He was drowning himself in the liquor on his hand. He could not continue his life like this. He was tired.
"Die" the voice whispered to him. The monsters within him were talking to him. The voice was clouding his thoughts.
"You are useless" he heard her mother's voice.
What was his purpose of living, when his mother despised him?
When he never knew what was love and kindness.
Death would be the only solution.
He drowned himself more, feeling himself lightheaded.
He walked wobbly on his heavy legs, giggling how his legs were intertwining together while singing some tunes.
I'm drowning to myself
«I'm drowning to myself
I don't want what they say affects me
But, I swear it is already having effects of me.
I do not know
I'm fighting it but
I'm losing it
I'm masking it
But it's hurting me
I'm drowning myself
Drowning
Fading
Crying
Screaming
Dying
But not no longer, Wishing
Hoping
Dreaming
Because I just want to escape»
He threw the liquor bottle away and walked towards the ocean to end the pain. To forget everything. To escape the taunting memories.
He walked further inside the ocean, when he got to the middle, he put his head inside it and closes his eyes, waiting for death.
And he was finally drowning
He was finally free
He was finally escaping
He was finally leaving this world
He finally felt peace.
Meanwhile in the ocean, she saw him drowning and came to his rescue forgetting she was breaking the rule.

Hello guys!
I welcome you all to the mermaidian tales
Aerwyna POV
I hated when my parents made decisions for me. It had been since I'd been given birth to.
I just hated.
I just wanted to free.
My parents were a control freak, they didn't want anything to tarnish their image while the would not let me free.
I just wished I should be a bird to spread my wings and flew away without looking back.
If I dressed, they would talk about it.
If I slept late or woke late, they would talk about.
I thought they could never be satisfied.
At the age of seventeen, my parents still chose the cloth for me and who and who I should interact with.
They only care about the image as the Royal.
I wished I was a commoner I would be free. I needed to get away before I suffocated here.
"Aerwyna Wanwisa Zulu" I heard my mom calling me.
"Yeah, mom" I responded tiredly.
"Don't hunch your back. Your back must be straight like a lady" she scolded while I groaned.
"A lady doesn't make like that sound" she bellowed while I rolled my eyes.
I could never do anything perfectly in their eyes, always correcting.
"A lady doesn't..." She was interrupted by my elder brother who was laughing.
"Ezra" I jumped on him while he twirled me around and I squealed.
I'd missed him, he was the only one who understood me the most. No one understood me. He was my best friend.
"Welcome back son" mum smiled softly at him and hugged him before she scowled at me while muttering, "a lady must.." I and my brother erupted in a fit of laughter.
He put me on the stone, ruffled my hair while I huffed annoying, "where is the father?" he asked, looking around.
"When are you going to know it is not father, it his highness" mother glared at him while he raised his hands dramatically.
"So where is his highness" he bowed his head dramatically.
"He has gone for meeting with the dolphin's alpha" she responded, furrowed her brows in confusion, "I heard the dolphins want to extend their territory to us" she spoke.
"OK, I hope they settled it" Ezra replied.
"The King is coming in" Eliot announced.
I tried to tame my dishevelled hair but papa saw it and shook his head disappointed.
Father's face had always void of emotions. I didn't think, I'd ever see him smile. He always had the stoic face every time. Father was intimidating and dominating in his tall giant figure. Only God knew how he behaved with her mother on the bed. I was brought out of my thoughts by my brother's nudge.
"What?" I whispered yelled at him while he directed his gaze to father.
"Wanwisa" father called my middle name, father never called my middle without saying something that would make me fuming but wouldn't be able to say it out.
"The meeting with the dolphin was successful but you've had to marry the prince so that the deal would be a seal. " I felt my heart breaking into pieces as he was talking.
"No" I heard everyone gasped even though I too was scared because no one never says nay to father.
"Papa, I can't marry that pompous man, he's arrogant" I cried.
"You'll marry him and that's final" his voice boomed out, the others whimpered bowing their head but the anger that was brewing in me, made me stood still.
"I'm not marrying him" father slapped me hard across my face.
Tears were brimming out of my face.
