Atlantis - Sorry this part is a bit dialogue heavy. I have to admit it is my favorite thing to wirte
I swam until the dark sea eventually turned back to a light blue. I could see the sun piercing through the water. Like sparkly little fairy. My tail was fatigue; I practically dragged myself up shore. I worked my way on top of a rock on shore. I am not entirely sure where I was, but I could care less. I was away from him and her and that's all that mattered.
My tail sparkled from the sunlight. Pretty shades of purple and green. I liked it; it was different from most of the people in Atlantis. This fact enraged Ariel. She would tell me every day that it was ugly and gross, but I knew. " Hello?", I heard a voice call from behind me. I froze in place. It was a strong male voice.
"Hi." , I choked out. I turned myself around to get a better look at him. He was young, but maybe a tad older than me. He was a lot leaner than I imagined most male land walkers looked like. I pictured most of them to be tall, fair skin, golden blonde hair, with bright blue eyes. He was almost the exact opposite. He was tall, but his skin was olive. He had wavy black hair that flopped over his forehead, and small green eyes, with a thin pink smile. I was sorta amazed. He was everything, I never imagined.
" Your are mermaid?" He took a step closer pointing at my tail, he matched my face of confusion.
" Yes."
" Wow." , he sighed in disappointment.
" What the hell is that supposed to mean?"
" I don't know. From a distance, you guys look so magical and beautiful when you are flipping through the water. I never thought you guys were so normal looking, well minus the whole tail thing."
" Sorry to disappoint? Ya know, you're not all fine and mighty yourself." , I shot back.
" Wow, I thought you were much more kinder to?"
" Life is full of disappointments. Times are hard.", I fixed my eyes back to the sea, kicking some water up into the air.
" What's your name?" , he asked after a moment of silence
"Listen, I don't really want to talk to anyone."
" Come on just give me your name? "
" Nope."
" Come on,lovely. All I want is a name."
" Why does it matter so much to you?"
" I don't know. I am a nosey person. Plus for all I know I could be talking to royalty. Is that why you want tell me. Some runaway princess"
" Well you're not. I am just some regular mermaid, who felt like going on a trip."
" Well fantastic. Then telling me your name, shouldn't be so difficult then."
I thought quickly of a name. Something simple and didn't stand out. " My name is Molly Seacord. See all that for nothing?" I looked up at him.
" I think it's beautiful. My name is Eric Rivera." , He sat next to me and just began to talk. At first I was annoyed, but after a while it kinda grew on me. I realized he was talking to me. Not yelling, not ordering me to do something, not belittling me. Just talking. Like I was a normal girl. Not Odine the daughter of Triton of the Kingdom of atlantis. Not Arielle's little sister. Just some mermaid named Molly.
