Previously:

"How do you do that?" he asked, astounded. His voice was like honey, it was delicious. I licked my lips, and ducked my head.

"Do what?" I asked quietly.

"Not need air for immense periods of time? That was amazing!" he breathed, did he really want me to answer that? He dove back underwater to wet his messy hair, a large bubble of air exploded in my face, he saw my fin.

Chapter 2:

A couple of seconds later his bronze messy head broke the surface. His golden eyes staring at me. I stared back, not know what to say or what to do. Seconds, minutes, hours could have passed; all we did was staring at each other, not moving not talking- nothing.

A crack behind Edward sounded, and we both whipped around, a GORGEOUS man stood at an opening by the far corner. He was beautiful; he had the same chiseled features as Edward, same pale skin, same odd golden eyes. He stood there then, "Edward? Come on! Rosalie an-" he stopped abruptly, he was looking at me with the oddest expression, I couldn't tell what it was for my life. "Uh, Edward?" he said, then looked at Edward. He just looked at him, the beautiful man's eyes widened and he let out a loud breath.

"I'm coming." Edward said finally. One last look at me and he was out of the water. The other man just looked at me with aw; he looked partly dazed, like in a fantasy world. "Come on, man. Rosalie and Alice are waiting." Edward said, and without one look back to me, then departed from my cavern. I stayed there for an immeasurable amount of time, just staring at the small hole in the wall, where had that come from? I thought.

It was way past dark when I decided that I should be getting home, the water was exceptionally dark- I could barely see a thing! I made my way back, I believe I was about half way there when a unimaginable pain shot through my right side, I quickly inspected what had caused it, and to my horror, it was a hook. The metal was stuck in the flesh of my right side, and the water around me started to fade red. I tugged on it to try and get it out, but it was stuck!

Suddenly, I felt myself being hauled up closer and closer to the water's surface. The pain in my side was aching and stinging without mercy. I just held on to the invisible line and let myself be brought to the surface. The short journey to the top was terrifying; I mean what would happen to me? Would they dissect me? Would they kill me? See me as a threat? Would they put me on display? Was I destined to be in a glass or metal cage for the rest of my life? What would my father do when he heard about this? Would the evil human who was lucky enough to catch me let me go, or sell me for money? I was so terrified; I thought that my heart was going to burst! Too soon for my taste my head broke the water and the loud gasps of male humans were all I could hear. Let's just say that I'm glad we wear tops.

"Oh my holy god! I caught a mermaid! I caught a MERMAID!" was all I could hear, I was glad somebody was happy.

"Oh she's beautiful! Jeb, don't get any ideas!" said a woman, ah, a woman. She walked up to me and wiped the tears from my eyes. He was a caring and loving soul, I could tell by her eyes.

"Can you please tell them to quiet down at least a little, please?" I said quietly, I wasn't even sure she heard me, she just stood there. She had a shocked expression on her face, what was she surprised that I could talk or something? I'm not an animal- well, only half.

"Uh, y-y-y-yeah, s-sure." She stuttered, and then she turned around and yelled, "Damn you! Shut your pie holes! She's scared! The least you could do is give her some peace!" the men were wide eyed at her little outburst. They nodded and a chorus of 'yes ma'ma s' and 'sorry Trish s' she was a true miracle worker. I whispered her thanks as she helped onto the boat.

"Are you going to let me go?" I asked her while she tried to take out the hook.

"Hell no! Are you kiddin! Why would we do that?" she asked, looking at me like I had three heads. I just stared at her, why would she want to keep me; I thought that she was on my side.

"Well, t-t-then what are you g-g-going to do to me?" I asked, a little scared of what she would say. She looked up from the hook that was still embedded into my side.

"Well, what do you think? We're selling you to an aquarium."
