Just another mermaid funeral. Wasn't surprising. She was the 6th one this week. It hurt because she was one of my pod...the last thing I saw was her being carried off by humans and that was it. She was gone.
Hello, my name is Clara. I'm a pods leader and I'm on a Mission. As much as I don't like seeing my species in danger. I also don't like seeing the world closed up and in isolation. All these wars. It was so much simpler when no one knew we existed. This was all my fault. That's why I need to fix it.
Let me explain. I was inlove with a human boy and he was inlove with me. We met everyday and talked. He kept my secret. Until...
Flashback:
I swam up to the open where he was. Sitting on the pier. All alone.
"hey there beautiful "
"hi sweetie. "
"I have something to ask you"
"okay"
"smile for me babe"
"what? Why"
"just do it please"
Without questioning anymore. I lifted up my tail, arched slightly and smiled brightly. That was a mistake. Within a split second he pulled out a camera and started taking photos. Before I could do anything he was gone. Off to tell the world. I was angry. Hurt and confused. I didn't know how bad it was until the humans started coming...then I knew I'd made a mistake. I haven't told anyone it was my fault...they never even knew about the boy. I hope they never find out more but I have to fix this.
