The Mermaid's Last Wish

Chapter 44 - Red Ribbon

Erina was sitting on the sand. The sun was shining brightly. She was wondering why there was a shade. 

"Erina." Morpehus was wearing his black sweater and his sweat pants. "What are you doing here?" 

"I'm just having some thoughts and wondering about everything I need to know." She looked deeply on the sand and sighed. 

"You can lean on my shoulder." Morpheus fixed the huge umbrella and sat beside her. 

"You'll be confused." 

"Why?" Morpheus looked at her smiling but when she didn't smile back, he couldn't make a move. 

"I'm confused too. I'm wondering what am I now if I wasn't found?" 

"May be, there's something you should know." 

"What?" She unconsciously looked at him. 

"The truth about your identity. You need to know, Erina. I'll help you." He was confident that he might help her. Little did he know, that she would be in danger if he would investigate it. 

"I can't decide whatever I think of everything." She was talking about her parents with blurred physical features. It was making her to suffer more. She wanted to know the truth. He was right. 

"Where are you going, Erina?" Morpheus ran after her. 

"Please, help me!" She kneeled down and touched her heart. 

Morpheus tapped her shoulders and hugged her. 

Gavin was searching for Erina and he knew that she was going to the ocean. He once found her there when she was not feeling good. He was worried about her feeling ill. He wanted to take care of her forever. 

He arrived at the ocean. He was running and roaming his eyes to find her. There were fishermen from the other side and he was seeing two figures there, a mile away from the fishermen. 

He called her name but she couldn't hear him. Morpheus carried her far from Gavin's sight. 

Gavin was too anxious and nervous whenever Morpheus was there to help and protect her. His gut was telling him not to give his trust. He thought that it would be complicated after all.
