Deep Thoughts

I can't marry Allic. I have my whole life ahead of me. I just graduated not long ago and I just became a legal adult too. I have so many things taht I want to do before I settle down. I won't be able to travel if I'm a married mermaid. 

Wait a minute... Didn't Allic say that he's first born? Then that means.... He's next in line for the thrown. Oh no I can't become, "Queen of the sea", not at this age. I'm not ready to have children either. I want to live my life a little. 

Finally it's time to get out of the water and shift back. I just need to remember that the pain is only temporary and that it's over with before I know it. It still doesn't help the fact that as soon as I get out of the water and make myself change back into a human I begin screaming in agony. I can feel my bones breaking all over again. But this time they aren't fusing together they are separating. All of the scales are drying out and looking more and more like my skin as the seconds tick by. What feels like hours of pain and agony finally come to a halt and I can get out of the water and get dressed. 

I'm so tired and I can't wait to get home. It's been a very long day and I'm absolutely exhausted. 

Allic gets dressed and we slowly make our way to the mouth of the cave towards my vehicle. 

I hope that I have enough energy to make it home. If not I guess that I can pull over somewhere. As we start driving back towards the beach parking lot it's seems like it's a very long trip until we get there and Allic and I talked about everything on the way home. I told him that as of now I neither accepted nor rejected his engagement. But I do want to get to know him even more just to be one hundred percent sure that I'm ok with spending time him. I feel very safe and comfortable around Allic. I know that he wouldn't harm me and no one else in my presence would harm me either. I feel like if Allic and I did get married that we'd be great parents. I've always wanted children.... Just not right now. Right now I'd really like to focus on my life and possibly college in the near future. Not marriage, and certainly not children. Let alone rulling as queen by Allics side.
