You don’t know how long you have been slept, hours days or longer but even as your eyes began to open again you wanted to close them and go back to sleep. Your whole body felt like it had been through some of the worst two a day practices you ever had to experience back in high school. Still, you force your eyes back open.
That wall looked off, where this place was and what happened.
You sit up, extra weight on your head as you raised a hand to your head to cradle it.
“Ah…. good morning, please remain calm” came a voice you hadn’t heard before as you look toward the source to see a woman, well a mermaid floating by the door. She looked at your age with a rich brown hair cut into a short pixie cut with some kind of vest or maybe corset was the best word covering her breasts. A yellow tail moved back and forth below her waist.
“A Mermaid….” You responded, your own voice sounding strange to you as you look down to see a pair of large breasts now grace your chest, that weight you felt on your head well that was your now much longer hair and your legs where gone, replaced with a tail of deep rich purple.
You freeze your eyes locked on what happened to your body, was this a nightmare or the most wonderful dream?
“Yes…a mermaid.” explained the mermaid “My name is Mel and I what you would call a nurse, I help those who have just transitioned to the sea adjust to their new life. Now what do you remember?”
“I…I remember Alex we had this amazing day, best day I ever had truth be told.” You explained “Then….”
“You went for a swim and you were pulled into a shell and transformed.” Explained Mel “That is part of the process of the transition, now welcome to your new home and your new community.”
“But…my life back….” you started
“I am afraid that is gone.” Reassured Mel as she sat on the bed and handed you a mug, it was hot and seamed to have some kind of liquid which considering you where under water seamed strange by itself.
You took a drink; it was warm and good and soon you were drinking it all.
“Your body went through a major change; you will need to replace some energy for sure.” Explained Mel as she poured another from a larger container. “This is basically our version of orange juice; it’s a type of algae. You will find all our “drinks” are based off algae and our food is beside sea food of course is coral and the like. Now finish this and we will get you to the bathroom, that will be an interesting talk. I will also get your bust size so I can pick up some cloths for you so you don't swim around in the nude.”
And so it was as after a while you return to the bed and look at Mel.
“So what happens to me?” you inquire, you where still getting used to your new body, everything just felt weird.
“Well you will need another day or so before you can swim any great distance, then you start making your new life here.” Explained Mel
“My life with Alex? I remember him saying I was to be his mate?” you inquire
“If that is what you want, by law since the magic picked the two of you to come together you are required to live and date him for three months. After that however you are free to leave him and find another mate among us if that is your wish.” Explained Mel “He is outside waiting to talk to you? Shall I call him?”
“Yes.” You say
“And whom should I say is calling him?” inquired Mel
