"Davina! Come here!" My mother ecowaved me.

"What mum?! What do you want this time?!" I replied.

"The fact that you even dare speak to me that way makes me want to send you there even more."

I swam into her royal caveroom and looked her in the eyes with a distasteful look.

"You need to respect yourself because the moment you go up you won't be able to tame him because you have no respect." She spat out nonsensically.

I gave her a little glare.

How does she even know if he's an air breather but I guess she wants to make sure that I carry out the same fate as her, after all, we majorly have an air breather.

"No man wants a none submissive mermaid sweetie. And if you keep on acting this way then he's going to reject you just like they rejected your sis-" She could see my eyes. They were a fiery red that would have made a hole in her chest.

"Never talk about her!"

"Deal with it! She was weak! That's why she died! Just like her father!" She ecoyelled as she slammed her fists on the table.

The table broke and from that the picture of my sister, my old man, and I broke.

It made me happy that she could see the damage she caused and she looked like she wanted to drown herself in tears and that's the only thing she can do to make me happy.

"You're going up tomorrow and you won't be welcomed back until you find him! Go up to your room, pack and then swim to the seatrain station. If you even dare ask for royal guards then you are weak. I'll deal with the arrangements!" She yelled as she rubbed her face frustratedly.

"How the fucking seaturtle am I supposed to bring an air breather here?! They breathe fucking air mum!"

"The moment that you kiss him he'll be able to breathe underwater and he is most likely to know how to swim. You would just be enhancing those skills. You would be living on land until he dies after some years and then you will gain supreme power. After all, you were solely created for that purpose, sadly your sister's mate was a vampire and he was able to tell and rejected he-"

"Shut up. I've heard the part I needed to know." I responded as I swam my way into the upper level room and layed on my queen sized bed.

Yes, I was created just for the purpose of killing my mate because that is how brutal merkind is.

We are even so brutal to ourselves because we can't truly be happy with anyone else but this so called mate that will die immediately after they have two or three children.

I don't want a mate.

I could cope with being lonely forever but the fact that me meeting my mate is going to cause him death and the ones that care about him pain then why would I ever want to meet him?

Everyone ignores this fact and acts like this is a blessing and not torture.

Yes, it may be a blessing for us mer but do they ever think about the person we meet.

They all pretend as if the death of their mates makes them happy because they get to have children and if they really do then I truly have more of a reason to be ashamed of my kind.

Disgusting.

But the sooner I get up there then the further I am away from these disgusting creatures of war, slaughter and death.

All I have to do is never find that mate and then I can stay up there, waste my mother's money, never come back and play with my friend things at my new school.

I've never been to school and I've never had friends but I'd love to know what they can do.

The school I did was a constant study of how to survive on the surface without getting caught because our kind is band from the surface by countless communities.

Who can blame them?

I would do the same if I had a choice.

Mer have to be very careful about revealing themselves because if you were to ever be caught then your mate will surely reject you.

And do you know what rejection is for my kind?!

It causes mental trauma, constant nightmares, the need to constantly hurt yourself and suffer, and the pain just finally becomes too much to the point were you would rather be dead, therefore assuring that we burn in hell.

I got to watch the full show directed, produced, and starring my sister just for free.

Yes, our kind has decided that if you can't make children then you are useless so they made it a normal thing that constantly happened because of a symbol that is engraved to our chests once we turn seventeen.

If I had known that not being able to find your mate was an option then I wouldn't have had to waste my time being a royal warrior.

Did you guess it yet? Yeah, my mom is the sea queen but in my eyes she's more like an Ursela.

My mother told me that the only way for me to avoid having to find a mate was by being a warrior and iscolating yourself.

And that's exactly what I did.

Now I have no social skills apart from being good at sports, shedding the blood of others, war, and most importantly winning.

Maybe my friends and I could bond over that.

But what I mainly have to adjust to is how to blend in.

In the sea, merpeople have tails that are five times stronger than that of a whales and we manage to control it but once we go on land, all that power transfers to our bodies twenty times the power of our tail and since we don't have water to control the weight then we would find it very hard to control our strength and we would run out of stamina in seconds but luckily I've been trained for this my whole life.

Remember, the job of a mermaid is to seduce, decieve, create and destroy.

Disgusting.

I will have to sleep so that I can leave here and finally go on that thing were they use gravity to their benefit to make sure that they don't float as they motion forward on land.

I've done it before but I don't know what it's called.

I'll figure that out when I wake up.

"You didn't even pack!" She ecoyelled as she slammed her palm across my face.

I was sent flying across my room as I slammed into the wall.

Yes, it turns out that I forgot but I have something I can use as a defensive statement.

"Mum, air breathers wear full body clothes and not just royal bikini tops. They would suspect me if I just had a bunch of those things and a seashell brush and phone. Just send air breather money to me when I get there and I'll get a bunch of air breather stuff." I told her as I swam away from her and shut the door.

I swam out of the castle and turbosped towards the seaport.

I don't know why my mother even asked me to come here.

I was forced to learn my way around any ocean and pod since I was six.

I would easily be able to get to Malway ocean.

It would only take three days with the impecibile speed I have. The average would tale nineteen days.

And if I go on my own then I would be able to brush off my mother and she wouldn't be able to track me.

It's her fault for not giving me guards even though I would have just sped away from them.

I got into the correct position and did a whirlwind start as I turbo sped through the ocean.

Now I'm free.

Free from these monsters, free from this place, and free to finally be, well, normal. To be me.
