Jane had no other option but to hide under the thick hedge in the drive way until the storm passed. She could tell when she entered that it wasn't dry at all but at least she was completely out of sight from public view. She lay there until the early hours of the morning, crying for her family and even after the rain ceased, she was doing her best to dry her body by flapping her fins as much as she could so it would dry the area. It was 9am and Jane was, dirty, smelly and still in her fish form because water still ran down the pathway under where she lay As if Jane's night was bad enough, an unwelcome menace reappeared. It was none other than the female voice that controlled her the day before.
"Well, well Jane. I am pleased to find you are embracing your mermaid self for once. I saw the whole thing, your plan to show your secret to the family didn't work well"
Jane tried to drown out the voice by screeching loudly but the voice was even more powerful. The voice managed to stop Jane by forcing Jane to cover her mouth with her hands. "Ahh, that's better, remember I can control your body any way I wish. Now onto other matters, it seems to me like your days as hiding as a human are numbered. Jane, it's time to join your mermaid friends in the sea. Let's show off your sexy body a bit whilst we head down".
It was no surprise to her as Jane was suddenly unable to move on her own. The mermaid felt her body pulsate in pain, especially on her wrist where she had worn the bracelet. Her body was hovering off the ground and floated from under the hedge. Jane could do nothing but protest and she watched as her body turned to a vertical angle like yesterday. "NO, PLEASE!" Jane shouted to the voice. This shouting did nothing to stop the voice but it caused her neighbor Frank to glance towards her but only her torso as her tail was hidden . "Jane, what's wrong?" Frank ran across the street at his screaming neighbor who was being forced to strip her red dress. Frank almost fainted when he caught a glimpse of Jane wearing nothing but her huge bra. Upon closer inspection, he noticed her legs were not normal, instead, he found Jane's legs and feet had taken the form of a fish. "Hahaha, you've turned from a boring busty housewife to a freak show in the matter of a few hours, this is amazing" The voice was clearly enjoying her work.
"Frank, HELP ME!" Jane covered as much as she could with her arms but there was no point hiding because her monstrosity was flapping away against her will. Her body started moving and the voice gave out a rather cruel command "Now, I command you to tell the whole world what you really are".
As Jane inched closer and closer towards the sea, her thoughts were filled with happy memories spent as a child and being surrounded by her loving family. The dark times of being a mermaid almost ruined her entire human life. She just wanted to be free of the dreaded curse and she decided there and then she would do whatever it takes to be a proper human again. Right now, she needed to play by the voices rules. Once again, the voice took control, forcing poor Jane to bellow out the words she never wanted to say. Tears poured down her cheeks and more and more people followed her, taking photos on their phones whilst she kept screaming "I'M A MERMAID AND I LOVE IT!"
