When Forbidden World Collide

Chapter 1

Flapping his tail around in admiration, John soaked the heavy sunray's gleaming across his smooth skin. The merman loved to lie in the sun for endless hours. He would always be found under the sun. When it becomes late and the sun lowers under the endless sky, he quickly swims back to his small cave to rest.

The beautiful merman continued to sunbath in the warm, white sand when he saw it. He didn't know what it was at first, but when the large wooden thing moved closer to shore, he got a closer look. There were human all over the floating object, roaring and roaming across the stiff craft.

John crawled closer to the ocean to plan an escape from the chaos that was about to take place. He learned about humans in school but not a soul ever talked about them. John had always wondered if it were that nobody had lived to tell the tale.

He was on the shoreline to the bay when he started to feel dizzy. He knew that swimming wouldn't help his case, but he needed to get as far away from the humans as possible.

He lazily turned his head to look at the people who were now exiting the object and looking around the unexplored terrain. They must have liked what they had seen because they were waving at the others to come down too.

John whimpered as a breeze of cool air drafted across the night sky.

John froze when he heard distant footsteps slowly inching forward. He turned and looked behind himself with a gasp.
Lurking behind him was a human that looked positively stunning. The merman had never seen anything like the human. The human had unruly dark chocolate curls that looked black against the night sky. He also had pale grey-blue eyes that burst with light when John looked into them. The merman's heart fluttered out of his chest to the strange human.

The merman stared at the human as the human stared at him. When the human opened his mouth, the merman's heart stopped beating.

"I thought that your kind was only a sheer fairytale. You can wipe off that stupid look on your face, it's unbecoming." The human had a deep, rich voice that kept ringing in John's ears.

John dramatically huffed in retort. When he was about to flee to the cool water, the human jumped and grabbed the merman's arm. The mortal clutched the arm tightly as he brought it to his face.

John turned his head and looked in the ocean as if he were calling for help. The human took the defensive look on John's as a negative sign and let go.

"I apologize if that made you feel uncomfortable. You aren't like most mermans'. You are an outcast, which explains why you were laying on the beach in the first place. The indentations in the sand explain that you cannot lean on your shoulder. Possibly a encounter with another human, or a mermaid. Your people disapprove of your actions, therefor, outcast".

John looked offended and puffed out a sigh and jumped quickly into the water. John got about ten feet in the bay when he heard a call. He poked the top of his head out of the water and listened to the human.

"My name is Sherlock and I would never hurt you! I find you fascinating and would ask you to join my crew. Think about it," Sherlock yelled. John just turned and swam to his dark cave to rest for the night.

John woke up to a tap.

Startled, he jumped up and hit his head on the rock above his head. He looked around the cramped cave, then swam up to the surface of the ocean. He peaked his head out of the water, his ears sticking out of the water ever so slightly. John noticed that the ship that was once on shore was gone.

John swam closer to the shore to take his regular position of tanning. The merman was close to the shore when he felt the small tremor. He gasped and crawled up the warm sand. He looked back at the water for answers when he saw a small crack forming in the sand. He looked at it, dumbfounded.

"Don't be so surprised, there will be an earthquake in about five minutes. This is just the beginning. On this island, earthquakes will warm the water to boiling point. Don't ask why, it's different on each continent. This is the reason we are here, to observe the diversity between the spiritual islands, our lands aren't like yours." Sherlock said as he appeared from behind a palm tree.

John melodramatically rolled his eyes and huffed at the human.

"Do you ever talk? What are you called?"

John thought about swimming away, but decided against it because the water looked like it was steaming.

"Johnakae", call me a John," John hasn't used his voice since 'The attack'. He didn't know proper human language, so he tried his best.

"Why you here? What happen to home?" John had said with a look of confusion.

"All your questions will be answered soon just come with me and be on my boat. Our crew would be more than…pleased to have you join us." Sherlock said as he blushed ever so slightly.

"I'm sorry s'lock. I have home here. Happy." John said as he observed the exquisite human.

"John", Sherlock said as he took a small step towards the merman. John flinched at the movement but stayed calm otherwise. "Come with me." John had barely had time to answer. The earthquake was starting.

Sherlock paused at his speech when he saw John's scrunched up face. He felt sorry for John because he was going to be alone.

Like him.

John fell backwards and landed on the hot sand. He whimpered as the merman arched his back off the ground and pointed his shining, golden tail up into the blistering air. Sherlock rushed forward to his mermaid and knelt down on the sand. Now he knew why John was trying to get away from the sand; the sand was scorching. He jumped up from the sand but bent down to pick up the whimpering merman. When he did so, he held John in his arms, not ever wanting to let go. Sherlock walked back to his ship (which was on the other side of the island). He knew the autonomy of a merman, the needed water every hour at least. Sherlock knew that the ship was around the corner, but he ran anyway. He would never want to risk John.

Sherlock started to run to his ship, still carrying the merman who had Passed out sometime on the way. Sherlock knew that the merman would want answers when he would wake up on a strange ship. He didn't seem to know what a ship was.

Sherlock reached his ship and crawled up the latter, holding John up to his chest tighter. He climbed aboard and looked around for his crew. They weren't there, or even on the ship. He put John down and went to his cabin. Sherlock had always dreamed about having a mermaid or merman, but he gave the dream up when he hit his youth years. But he kept his large tank just in case he was to run into one.

Sherlock put John in the empty tank and watched as the merman settled to the bottom of the clear glass.

John was beautiful. Stunning.

John's bright blond hair was cut so you couldn't see his ears or forehead. He had stormy blue eyes that glowed in the sunlight. His tail was a golden yellow that would shine in or out of water. Sherlock wondered if John had a mate or at least a friend. He didn't think John did, because John was an outcast. Sherlock would only wonder why.
