The cry of a young woman woke him up, he has been sad all along, he took wine to forget his sorrows and slept off. When he opened his eyes and saw a woman sitting on the sand with her hands on the floor, it was like the light of the moon covered her alone, he stood up and went towards her.
As soon as he got to her she fainted, he panicked, she was naked. He quickly removed his jacket and covered her carried her in his arms and placed her in his car. Off to the hospital they went, as soon as they got there, some tests were run on her. Her vitals and skin was checked, she was normal, the doctors deduced that she passed out due to stress. They reported to the man. "There's nothing wrong with her! She's totally fine, she just needs some rest!" The doctor said but Albert wasn't convinced.
"I need you to double check if she wasn't raped or something!" He said and thought to himself "If it was just stress like he said then why did she scream like that" The doctor shook his head and held his shoulder to reassure him "Just take her home to rest Albert. Even as we speak, she's a virgin, she has had no sexual contact, By the way, who is she?" Albert shrugged and went straight to her ward where she was sleeping Peacefully.
The doctor followed him and kept talking behind him, "we also deduced that she probably got lost from a sinking ship and swam for too long to reach the surface, that explains her extremely cold temperature and softened wrinkled palms! Wait for her to wake up then you can go once she's awake" he explained, but the stranger human voice sounds woke her up and made her hair stand at it's end, the voice didn't sound like her human's voice. Albert walked slowly towards her in order not to scare her and chase her away. "Calm down, I'm here to take you to my house, I found you on the shore, we need to go to my house or do you have any family around here?"
Marina couldn't speak, she was dumbstruck at the sight of Albert, she shook her head meaning she had none, "Hi?? Are you still in there?" Albert waved his hand across her face to bring her back to normal and she obediently sat up as she then looked around and felt the bed she slept on, it looked strange to her but Albert explained that it was the hospital, her legs touched the ground as she stood and tried to walk but then she wobbled and fell on her knees, she began to crawl towards the door, but Albert caught up with her and carried her in his arms again "you should have just told me, your legs are weak!"
They got in the car and marina slept off . This was the first time she would sleep, she slept so soundly that she didn't wake up throughout the ride. Albert carried her and took her to his room like a baby, His mother thought she was one of the numerous women he brought home, but she looks too innocent for him. Albert sat next to her and stared at her face and touched her soft long hair, marina smiled in her sleep, Albert saw this and fell for her immediately, her smile was the purest ever.
The next day, Marina got up from bed and looked around her, it was like she was in the ocean again, aquariums and sea wallpapers everywhere, even the 3D tiles, she was scared of dropping from the floating bed, she looked down and it was like the bed was on in the middle of the ocean. All the creatures in the aquarium had been watching her since she was brought in by Albert, marina loved the fishes, she knew their names merely looking at them, "Tito, how did you get here?" She asked but the fish just popped bubbles, she giggled and nodded "you were caught right?" She asked and the fish mind linked her "master Albert is the best ever, he loves us and feeds us well, he even plays with us and tells us his inner secrets, and troubles, he doesn't have a wife, no woman loves him, they just want his money and most of them freak out when they get here, thinking he's a wierdo" Tito's mate gossiped
"Nina? What have I told you about gossiping? The fish scolded it's mate and turned to marina trying to bow in apologize "Don't be annoyed your highness, make me your friend I'm the fastest swimmer of them all" Tito said proudly, then Nina swam forward, "you are so full of yourself Tito, my princess make me your friend, we are both females and I'm the prettiest of them all." Marina laughed as she watched them compete, then a little goldfish swam forward and said "I'm the wisest of them all" Then the other fishes turned to face little Bibo and angrily scolded him causing the water in the aquarium to get disturbed, Marina calmed them down "you are all my friends, no competition please"she smiled and the fishes couldn't help but drool over her beautiful smiles.
Albert had been watching at the door, he looked suprised but impressed at how fast marina and the fishes bonded, "I thought I was the only human on earth talking to fishes but she communicates as if she understands them, I've found my type of woman" He said as he brought in a tray of fried fishes and bread with a bottle of yoghurt for her. Marina sat up well and realized she was even wearing a short gown, she wasn't used to it, she swam around naked all her life, getting covered wasn't much of her thing.
She was shy and blushing when she heard Albert speak "I caught you talking to the fishes, they seem to like you better than me, are you a fish woman? Or a natural" he laughed. And placed the tray on the stool next to the bed and sat next to her. She crawled to the edge and placed her toe to feel the water Albert just walked on but it was hard, she quickly took off her legs with a shocked look on her face, Albert laughed and stood, he held her hand and pulled her up, "it's just the tiles, were you scared you were in the middle of the ocean" he teased "now sit down and eat, I brought your food, crispy fried fish and bread with a fair doze of yogurt? It was fried to my taste, Im sure you will like it, looks tasty" he said and stabbed a fish with a fork and devoured it.
Shock was written all over her face! She began to cry and look around to see the fishes worried face, it was a horror to behold their kind getting devoured as food by Humans in their presence. She covered her face and shifted away "why are you eating my friends? Why are you eating my kind? Are you a bad human?" She spoke to him for the first time, Albert was shocked beyond words, was she seriously crying because he ate a fish," hey it's okay! It's just a fish not human flesh as you can see I'm not a cannibal! Okay hands up! I won't give you fish again." Marina wept harder "Are you going to eat me too?" She asked amidst tears with the cutest puppy eyes. Even if he would, he wouldn't say yes
"Ofcourse not, I won't hurt you, I won't eat you the way you think i would" he said trying to calm the pressing urge to laugh at her question. Her eyebrow twitched at his statement, Albert was surprised at her seriousness and complete innocence and asked "I won't eat you don't worry! How old are you?" Marina played with her long hair as she replied cutely "I'm 75years old!" Albert's face went blank and bursted into laughter! "Seriously? 75 years old?". Marina's face turned serious "Do I look older than 75?" She asked alittle bit annoyed. Mermaids with bad tempers! Albert was certain she was a crazy psycho now, she need an asylum! Lol!
"Are you male or female?" She asked Albert, he paused and saw how critical her condition could be "I'm a male" he answered. "You are beautiful!" She said shyly. "No you are beautiful, Im handsome" he corrected and smiled and gave her just bread and yogurt, she ate the bread but the yoghurt tasted funny and spat it out, I need water." She cried as the taste burned her tongue, the tears on her face began to solidify into diamonds, Albert's eyes widened in shock!
