 Glyndwr wasn't meant to be out so late, this was the time that the sharks came out to hunt and his kind definitely resembled prey to the monstrous fish, but he couldn't sleep and a swim was sure to settle his mind. Lately there'd been talk of the unrest of the Deep Ones, who were supposedly angry with their God King Nêreus and his favoritism of the Blue Ones, with their beautiful features. Of course, it wasn't their fault that the Deep Ones had chosen to move into the darkness those many years ago. He shuddered slightly as the image of them came to him, their misshapen jaws and overly large, vacant eyes. He looked around, not wanting to admit he'd freaked himself out. Still, this was as good a time as any to head home and out of these dark waters. At least he had the moon to comfort him. He turned in the water and headed back towards home, a little faster than he'd come. However, he didn't make it far until the sound of rushing water from below drew his attention. He gasped and bolted as he saw two Deep Ones, strange blinds over their faces to protect them from even the weak filtered light of the moon, and a net stretched between them that was not of their make. Unfortunately, they'd gotten a jump on him and he soon found himself entangled in the net, most of it thanks to them rather than his struggling. His tail was wrenched back painfully and his arms bound. He tried to free himself, shouting insults, but they ignored him. To his surprise, they began swimming back the way he'd come, rather than down into the murkiness below. He listened as they explained their plan. See, their numbers were too little to lead them to victory over the Blue Ones. However, Humans were plentiful and they did not have the technology to get down to the Deep Ones domain. The humans, upon finding one merperson, would come after the rest of them and, well, do what humans do best. The sun had only just started to come up when Glyndwr found himself tossed roughly up onto dry land. He gasped, the air harsh on his throat, and looked around. Well, the beach didn't look too populated. Hopefully they didn't have much information and had thrown him onto an uninhabited island. As the sun came up, he tried to figure out how to get out of his binding. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Her father was big in Hollywood. What he did, she wasn't exactly sure. Something with making drugged out, boozed up stars lives easier. All she knew is she didn't want to live with him. However, she didn't want to live with her Mom and her new boyfriend a lot more. She sighed as she pulled on shorts and a tank top. At least he owned his own island and let her stay on it. Of course, he flew back at the end of every day, but he also left every morning. Still, they didn't exactly connect, and she didn't mind spending most of her time on the island alone. It made it more peaceful for her and she could draw, read, write, whatever in peace, without him hovering awkwardly over her and trying to 'bond' with her. She slid on a pair of flip-flops as she left her room, grabbing her book as she went. She was just going to have a nice, peaceful morning on the beach before it got too ho and she'd try to stay upright on a surfboard again. Until then though, it was just her and her book. She was met downstairs by her fathers pure-bred yellow Labrador retriever, a dog who'd fallen in love with her the instant they'd met. She smiled and rubbed his head. A little company couldn't hurt she decided, and scooped up his ball. She headed to the beach, tossing the ball into the air for him to catch as they walked. Finally they made within sight of the wooden walkways leading down to the beach. She cocked her arm back and threw the ball so it sailed down into the sand, the dog shooting off after it. She walked on casually, until loud, defensive barking drew her attention. She ran then, surveying the beach from her high vantage point. The dog had found an old fisherman's net, washed up onto the beach in a tangled mess. But...wait...was it...moving?

Jessenia Cruz

Was it just her eyes? Perhaps the blinding sun glare? Jessenia wasn't sure. The net was getting larger and larger as she ran toward it. Rosco barked furiously at whatever was inside, she was afraid that it might bite and injure the dog, as he was often too curious for his own good.
"What is it boy? What did you--holy crap!" Her eyes widened as she stopped running and froze in shock at what--no, who--she saw trapped in the net. Not even the sound of Rosco's barking could break her from her daze.
A...mermaid? A real, live, flippin' mermaid...merman, as she noticed by his muscular chest and arms. Oh, my, she thought to herself in George Takei's voice. Her heart was thumping loudly, probably from the run she just had. Hm. I should run more often. I've been slacking lately, she thought before the man...merman started fidgeting around in the net. He was still trapped. Could he speak English? Could he understand her? "Well, universe, now is the time to learn if all the mermaid movies I've watched are real," she said with a sigh, still in disbelief of what was happening right before her eyes. She stepped forward, Rosco eagerly jumping by her side, and began to untangle the net.

