“SARA!” I heard my father scream his fast steps coming down the corridor close to my room I quickly jumped up tidying up things from where Lynn was here last night as well as all my shells so he woudln't see I had been getting them and sitting back in my bed pretending to be asleep “SARA!” He yells opening my door
“Hummm?” I ask sitting up and streching “What is it daddy?” I ask sweetly and innocently
“Dont' you play innocent with me Sara!” He yelled “I know you've had that boy in here, that Lynn boy up here in the castle!” he yells
“No I didn't” I answer
“I know you did both the butler and the maid saw you sneak him in though the garden gate and him creep out the kitchen door hours later” He explained
“What happened you tell me night now!” He ordered
“Nothing we just went to the library” I tell him getting out of bed properly
“They told me he was in your room, What where you to doing?” he screamed
“Nothing just reading thats all” I tell him
“There has also been Mrs Winters Box of salt gone missing?” he asked “that have anything to do with you?” He asked
“No” I answer quickly he tugged up the covers on my bed throwing them to the floor revealing my empty bed, he flicked up the sheet a little looking under my bed, he marched over to my wardroe opening each door he found nothing of course
“Daddy, if ou heard the maid and butler say they saw him leave what are you looking for?” I ask trying to be smart
“I like to check Sara” he says going into my bathroom “what is this doing here?” He asked holding the box of salt I stole from the kitchens
“I read in one of my books that a spoonful of salt would help with a upset stomach” I lie
“that so, alright but” He began “Sara, I see that boy within ten feet of you again I will personaly see to it his head is rather suddenly disconectted from his shoulders, are we clear ?” he says
“Yes daddy” I answer
“You are not to see him again sara” he warned me marching out my room so I sighed getting dressed and rushing down to the kitchen but the door was locked
“Mrs Winters Let me in Please” I ask her
“Sorry Miss Sara, your father says I can't” she answers
“But I want some breakfast” I complain
“I will deliver it to the dinning room in a few minuets Miss sara” she answers so I sigh going down the corridor trying to get down into my little garden the door was unlocked but when I got in I noticed the gate was bloted and had a huge padlock on it so it couldn't be opened
“UGHHH COME ON!” I complain so I sighed going up to my room getting all my blankets and pillow cases tieing them together I locked up my door and threw the bundle out the window it just about reaching the floor so I tied it to my bed post grabbing my littls shell bag and throwing it over my shoulder starting to climb out my window and down my little intention once I had my feet on the floor I tugged the whole thing behind the drain pipe “I know this castle to well for you to ever trap me in it daddy” I smirk before running down to the beach I found the little boat and quickly cast off rowing out far away from the beach the sea was a lot rougher today I was worried I was going to either have not traveled far enough or maybe even to far I rowed the same amout of times as I did yesterday to get to Lynn's house so I stopped throwing the little anchor bag into the water I did my best to stay steady it very hard given the rough waves on the sea but it was a few minuets and Lynn didn't turn up maybe I was in the wrong place or something there is no point yelling he said yesterday that wouldn't work, maybe If I dove in I could find his little house it can't be too deep if the bag broke though his window yesterday so I put my bag on properly and stood trying to get my balance I was about to jump but a big wave knocked me over into the cold salty water I quickly surfaced to get a better gulp of air and diving down into the dark water I could see nothing but kept a hand on the rope for the bag to try and reach the bottom as soon as my feet it the strange sand and rocks at the bottom I looked around nothing just darkness in every direction maybe I had gone to far? Or not far enough? I let go of the rope to try and go in one little direction trying to walk under the water even if most of my body was just trying to float up or along with the currents I knew I was running out of air fast so I tried to resurface but I was stuck I turned and my dress had caught on a rock I tried wripping it away starting to panic as I knew I was close to running out of air and I was stuck down here if I coudln't move but no matter how hard I tried I couldn't get it to come off I shut my eyes trying to use all my strengh to pull myself away when I suddenly felt my feet lift from the sea floor and next thing I knew I was out of the water my body on a cold rock the waves crashing hard close but as I could hear the sounds of them attcking the rocks the spray lightly hitting my face took a deep breath and opened my eyes
