Inside the house, Alyssa was having her own problems. She had fallen asleep, but she suddenly woke up when she heard yelling outside. She tried to jump out of bed but her legs felt like jello and she fell to the floor with a thud. She tried to stand but her legs were giving out, bending in a way she had never felt before. She was incredibly scared, wondering why she couldn't stand and then she realized that she was feeling incredibly dry. Then the realization hit her. Had she turned into a mermaid too? She didn't want to look, but she knew she would find out eventually. She rolled off her stomach so she was on her back and sure enough, there it was. She had a pink tail fin instead of legs. Her breasts have also expanded and are now covered by two pink seashells. This was bad, if anything happened to Sarah she sure wasn't gonna be of any help.
She looked up at the door, now that her fin rendered her torso to be her only height, she realized there was no way she could open it. The knob was simply too high. She began to panic, what was she going to do? she needed to get to water but was trapped inside her own room. She put her head into her hands as her tail flapped uncontrollably on the floor, her sympathy for Sarah turned into solid empathy all too fast.
Alyssa was scared, here she was, a mermaid laying in her bedroom floor flopping uselessly. She groaned trying to think of her next move...
She started to get drier as she stayed there on her floor "I need water...." she whispered to herself. She was feeling very dry now, her scales itched and hurt from lack of water she needed and her mouth and throat felt like she swallowed sand. She needed water now!
She glanced around her room and spied a 24oz water bottle on her nightstand, which thankfully wasn't very high.
As quickly as she could she dragged her mermaid body over to the nightstand and reached out and grabbed the bottle. She opened it and drank half of it and poured out the rest all over her upper body as well as her lower body. She rubbed in the water into her scales with her other hand feeling relief.
"Much better..." she breathed.
This wasn't going to last forever though. She had to figure out a way out. She was about to grab her phone but realized she left it down stairs in the kitchen.
She groaned, slapping her tail fin on the floor in agitation. This relief wasn't going to last she had to do something fast.
“How did this happen?” she wondered. “Why am I a mermaid? I didn’t use any ointment.”
