Die Hard Book

Um das Meervolk vor der Auslöschung zu bewahren, beschloss ich, an Land zu gehen und meinen Sandkastenfreund Cyrus zu verführen, der inzwischen zum Alpha-König aufgestiegen war. Tatsächlich liebte er mich noch immer – drei Tage und drei Nächte verbrachten wir in leidenschaftlicher Ekstase. Kaum war ich aus dem Rausch der Lust erwacht und wollte mich freuen, da übergoss er mich mit ätzender Flüssigkeit. Ich schrie vor Schmerz auf, doch Cyrus lachte nur kalt. „So kann also auch eine unsterbliche Meerjungfrau Schmerzen empfinden?“ „Das ist erst der Anfang. Solange du mir nicht sagst, wo meine Eltern sind, wirst du keinen einzigen ruhigen Tag mehr haben!“ Er war überzeugt, dass das Meervolk für das Verschwinden seiner Eltern verantwortlich war. Von da an musste ich mit ansehen, wie er absichtlich mit seiner Geliebten Emily flirtete; musste die Meerjungfrauen-Perle aus meinem Herzen nehmen, um Emilys Gesundheit zu stärken; musste unter höllischen Schmerzen barfuß tanzen, um Emily in den Schlaf zu wiegen … Er hasste mich bis ins Mark, doch jedes Mal, wenn ich dem Tod nahe war, nahm er mich auch in die Arme und flößte mir Medizin ein. Mal war er grausam: „Glaubst du etwa, ich liebe dich und kann dir deshalb nichts anhaben? Alle quält sie weiter!“ Mal war er sanft: „Sei brav und sag mir – wo sind meine Eltern wirklich?“ Schweigend ertrug ich seine widersprüchliche Liebe. Bald würde ich das Geheimnis über seine Eltern nicht mehr hüten müssen. Denn wenn eine Meerjungfrau drei Jahre an Land bleibt, ohne ins Meer zurückzukehren, wird sie unweigerlich zu Schaum. Bis zu meiner Todesstunde blieben nur noch drei Tage.

Emily, a woman haunted by her past, only wants to do her job and be the best mother possible. But in a world where mortality means nothing, where guns are drawn in fear and nobody seems safe anymore – at what cost will this pursuit come? And through it all, the soon to be dead remain silent, ever smiling. Such is their curse. It won't be long before that snow-speckled ground will be salted by blood. ©️ Crystal Lake Publishing

Kurz vor Drakes Hochzeit mit seiner wahren Gefährtin starb ich. Zehn Tage zuvor war Aeris, seine frühere große Liebe, zurückgekehrt. Obwohl Abtrünnige mich schwer verletzt hatten, ließ Drake mich im Stich und verbrachte die Nacht bei ihr. Am nächsten Tag kam er zurück – nicht um nach mir zu sehen, sondern um mir mitzuteilen: „Ich löse unser Gefährtenband.“ „Ich wurde vergiftet – mit Eisenhut.“ „Schon wieder deine Lügen. Egal – heute verstoße ich dich.“ Er ahnte nicht, dass seine Zurückweisung meinen Tod beschleunigen würde. Ich dachte, ohne mich als Hindernis könnte er endlich glücklich werden. Doch dann geschah das Unerwartete: Er verließ seine Braut noch am Altar, rannte zu meinem Grab und weinte. „Lyra, du bist meine Frau. Ich verbiete dir zu sterben!“
