Ocean Blue

Ocean Blue

15 year old Marlinia Flotsam was born on the distant island of Jersey (if your thinking New Jersey i'll end you). She's always lived with her older brother, a surfer who often leaves her alone whilst he's out winning whatever he could get his hands on. On the night of her 15th birthday something enchanting happened, whilst on a moonlight walk she came across a boy, half fish half boy. A merboy. The next day she wakes up with no memory of the night before to find if she's exposed to a certain amount of water her legs will become a tail. Struggling to keep her secret and resisting the want to swim away she must avoid water in an island surrounded by it.

A tail

A tail I woke up on the beach. My eyes flickered open to see my brother. I'd recognise that long blond surfer hair cut with beads anywhere. He poked me with a stick.
"Hey sis! Was there a party last night, I found cake!" He grinned. I snapped the stick and punched him the gut.
"Tell me what age am I?" I spat at him. His face went pale.
"I'm 15 now, well there's always next year!" I said sarcastically and stormed off. I ran into the house feeling the best I had in years. I tossed on my deep blue very unrevealing bikini and sprinted to the rock cove. That's when it hit me.
"what the heck happened last night?" I asked myself. I sat on a rock and dipped my legs into a rock pool. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. Suddenly a ripping pain tore through my legs. I let out a gasp and a yelp before my eyes flashed open. I had to bite my lip to stop myself from screaming. Where was once my short legs was now a pale blue and pale green slick tail. I quickly grabbed my phone from my jacket pocket and with shaking hands dial Leo's number. He answered with a groggy husky voice.
"This is Leo....." He answered.
" Oh my god Leo I don't know what happened!" I cried into the phone. Tear started streaming down my cheeks. What happened to me? What cant I remember?
"Marley, calm down! Are you ok?" He asked seriously. I didn't know where to begin.
"I went to the beach last night and I cant remember what happened! Something freaky has happened!" I blabbered, my nerves on edge.
"ok where are you?" He asked.
"The small cove past the bay and hurry quick!" I hung up.
