Y/n's POV
•••
My head continues to pound.
Heartbeats all over except in the one place it should be.
The clear blur mix of blue and grey surrounds me as I continue to fall.
Where am I falling to?
The pain grows stronger once the falling stops.
"Are you alright?" An echoing, raspy voice shouts.
I cannot answer.
If only I can remember how to speak.
The blue and grey colours drain from my sight.. pitch black.
•••
"Finally!"
I jump up at the sudden holler.
"Wha-" I manage to slip out.
"Sorry, you just- you fell pretty hard back there."
I look up from the wet sand.
A man.. fit in all the right places. Dark, wet hair that the water swayed behind.
My eyes glance down and I notice something was different. He didn't have legs.. but a tail.
Here comes the pain again. The feeling of dizziness.
"Who are- what are- huh?" I shot him an angrily confused expression.
"The name's Shawn. Prince of The Shallow Waters Kingdom." He holds his scaley hand out for me to greet him.. but I hesitate and hold back.
"I-I don't remember who I am." I mumble.
"We'll that's not necessarily a bad thing. You can be whoever you want to be now."
I arch my brows.
"What do you mean by that?"
He shoots me a bright smirk.
"Look here, Shawn, or whatever yo-"
I interrupt myself with a loud scream from scare as I toppled to the floor.
Not a normal floor..
It hit me.. it all hit me.
I'm at the bottom of the ocean.
My spinning confusion takes over my body and attempts to choke me to death.
"So- human girl.. in order to keep you alive, I had to.. well, make a few adjustments." He said shyly nervous. His fingertips pushing together and then pulling apart.
I look down again and notice I have a tail too.
"Oh- no no please. I can't live like this! I had a life!" I shout at him as I try to regain awareness of just about.. anything.
"Wait-" I begin, "this is all just some dream.. some very.. scary.. and- uh.. and real feeling dream."
It feels as if my spirit has just left my cold body.
"Hey-" he says.
I look into his gaze as a tear falls from my eye and out into the salty water..
"I'll take good care of you."
"Why do you care?" I ask him.
"Because.. I feel like you fell here for a reason.. for me."