"You dare defy my order?" he yelled, fuming.
"Yes, I'm tired of listening anymore. I'm tired of being dictated to. I'm tired of being oppressed..." I felt another slap again on my other cheeks.
"Why are you forsaking my happiness, I would never be happy with him." I sobbed, "father, please change your mind" I begged and father turned his back at me.
"I've already accepted the crystal".
I stood up abruptly, he had accepted the crystal without my permission, without my consent, "I'll rather die than marrying that arrogant ugly manwhore" I screamed. I felt confident for fighting for myself since baby.
"You'll rather die than accepting my order?" he was shocked. The first time I saw an expression on Father's face apart from his emotionless face.
"Seize her up, throw her in the cold room. Don't give her water or food till I say so" he was angry. I made him angry.
"Am I even your daughter?"
"What are you waiting for?" he shouted, I looked at mother, she was just staring at the ground.
I walked to her, "are you even my mother?, you can't even defend me" I accused her.
"I hate you all, " I said and removed the ruby necklace on my neck which showed the symbol of the royals.
I was dragged to the cold room, I didn't even thrash around. I was weak, I didn't have any once energy with me anymore.
The place was freezing, my teeth were clattering and tears never ceased to stop.
I cry for my loss.
I cry till my body gave out.
When I woke up later, I found that I was being dressed, the ruby was returned back to my neck. My tail looked longer and bluer than before. My hair was curled and tamed.
"What is happening?" I asked fearfully, I was tied on the chair.
"I'm sorry princess, your father said we should dress you that your betrothal is on his way, " the maid said.
"No way, I'm marrying that pig" I screamed, thrashing on the chair. The mercury chain was cutting through my skin.
Mother came in and looked disappointed while father smiled as if he had won, when I knew what I would do then I smirked at him.
"Your betrothal is coming today and I want you to be in your best behaviour. Don't disappoint me" he warned.
"Then do what?, starve me" I replied sarcastically.
"Release her" he commanded.
The chain was unlocked and I felt relieved. "You must obey and accept it a proposal or else you will be banished" I was scared.
He would banish me?
His only daughter?
Power destroyed everything.
"Lock her in her room till the prince arrives, " the mother said, twirling her hair around.
"Where is brother, " I asked.
"I've kept him so that he wouldn't help you" he grinned triumph as me.
I was pushed in my room, and I heard the door clicked.
Good, I'd been locked against my will. I rolled my eyes.
I sat on my bed, contemplating what to do, I called one of my friend Narissa who was a seahorse to help me.
"Narissa, help me. Bring a sledgehammer along" I threw the shell-phone away.
I sent a quick prayer to God for them not thinking of disconnecting my phone.
I saw her body before I saw her, she grinned at me before waving the hammer. She broke the window and I jumped out.
"Thank you, " I said breathlessly.
"It's a pleasure, where are you going?" she asked.
"I don't know but I'll go to the north side. I'll send you a signal when I get there" I replied, hugged her the last time before swimming away.
I swam faster, I was one of the fastest and best trackers. As I turned to find the north through the wave before I lose power. I saw a man from far putting his head under the water trying to kill himself.
I must help him.
I swam quickly to him, dragged him to the shore to continue my journey but the high wave washed me to the land.
I used my power to evaporate the water he had to drown. His eyes fluttered opened, revealing his chocolate eyes. He was in dazed, "angel" and he blacked out.
I'd broken the rules.
First, by going to the ocean shore.
Second, by helping a human being
Third, by using my power on earth.

RONAN POV
"You are a mistake" his mother yelled, throwing the empty bottle at him which he dodged.
"mom..." he said a low voice.
"Shut up, I'm not your mother. I hate seeing your face. You bring all the unwanted memories" she cried, stood wobbly while stumbling to take another bottle.
"It's okay for today" he stuttered.
"Who are you to tell me it is okay?" shouted his mother, running towards him before she slipped and fell.
"Mom" he screamed, went to help her but she pushed him away.
"Don't touch me with that your rotten hands".
"Why can't you love me, mom, " the boy asked crying silently.
"No one wants a mistake. You can never be loved because you are nothing but a mistake of an unfortunate night".
