Chapter 2

The chapter is being dedicated to MissAsgardian and seulil2061

As I made my way to the beach, the moon was rising from the west. The water rippled gently against the sand.

 I sank to my knees. “I can't leave you behind,” I spoke to the ocean. 

I glanced around looking for Arno. My face began to heat up as I thought about leaving with Arno. The mist came in leaving me alone with my ocean.

 “Why isn't he here? Did he forget about me?” I thought disappointingly.

 Then, from beyond the mist, I heard a man begin to sing, 

“Tell me something,

 princess,

 are you happy in this modern world 

or do you want more? 

Is it love you are searching for?

 I'm calling. 

In all the good times 

I found you,

 longing for change.

 It's in bad times, 

I miss you.” 

Was that Arno? His voice sounded like heaven calling for a response. 

“Tell me something,

 Prince.

 I'm tired of trying to fill that void.

 Or do I need more? 

It's hard keeping it so hardcore.”

 A tear dribbled down my cheek, 

“I'm calling too.

 It's in good times

 I find myself longing for the sea.

 And in the bad times,

 I'm afraid.” 

I saw the dark shape of a man coming closer in the fog, 

“Jump off the deep end. 

Watch as you dive in. 

We'll never need the ground. 

Crash through the surface,

 where they can't hurt you.

 Go far from the shallow, love.” 

he replied singing softly. 

Strangely, I felt myself being called towards the water. The water flowed over my ankles as I stepped closer to the image.

 “I'll jump off the deep end 

and watch as I dive in. 

I'll never need the ground again.

 Going below the surface where

 they can't find me and

 can’t hurt me now. 

I'll be far from the shallow now.”

 I sang as the fog cleared revealing Arno, but not as a human! 

I gasped, “You're a merman?”

 He nodded, “Come with me, Honeymarin. I can show you love you have never known before. Become my merprincess.”
