Captivated

Chapter 1

(Eren's POV)

~ before being captured~

As I laid on my bed, my scaled tail swaying back and forth in a sort of rhythm trance. You think being a mermaid or in this case a merman is all fun and games, well it isn't. Humans get to do everything and go anywhere they want. Us? We stay in the ocean, just the blue ocean; nothing more, nothing less.

Perfect right?

I sigh, as I sneak out of my room and to the hall. I wanted to explore, see the surface; at least one more time before I'm condemned to this hell hole. Since I am an heir to the throne, I am considered of value, thus keeping me confined here... All fun until the next thing you know your marrying some random chick.. I ain't about that life.

I finally make it outside the palace and swim to a small pile of floating rocks on the surface. As I pull myself over the rocks and look up. They sky was a bright baby blue, just like the ocean, only..bigger. There were high puffs of white stained on it, clouds? I think its what is was called. A sudden blast of a horn from a near by ship startled me. I look behind me to see a big brown crusade coming towards me. Quickly sliding back in to the water, crouching behind the rocks underneath, hoping to all gods that they didn't spot me.

"Hey glasses what was that?!", "hang on!" She gruffs back. Hangë was in charge of keeping a look out, but her shitty glasses were doing the opposite, she claims she has a disability, I call bullshit on her part. "Well!?" I demand impatiently for her answer. "It's him! I'll get the net!" she excitedly announces. Searching the seven seas was hard enough as it is, now we got to catch the damn thing.

"Hurry the hell up, before he gets away!" I growl, while I steered the boat to the right so she could reach for the brat and we could leave this filthy ocean.
We soon cornered him and shot the net towards him, trapping him in its grasp. You could hear the struggle he was having between the net, as he just made it to where he was a tangled mess between loose seaweed and muck.

"Did you get him yet?" I asked, I only heard her squeal with excitement as she was jumping up and down. I took it as a yes and turned the ship around. I could heard the scrapes of it's fellow comrades, trying to desperately save their friend. There goes my polished boat..

(Eren's POV)

As I sat for a minute almost mesmerized by the ship, I remember I was running for my life, I steer left to get away, only for the ship to follow me and corner me. I see my pod coming closer as relief rushes over me as I see mikasa, my sister 'maybe I can..-' my thoughts get cut off by a huge net devours me trapping me in its grasps. The more I struggled the more tangled I got in it.

The net pulled me toward the surface. I may have not told you this, but I'm not like most of my pod. My pod consists of only mermaids and mermans, but me? Well I'm a little different, I can shape shift in to anything I want to, I can even switch genders, but that doesn't mean I want to. As I reach the surface, I immediately become short of breath. I stare at my captors and see a squealing brunette girl jumping up and down.

The net hovered me over the ship and drops me to the hardwood floor. I wince and try and sit up. The brunette girl walks over to me, still squealing like a little girl. "Yes, yes i knew it!" She screams. I gave her s threatening look through my seaweed covered face, until someone else gets my attention. He was really short, compared to me at least, he looked fit for his height, as he carried a monotoned expression, his cropped hair moving as the wind blew, his dark heavy boots stopped in front of me, as his gaze glared down.

"This is him? Why do we want him anyways glasses?" He demanded, I stared blankly at him and turned my head to see what the brunette had to say, "well, uhh, hm you know experiments and such..and besides once I'm done, he can be your personal slave" she explained. I was shocked, like hell I'm going to be a slave! "You have a point, as much as it hurts to say that" the raven haired man said. I gulped, I wasn't about to do either of those things. I began to push myself father away from then until they noticed at least. "Oi your not going anywhere!" The raven haired says and walks over to me.

Being scared of what he might do, I start to shape shift. My tail disappears and 4 wings start unfurling from my back. I quickly stand and look at the sky then at the very shocked fishermen. "Do it and I shoot you down" he warned. I give him a sly smirk, as a quick push upwards sends me flying. I'm about 10 feet off the ground, ready to fly off; until I jerk downwards. I look down to see the raven haired man and his crew pulling a chain, that was connected to my ankle. i try to pull away but there was to much force keeping me from flying.

I shut my eyes and keep struggling, unaware that the man has a weapon packed and ready. It wasn't until I heard the gun shot and the horrible pain that cane along with it that I realized. He shot me! I look at my right wing. It had a hole covered in blood with it.
I was to weak to keep even my stance balanced as I leaned to one side. The humans noticed this and jerked me towards the ground. I fell on the ground, again; hitting my head and crushing my wings in the process. The human held my arms and legs down while the raven haired man looked down at me. "A shape shifter, two in one I guess" he says and kneels down to my level.

I struggle, trying hard to get out of their grip. I look at the short man, as he reaches out towars my damaged wing. I trash around and struggle more, until I feel it.
More pain, it gets worse and worse the more i move. "Quit struggling and I'll stop" he says. He was pressing on the damaged wing and it hurt like a bitch. I let out a whimper, I didn't need to talk, I knew they were bound to do something worse later,but why give them the satisfaction of me begging for them to stop. He stepped back as I sighed with relief. "Put him in the basement, and don't fucking underestimate him!" He says as his crew pulls me down to that so called basement.

My wing ached, and I was worried more than ever. My pod haven't even noticed I was missing. 'what am I going to do?'
