I dive into the sparkling, clear blue waters and allow myself to be free. Sliding through the surface, I glance at what used to be my feet. My gorgeous, light pink tail has replaced my legs and feet. Beautiful matching scales scatter along my body. I always felt so confident and comfortable in this demi fish form. Although growing up was tough I grew more accustomed to this. Not only can I control it very well, but I've become so comfortable with it.
Growing up I was often called freak, monster, thing, it, ect. I know. Harmless, huh? Imagine being 5. Having your parents abandon you because of your gift. Because your mother had an affair with a demigod. Because she was too afraid to raise the mistake she had made. Well, it's okay. I hardly remember what my mother and "father" even look like. All I know is I have my real fathers deep blue eyes and violet hair. Well, when I'm not in my mermaid form my hair is a dark brown, as is his.
"Alexi!" I hear someone call.
I swim up to the surface and see a figure. Sweat acting as a glue, holding his dark hair onto his forehead. Blue eyes sparkling in the sunlight. A strong, muscular build. That, is my real dad. The man my mom had an affair with. The man who "cursed" her. We look exactly alike. And it's scary how similar we look because we get mistaken as siblings all the time. I had found him after I had turned 8. Well, more-less he found me. My mother had contacted him saying I was gone and that it was his fault. He had tracked me down to the people she had left me with. According to what he's told me he found me locked in a cage in their basement. He started training me to control my abilities.
