Lucy's P.O.V
I woke up the same time as my sisters, not in the mood for curiosity at all. I felt empty inside of me, like I had nothing to do with my life. After that human guy chased me out, I knew that they hated us, and im not bothered to have hope if there were humans that liked us. I swam and ate at the dinning table with everyone else.

It was really silent, awkward...
until father started to talk,
"Girls, I'm giving you the news that the humans have become really selfish. They take our fish and keep them in there world, calling them pets. They even cut of sharks' fins, and throw them back into the ocean for them to die. They take our precious clown fish from their coral, letting them die early. I discussed with the council, and they said they have seen this horable things themselves. They agree to have war with them, we shall kill there innocent friends like they did to us."
w-what?
I slammed the table, knocking my bowl of air bubble food of it.
"What?! There is no way I'm agreeing to this!" I screamed. Father got suspicious and also got of from his chair,
"Why not, darling?"
"Father, they deserve to live longer lives! Sure they killed our friends, but why should we kill them back? You're just going to make things worse!"
"Lucy, I will not allow you to have this opinion! We are enemies of them, and if you protect our enemies, you to will become one!"
What? What type of logic is that?
I swam up to his face and said,
"This is no opinion, father. I have seen a human, and I want to protect him, as well as his species!"
What am I saying? I thought I was already over this.
"Lucy?!! Are you trying to disobey me, the council, the law?"
I clenched my fists and looked down, I could here my sisters get up from there chairs to try stop me. But I will not allow them to hurt the race I wished to become.
"Father, I will say this now, but I am going to protect them. I will protect my wish to become human."
Father looked at me with hurt eyes. He was terrified to see that I was willing to become an enemy. He then finally said the thing I predicted,
"Lucy, as a disgrace to our whole family and people, I banish you from this kingdom and forbid you to ever come back here again. You are no longer under my protection, so that would mean the council soldiers will come after you. I am also going to say this: you are no longer a princess, but a betrayer. You have betrayed us. I cannot, and will not have an enemy in my family. Good bye, I wish you luck."
When I was about to exit the royal gates, he said something I feared the most,
"You are no longer my daughter."
I cried as I opened the gates, Levy-chan hugged me and tried to stop me. Juvia started to cry, and hugged Erza as she had tears in her eyes. The royal gaurds pulled levy away from me, making her scream,
"NO!! LUCY!!! DON'T TAKE LUCY AWAY FROM ME!! SHE'S MY SISTER,MY BEST FRIEND IVE EVER HAD!!"
I hesitated to look at her. She was crying her eyes out, screaming as she punched the guards with her weak tiny hands hopelessly. Tears were just streaming down my face as I could not believe what was happening to me. I quickly swam out of the kingdom so that I could not see anymore of this tragedy. I swam so far until two soldiers caught me by both arms.
"A-are you the Council soldiers?" I asked, terrified. "What are you going to do with me?"
They looked at me with serious faces,
"Just taking you to the magical mermaids as we turn you into an enemy."
H-huh?
They took me into a deep dark cave, and soon reached a silver door. They let go of my arms,
"Go in. We are done here," one of the soldiers said as they both left me in the dark mysterious cave. I knocked on the door.
"There's no need to be polite, come in," said a calm voice.
I opened the door and slowly went in. I closed the door shut behind me and saw the beautiful magical mermaid In front of me.
She had blue shimmering hair with a blue tail to match with it. She had a dark blue top on with golden bangles on her arms. She also had a blue pot in her hand. She pointed to a grey stage like thing.
"Get on it," she ordered. I flinched as I reluctantly went on the stage, scared of what it'll do to me.
"... If I may ask, why is there only one of you..? Are they no other magical mermaids?"
"That is none of your concern. Now I shall tell you want I'm going to do to you. I'm going to make you an official enemy by changing your body. You will become human, and you will not be able to breath in water again. You probably will never see you fellow friends ever in your life."
I was shocked on what she just said. Turn me human? The wish I've been dreaming of? But I won't be able to see my sisters again, or even Levy-chan...
I bowed while my whole body was shaking,
"Y-your highness... Can you please give mercy on me?"
"... I have to turn you human, for you have gone against the law I have created.but I shall give you human clothes on the shore, and I will make you able to at least walk."
I smiled with a bit of hope,
"Oh, thank you!"
The magical mermaid paused as to see my surprised actions, and continued to put a spell on me:
"Fieri potest, ut corpus meum converteret hostium.
Sit converteret reformabit corpus novae corpus luce refulget.
Parum luceat oh unum, ut numquam ad secreta.
Sed animo forti et amorem vestrum."
A bright blue light shone from the stage under me. My tail started to hurt and my neck felt like it got tighter each second. I clenched my fist as the pain grew larger, and tried to scream. I had to stop screaming for I was losing breath, and my tail became legs.
"You have 30 seconds before you run out of breath completely, go now!"
I nodded and swam out of the cave. I saw the secret tunnel I always have gone to, and swam as quick as I could.
' just have to reach the surface of the water and I'll survive
I reached my hand out to touch the shore and barely made it. As I was breathing for air, I saw the 'human' clothes that mermaid told me about.
"Ah! She really kept her promise!" I shouted with joy as I tried to figure out how to put it on. "There, I think I found out how these clothes work".
I was wearing a pink dress with yellow flower patters on it. There was a lot of sand on the surface too, and even things what humans call 'trees'. I got up and tried to walk and ya, the mermaid also kept her promise about that. I saw a pebble road that led to somewhere else, and so I decided to follow it. While I was waking, I got a bit dizzy and had trouble breathing. I guess adapting takes quite some time,Huh?
I reached at the end of the road and found more roads, though they were a lot smoother. There where strange vehicles like chariots that moved on the streets, and people were In it. In fact people were everywhere! They were on the side of the roads, crossing roads, and even in houses! There were an awful lot of houses! I looked around and saw a castle.
Maybe I should go there first to discuss with the head of the place.
I was about to walk until I got dizzy and tripped over. A boy, though, had saved me from the fall.
"Are you you okay, miss?"
I looked up and saw pink hair...

He looked at me and recognized me.
