33Hi everyone this is Elizabeth and this is going to be the new rewritten version of Nevaeh's story. I would like to thank TheHoodedSiren for helping make this better hopefully you guys will like it too.
Ever since I can remember, I have been swimming in the ocean. I love the feel of water flowing through my hair, and mostly because water is like —yes, I know it sounds weird— a part of me. You may me wondering, what are you doing in the ocean? Well, the truth is, I'm a mermaid; yes, one of those 'mythical' creatures. Every day, I swim in the reef, explore the waters, and if I encounter some dolphins, I hang out with them. That's pretty much what I do.
Where has been your mother through all of this? Well... I don't think I've ever known my mother, especially because I have always been on my own.
Oh! I haven't introduced myself, haven't I? My name's Nevaeh, and I gave my same that name because it's Heaven spelled backwards —I think it's cute and unique. — I'm 12 years old and —as I said before— I love swimming and chatting with dolphins.
One day, after gathering something to eat as a breakfast, I decided to follow a pod of dolphins towards another place. I caught the sight of three mermaids speaking at the distance. I got a little bit closer to eavesdrop on the conversation. They were speaking about... A merman and. A moon pool? …I wondered what that was and what the moon had to do with it.
They swam away towards what appeared to be mainland, so I decided to follow them, but they speed-swam away and I wasn't able to catch up. I decided to surface and as I did, I began to view my surroundings: there were land people walking along the sand, they seemed happy and then I looked to left and hid myself under a bridge; there were humans around and if I wasn't careful I could've been easily spotted. I wasn't really sure about what to do but I had decided to just stay there until something happened which of course didn't take long…
Next thing I knew was that there were two people jumping from a railing and entering the water.
When they surfaced I realized that they had transformed into merpeople... We freaked out for a moment until we realized we were all the same creature.
I had never been around any other mermaid that I remember and especially not a merman.
The merman spoke first "Did you happen to overhear everything that was just being spoken about?"
I couldn't speak so I just shook my head saying no, I just kept staring at him and I didn't really know why; it wasn't until I realized that I had seen this person, in my dreams!
"I-I'm Nevaeh, but I didn't hear enough to figure out what was going on; is there a place we can get out of sight of humans I don't know how to use my powers." I said shyly at first, but then, something told me I could trust them... And that they'd help me...
"Should we take her to Rita's?" The mermaid asked.
"I think we should." The merman replied. They had told me to follow them towards 'The Grotto' where they told me their names: Zac and Ondina; there, I also met another mermaid whose name was Sirena...
I felt comfortable with them. I felt I was safe at their side... And I didn't know why...
