Anita [REGRET BEING A MERMAID] PARTS 1

PRESENT DAY.

I was surprised when Tracy took me to a huge sea, very huge and deep that noone can swim to the middle without being killed or swallowed by the water.

Tracy: Anita, this is the place.

Me: you mean here.

I said looking all around the place.

Me: how is this place connected to your beauty?

I asked her in total confusion.

Tracy: hahaha. Are you sure you will be able to handle it. Remember, if you are not able to handle this secret you will die!!

Me: haba, I will handle the secret, just show me the secret behind this your beauty and nothing shall I ever asked from you again.

Tracy: ok if you say so.

She said and looked everywhere to ensure that nobody was looking at us. Then she got close to the water and immediately the water touched her, I almost jumped out of my skin.

Me: Je....!!!!!!

I hooked as I remembered my promise of keeping her secret a secret.

Tracy: hahaha.

She laughed. Immediately the water touched her, she changed into a mermaid or mami water as you guys do called it.

Me: I think I want to go home now.

I said as I turned back wanting to run home. She laughed and looked at me with her blue eyes and my legs were fixed in a particular spot, I couldn't move neither could I even turn.

Tracy: you think I will let you go after seeing this? Never!! The whole world will definitely here of it. You are going to follow me now.

She commanded and I began to move towards her. From her waist to her feet were not in human form, it was a long beautiful tail with scales and fins to enable her swim efficiently.

When I got close to her, she held me and dived into the water.

DEEP INSIDE THE SEA

I couldn't breathe well but her own case was totally different. She could breathe and talk under water.

She kept assuring me as she held me tight swimming very fast like a submarine deep down into the sea.

I was out of breathe. She left me as she swam very fast to were some under water plants were growing. She plucked some and swam back to me..

Tracy: eat this!!

She said giving me the underwater plants. I hurriedly took it from her and ate it.

After thirty seconds of eating the plant, my breathe was fully restored and I could also talk and breathe under water.

Me: what did you give me to eat?

I asked horrified.

Tracy: don't be afraid. Those herbs will make you have control under water but it won't last long so you are advised to swim very fast and follow me.

Me: to where?

Tracy: common Anita, you ask too much questions just follow me..

She said. I was not a good swimmer so she held me and the two of us were swimming fast to the unknown place she is taking me to.

At this stage in time, I didn't know if I should be afraid or angry, happy or sad for my life.

Here am I swimming very fast with a mermaid to an unknown place. I was afraid but yet still amazed. Under water feels great. The temperature here was cool and enjoyable with different fishes of different shape, size, colour and species swimming round us.

They weren't afraid of Tracy as she do touch or hold them but my case was different as they were afraid and running away from me..

We continued swimming to the place where she is taking me to.

Me: *in my mind* Oh God deliver me!!

Here is a little biography about myself. My name is Anita, am sixteen years old and am currently living with my mum and dad.

My dad and mum were both rich, very rich and I am their only child. Being their only child did not do well to my behaviour and manners as I was over pampered.

This continued till I was fully grown. Stubbornness was my second name and noone dares to challenge me.

Above all, beauty was a natural gift from God to me. I have been selected the most beautiful girl in my school since the day I started schooling there (ERUDITE PRIMARY AND SECONDARY SCHOOL)

This continued for awhile till I got to ss3 and everything immediately changed.

There was the girl called Tracy. She is the most beautiful girl I have ever seen. Her beauty surpasses everything on earth. It was as if she was the one that created herself.

The whole boys, teachers and even my side chicks turned their attention to her. Noone cares about me again.

It really hurts. How can I cope with this kind of situation. I was regarded as the most beautiful girl in school before and not anymore again since this mysterious girl called Tracy came to my school.

I couldn't eat for days. I hated Tracy so much but hating her won't make her less beautiful or won't add any beauty to me.

I decided to come up with a plan. Yes, why not be her friend and find out her secret behind her mysterious beauty.

Getting her to be my friend wasn't difficult at all. After some persuasion, she decided to show me the way, the way of ultimate beauty.

I was damn happy. I could remember vividly well that I threw a house party that cost me almost 300 hundred dollars .

On the d-day, she took me out saying she is going to show me the way of being extremely beautiful. I so shocked when she brought me to the middle of the sea.

DEEP INSIDE THE BLUE SEA

As the minutes passes by, I was getting more and more scared. If I die here, what's going to happen to me?

What will my family say about this? I am very foolish. I would have discovered that Tracy was a supernatural being. Now wonder her beauty was not human.

I would have think things through before following her. I would have neglected her in the first place. I would have turn my back against her. What if I being taken to a place to be used as a sacrifice.

Different thoughts filled my head as we swam to an unknown location.

Tracy: we have arrived.

She said and we entered inside a huge house made of pure diamonds. On getting inside the house, I turned pale white because of fear.

Though the house was under water, inside was as dry as my own house on land. Not only that, they were many mermaids inside house.

This time, their tails have vanished. I looked at Tracy, her tail has also vanished leaving her with two legs like me. She left me and went to meet her other mermaid friends.

It was then I realised the mistake I have done. All because of BEAUTY
