come out of the water for a little bit?" He extended his hand trying to reach her but that only scared her even more.

She lengthened the distance between them with a gasp that made him remove his hand.

"Okay...Okay... it's okay..." He tried to calm her down.

He slowly took a few more steps towards her.

When he saw that she was backing away he stopped.

"It's okay... I'm not gonna hurt you."

She didn't move from her spot. Following her eyes he noticed that she was staring at the sword that was hanging from his belt.

Understanding that she was afraid, he threw it away.

She was still staring at him.

Rolling his eyes he took a knife out of his boot and threw it away too.

Still. Her eyes were piercing him.

pffff. fine!

He thew away a small pistol from his underwear and the bullets that came with it.

And yet she was still staring at him.

Oh come on! How can she know about all of my weapons?

He threw away the last tiny bomb that was hidden in his pocket.

That made her expression soften. And when he slowly started to approach her, she didn't back away.

This time, she hesitantly swam at his direction too.

Progress.

He had to get inside the water of course from the waist and down. She couldn't swim too close to the sore where the waters were too shallow for her tail.

If he got inside the water, it would be easier for her to kill him. Especially now that he had no weapons to defend himself.

But something inside him told him to trust her. Something in her eyes.

After all, if she wanted to kill him, why save him in the first place?

She swung her tail and swam closer to him. Her ocean blue eyes never losing contact with his. Automatically his body responded to her movement. He moved left when she swam left and he moved right when she swam right. It was like he was hypnotized. Hypnotized by her goddess like figure as she was bending her lower body to move into the water. Her tail going back and forth in such a grateful movement.

He was amazed by the sight of her. She really looked like a goddess. A magical creature that he could look at for the rest of his life.

Unconsciously, he stretched his hand to touch her again.

That made her stop.

She stood there frozen, staring at him with fear in her eyes. What was she so afraid of? She was the demon! Not him.

Her eyes were getting more frightnened as his hand was getting closer to her. Her expression hardened when she looked intensely at his hand and then back to his eyes.

He didn't know what else to do. He threw away his weapons, he got into the water, he didn't know how else to show her that he wasn't gonna hurt her. That she needed to trust him.

Then he noticed how intensely she was looking at him.

Closing his eyes he turned his head away from her, with his hand still extended in front of her, and waited.

Hesitantly at first, she slowly swam closer examining it.

And then, he felt his hand touching hers.

Opening his eyes he saw their palms connected.

Her hand felt soft. And cold.

His hand felt rough. And warm.

And when their eyes met again, it was different.

They felt like they knew each other. Like their souls could speak to each other. Like their minds were one. Like they were a reflection of each other through their eyes.

And a strange and unknown feeling inside their stomachs. A funny twinkle in their belly. A fast flutter in their heartbeats.

Slowly she let go of his palm.

"You're warm." she softly whispered.

"Uh...t-thanks?" Biting his lip he tried to hold his nervous breathing.

Her face was now awfully close to his. And her eyes sparkled like pearls reflecting the sunshine. He felt himself weaken at her presence as if all his defences were shut down. He suddenly felt an odd desire for her. Some power like a magnet. Like an energy that made him be drawn to her.

"And uh...thank you... for...you know... saving me."

He didn't know what to say. What was he supposed to say to the mermaid that saved his life? She was his enemy. At least she was supposed to be. Why would she do something like this?

More images of the attack started to reflect on his mind. And it all come back to him in a flash.

Then he remembered. His men screaming and fighting. The siren song enchanting them, leading them towards the rocks.

"You attacked us!" His sudden scream made her swim away from him.

"You started singing and...and...my men...I..."

His men.

What happened to them? Were they alive? And the night fury...

"Your ship crashed." she interrupted his thoughts.

His eyes widden.

"The Night fury? You...you sunk down the night fury?"

She only lowered her head, with her chin touching the ocean.

Holding his head, he took a moment to process everything.

"My crew! Are they alive? What happened to them?"

She looked unsure for a moment. Almost afraid to deliver some bad news to him.

"I don't know." she finally spoke.

"What do you mean you don't know?!" He seemed very angry which made her back away even more.

Was she really scared of him? She was the monster after all wasn't she?

"Why did you even bring me here?! What is this place?"

"I-it doesn't have a name...yet. It's just a small island I discovered and I...I come here sometimes and I thought...It was a safe place."

A safe place from what?

Her voice was coming out almost like a whisper.

He sighed and splashed the water in anger.

This couldn't be happening. His men. His ship. The one and only Night fury sunked down. All he had, lost in one night. And all because of them. Those monsters. All they did was kill and destroy. He remembered why he hated them so much.

Damn it he shouldn't get rid of all his weapons.

Now he was defenceless and she had the upper hand. And if she wanted to she could drown him at any minute.

How could he feel affection for her earlier? Why was he attracted to a creature that he hates?

How can you love and hate someone so much at the same time?

"Why?" he finally broke the silence a few moments later.

She seemed surprised by his sudden question.

"Why what?"

"Why did you save me?"

She wasn't answering.

She looked away akwardly crossing her arms.

"I..." She opened her mouth to speak but no words came out. "I have to go..."

Suddenly she dived into the water and disappeared, swimming on the waves.

"Wait!" Hiccup shouted but she was already gone.

Damn it!
