Chapter 2: Free Me From the Curse:

Prudence's POV:

PaTtience had her hand out to me. I then took it and brought her closer to me. "PaTtience," I said, "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry." I then hugged my sister. "I was quiTte too afraid to remember. I didn't want to remember. I was quiTte... always running away... We're now together, PaTtience. This time for sue. I'll never leave you alone." I was quiTte crying. "I will... be always... with you now."

"No," says PaTtience. I then realized I was quiTte hugging a corpse that was quiTte eaTten... by those mermaids. "You must not stay hee. You must leave, Prudence."

"PaTtience," I asked.

"You will grow up and be an adult," says PaTtience, "live for my sake. Promise me..."

I lost her again. I then looked and saw the mermaids. They now know I'm not her. They wee quiTte swimming after me. I consideed letting them eat me, but then I decided no! I had to do as she asked. So, I swam away, and they chased after me!
