Trigger Warning: Acts of violence at the end.

Chapter 1

The lights flickered on, And I found myself in a new setting.

I was surrounded by a big tank filled with nothing but water. He tossed me inside of the tank and I heard the faintest clicking sound.

He held a small black item in his hand.

"What is that?" I questioned it,as fear Rose from the depth of my soul. He started pointing it in my direction.

I couldn't help but flinch and dodge at the sound of the shutter, and the grin on his face.

A bad feeling crept in the pit of my gut,as I placed my hand on the glass wall in front of me.

He left out, and when he returned, he had another item.

he placed it down and pointed it in my direction, his eyes were focused as he peeked through the lens.

I was unsure of what to do, I didn't know what was going to happen to me, and certainly didn't want to find out.

After he finished peeking through the mysterious object he pressed down on a button, I couldn't stop staring at it,as he left out and closed the door.

Not long after he returned, he was followed by several people, with a sick cackle he hit the glass of the tank.

The cracking sound of the tank echoed though the entired room, the pressure pushed against the glass.

Without warning, both the water and myself came flooding out the shattered tank, glass shards laid against the floor.

I wince from the pain that resonated through my tail.

Murmurs of the others echoed through the room as they recognized the blood coming from my tail.

"It's bleeding...It have to be real...right?"

Different voices from the people that crowded the small room echoed with curiosity and uncertainty, I couldn't focus on my own thoughts due to the fear and anxiety that was taking me over.

My head was spinning from the confusion.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you're gathered here today! because we have learned there's been another species beside us all along,"

He roared charismatically, as he continued to explain.

"Have any of your loved ones ever disappeared at sea?, Drowned at the beach?, or magically disappeared!?" He questioned loudly before looking my way.

"Ever wanted revenge?" He asked with a mischievous grin.

"Your culprit is right in front of you, he may not have done it- but his ancestors might have! They are beings of the sea; they hold the power to drown an ordinary person!" he declared as he picked me up by my neck.

" kill it, avenge your family and friends!" He demanded happily as he cackled while throwing me into the crowd of riled up humans.

While chanting in unison they grabbed hold of me, they took their hatred and anger out on me.

I could feel the detest, and the anger, my self worth diminished tremendously. I could do nothing but apologize.

"I'm sorry...I'm sorry...I'm so sorry," I chanted as I took every kick and every hit to my stomach,tail, and head.

Bloody and worn, they beat me non-stop.

Begging for help, pleading to a god of any form.

It was no use, helpless and weak my body grew tired, with no resistance I closed my eyes and allowed the darkness to take me.
