Amber hair swirled around her, a beautiful, enchanting mess. Levi wanted to look away, but it was if his vision was glued to her.

As if part of the ocean itself, she glided over to him, fin moving in synche with the roll of the waves. She was approaching him quickly, he needed to get away. However inside he knew it was pointless. She was one with the sea, anything he could do to swim away would be no match for her.

As expected, she closed in on his pathetic attempts at dog-paddling. Hazel eyes held an intense cruelty that filled him with an unfamiliar dread. He could do nothing as slim arms circled around his neck and dragged him underneath.

Only then did sense come back to him. Levi kicked and screamed, but that only filled his mouth with water. Her grip was vicelike, intent on drowning him it seemed. His vision was getting blurry now, this was it, the end.

Suddenly, he found her mouth on his, and sweet oxygen back in his system. When she parted from him, a smug grin painted her features.

Slowly, he could feel gills form, causing the water to save him, instead of condemn him like earlier. However, Levi barely noticed. Only one thought consumed his mind.

"Mermaid," He growled at the beautiful monster.

She only laughed and laughed as they descended farther into the deep blue sea.
