Two men were thrashing around the house to find somebody. One of them was Damon's stepfather, Ethan.
"Where is that bastard hiding now?" The man growled as he tore through Damon's room.
"I don't know but I think we'll find him somehow." Another male voice said. The voice belonged to Zeke, Damon's stepbrother.
Ethan and Zeke were very abusive towards Damon. Ethan would often beat Damon whenever he was drunk or his stepson made even the tiniest of mistakes. Zane can be physically abusive towards Damon as well, though he specialized more in verbal abuse and making sure Damon's self esteem was near zero after any beating.
The years of this horrible cycle broke Damon and it was why he ran away from his home. The two were about to call the police to report on the missing status of Damon, not mentioning their terrible behavior towards him, when they both heard the front door open.
Expecting to see Damon, the two were shocked when they saw a woman with light green skin, dark green hair, and forest green tentacles where her legs should've been.
"Who are you, bitch?" Zeke growled as he cracked his knuckles.
"Easy now, big guy." Alora said calmly. "I came to help. You two heard of a man named Damon?"
"You better explain yourself, whore! Where is that boy?" Ethan said as he was about to lay a punch on Alora.
One of her tentacles soon wrapped around Ethan's arm and another groped Ethan's dark green pants where his penis was located. The bulking man yelped as his manhood was compromised.
"Careful now, huge guy. One wrong move and I could make you and your son lay on the floor. But I'm not here to do that, I came to help you two, specifically in finding Damon."
"Okay…" Ethan gulped. "Where is Damon? What did you do to him?"
Alora grinned, stroking a finger on Ethan's shirt and feeling his muscular upper body. "I turned Damon into a merman under a contract. But after three days, I got him under my control as a polyp. Now I offer you and your son a challenge. If you pass it, you'll both get Damon all to yourselves."
"Yeah, yeah. What's the challenge, squid lady?" Zeke said before he suddenly found himself also having his manhood groped hard by a tentacle through his dark blue shorts.
"I wouldn't insult a witch if I were you, dirt treader." Alora growled. "So here's the deal. If you two can last being mermen for three days, I'll let Damon be a polyp forever and you two can do whatever you want from him."
Zeke chuckled. "It won't be hard. Just be Ariel the mermaid for three days and-"
"I wasn't done. If you two both die before the three days are up. Damon will be free and be back to a merman forever. This may not sound hard to you two but it is harder than it looks. From what I can gather, it seems your barbarian attitudes could get you two in serious trouble with a shark or a human that nets you. The sea is quite dangerous and you two would make for good large meaty snacks."
Ethan gritted his teeth. "Why, you… Why would we ever risk our lives for that?!" He spat.
"If you guys won't accept, then I'll just leave and have Damon all to myself. Of course, that means you can never get your hands on him ever again."
Alora then brings out a contract and pens for the two men. "So, what do you two say? Do you accept my challenge? If you win, you can beat Damon as a polyp forever."
Ethan and Zeke thought about it long and hard but their hatred for Damon was too strong and the opportunity to beat up Damon without consequences seemed too good to pass up.
The two eagerly began signing the contract.
Alora smiled. "Good, good. Remember, at any time during this challenge you two can just come to me and apologize to Damon. If you two sincerely promise to change your ways, I'll let you two go out of the contract and Damon will-"
"Never!" Zeke yelled. "This challenge is going to be easy as pie." He said as he finished the last stroke of his name.
"Okay, then. Now, let's get you two changed."
