A tail slowed down, a back fin folding with nervous shivers. “I don’t like this.” Alon had to halt. He looked back, and indeed, Matthew had stopped swimming. To be honest, he could not blame him. His silver eyes narrowed with sorrow and doubt, seeing the dread in his hazel…
It was pure chaos. Everything was loud. Jason stared poker-faced, watching while the whole town gathered at the docks. His eyes narrowed, frowning at how everyone was busy grabbing nets and getting into their boats. All were set on catching the huge swarms of fish that roamed by the cay’s…
Everything was wrong; all her home was messed up. The mermaid let out a disgusted sound, kicking her tail, pushing more disgusting seaweed off herself. The mass had been in the dark, in the deepest waters, where light did not touch; somewhere where even she rarely submerged. But now, in…