“You crazy girl what the bloody hell where you doing?” a man asked me it wasn't lynn he had strong arms and jet black hair stoking yet he looked about the same age as Lynn maybe a little younger his tail still in the water but it was clearly red and black fade form one to the other like how lynn's was blue to purple
“Sorry I was looking for someone” I answer sitting up
“For who? Who where you looking for a the bottom of the ocean?” he asks
“My friend” I answer “he's one of your kind he lives not far from here” I tell him
“So you know what I am?” he asked
“Yeah I can see the tail, I'm not stupid” I laugh
“He lives around here does he? Why where you looking for him?” He asks
“I need to see him” I answer “His names Lynn, he lives not to far from the beach” I answer
“Lynn? Skinny boy? Fairly tall? Blue and purple tail?” he asks and I nod
“haven't seen him today, Ohh sorry I'm Mikey I live just little way from Lynn you like I can put you back in your boat and go see if he's home for you?” he asked
“Thank you” I smile “But I can get back to my boat myself” I add
“really? In this weather? No no miss I insit I will take you back” He says offering his hand so I sighed taking it letting him slowly take me across “You know, I've never seen a human hold there breath so long under the water” He laughs
“yeah I was always really good at it” I smile as we got back to my little boat so I climbed in
“Miss Uhh?” he asked
“Sara” I smile
“Well miss sara, can I ask a personaly quiestion?” he asked
“I supose” I sigh
“have you and Lynn... ever Kissed?” he asked
“How is that your business?” I ask
“You do know what happens when merpeople kiss humans right?” he asked and I shake my head “He's not told you?” he asked
“Why dont you-” I began
“I can't I'm sorry, he should be the one to tell you” he says driving down under the water so I sat for a minuet confused, what happens when a merperson kisses a human? Lynn has always given me little kisses on my head, my hands, my cheeks... never my mouth though? Maybe thats important or something
“Oh my god, sara I'm so sorry, I should have been there to help you, I'm so, but what where you doing to crazy girl you could have gotten yourself killed” Lynn told me holding my hand tightly “I'm so sorry Princess” he told me
“It's okay, I was trying to look for you” I smile giving his head a kiss
“Why where you looking for me?” he asks
“I just wanted to visit you” I smile
“Awww thats so sweet” I heard mikey say beside us
“Mikey, can you uhh go away” he told him
“Fine, but I may watch from afar” he syas before he swam away
“he's strange” I laugh
“Yeah...he is, but why did you want to come visit me sara, is something the matter?” he asks
“Uhh can we go somewhere a little more privet?” I ask
“Uhh sure” he smiles “But I'm not sure if your boat will fit properly” He began
“Okay” I smile jumping into the water with him
“Okay, come on then Princess” he smiles holding my hand and tugging me along with him as we swam together till we stopped close to some rocks “okay, hold your breath” He told me so I took a big air gulp and he gave my head a kiss and tugged me under the water with him it was fun to he dragged under the water with a merman its cool to watch his tail as he swam until we came back up so I quickly breath we where in a cave with a nice pool and even a opening to see the sky
“what is this place?” I ask him
“a little secret place” he smiles sitting on the edge of the pool we came up though “So... you going to tell me now?” he asks
“Okay” I smile sititng with him “the staff told my daddy about you visiting last night” I began “locked up the house I had to sneak out my window to come see you, he said I am never allowed to see you again” I explain
“Ohhh I'm so sorry Sara” he says holding me tightly
“Lynn! Your making me all wet” I complain
“Oh sorry!” he sighs “So... I guess I can't see you anymore” he sighed
“Lynn I'm not abandoning you” I smile “I could never abandon you, we just have to be more sneaky” I giggle
“Really? Even with your father being so rough on it you... still want to see me?” he asks
“Of course I do Lynn” I smile resting my head on his shoulder and snuggling him closer to me “Your my boyfreind” I giggle
“I- I didn't know I was your boyfreind” he stuttered blushing hard his whole face turning almost a bright red
“Are you not?” I ask “did you no want to be?” I ask
“No no no of course I want to!” He says holding my hands “I just didn't know you wanted me to be” he smiles holding me closer “Uhh I'm dating a princess” He laughed
“Lynn...shut up” I tell him
“Okay sorry, what time do you want to go back home?” he asks
“I don't, I wanna stay out here with you tonight” I tell him
“Sara... I would love you to stay out here with me but you can't come down to my place you wouldn't be able to breath, and we can't stay here I mean your a princess I can't make you sleep out on the rocks” he says
“why not, so long as I get to snuggle with you” I smile
“You would really want to stay out here with me?” he asks and I nod
“Just for tonight” I giggle
“Well...okay” He smiles giving my head a little kiss.
