Keith POV:
It was weird. A mermaid was helping me. A MERMAID!! I couldn't even look at him at first. This was too much, but I needed help. He helped me bandage my leg with my bandana. I stared at his face he entire time. Okay, that sounded really creepy. I decided to look away before he gets some crazy idea of me being a creep.
"Okay, you're all set", he said.
"My name's Lance, what's your name?"
I didn't know what to say. I mean of course I have to say my name but I don't want to get too friendly. He was a mermaid.
"My name is Keith, do you live around here?" I said. I automatically facepalm my self mentally. Of course he lives here- he's a mermaid. He looked at me weirdly. My face turns red. He chuckled.
"I do, but I don't really like it here. I'm actually a prince of this cove," he said. Why would a prince be here? Shouldn't a prince be in the castle helping with plans and attending balls?? He's probably lying- I mean he is a mermaid.
"Im not lying, if that's what you're thinking. After my dad got married to my stepmom, I was hidden away. Her sons- my stepbrothers will be taking my place and one of them will be king," he told me.
Wait, so he is a prince? Is that why he's so gorgeous? My face turns red again. I shake those thoughts aside. His parents are who I need to destroy. But then he'll have no family. Why do I care? It's just a stupid mermaid. With pretty eyes and beautiful tail scales. I keep listening to him.
"The sad thing is they don't treat me like prince. But they have their reasons and I totally understand why," he said.
I frowned. They should be treating a prince like a prince. I look at my watch and stand up. Time to get rest before tomorrow. But I'll come back in a few hours to scope the place again.
"Here, take this. Red suits you.", said Lance as he dropped a red bracelet into my hand. I put it on.
"Hey, Lance, thanks for helping me," I said.
"No problem," he said. He waved and dived into the water.
Something was different about this mermaid, Lance. I thought they were murderers? He actually helped me? I mean he was cute- dammit Keith stop thinking like that.
I opened my hotel room door and plop down on the bed. Finally, time for some sleep.
