Well his or rather her mother slept Scarlett formerly Damon swam to near the back of the cave with his half-sister Vicki, Vicki’s girlfriend Jill and now her girlfriend Monica. They sat down in the soft sand their new mermaids’ tails resting in it with ease.
“So what happens now?” inquired Vicki “We are 17 and 18 year olds former humans now mermaids about to head into a society we know nothing about.”
“We will just have to figure it out as we go.” Said Scarlett
“Whatever faces us, it is going to be better then staying on land.” Added Monica “Working dead end jobs with no hope for the future until we get so depressed, we turn to alcohol if we are lucky or drugs if we aren’t.”
“Maybe your mother can help, she is a princess.” Stated Vicki as Monica’s and Jill’s eyes widened.
“Wait…she is a Princess, does that make you a princess as well?” inquired Monica as she pointed at Scarlett
“I don’t think so.” Said Scarlett as she shock her head, her short red hair slashing a bit in the water. “She said she was a wild child so I was born a bastard and my grandfather King of the Atlantic turned me into a human boy and handed me to Dad. My mother was the forced to marry some duke and have his children, only when both died did she come to find me.”
“So you have more siblings.” Stated Jill as Scarlett nodded again.
“I don’t know how many, mom said sisters and at least one brother.” explained Scarlett “And who knows how many cousins, mom said she is the third daughter of the King of the Ocean so I have at least two aunts at least.”
“And any kids they have, so no becoming Queen for you.” Laughed Vicki with a playful laugh at her half-brother.
“God no.” answered Scarlett as she yawned as well. She couldn’t be sure but she would bet that the sun was already up on the surface. “I think we need to get some sleep.”
“Agreed.” confirmed Monica as Scarlett swam toward one of the nearby out covers and lied down in the sand. Strangely it didn’t feel grainy or the like, smiled a bit instead it felt conformable. He or rather she rested in the sand for a moment before she felt his girlfriend lie down right in front of her. “Mind if I join you?”
“Not at all.” Said Scarlett with a smile as the two of them moved ever closer in the soft sand. It was strange, as she moved closer to Monica she swore she could smell Monica’s perfume, it was weak but it was still there. Maybe not all of it had come off while they swam and sharks could smell blood in the water from a great distance away couldn’t they maybe this was part of the change of becoming a mermaid.
“We have a lot to figure out.” Added Scarlett as she began to let sleep take her.
“Yes.” Confirmed Monica “But we have each other.”
“Very true.” Confirmed Scarlett with a smile.
