The mermaids look up and see you, they sat giggling and point before beckoning you to come to them. You move slowly and warily to the edge of the water.
"Come in, the water is nice." They call. They giggle and swish their tails around. You hesitate, sure they are pretty but they could also be trying to eat your flesh. How would you know. The mermaids pout at your hesiation.
"Come closer mortal. Come swim with us." They sing to you. You find yourself moving forward as if drawn by their voices, slowly walking into the water to be with them.
You suddenly come back to yourself as your body begins to feel strange.
You wonder if it's the affect of the water on you or if it's something the mermaids did to you. They giggle and pull you in deeper, they are much stronger than they look.
"Don't be afraid. We aren't going to hurt you, we want to help you!" They insisted.
