Continuation from Day 17.
Junette raised an eyebrow. “You swam?”
The girl nodded and something splashed near the boat.
Junette straightened up on her knees. Her eyes widened again
as the scales she had seen around the girls belly button led to a fish tail
lazily floating at the surface.
The girl giggled and Junette looked up at her eyes, watching
them swirl between fuchsia and teal. “It’s like this is your first time seeing
me.”
“It is,” Junette answered, studying the silver circlet on
the girl’s forehead.
“Oh, Juney,” she smiled sadly at Junette.
Junette blinked. “How do you know my name?”
“You really have forgotten,” the girl said.
*This is where I got to on the 20th. Not very impressive. I finished this little segment today, though.*
“We’ve met before?” Junette asked.
The girl sighed. “I had hopes that they wouldn’t wipe your memories,”
she said.
“Who would do that?”
The girl smiled sadly. “Usually the parents of the girls we
approach.”
Junette’s mind was running through her memories, trying to
see if she remembered her family acting odd.
“They tend to erase all memories associated with us,” the
girl explained. “They want you to forget, and hope by doing that we won’t
approach you again. Most times, the family leaves the area all together and
heads as far away from water as they can.” She giggled. “I’m surprised your
family didn’t do the same.”
“Father is the sheriff,” Junette said.
The girl nodded before she turned around, hearing something
Junette couldn’t.
Junette leaned to the side and searched the water, but it
appeared empty. She looked back to the girl to see she was smiling at her.
“Time to go,” she said and grabbed Junette’s arm, tugging
her over the back of the seat.
“Wait, wait,” Junette tried to pull her arm back. “Go where?”
“Your new home, of course,” the girl laughed and slipped off
the boat, tugging Junette into the water with her.
Junette broke the surface and gasped for breath.
The girl placed her hands on Junette’s face, feeling her treading
water in front of her. “This may tingle,” she said.
“Wait,” Junette grabbed the girl’s wrists as they started
glowing light lavender. She sucked in a breath as warmth spread through her
face and started to travel along her veins. Her body started to tingle as if
goosebumps were spreading up her arms and legs. The light travelled from the
girl’s hands into Junette’s face, following the same path as the warmth. When
it reached her toes, Junette’s body soaked up the light.
The girl took her hands away and swam back a little. She
winced when Junette started screaming. She looked around her, making sure no humans
were in the area.
The glow started to fade and Junette stopped screaming, a
sob coming through her lips as her head drooped. The girl swam forward and
caught her when it looked like she was going to sink.
Junette blinked a few times before lifting her head. “What
happened?” Her voice was rough.
The girl giggled and swept her tail over Junette’s. “Ready
to go home?”
Junette looked down and her eyes widened. She quickly
crossed her arms over her now naked chest before looking even further, to the
violet scales that now covered her fish tail, the same length and width as the
girl’s in front of her.
The girl grabbed Junette’s hand. “Everything will work out,”
she said. “Trust me.”
Junette looked up at her. She searched the swirling eyes and, for a reason she didn’t understand, she nodded.
The girl grinned and turned, diving into the water. She
tugged Junette down into the water with her, interlocking their fingers.
Are you going to continue this? I'd like to keep reading!
