*My Baby*
LAND.
Kailani held the little baby mermaid in her
arms as he ran vigorously. She was already
sweaty and her hair was all over her face.
She looks back repeatedly at her attacker as
she runs.
Some men ran after her holding different
weapons. Cutlass, guns and spears in their
various hands. Some women ran after her
with the men chanting different insultive and
cruel words.
"CATCH HER! SHE MUSTN'T ESCAPE!!!"
"WE HAVE TO KILL HER! SHE'S A
MONSTER!!!"
"KILL HER!! KILL THAT WITCH!!!"
Kailani ignored their words and keep running
for her dear life as the little mermaid's voice
she's carrying ranted out.
"I'll save you...just a little more...just a little
more baby" She was almost at the sea...it's
just a little far ahead. A glimmer of hope
shone in her as she increases her pace.
"AGH!!!" She groans out in pain falling to the
ground along with the baby. Blood started
gushing out at her back. She had just been
shot. She held her bleeding back...the little
mermaid wouldn't stop crying also.
"THERE SHE IS! KILL HER!!!" One of the men
shouted angrily. They were already catchingup. And she would be caught in no time. One
of the men aimed the gun at her as he was
about shooting. Kailani with the last strength
in her build a circular barrier around her and
her baby. Immediately the gun was shot at
her, the bullet bounced back to the shooter.
He laid down dead instantly. The women
gasped.
"That witch!!"
"You have to kill her...we'll all be dead if this
continues!"
"Get rid of that monster!!" The women
started crying.
"Let me go...I have no intention hurting any
of you...please let me and my baby go"
Kailani pleaded within trying to calm down
the crying mermaid.
"That cunning witch! How dare she!" One of
the men gritted.
"We have to do something about her!" The
men tries going near the barrier but it blew
them away. They couldn't attack it nor do
anything. But they still won't back off.
"GET THE SHAMAN!!!" One of them shouted.
AN HOUR LATER.
Kailani could feel her strength already
leaving her. Though the little mermaid in
her hand has called down and fell asleep
she could feel she's dying slowly. She getsweaker by the second which made the
barrier weaker also.
"Save me please...Dylan...save me..." She
keeps mumbling.
"My baby...don't worry...I'll protect you...I'll
protect you..."
"LOOK! it's fading...you have to kill her now!"
One of the people shouted. They started
throwing their weapons at the barrier and
each time they do this she gets weaker.
Finally they succeeded in getting rid of the
barrier and happiness grew in them.
"Dylan...this is it"One of the men handed over
a spear to him.
"Kill her and end this village misery" The
man said. Dylan seemed hesitant. He looked
at the half dying kailani. Until some hours
ago that was still his wife...until some hours
ago they were still happily married. His eyes
darted to the mermaid in her arms. Anger
clouded his eyes...hatred joined also.
She had lied to him. She was actually a
monster. There's no way she could have a
monster as a child and daughter. Until some
hours ago he was happy he was gonna
become a father...but then it turned out to
be nothing but just a monster. He birthed a
monster.
Shaking his head, he walked closer to kailani
who kept pleading with her eyes not to hurt
her or her daughter. But Dylan wasn't in hisright state of mind anymore.
"Dylan..." She called slowly.
"At least spare my baby..." She sobs
"Monster....DIE!!!" He roared throwing the
spear at her.
"NO!!!" Kailani put her arms around her baby
to protect it. Just as the spear was about to
hit her...suddenly a great force sent it twirling
and it went back hitting him directly in the
stomach. He coughs out blood immediately
as he went down on his knees right in front
of her. Kailani watched with tears filled
eyes...as the love of her life...her husband
and the father of her baby died...right in front
of her and her baby.
They people gasped loudly as some
creatures appeared out of the sea.
They were like five their leader look so
intimidating they were clearly mermen.
"Mon... MONSTERS!!!"One of the shouted
as they women started fleeing in fear. But
seems that was impossible as the leader
performed a great Hydrokinesis which swept
them all away. They all died without no trace.
DEEP INSIDE THE WATER. (AT A CAVE)
Kailani opened her weary eyes to see Colbert
staring back at her. Colbert was the one
who saved her earlier. They have been best
of friends since childhood and obviously
he had feelings for her. Colbert is the firstprince of king Lyrl. While kailani is the
daughter of the great water warrior. Kailani
had always liked it out on the surface. She
had such a melodious voice which makes
men go crazy so she had always snuck out
of the water to sing and that's how she came
to meet Dylan a common fisherman. He
lives in a small village not far away from the
ocean. Kailani fell at first sight on seeing him
so as Dylan. Since then kailani's greed to live
on land increases.
Colbert came to know of this and became
very angry almost letting the cat out of the
bag but kailani did all she could to calm him
down telling him she won't ever go out to the
surface secretly or meet that human lover of
hers again. Things didn't go as she wanted
she ended up getting married to Colbert via
threat. Colbert believed she had forgotten
about that human but little did he knew
that she was planning on how to escape.
And eventually on the night of their Royal
wedding she did escaped to be with her
human lover. Colbert was more than enraged
and vowed never to see her again. He kept
her escaped a secret making all sorts of
excuses to the mer people who wouldn't
stop demanding for her presence. But things
got out of hand the cat got out of the bag.
Colbert vehemently disagree it isn't true and
he was dared to bring out his wife that's
when he went out of the water and met her
in her misery. The same lover of hers was
holding a spear at her to kill her.
"My...my ba...by" Kailani mutters weakly.
