This is Aqua Marine, she is a mermaid and this is her story:


It was like any other day for Aqua, accept it was her birthday! She was turning 16. Of course all she wanted was an hour infront of the coral reef, (As we call it 'tv'), but no, she was aloud to go to the surface! She had only ever seen paintings, and heard stories. But now she could go! 


But that birthday present was the worst possible thing ever.

When Aqua got to the surface, here was a ship a few feet away (20 or so). Not knowing what it was, she went over to it. Now we all know a mermaid was good luck, so when the people on the ship (Who happened to be pirates, lucky Aqua.) The pirates had seen a tail, and the look- out yelled out 

'Captain! Look MERMAID' 

Aqua went a little closer until she swam into an unseen net. Of course they caught her, and put her into a tank about the size of a twin sized bed. Aqua didn't understand

'Where are you taking me?!' She cried out for an hour, but the Captain just kicked the tank, with a face that was sour.

Aqua waited forever, in reality 3 days, when she began to loose hope, she lost 5 pounds in the time, having being fed  two pieces of stale bread. 


That was 3 months ago, now she is presumed dead, but of course she isn't, at least not yet. All she has left is a flower in her hair, to remember what once was there...




(Okay, that ending was depressing....)
