Maggie looked down into the strange portal which had opened in her bedroom, her face bathed in the blue light coming from the water.
“What the?” she said as some of her long brunette hair fell over her shoulder and touched the water, she pulled back some of the water dripping on her as she did. She could smell the salt filling her nose as she looked back down at the hole.
“That is impossible.” She added to herself as she thought about what to do. In the end she didn’t get a choose as suddenly the portal began to grow, she jumped backwards as 1st the rug and then other items from her room began to fall into the water none of them floated back up but instead kept sinking down toward the coral and sand cover bottom. She got onto the bed a second before it fell into the water taking her with it.
The water was warm but the salt stung as it hit her face and since she had just let out a scream as she went in it flooded her lungs. She kicked upwards heading back toward what remained of her room but as she kicked, she began to feel weird. Thinking it was all the salt water in her lungs she kicked harder but her legs were getting heavy and to make matters worse the portal was shrinking just as fast as it had grown. She was within arms reach when it closed, and she looked upwards at breaking surface water. She had to get air her lungs where burning…. yet suddenly they weren’t burning anymore, she could somehow see much better in the water, she could look through the surface of the water and spot not one not two but three moons overhead, this wasn’t Earth.
“Fear not, Maggie, take a breath.” Said a voice a disembodied voice, she tried to fight it but soon her legs where not moving anymore, and she let out the little air she had left. She expected to die but soon found herself breathing the water.
“Do not fear Maggie.” Said a second disembodied voice “You are the 1st chosen to populate this new world, the 1st Eve of this world as you humans would say but do not worry more are coming, a single couple can’t populate a whole world on their own. More Eves and Adams will be joining you and in time your descendants will populate this ocean world the same way you humans have populated Earth and other species have populated their own worlds.”
“Now to remake you.” Finished the 1st voice as Maggie felt her legs snapped together she looked down to find the flesh around her ankles merging. Her shoes disappeared as well as her jeans, as they did her feet began to lengthen and turn into fins while her legs merged together into a single limb. She knew what she was becoming and couldn’t believe it. Her pink underwear also disintegrated as her flesh merged into a large tail, a slit marked her vigna. Her top also disappeared into the water leaving her bare breasted floating in the water, all around her everything which had fallen in from her bedroom also disappeared. Her hair which had been floating in the water fell down draping over her shoulders as if she was dry land. In fact she didn’t feel wet at all, not in the true sense but she felt like the water was pressing on her kind of like air would.
She looked down at the long flesh colored tail, it was your classic mermaid tail like one would see in the movies. Then it began change again, some small fins grew out of the sides, but not large ones and the end of the tail turned a lime green color while the rest began to shift into a sea green color with patches of darker and lighter greens mixed in. The scales didn’t stop at her waste in a solid line like in the movies instead it mostly stopped there but some patches or single scales went as far up as her lower rib cage.
“My God.” Said Maggie her voice sounded totally normal under the water, as she raised her hands to look at them, they had thin membrane between the lower knuckles making them webbed, she then began to feel her scale covered tail, she felt it as if it was normal skin.
“We have been called that before.” Laughed the 1st voice
“Now go Maggie and spawn the new race of this world, more will be coming very soon.” Stated the second voice as Maggie realized that she could in fact move on her own, she was a mermaid floating in the middle of a strange ocean on a strange world.
