Anita [REGRET BEING A MERMAID] part 2

We were still under water when a beautiful girl came out and blew a horn. The sound of the horn shook the whole building to its foundation.

I looked at Tracy and observed that she and her friends were standing in a line.

The girls divided themselves into two straight lines. About five girls including Tracy were standing at the left side and five other girls were standing at the right.

In the middle of the girls stood a throne, designed with precious stones and many things.

I was still standing there when a huge mermaid. The size of a big bus swam into the building. Immediately her tail touched the ground, it became two legs.

I looked at her closely and behold, she was the prettiest thing I have ever seen. Her beauty surpasses that of Tracy and the other mermaid girls.

Her human form was normall but her mermaid form was very very big. In her hand was a trident, on her head lay a crown. Her hair was so long that it was touching the ground.

The whole girls bowed down while I stood still, peeing on my body.

She came close to me, her eyes were green unlike the rest mermaids that theirs were blue.

She held my face and looked into my eyes, I felt my whole body shook under her cold touch. She left me, walking to her throne and I bowed down before her.

Wait a minute, I didn't mean to bow. She must have used a dark power over me..

The queen sat down and the girls slowly stood up.

Queen: welcome to our world Anita!

She said and two things got me marveled. One was her voice, they were the most tender and sweetest voice I have heard both in real life and movies and secondly, who told her my name?

Queen: you have been disturbing Tracy my daughter for some time now, seeking to know the mystery behind her beauty. Well I told her to bring you here for you to see things for yourself. I have foreseen your future, you will make a powerful and beautiful mermaid. Take a look at yourself for example, you are very beautiful and yet you haven't been converted to a mermaid. A little touch is all you need and you shall blossom.

I looked at Tracy, she was smiling. I looked at the other beautiful girls, some were smiling while others were looking.

Queen: however, converting you into a mermaid is your choice. We are not going to turn you into a mermaid if you are against it. You have seen things for yourself so far. You have seen how beautiful we are. We can make you beautiful and powerful and yes, you will really like it. We shall make you a god among humans. All you need is to say yes.

This is the opportunity I have been waiting for, not being a mermaid oo. Running out of this place and never coming back.

Me: erm, I am going to think about it..

I said trying to be very wise. Though being very beautiful is my top priority, being a mermaid is the last thing I will do in the next life to come, not even this life.

Queen: very good. Tracy, take her back to the shore. Our meeting is about to start and humans should not be around, only mermaids.

Thank God, thank goodness. Thank Baba God o. Tracy came, gave me the same herbs to eat and in no time, we were swimming back to dry land.

*****************************

DRY LAND

Tracy: make sure you think about it and be wise.

She said immediately we were back to dry land.

Tracy: I have to go now, see you in school tomorrow.

She said and dived back into the water.

I turned round and dashed home with full speed. Never will I come back to his place. Never will I speak to Tracy again. It's all over.

I said running home to meet my parents, my lovely parents!

I ran home with full speed.

*gon gon gon*

I hit the gate of our house with full force.

Abdul: walahi talahi who won break am por ma gate.

Me: abdul open the gate oo.

I shouted. I couldn't believe that I ran home from the huge river Tracy took me to.

Abdul: small madam na you?

He said opening the small gate for me while I dashed inside with speed.

By the way, we do live in Limbe Mile one to be precise and you guys all know that they are many rivers in limbe likewise witches.

Our house, the biggest mansion occupying seven bed room flats excluding guest rooms, two sitting rooms, a big kitchen, superb interior and exterior designs was the best and most beautiful house in our street.

Don't ask me, my dad is a manager in an oil company firm and only God knows how much money he makes in a day.

Outside the gate was decorated with flowers, a large swimming pool for my dad and mum was located inside the compound and another small heart shaped swimming pool was specially made for me.

I stopped on getting to the door, I arranged and straightened my dress before entering inside the house.

Meet my Mum, a beautiful, tender hearted and the most coolest mum in the whole world. Just like me, my mum was damn beautiful. It was from her that I inherited my beauty.

Though she is getting old, her figure eight shape was still intact. Looking at her always made a smile cut across my face because I knew I am looking at the older version of myself.

Another thing you should know is, we don't have any permanent maid in our house. Every morning, they are people who do come and sweep the whole compound, trim the gardens and also clean the swimming pool but before twelve o clock noon, they have all left.

The rest of the job such as cooking is done by mum. The dishes and laundry is done by me and sometimes my mum too.

Mum: Anita!!!!

She called out with her tender and sweet voice.

Me: yes mummy!

Mum: where did you go to?

Me: I went to visit a friend.

I lied, note this, I was the one that went to over to Tracy's house before she took me to that mysterious place so like I said earlier, my family didn't know of my whereabout.

Mum: which friend? Boy or girl?

Me: girl mum.

Mum: what's her name?

Me: there you go again mum. Haven't I answer enough questions already? Please mum as you can see me, I am tired and I seriously need to rest so if you will excuse me, I am going to my room to take my bath and have some sleep.

I shouted as I passed my Jamb mum (always giving me questions to answer).

I got into my little and beautiful room where the whole place is painted pink, my bedsheet is pink, they was pictures of different beautiful model and several posters of the runner ups for the MBGC (most beautiful girl in Cameroon) award since 2008 hanging there on my wall.

I quickly pulled my cloth as I got inside the shower where I had a cold bath.

Then I came out of the bathroom, wore a light cloth and moved straight to my bed. I was very tired and what I needed most right now is sleep, quality sleep!
