A Mermaids Rage

The waters were colder there, dark and more damp then any she had seen or been.

The Sea Witches home.

Little cries of victims of her plows seeking to her as if to try to turn her away. The deadly glow of yellow threw the skeleton of what seem to be a very large fish that the witched lived in, tempted her, telling her of the magic that could help. Holding tight her to braclet she sway through the open mouth and followed the trail, her skin chilled with both fear and thrillment... She remembered the night her friend had seeked the witch. Lily was to late to stop her. The creatures, those fishes that followed her friend told her ears where the little mermaid had swam off too. But by the time she had made it, to see the witches home. Pain hit her and a cry of shock left her lips.

Her friend was heading to the surface, a bottle in hand. Lily called out to her, following after. She needed to stop her, to tell her it was not worth the risk. But her friend paid no mind and went to the mortal world and turned herself. Lily felt empty that day, her friend had left the waters and givin up the one thing that Lily prased and blessed.

Her voice...

But not now. Her death would not be in vain. Brushing past the hanging weeds, her eyes seeked.

'Whom are you to enter here?'

Lily stopped dead a the voice, so low and slurred, echoing threw the darkness of the room. It seemed only a table glowed, where mist and bubbles rose. "... I need your help." The Sea witch came out then, her bone brittle and her face aged. Her white hair flowing above her. Her black legs,8 in total slide across the floor, inching her way over. "What do you desire from me?" She asked. Looking down, she held her braclet and looked at it lost. She hope this was the right choice... No.. She knew it was.

Looking back to the sea witch, Lily tipped her head up strongly and narrowed her eyes with rage. "Give me the legs of the mortal world so I may go." Silence greeted her ears, before those cracked lips broke into a smile and a chuckle echoed. "Are you seeking love? Like your friend?" She mocked. "I told her when she asked me such a thing. That it would be in vain, that she would not get what she wanted, but a foolish heart can never be swaied. Why do you wish to go to the dry world above."

Her hand trembled with rage, before she hissed out. "I do not want love from that world, it showed none for my friend. All I want, is the feel of the blood of that man whom took my friends heart ripped it in two. I want his head!"

The Sea witched stared, almost in shock at the rage that burned in Lily's eyes. "You seek... revenge?" Lily through her braclet upon the glowing table and rushed at her. Her hands grabbing those small bony shoulders. "Take my voice, take my eyes. Take my tongue, take whatever you wish. Just give it to me. Give me the chance to make the man my friend loved suffer. Let me feel his blood on my skin and his head in my hands. Take what you will, But give me legs!"

The Sea Witch was most impressed... Most of her vistims whom had come to her, seeking answers always whined and begged. Never demanded. She saw the rage, the bitterness within this young mermaid's heart and she could not help but smile at such. "Your very impressive.." Taking her hands from her shoulder. The Sea Witch lead to to the table. "Far more impressive then any of my victims... This hate and anger you hold, never lose it. Hold it close, hold it tight." Letting her hands go, she touched the table top, bringing the braclet up into the waters embrace before them.

"You will be of great use to me." She whispered. Liftign her hands, the braclet began to swirl before it broke in two making Lily cry out. The pearls and beads melted and orbs began to fourm. "I will give you what you seek. Those legs for the mortal world. You will keep your eyes, your tongue. But give me your hair. I can make a weapon, a weapon of such power, the moment the blood of the man you despised touching the blade, wipe it upon her legs. Once done, your fin will return and you may return to the sea."

Lily stared at her in shock, listening to her worlds. But she saw the look in the Sea Witches eyes, and the smirk upon her face. "... What do you want out of this." She questioned. The Sea Witched chuckled as she took a bottle from the floor, beginning her work. "Why my dear... I want you." Lily gasped as the Sea witched laughed. "Take the humans head and bring it back to me. Once your task is done, your life will be mine. I need someone to take after me. My years are coming to an end. With your rage, with you anger. It would be put to good use." With a wave of her hand Lily cried out as her hair was suddenly pulled. Her long locks, that looked of living flame was shedded and cut to her chin, letting her feel the coldness of the water along her back.

Those locks swirled and moved to the table, before Lily's eyes. Her lost locks swirled together, molding in till a flash of light hit it. Floating before her, a dagger with a black shell handle laid before her. Her eyes widen in wounder and awe. It was so deadly... but lovly at the same time.

Reaching up, her figners curled around the handle and pulled it close, at the same time the Sea Witch turned and held out a bottle to her. "Take this to the mortal surface and sit upon the dry sand. When the day sinks and the night grows, drink. You will be givin the legs of such beauty, no mortal eye can compair. But like your friend, it will hurt you greatly. With every step it will feel as those sharp rocks are slicing through your very flesh. But Unlike last time, no blood will spill. Can you handle such a fate? For a simple task of revenge?"

Lily watched her, holding the bottle to her eyes, the white juice within swirling, tempting her to take. With a snarl, she snatched the bottle from the Sea Witched hand. "I will bare anything you give me Witch, as long as I get the joy of seeing this man fall under my blade."

The Sea Witch let out a roaring laugh as Lily got up to leave. "Remember dear!" Her voice called out behind as Lily swam back the way she came. Her ojbects held tightly in her grasp. She would make this man suffer. She will not let her friend passing takin lightly. But as she left the open mouth and began to swam up, the Sea Witched voice echoed to her ears.

"You belong.. To me Now!"
