A/N
This is a short-chapter story. All the chapters will be between 500 -1500 words. I'm not sure how many chapters there will be so, even if there's 50 chapters, the chapters will remain short.

The boat was treading through the water as it headed towards it's destination. The boat was more like a yacht, complete with four bedrooms, a large country kitchen and gallery, formal dinning area, and a Jacuzzi. The family of four was aboard the ship along with the ship's owner and his son, who happens to be related to the family of four. The family of four consisted of Mr. and Mrs. Gabriel and Natalie Whitlock, their seven-year-old son Jasper, and their four year old daughter Amy. The older man was Carlisle and his son, six-year-old Edward.
Jasper was looking out towards the water, away from everyone else. Her little sister was annoying him and his cousin, Edward, was downstairs in the bathroom. As he scoped the waters for nothing in particular, he noticed something break through the surface of the water. Leaning closer to get a better look, Jasper's eyes widened as he saw that the object in the water looked like a person, or well the head of a person.
"Dad!" He called over his shoulder in a slight panic, for he though that someone had fell into the water from off of another boat and must need medical attention; he looked back towards the object in the water as he waited for his father to come over.
As if it heard him, the head turned in Jasper's direction before quickly going back under the water. Seconds later, an aquamarine, purple, and pink tail flopped into the water, causing Jasper to gasp in shock and almost fall into the water. Strong hands caught him from behind before he could actually fall, pulling him back safely onto the deck.
"Whoa, buddy. Don't want to take a spill in there," Jasper's father said, placing him onto the deck.
Jasper ignored his father's words, still caught up on the sight he just caught.
"Dad! There was something in the water!" He cried, looking over his shoulder.
"Of course there is, son. We are on the ocean. There's a whole lot of fish out there. Speaking of which, Carlisle and I need to go plan our fishing trips for the summer."
Gabriel patted Jasper's shoulder and turned to walk away, but Jasper wasn't finished.
"No, dad. There was a huge tail! It couldn't have been a fish."
"It must have been a dolphin or something. They're common in the area."
"But dad-" Jasper cried out again, but his father had already started to walk away.
Sighing, Jasper turned and looked back out towards the water. He gasped softly when he noticed the head bobbing on the water's surface. It was closer, making it clear to Jasper that it was a female. Instead of disappearing quickly, the woman watched Jasper and the boat travel further away before going back under, the tail flapping once against the water.
Footsteps were heard coming up the stairs to the deck and seconds later, Edward appeared by Jasper's side.
"Dude, did you see that?" Jasper asked, wondering if he was going crazy or something.
"See what?" Edward questioned back, confused.
Shaking his head, Jasper looked out onto the water, but the woman was already gone. The whole ride to the island, as well as the whole vacation, Jasper looked anxiously towards the water, wondering if he would ever see the mysterious woman in the water ever again.