Glyn was having a hard time coping with his situation. He couldn't free himself, he couldn't get out of the accursed sun which was already entirely too hot for him, he couldn't breathe! Not that that had anything to do with his environment really, by now he would have gotten used to the harsher out-of-water air if his head weren't pulled back, caught in[ the net. He silently cursed the Deep ones and the humans. If it weren't for them, the Deep Ones wouldn't even had had a net! He thrashed against the rope uselessly until he lay there panting, no better off if not worse than before. After a moment he began rocking to perhaps tip himself onto his stomach. At least then he could see something other than that expanse of sand. If he could see the ocean he could maybe get to it and get somewhere safe.
Then the barking started. Was it barking? It sounded sort of like barking, just a little deeper and more aggressive. Or course, seals spent most of their time in the water, maybe he hadn't heard all of their noises? What ran into his point of view was not a seal! Or...maybe it was? It kind of had a sealish head, but that was about it. It ran around him barking and he tried to follow it to get a proper look at it. Finally it stopped near his head, deciding it was a good idea to bark in his face. He looked it over through all the slobber and furrowed his brows. "What in Styx are you?" He asked, only exciting it and setting it running again. He wasn't too worried about this thing, it seemed more curious than hostile.
Nope, it was the voice that made him freeze. Of course this thing would alert a human, that was his perfect luck for you. Caught by his kinds freakish cousins, thrown on shore in the most uncomfortable pose ever, barked at by some weird land-seal, and then murdered by a human. The perfect day! Well...perhaps she'd think he was the only one of his kind. After all, their villages were far from where the humans lived, it wouldn't be easy for the humans to find them. What the Styx were movies? And why were some of them mermaids? Did they have captives up here already? That...didn't bode well... He flinched as he felt her hands on him, unable to see her as she tugged at the netting. "Just kill me, don't bother with the stupid mind games!" He snapped.

Jessenia Cruz

Jessenia flinched as the man snapped at her in clear English. "Whoa! Holy crap!" she exclaimed and released her grip on the net, now standing in shock before the man. "You just talked! You can talk! You're a mermaid--uh, merman! You're a frickin' fictional creature! What is going on right now?!" she began pacing and ranting mostly to herself, as she was in a state of confusion and disbelief. Rosco followed behind her until he realized she was just walking back and forth, and decided to sniff at the entangled and interesting merman instead. As a general rule, Jessenia always liked to be prepared for anything; a sudden attack, a pop quiz, smoke in the kitchen from women who tried to cook for her father to impress him...but this? There was no preparation for this.
"Am I hallucinating right now? Am I drugged somewhere or something? What the hell?!" she panicked when suddenly Rosco tackled her to the ground and licked her excitedly. She groaned as she gently shoved him away and sat up, wiping the beach sand that had now accumulated on her clothes thanks to Rosco's enthusiasm. No, she wasn't drugged, she realized. No drug could simulate that dog's slobber. She sighed as she watched the dog return to exploring the merman, who was still entangled. He looked so different, so..."out of this world," as the stupid phrase goes. Yet his words were annoyed, and hostile. Not quite menacing, but defensive. He looked attractive, just the kind of guy you'd see crowded by girls at his high school. "Damn. Stephanie Meyer sure would love a new mythical creature to write a stupid romance about," she muttered to herself before realizing that all this time she had been talking to herself and not the merman in front of her.
God, I hope he doesn't kill me. Rosco would hate that, she thought to herself before shaking her head and approaching the merman once again. "Hi," she waved awkwardly. "Uh...I'm Jessenia. That's Rosco. Aaand I don't plan on killing you." She dropped her head and ran her fingers through her hair. "God, I'm so awkward even when talking to mermen!" she exclaimed.

As the girl came around to talk to him, after talking to no one, Glyn gave her a stern stare. "Stop babbling." He said crossly. Normally he wasn't so grumpy, but at the moment the situation called for it. After all, he was on a beach with some human and her ridiculously noisy landseal and had been tied up for hours, he doubted anyone would be in the best of moods. She'd loosened the net up enough he could finally slip his hands free and therefpre remove the loops of netting around his neck that had his head forced up. He removed them carefully before sort of sitting up halfway. His tail was still wrenched back, but at least now he could crack his neck, though it was sore.
He had to be careful about this. He wasn't exactly quick on land but he bet she was. "You, a human, aren't going to kill something from the sea. That's rare." He said, turning so he could work on his tail. How had they even gotten the net thos tangled!? "So what then? Do you plan to stick me in some tank to be put on display?" He asked. The girl seemed rather naive by the way she spoke, he wpuld guess she wanted no information from him personally. The merfolk knew of these practices of putting things in entrapments to be looked at and paid for, it was the next thing he would imagine she'd want him for.

Jessenia Cruz

Jessenia's eyes widened as he snapped at her. "Hey!" She exclaimed, her sudden nervousness replaced by annoyance and indignance. She dropped her hands and let him do the rest of the untangling, since he was so keen on doing it himself. "I don't babble! Anyways, I'm not planning on putting you on display either, what kind of freak do you think I am? Jesus, if anything, you should be worrying about the government killing you, not me. All I want to know is...is," Jessenia faltered. How do you even exist? How do you speak English? Are you capable of killing me? Is my life in danger right now? Where did you come from? Where do you live? Are there others like you? Are you gonna die without water? Can you make it to the shore on your own? Can you grow legs?
She groaned. So many questions ran through her mind, but they all seemed like stupid questions to be asking. Finally, a decent one popped into her head. "How did you get tangled up in the first place? Those knots look like they were tied by someone else's hands." She beckoned Rosco so that he would leave the man alone as he untangled himself. She wondered how long he had been tied up.
