Chapter 2 – The mermaid's Tale

*** Alison's narrative (voice-over) ***

Once upon a time, in a town haunted by psychopaths, a pretentious Queen Bee found love in the last place she imagined: in her best friend, the mermaid. The whole idea of being in love with the mermaid looked aberrant, abnormal, forbidden, but, it was hopeless to resist...

The Queen Bee fell in love with the mermaid, charmed by her appearance, her purity, her kindness. Believing that fairy tales exist, and, that love can conquer it all, the Queen Bee did the unthinkable, she dropped down her mask of cold evil Queen. And, motivated by love, the Queen Bee decided to be herself, and, put her heart in the hands of the mermaid.

The Queen Bee was expecting to get a happily ever after with the lovely mermaid, Ha ! Such a fool was the Queen Bee back then... such a fool, I was, back then...

Emily's self-talk in her mind. - "What the hell is happening?!"

The brunette is completely absent, the turn of events consumed her thoughts. When Emily comes back to reality, by the corner of her eyes, she glances towards the blonde who's beside her and, a spontaneous smile appears on her lips when she sees how happy Alison looks, staring at the engagement ring...

Emily's self-talk in her mind. - "Is this a prank? Is Alison working with - A on this? And, if she is working with - A, what is the purpose of doing this? Does she want to play with my feelings again? Does she think she can wrap me on her lies and games one more time?!"

Alison.-"Why so serious, Emily?" (The brunette doesn't react, and, it pisses her off, so, she says loudly when she realizes that Emily is not putting attention to what she's saying) « Emily ! »

Emily gets out of her thoughts, and, says when she looks at the blonde. - "Huh?"

They stare at each other in the eyes...

Alison.- "You haven't said a word since you proposed..."

Emily mumbles. - "I... ahmm... you left me speechless..."

Alison laughs with a flirtatious smirk. - "I know... it's good to know that I've such power over you..."

Emily rolls her eyes and, at that moment, the brunette wanted to leave, and, don't be part of this scheme, but, her thoughts of running away from this stopped when the blonde hugs her from the neck, and, says...

Alison. - "You've power over me, too..."

The blonde is being sincere, deep down, Emily knows it, because she can sees it in those blue eyes that are staring at her. Emily loves how Alison is looking at her right now, but, this is too good to be true, that's what Emily's brain is telling her, so, the brunette puts down Alison's arms, breaking the hug, rejecting the love, and, the blonde gulps hard, getting a little hurt by the rejection...
