Damon just lied there in his mother’s arms, his mermaid mother’s arm just looking at what he had become. He was now a she, she was a mermaid with red hair and a red gold tail, he was just in shock.
“It’s alright Scarlett.” Reassured his mother as he tried to process what was happening to him. “Everything will be alright, you can finally be where you belong.”
Damon suddenly felt rage build in him, he was a man, he had a girlfriend who he loves, he had a few good friends and while he disliked his father he had a life. He couldn’t be a mermaid.
With all the force he could muster he pulled away and headed to the surface, being only a few feet of water he reached the surface as his head broke through it with a crash. As he did he noticed that he felt pressure on his head as if he had dunk his head under the water.
“Is something wrong Scarlett?” inquired his mother as her head broke the surface more calmly then his was.
“What the hell? I am a fucking mermaid! YOU TURNED ME INTO A MERMAID!” yelled Damon at the top of his lungs.
“I only returned you to what you really are. You where born a mermaid, Scarlett.” Explained his mother “My father, your grandfather took you away from me and turned you into a boy to hide you from me and get me to marry the Duke. But now you are back to me, back with your family. Your brother and sisters are waiting to meet you, Scarlett.”
“I have a life change me back!” yelled Damon
“Even if I wanted to, I will not, I can’t anyway.” answered his mother “I was almost too late if you weren’t turn back to your real body by midnight on your 18th birthday then you would be stuck as a human male, instead of a mermaid.”
Damon looked at her for a moment, his 18th birthday was the very next day.
“So I still have time, to change back?” stated Damon as his mother shook his head.
“No Scarlett, as a mermaid of royal blood I can turn people into mermaids and merman but I can’t turn mermaids into humans only a merman of royal blood can do that.” Explained his mother “And the nearest merman of Royal blood is your brother and he is a day’s swim away and by the time we get there you will past your 18th birthday and you will be what you really are. Besides Scarlett this is where you belong.”
“MY NAME IS DAMON NOT SCARLETT!” yelled Damon at the top of his lungs.
“Damon!” yelled a voice as Damon and his mother heads turned to look at the beach to see.
