The promised mermaid princess

Where am i?

Asa's POV

There are voices talking around me, my head was pounding and my eyelids were heavy. I try to slowly open my eyes and take in my surroundings. I open my eyes and realise I'm in a strange cell. I'm surrounded by what looks like purple, blue and red glowing vines. Eel are surrounding it releasing electrical currents. There are also sharks all around as well but what caught me off guard and had my blood pressure rise were the merman holding silver stuff standing in front of what now was evident is an underwater cell. 

"This is not happening, I must be dead or something. Mermaids are a myth, they simply dont exist" I whisper to myself.  

What was strange though was the calmness I felt being in the environment. For someone who just got the shock of her life I felt at ease more than i have ever felt in my entire life. I settle myself up the small are was thrown at and I start replaying the day events. I trace my memory back to the beach where everything went blank, I remember the soldier mentioning the king as he kept referring to me as princess. That was very strange to me. How can I be a princess, my father is a car dealership owner and my mom is a housewife not coming from any royalty. Hell the only royalty I know of is the one ruled by queen Elizabeth of England. 

I decide to try my luck and speak to the gentlemen with blue fish tails and scales on their bodies. The back of their neck has what looks like fins running all the way to the top of their heads with a fin finally poking out of the top. 

"Excuse me gentlemen, can one of you tell me where I am?" Nothing comes out from them, they simply ignore me. I try again "please help me, I think you made a mistake. I'm not who you think I am. Im just a human girl mistaken for someone else". Again they ignore my attempts at engaging them. 

After what felt like a long minute I hear a female voice coming from the passage way "but that's where you have it wrong princess Ava, you re exactly who they think you are" she says approaching me. In front of me stood the most beautiful mermaid I've ever seen... well I've never seen a mermaid before but I'm sure she still will be the most beautiful if I compared. Her red curly hair came all the way to her back, her eyes were a glowing light golden color. She had gold scales covering some parts of her arms and breast area with her figure exposed. Her golden tail was kind covered with scales that look like they were placed on her one by one. Her aura screamed EVIL as she looked down on me. I concluded right there and there she was not here on a friendly visit, she was the enemy. 

"You know you look just like your mother, I mean she was weak and pathetic in the end as she begged for her life but you still look like her. With you I sense a fighting spirit atleast" she says looking down at me. 

"How do you know my mother" I ask "she has never been here and for your information i look nothing like her" to which she burst out laughing "my girl I'm not referring to those weak humans, I'm referring to your birt mother queen Cordelia. Well I'm queen now after I replaced her" she says"what do you mean my birth mother, was I adopted" I ask with a tea flowing down my chick. 

"You will find out all you need to know in good time. Right now I want to see your chosen mark, show it to me" she demands with her eyes now glowing brighter than before. "What mark, I think you mermaids have the wrong person, I dont have any birth marks" I say "that witch must have suppressed it" she says more to herself than me. Oh well it's nothing I can't fix... she chants something in her mouth and I feel a burn on my left hand wrist. Soon after a sign of a trident with a circle around it appeared. "You are the chosen one who will save and rule over both the land and the seas, what a joke" she laughs out. Look at how pathetic you are. I was still looking t the mark on my wrist wondering what it was and what I meant. She pulled me of my thought when she announced her departure but indicated he will be back soon with my father the king. She walked away and I was left more confused than ever. When the mark burned and showed itself I felt a strange energy inside of me that I couldn't explain. 

She said my father will come see me, does this mean he is also in on this a*******n plan, does he also want to see me dead? What did she mean they killed my birth mother? All the questions were more confusing than ever and I just sat there crying my eyes out.... I want to go home I thought to myself
