Prologue: this is my continuation of my first story. Enjoy!
Curious, she started wading in the water towards the mysterious creatures. Farther she waded, and she was so captivated, she didn't realize she was getting into deep water. Then she heard a call, released finally, from the spell she was under, and turned around and was sucked under by the under currents.
Jesse had gone Northeast, and ended up at the far end of the bay, seeing a figure wading into the water, he called out to the person, the person turned around. It was Mandy!
"Mandy, what are you doing?" He called almost laughing. Then she disappeared.
What happened, did she get sucked under, did something grab her what? Jesse thought.
Running down the sandy beach towards where he had last saw her, something jumped up, and tackled him to the ground.
"Finally, I found you!" Said Peter, quite out of breath.
"Save Mandy! Save Mandy! She- gone-under-not-there-more." Jesse said stumbling over his words.
"K, hold on. What? Breathe, speak slower. I can't understand you." Peter said exasperated.
"Mandy started wading into the water, I think she saw something, I was far down the beach, then she disappeared, then I started running." Jesse said all in one breath.
A look of fright came over Peter.
"Go back to the fairy forest, they'll keep you safe for the time being. I've got to go save Mandy." Peter said hurriedly. "Tink, take Jesse there now, please!"
With that, Jesse and Tink disappeared through the trees.
Jumping into the air, Peter scanned the ocean, looking for any sign of Mandy.
Meanwhile, Mandy was having problems breathing, at first she had thought it was under currents, but now she saw that she was being tugged by an extremely ugly creature. Struggling, to get free was hopeless, the creature had a strong grip on her legs.
Turning to see their destination, she saw a large underwater castle looming close towards them. Praying that Peter would save her, she realized that she could now breathe.
Relaxing slightly, the creature loosened his grip, that's when Mandy pulled free, franticly swimming towards the surface, when a big net snagged her, and pulled her down once again.
Discouraged, Mandy stopped struggling reluctantly, and let them pull her down. When she arrived at the castle, to guards of questionable looks pushed through sea weed curtains.
Mandy found herself on a balcony, overlooking a great arena. A rather vicious looking shark swam in circles around a large pot in the middle of the arena.
Mandy knew her fate, and she had never done anything to harm these creatures. Now closer to the creatures, Mandy found them to look almost like humans. Very ugly humans, but human looking none the less. They had green eyes, and hair that looked like sea weed. But in a variety of colors.
In a way the were mermaids, but not mermaids. They had something, evil and vicious about them.
Then a loud voice rumbled through the arena.
"We have captured prey for your entertainment, please feel free to cheer for whoever you think shall win." Announced the anonymous voice said.
With that a gurgling sound erupted from the crowd. Looking around her, Mandy found that she was not alone, there were many creatures standing around her waiting for their execution.
It looked as if she was going to be third.
The first went, he put up a good fight, but in the end the shark ate him.
The second went, he was gone even faster then the first.
Now it was her turn, the guards started leading her down towards the shark. All the while she was praying. Then a voice came over the crowd.
"You have insulted me, you have disgraced us, your Gods. You dedicated your life to other peoples pain. Release the girl, and go repent or you shall be eaten by the shark God."
Disturbed, the crowd started moving towards the exit. The guards released her and she started running back up the stairs.
Then her hand was grabbed, and she was pulled into a chamber.
There stood Peter with a big gin on his face.
"It was you wasn't it, Peter?" Mandy said now smiling.
"Yeah! It was." Now he was trying really hard not to laugh.
Mandy drew close to him, and kissed him on the cheek and said, "Thanks, I own you one!"