"Then why did you give birth to me when you knew I'm nobody" the boy cried out.
"I'd no choice because when I knew it was late" his mother slurred before she was knocked off.
The door was yanked opened abruptly and he entered, whistling as usual.
"Always drinking to stoop " he tsked while shaking his head.
The boy's breathing changed, his chest heaved. He could still deal with his mother taunting but he was another case entirely. The boy wished the wall could open its mouth and hid him from him. His body was trembling in fear of what to comes. No one to save him. He was alone with this him.
" How is my favourite boy" he turned his gaze to the scared boy who was trembling tremendously at the corner.
"Come here boy, " he said in his lowly dark voice which sent a bad shiver to the boy.
"Please" the boy begged with his croaked voice.
"What did I tell you about begging, " he asked before descending a hard slap on the boy's cheek which resonated around the darkroom.
"Someone helps me" the boy screamed when he knew there was no one to help him. He was kicked hard which made his rib bones to cracked.
"No one can help you, no one can save you from me. No one can protect you from me because you are always Mine and you will be always Mine even death cannot save you" he laughed maniacally.

Am I finally free?. I saw a beautiful angel earlier, she took me with him, he thought.
He couldn't feel his surroundings, everything was dark.
He had always been in the darkness.
All that he knew was darkness.
All that he was, was darkness.
"Ìwọ" he heard a soft melodic voice breathed ticking his ear.
"Sọ tí kú ní?" The voice could lure him into a dreamless sleep even though he didn't understand the language.
Have I died?
Am I in heaven?
Is that the angel of death I saw before I die?. Series of questions were going through his head.
Is that angel of death he saw before he dies? then the angel of death is the most beautiful creature he ever set his eyes on. He felt his mouth twitched and smiled happily.
"Jí!, má sún" he heard the voice yelled at him but he didn't want to wake up from what he was feeling.
"Hallo" a soft hand, poked him on his chest while his eyes fluttered open and took in his surroundings.
His mouth was agape because of the death angel before him. He stared at her blue eyes which could drown him in it if not careful. She had a long blue curl hand which had fringes at the front. She had a long craft nose which compliments her pink luscious kissable lips that made him gulped.
He traced his gaze down to her chest and noticed her perky small perfect breasts were exposed closer to his mouth, his eyes widened before he screamed out.
As he screamed, he heard the death angel's screaming louder than his before he shut his mouth awkwardly.
When the angel noticed he stopped screaming, she stopped also. They stared at each other before releasing a loud shrill sound again.
The guy stood up abruptly and ran toward the left side while the girl ran after him wobbly with her shaky human's legs. When the guy noticed the girl was trailing after him he stopped and turned to her, calming his breath before he narrowed his eyes at her sceptically.
"Why are you following me, " asked the boy, studying her. She furrowed her brows in confusion as if she didn't understand the damn thing he was saying.
"Why are you making? he blushing, not looking at her but everywhere. He removed his torn shirt and gave it to her nervously. The girl studied him before yanking it from him and put it on wrongly but he didn't correct or help her. The girl stared at him salivating as if he was a candy. She moved forward and touched his chest down to his belly button in surprised. He held a moan that wanted to be released.
This was the first time he was closer to a female especially a naked beautiful female. His body was reacting unknown to him.
"Where are you from?" he was flustered, she didn't reply but traced her hand to his nipples and twirled it in between his hand, he groaned before swatting her hand away and sat abruptly on the sand while the girl copied his posture and sat beside him. He took some little pebbles on the sand, throwing it in the water.
"What's your name?" he couldn't look at her because all her gaze was on him. Her looking at him was making him uncomfortable.
"I'm Ronan" he brought his shaky hand out to introduce but the girl just stared at his hand before looking at hers and giggled melodiously.
She must be crazy, he thought.
He shifted away from a little from her so that she would not notice but she noticed it and narrowed her eyes before shifting more closer to him.
He touched his chest softly and said, "Ronan" while she nodded her head.
She looked in deep thought before she whispered out with her serenely voice, showing her prominent dimples.
"Aerwyna".
