In The Deep {On Hold}

In The Deep ~3~

I put my P.J's on to the counter, and brought my shampoo over to the tub. While I was waiting for the water to warm up, I locked the door. I couldn't risk Macy or Crystal seeing me, in my mermaid state. Not yet.

I still had to figure out how to even tell them. For sure, it will take time.

The water finally warmed up too a comfortable temperature, and I filled the bath with it. The tub even had jets, but I knew I wasn't going to use them.

I opened up the window before climbing in, so I could here the relaxing ocean waves crashing against the shore. I climbed into the water.

The transformation isn't always immediate, sometimes I can sit and enjoy the water for 30 seconds. Not this time though.

My legs no longer there, just a large Scarlet scale covered tail, with large fins at the bottom and a couple small ones on the side at the bottoms as well. My finger nails now a Scarlet colour, my hair now with Scarlet streaks. Gills now on my neck. My eyes changed to a the same red colour as my tail. No longer looking human, but more like a cats eye.

I washed my self off. After I had finished cleaning myself, I realized the last time I have actually taken a real swim somewhere, is at that party. I don't even know of there are other people out in the world like me, I could be the only living mythical creature.

I had too stop thinking about that, it just made me depressed, being so different from everybody. I mean sure everyone always says 'Everybody is unique' and that is true. But this is more then unique, this is science breaking. Which is freaky, and messed up.

Some people may even try to kill me. Thinking I'm some sort of alien race, that must be destroyed.

I shook my head, getting those thoughts out. My mind shifted to another topic. Damion. He was a super nice guy and all. But I don't even know what he is about. We haven't really got the chance to sit down and talk about each other. But tomorrow we will be able too.

The bathtub was the one place I could be myself and not have to worry about every little thing. Because being a mermaid, is not easy. You have to stay away from water at all times. It's a wonder you can drink it, and have nothing happen.

The only thing I ever think about is, staying away from water. I have other thoughts but I push then to the side.

I thought going on this trip, would be the perfect time to tell them. They can't run away from me if it goes horribly wrong. You could say, I'm worried as hell.

I have my friendship hanging on the line. Well soon. Another thing I have to add to my Not Yet list.

I started to drain the tub. I grabbed my towel really fast, and dried my neck as quick as I could. Otherwise I would die from lack of water. My gills went away, and I went back to breathing from my nose.

I went to drying my tail, so I could walk. After a while I got my legs back. I stood up and dryerd the rest of myself off. I then grabbed my P.J's and changed.

I opened the door, slowly hoping it wouldnt creak. I didn't want to disturb Macy and who ever that guy was. I managed to open the door, quietly. I tip toed over too my room and again, slowly opened the door. This time it creaked the slightest bit. "Did you hear that?" The guy said. I couldn't see them but I knew it was him, obviously he was the only guy in the resort room.

"No. Who cares." Macy said. I then heard silence, accept for the smacking of their lips. I walked into my room, and closed the door. I turned on the light. My room exactly the same. My phone chargin on the night stand next to my bed, my clothes neatly put in my closet. I threw my clothes from the club on the floor.

The window was slightly opened. I could hear the sound of the waves still crashing on the shore line. It was so tempting to just jump in the water out there, and swim away. But I couldn't there still might be people at the beach. Plus Macy would see me leave the room.

I pushed the thought away, grabbing my phone and playing one of my puzzle games. It was always a good way to make me tired. I was stuck on this one level, I couldn't figure it out. I dismissed it with an "Ugh."

I figured I would read my book on my phone. Reading was one of my pleasures. It always made me feel like I was being taken away from the world, and put into an entirely diferent world. It relaxed me.

The book I downloaded before leaving for the trip, was called Openly Straight. It is about a teenaged boy who is gay, but is tired of being seen as the gay kid, and decides to go to an all boys school, and well you know where that is headed.

I read the first page of it. Already intrigued. It seemed like a good book. It had some humour, along with some serious things.

After reading 10 chapters the book hit my face and woke me up from my 2 second sleep. I woke with a gasp, then realizing what had happened. I put the book down on the night table, turned off the light and climbed into bed.

I eventually fell asleep. It was as if the waves outside were carrying me into the land of dreams.

My dream was again different. This time I was underwater. Swimming, with my tail. I was far out from shore, but for some reason I told Macy and Crystal to come in. They dropped what they were doing and ran into the water splashing each other. I dunked my head below.

The cool thing was that I was out far enough that I could swim downwards into the deeper part of the ocean. I got this vibe when I was in the ocean water. It was like I was meant to be there. Like the ocean was put there, for me to be in it. It felt like i finally found the place a belonged in. I wasn't wierd or strange, just me. I just kept swimming down, and down further into the depths of the ocean.

I looked up and saw Macy and Crystals feet move back and forth. As they were treading the water, they were spinning. Probably looking for me. I went to go swim back up to the top. I kept swimming and swimming. I swam for what felt like miles, but never made it back up to the top. The sky became dark, and my friends left me. I was in the ocean alone, with no person to talk too. Not possible for me to get back to the real world.That amazing vibe that I got from the water, became dark, and lonely.
