Novel & Cerita Mermaid Short Story

He proudly remarked, divulging me the truth at the same time. Wait… what? He suddenly captured my attention with what he just said. For that, I frowned. Did I hear it right that his sister was the one who created this mermaid? That this Drey Laxamana was in fact… a woman? “R-Really? Are you with her, kid?” The hope in my body swiftly intensified, silently praying that this talk would lead me to finally see Juno. I tried to level my body with the boy’s height so we could properly talk. He was so small and with my six foot and two inches height, it was really hard for me to do so.

The moment his parents laid eyes on him, their faces were etched only with anxiety and sorrow. “Where is Aurora? Take us to her at once. A mermaid cannot survive far from the deep sea. She will dissolve into foam and vanish forever.” A heavy dread sank in Lazarus’s chest, yet he forced himself to remain cold and unyielding. “She defied Isolde and has been confined in the forbidden storage chamber. Father, merfolk possess tenacious vitality—she will not perish so easily.” “Set her aside. Tell me, where have you been all these years?”

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.

~Maddie~ One week later I can't sleep. The clock ticks past midnight, and my room feels too quiet. Mom's text from earlier replays in my head, "Trip extended, merger issues. I'll be home in a few more days. Love you." She probably sent it to Jake too, but all it means to me is extra time. Time to finally break him. I've been at this for days now—brushing against him in the kitchen, letting my foot wander under the table, whispering things that make his eyes go dark. He resists, but I see the cracks. His voice gets rough when he says my name. Tonight, with the house empty except for us, I'm done playing.

Once Mom and Dorothy clearly saw the object on the ground, their screams erupted one after another. Both of them were nearly scared out of their minds, yet their eyes were locked on the object, unable to look away until it rolled to a stop in front of the trash bin. A severed head rested silently against the green trash bin. The face was covered in blood and grime, eyes wide, frozen in the terror of its final moments. The features had long been beaten beyond recognition. Mom trembled as she walked toward me and, in disbelief, reached out to remove the pearl earring. After she recognized it, she let out a gut-wrenching wail. Her vision went black, and she collapsed.

I offered trying to sound casual as I stretched the card to them. They stood frozen, their eyes wide with shock. Maybe it was the rumors—or the videos of me circulating everywhere. “Yes, we’d love to,” the girl beside her blurted eagerly. The first girl fixed me with a piercing stare. I could only make out her eyes—those striking green-hazel irises that tugged at my memory. But I didn’t have time to dwell on it. I needed to get inside, to pull my submissive out of this den of men before it was too late.

WARNING‼️ THIS STORY IS A PARANORMAL STORY 🔞 Chapter 1 My skin felt sticky from sweat as I peeled off my damp shirt and stepped closer to the tall antique mirror I had dragged out of the closet earlier. I wiped sweat from my neck and stared at my reflection, for a second everything matched. Then my reflection smiled a heartbeat after I did. My pulse jumped. I blinked hard and shook my head I was just tired that was all. I turned away to grab a towel but something made me glance back. My reflection stared at me, eyes darker, lips parted.

“Zoe, do you like this?” She looked at the doll and pressed herself closer to the car window. I had never liked dolls since I was little. I liked Ultraman. When she did not take it, he set the doll down on the seat and reached out to pat her head. I held her close and moved away. His hand froze in midair. It took him a while to pull it back. The car drove on for a very long time. Little Zoe began to sob. “I want Mommy...”

"Well we met when I was six, I don't remember what happened exactly but I was crying by the river and she came and hugged me and told me everything would be okay and since then, we became friends." The four of us me, dad, uncle Ryan and Kaden looked at each other and back at Mel. "Is she that mermaid friend you always talk about?" I asked She always talks about how mermaids exist and how she has A mermaid friend. She nodded her head, "yeah she's the one," "Let's go back home," I simply said and held her hand going back to the house. "Do you have a clue about what the woman was talking about?" Kaden asked through mind link.
