I was dreaming again. I saw light everywhere, stars dancing. It was strange, but yet, beautiful. It was the most oddest thing I had ever seen, and I saw myself, but differently. At first I seemed to glow, but then I saw myself more clearly. I had blue hair, eyes shining so brightly and so blue it would be counted as looking into the sea itself. My lips had a tint of blue, and along with my eyelashes, and eyebrows. I could have stared at the image of me forever while I saw myself glow, but then it started to fade and darkness returned.

As I woke, I felt something strange around me. It felt more like I was surrounded by water, and it was pressing me tight.

"Wake-up." Said a voice in my head. I couldn't seem to understand it at first however.

Suddenly my eyes flew wide open and I stared at—at…

I tried gasping but water entered my mouth. I choked at first and drew in a deep breath. I sighed and slowly let air come in and out feeling the warmth of the water around me—

Wait a minute, I was breathing? In the water? No way! I couldn't believe it! But then I started sucking in more air, but not from my mouth. Although I felt water rush into my throat then release it as I sucked out air. Water air, in my terms.

I had a feeling of dread that this wasn't right. I slowly felt my hands crawl up to my neck and I felt something. More like three slits, I felt it move as I was sucking in oxygen from the water.

I tried to scream but bubbles only formed. I wanted to run, far away from here. I tried moving my legs but they seemed stuck together. I tried once more to make them move, but they remained stuck.

I looked down to see what was the problem of my legs. As I looked at it, I couldn't believe it. I couldn't! Instead of normal human legs, I had a long blue fish tail that slithered around the water attached to my upper body. I couldn't release my eyes off it, the fish tail looked so long and powerful, it was just too amazing. It seemed to sparkle under the water.

At the end of the long tail I saw two long fins. The color was lighter blue however.

Even as the tail looked pretty and wonderful, that led me to one question. How did I become this? But I only shook my head, this was a dream! A very nice magical dream with me pretending to be a mermaid. But I couldn't believe that, everything felt so real. The water, my fish tail, everything.

I pinched my arm, it hurt. Dreams aren't supposed to hurt, so that means this is true? I looked around me, I saw seaweed on the ocean floor slithering around, and it looked as if they were trying to grab me. I saw a couple of clown fish moving near some corals ignoring as some fish swam by quickly. I also spotted a hammerhead shark nearby lazily swimming around. I knew the shark wasn't dangerous, but many fish swam away afraid of it.

I looked over myself once more and noticed I was wearing the exact same blue tank top I was wearing before.

"Having fun?" Said that voice. I whirled my head around to see no one, only other fishes. That voice, where was it coming from? And why does it sound as if it's speaking in my head?

I tried saying 'where are you' from my mouth, but I couldn't. How could I speak? I didn't know.

I tried once more to speak but then something strange happened. I spoke from my head, and it felt like I heard me speaking, but only differently. It felt more like me turning on a switch in my head so I could start communicating, then as I stopped speaking, I felt as if I turned off the switch.

It was a strange feeling, and I tried doing it a couple more times, and it worked. I practiced for about ten minutes trying to see how I had to communicate more efficiently. I figure out you just had to focus really hard on trying to speak, and if you don't, it only turns out to be a thought in your head. I believed I could only communicate from thought speaking only. And it was actually fun when you got used to it.

As for my sight, it was keener, and more accustomed in looking under the water than on the surface since it was clearer. My hearing had changed too, I heard all sorts of noises around the sea. I heard something splash into the water even though it was a great distance away. I also felt differently, I could feel the water shake as fish were swimming by, and could make out which fish made more movement than the other. It was more like explaining to me that if a fish made more vibration, the bigger it was. It was difficult to explain actually, it would be easier if someone tried it themselves to see what I really meant.

Stop it, I scolded myself, you're supposed to know what happened to you, not fool around!

I heard laughter in the distance and I frantically tried to spot who was making those noises. Soon, a shadow appeared near some rocks coming closer and closer to me.

After the figure was only about ten feet away from me, I could now see it more clearly. What I stared at was shocking, I was looking right at a merman! I saw its long black fish tail, which was longer than mine, its cold stare with those black eyes of his, and his long black hair moving around the water along with his bare chest.

I thought he looked like the merman I had met before, the one that nearly drowned Mina, but something was different. He didn't have the same appearance exactly, and he seemed more… evil. His eyes didn't show the kindness the other did, and his face looked different.

I saw him grin at me. I also noticed him stare at me from top to bottom, it was very uncomfortable.

"You remind me of your father." That voice, so it was coming from him. And he didn't speak from his mouth, so I was guessing he spoke from his mind.

I didn't reply but I grew puzzled, he knew my father?

I saw him grin again then he swam towards me and I backed away surprised at how I could move my fin so well.

His grin widened as he watched me move away from him frightened. "Scared of me little one?" He said. I glared at him, my father had called me 'little one' when I was a small girl.

I stared right into his eyes and felt fear come across me. He was very frightening if you stared at him closely.

I was about to swim away from him when he grabbed me from my arm roughly. I was going to scream let go when I remembered I could only communicate through thought speak.

