Leilani's Tail

Anuhea's Tale

If you're reading this then you know how our stories end, but did you ever stop to think how this all began? Thats right its me. Since all you know is the end of the story you probably hate me for what i've done. But please at least listen and know why I acted like I did. I cant promise you will forgive me or just think that all this does is give me a sad excuse. Well here it goes, this is how it all started, well for me at least.

I slowly woke up to the sound of yelling. I got up and swam into the room the yelling was coming from only to see my mother and father yelling at each other. For some reason mother was holding a knife. I wonder why they were yelling. I decided to go just close enough for me to hear them.

What are you talking about love? You can't leave me. You can love me and only me. You know that's not true. The only reason I stayed with you was for the children's sake. I don't love you. I've found a person who loves me and I love her, Im leaving. No! You can't leave me! You're the only one i've ever loved. I can't let you leave darling. Well it's too bad you don't have a choice in this. I'm leaving no matter what you say. I can't stand to pretend that I love you anymore. Well darling I'm afraid that you leave me with no choice. If you can't be mine then I certainly can't let that b***h have you!

It was terrifying, she was smiling but tears were streaming down her face as she brought the knife up and started stabbing him over and over and over and over. Once she stopped stabbing him she noticed I was standing in the doorway, horrified she turned to me and said This is Love Anuhea.

That was already seven years ago and mother passed on a year ago. Makamae, my sister, is all I have left. I don't believe I could be able to get though these things without her. Everyone says that all good things must come to an end, but I will always find a way to change that. I swam into the eating room to see my sister laying on her stomach on the floor making a beaded necklace. As soon as she saw me she got up and swam towards me saying “Hey big sis! I have some news for you. Honestly I really should have told you earlier but I was worried how you would react. So you gotta promise not to get mad ok?”. I crossed my arms and looked at her suspiciously and said “I'll do my best not to get mad at you but it depends on what you tell me.” She looks so nervous. I hope nothing is wrong with her. “I'm in love with someone and I want to go live with him!”. What? No. No, she can't be leaving me to. What mom said must have been right. The person you love will always try to leave you in the end, but the only way to prove that you actually love them is to make sure they never leave you! “No. I'm afraid I can't let you leave Makamae. I can't let you think that I don't love you, so therefore I have to stop you anyway possible.” When she tried to get away I trapped her into a corner. There was no way she could leave me now. As I pulled my hand out from behind my back to reveal my knife made of sharpened coral. She looked absolutely terrified as she immediately froze when she saw the sharp blade of the blade. She was starting to sob uncontrollably and as I started to raise the knife I said “I'm sorry. I'm so so sorry, but I can't let you leave me Makamae.” Before she could even take another breath I swiftly brought the knife down and plunged it into her chest. As fury, grief , and confusion all rushed into me at once my emotions just took over as I stabbed her over and over and over and over. Suddenly all my thoughts were cut off as I heard a voice come from directly outside the house. Then suddenly I heard a knock on the door. It was enough to shock me out of my murderous rage. I looked down at my blood covered hands in horror. The thought instantly came to me, if they see me like this I'll be killed. I start to panic so I swim out the window and swim far away. As I get further from my home I notice something up on the surface. It's a girl with legs. I watched as she lost her balance and hit her head on a rock. I decided that this might be interesting so I helped her onto a small island.
