Mean Mermaid Novels & Stories

It’s still dark, but dawn is not far off. The mermaids can take six people across at a time. Each mermaid holds the hands of two men to keep them warm in the frigid water. The men use their other hand to grab the fin of a dolphin. With barely a splash, they’re on their way across the bay. I can follow the white wakes made by their passage for maybe a hundred yards before they all disappear into the blackness.

But what really caught her attention was the centre of the tank, where a magical spectacle awaited. In the midst of the vibrant coral and graceful seaweed, the mermaid display was the star attraction. I could see Mackenzie’s gaze fixated, her breath catching in her throat. The mermaid was truly something out of a fairy tale. Its tail shimmering in shades of turquoise and gold, scales glistening as they caught the light. The creature’s long, flowing hair seemed to dance with the gentle currents of the water, and her voice, soft and melodic, filled the space with an ethereal quality that made it feel like we had stepped into another world. Of course, the girl-mermaid was just lip-syncing under

One commented, "I heard mermaids can't stay on land for too long, or they'll dry out and die. How is Luna Annelise doing just fine?" "Because Alpha Silas cultivates moonlight lilies with his own blood. As long as she drinks the extract each month, she'll be fine." "Oh, my gosh! Alpha Silas dotes on her way too much!" Another added, "Exactly. They haven't had an heir all these years, and Alpha Silas isn't anxious at all. He's always the one comforting Luna Annelise, telling her not to rush." "Did you see that massive pool built into the mountainside? It cost millions of dollars! There are natural coral formations, schools of fish, shellfish, and every kind of marine life imaginable. Everythin

That day, the sea was calm and bright above, but beneath the surface, the waters churned with strange, ominous power. Still, I never once experienced the torment I had in my last life. I gave birth swiftly to three healthy, black-finned mer-babies. When the Mer-King heard the news, he was overjoyed. He sent over several more chests of gold and silver and personally hosted a grand banquet in my honor. All the princes and princess-consorts looked at me with undisguised envy.

Shrill cries echoed faintly in my ears, and I prayed to whoever was listening for it to not be what I thought… The closer I got to Emily, the clearer the cries became, and that's when I saw it. The pile of mermaid corpses around Emily's feet. When I got there, she had her hand around the throat of a mermaid, her knife stabbing into their chest with precision, digging out their mermaid pearl and crushing it in one fluid motion. At that moment, I felt like my heart was crushed into pieces as well. Wiping the blood on her hands, she turned to look at me. "Marina, I didn't know that you merfolk had differently-colored pearls. I just want white ones… I hear only royalty has pearls of that color,

The word hung in the air like ash and flame. "Most of our records conflate the Siren with the Mermaid," the scientist continued, his tone clinical and detached. "It is a common error of the uninitiated. To understand the difference, one must look at the natural world. Think of the Mermaid as an alligator - a localized predator, efficient but limited. The Siren, however, is the saltwater crocodile. Larger, more aggressive, and possessing an impossible strength and kinetic energy that transcends the aquatic domain. While Mermaids lure to drown, Sirens command the very frequency of the original night."

Their eyes were red, and their hands were long and sharply clawed. When viewed from above, they appear as if they were mermaids. The only notable difference was their having webbed feet like frogs. " Those are commonly referred to as "Shokoy" " I was shocked when I heard Hugo had said. "A mermaid is the exact opposite of a shokoy. Mermaids are exactly what they are called: mermen." I was told by Olivia. " The truth is that the mermaids are only half human, and the other half is a mix of fish and human. While mermen are more like humans, they appear to be half fish.

Draco said as he sat on one of the padded benches. The boat jostled a bit, as though reacquainting itself with the weight of passengers, then slipped off into deeper waters. “They’re stunning.” I admitted, staring out at a group of them. “I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything so beautiful.” The water at my back began to ripple, and not from the boats gentle movements. I jolted as a head of fuchsia hair appeared, followed by a tail with scales the same color. The mermaid smiled brightly as I gaped at her. Her eyes were the brightest shade of green I’d ever seen. Like rolling hills baking beneath a setting sun.

“I’ve never gone out of this country. We can’t swim very far because there are certain areas in the sea which are dangerous for us. Sharks and other deadly sea creatures can attack us so we don’t travel much. I'm not sure about the rest of my kind.I lost a lot of my memories so I can't remember anyone from my species. They might be out there somewhere in the sea.” Did anyone look for me all this time? she sadly wondered. “Do you have super powers?” Alina asked. “Like...are you the fastest person on earth?