Once again I felt as if there was a switch turning on in my brain as I focused hard on how to speak through my mind. I tried once, but I don't think he heard, so I tried again. "Let go!" I yelled. Once more I felt as if I heard myself speak. He only laughed.

"You're not going anywhere my Queen." He replied slowly, his voice made you want to scream and get as far away from him as possible.

"Let go!" I repeated.

His iron grip remained as he continued to hold me by the arm. I decided to use my tail so I smacked him hard on the chest making his grip soften, but not enough for me to escape.

"Fool, you cannot hurt me, do you realize who I am?" He replied bitterly.

I didn't care whatever he said, I just wanted for him to let go. I struggled under his grasp but he pulled me along to who-knows-where.

I saw fish swim away in fear probably recognizing the merman.

"Where are you taking me?" I asked. I was getting used to thought speech.

He only stared back at me and grinned. I began to panic a little as I saw gleam across his eyes, I wondered what he had in mind.

My first day of being a mermaid and I was stuck with this moron. Somehow I smirked at that, calling him a moron was just too weird.

He glared at me wondering what was so funny, I didn't reply.

"You think everything is funny don't you? Well, I bet it wouldn't be funny when I forced you to drown that other day at the beach." He scolded, "To bad that stupid human had to save you before you would've been mine."

My eyes grew wide open, so it was not my imagination that I drowned. It was him the whole time!

"Especially how I enjoyed to watch you father die after what he had done to me so long ago." He said.

I was horrified all of a sudden, he had killed my father! I clenched my teeth so hard I think they were going to break.

"You killed my father! I'll kill you for this!" I threatened. I struggled harder under his grip but he only laughed.

I was so furious at the moment, realizing he was the one causing so much pain in my family. My mother died from my dad's loss, and now Mina and me had no parents and were stuck at a orphanage. Which reminds me, what would happen to Mina now that I was gone?

"I hate you!" I yelled at him, suddenly I brought my free hand up and hit his face causing a scratch to appear. A thin line mark was shown across his cheek with blood oozing out. But slowly, the wound started to heal.

I was shocked as I saw him heal, and he smiled at me evilly, but I struggled again under his grip but he took little notice.

I bit down on his hand, hard. The hardest I could ever do and he let me go, feeling the pain on his hand.

But I swam away from his as quickly as I could, trying to be the as far from his as possible. I heard his yells in my mind, but they soon grew distant since I was getting far from him.

I continued to swim not even stopping one second, I swam until I saw night approach and I slowed down realizing he hadn't come after me, but I knew he would later. One day he probably would. But why had he killed my father? How did he know my father? Why did he try to drown me before? I had a feeling he had made me into this mermaid, and I wondered how. Was he some sort of magical merman with lots of super powers or something? Evil as he is, he was very strange. But why was he after me? I shook my head, so many questions!

As I swam I saw a manta ray swim close to the surface moving its wings lazily in the water. I saw a swordfish swim at the bottom chasing a small school of fish, there were four dolphins up ahead and I saw them look at me in interest.

I heard them make clicking noises excitedly as they swam my direction. As they drew closer, I could see from their looks that they were wondering if I was something they could play along with. I decided to have some fun with them, just to forget about that haunting merman and enjoy the sea for a while.

I swam towards the dolphins and made a twist around the water to show I wanted to play along as well. They made noises happily and swam away looking to see if I would follow, I did. They stopped for a moment and made clicking noises to each other, probably talking about what they would play.

Suddenly the dolphins swam off in such a quick movement, I wondered if they were scared of me. But then they stopped to realize I wasn't coming along.

Then I understood, they were going to race! Well, that sounded a bit fun.

I swam quickly over to them and they continued to race, jumping out of the water and diving back down making me feel the water vibrate. I wanted to try too, so I leaped up to the surface seeing me fly in the air for just a moment until I came splashing back down. I was so surprised to see how easy it was since my fish tail was so strong and quick.

The four dolphins were having fun seeing me doing tricks as I jumped. I made a twist once I leaped out of the water feeling so graceful, so happy. The sea felt like home to me, more like I belonged here. I began to think how I could ever live out on land for so long, the water was everything to me.

I cried out in joy as I made another twist in the air landing back with a hard splash into the water. The dolphins saw this and tried as well, but managed only to make half a twist above the air, which made them land in the water on their backs.

I watched as a dolphin started to leap straight up the air then landing straight down instead of leaping in a diving motion.

I saw other dolphins try this too, and they appeared to enjoy it. I decided to give it a try, and as I leaped I flew higher up in the air, making a double twist, and landing back down.

The dolphins squealed happily until they stopped and grew silent. They watched as a figure moved our way and I looked to see what was approaching.

The dolphins swam away not too eagerly, but a little afraid. I still remained in my spot and noticed a person approaching, until I noticed its long black fin.

I grew frightened and was about to swim away when I saw his face. It was different than the other merman's, and I noticed its kindness on his face. His eyes were black much like the others, but not horrifying. No, it wasn't the same merman at all, and I looked to see that he was smiling at me kindly.
