My eyes snapped open. An audible gasp bounced around my bedroom. I dashed from the bed. The sheet tangled around my feet and I landed on my face. A, "Fuck," was torn from my lips. Regardless, the pain was forgotten at the memory of the dream.
What the fuck was that?
My eyes scanned the darkroom. Even though I was no longer in a dream, I was drowning in fear.
A sigh left my lips at the realization.
I scrubbed my palm over my face, getting rid of the panic. Once my heart calmed, I flicked the sheet off and went for a shower.
Unlike the other nights, tonight I woke without a headache. However, the terror I had experienced was still on my mind. The mermaid could not be forgotten.

Merfolks and land people had similarities. Yet, they were different all the same. Merfolks could manipulate their outer structure to adapt to their surroundings. Therefore, we could appear as land people in their world. However, land people could not do the same in ours. Our respiratory systems were also different. Though land people could survive minutes underwater by holding their breaths, they could not outdo merfolks, who could go days out of the ocean water.According to human biology, merfolks were the superior species. We didn't destroy our home and endanger other species. Even though we could be considered predators, we didn't start wars with other species or hunt them for fun.Let me not even mention our coupling organs, or what this biology book called sex organs. Land people had no shield or covering for their coupling organs. How insane

He was indeed a great leader. With a bad attitude. It could be something he inherited from being on land for so long."We used to think the rules were ridiculous," Alex went on. "There were so many, and every one of them involved not being around Shelliot or Mrs. Brown. Sophie and I used to make fun of him. Marv often got upset when we broke the rules. He still obsesses over those rules. But, there was always a new one every day. We couldn't breathe."Right. Rules were always overbearing. But, as my father once taught me, for a kingdom to run smoothly rules had to be implemented. Rules helped to keep order, peace. If there was none, then we all would be chaotic and disoriented. And, land people did need order more than any other species.I turned to Alex. "Is that why he was upset yesterday? Becaus

Marine psychology.I was doing two majors in college: Marine Biology and Business. The Business major was studies to prepare me to take over the family business, my Dad's company. Marine Biology was to help me understand marine life. This was my Mom's idea. It was either I learned about it in college or she would have sent me to the ocean to be a 'real' prince.Regardless of the extra push from my parents regarding my education choices, I was an excellent student. Straight A student. Unlike my friends, I had a photographic memory. I could read a passage in the morning and remember it three months later. Mom said it was because of who I was: a part of her mer-family. According to her, mer-folks mentally soaked up anything and everything. Therefore, I had never failed a course before.Never.&nb

When I was not enjoying the privacy of the cave, my next best place to go was Marine Park. Something about this place calmed me. Mom often said it was because of marine life. More days than some I believed her. Other than the fact the animals were annoying, they were great to talk with. They had the weirdest pieces of advice no human would ever think of. All in all, this place was cool-ish.Therefore, whenever I had assignments this place was the first on my trip to gaining an A+. The tranquility and inspiration this place had to offer worked like a charm. I would sit on the cushioned seat across from the displays of sea creatures. Once my book was out, words started flowing. The after effect would be an A+. Well, that was before I stepped foot in Professor Saunder's class.Three minutes into my quiet time and my cell phone rang. With all that was g

Alex flashed me a bright, yet uncertain smile. "GPS."I sat staring at him. Why didn't I think of that? My phone was still on.Son of a bitch!"What'd you want?" I inquired through gritted teeth.Two tiny lines pinched between Little Miss Mermaid's eyebrows. Her pink lips tightened. If it wasn't for Alex staring at my assignment paper, I would have thought she was glaring at me."You got another C?" he asked, avoiding the question.I sighed, and stuffed the papers in my backpack, crushing them in the process."Yeah," I murmured. "That bitch is trying to destroy my life. We had sex once, and she

Rules were implemented for a reason. Sometimes we also disobeyed them. Why? More times breaking them meant freedom, and freedom was what we desired. This was not so with Alex. He wanted to break the rules to help. Yet, no one saw it that way. He and Sophie had been arguing for quite some time. Though their voices were lowered, and they were no longer the cynosure of the room, their body languages said it all. And, by the clenched jaws, and flushed faces, we would be here for a little longer.The prince had left them and went into the tunnel-like structure of the glass place. When I went to peek at him, he was sitting on the floor. He fit in with the beauty of this place. It was as if we were under the ocean. However, if I could remember correctly, the creation called glass protected us from the water. Sea creatures of various kinds were swimming on both sides of the glass and above us. It was magical

Why must you always try to ruin my life?" I tossed my backpack on the countertop in the kitchen.Shelly didn't lift her eyes from the pot of sauce she was stirring on the stove. I slid on a stool around the island."Is this the part where I would say, I don't know what you're talking about?" Her words sounded more of a tease than anything else.I glared at her back. "I'm talking about Alex. You—"She cut off my sentence when she pivoted on her heel with a large wooden spoon held out to me. She came closer to me with, "Taste this."Instead of demanding an answer to my question, I did what she asked and tasted her stupid sauce. A sweet yet tangy flavor spread across my tongue. I nodded and she narr

Sure, if my home was being attacked, my parents would want me to be safe. They would send someone to take care of me. I was healthy and fine. Yet, I had a Guardian with me. All the time. It was infuriating. What was so different about this princess?It took a few minutes before Shelly answered with a, "I don't know why they sent her without protection. It's not the norm. I plan on finding out when I get to the Kingdom."We needed answers. I deserved to know how much trouble this princess was getting my family into."Good," I blew out.Shelly leaned against the sink and observed the ceiling. This was her 'something was up' stance. Whatever it was, I hoped it wasn't too disastrous. If anything, and it was serious, it would give the king another reas
