The Beautiful Mermaid Girl in Love With a Beast.

Ivy sat on the chair of the school garden with a text book resting on her Laps. She was so focus on what she was reading and didn't noticed the girls laughing at her. One of the girls Tana even spat on her as she passed. Ivy raised her head as she saw the girls laughing at her. She wondered what she must have done to attract such disdain from her follow class mates. She was 16 and in her final year in high school, Ivy was a pretty young girl, but her perfect figure was hidden under the big oversized dresses she often wore. Being an only child of a single mother. Mockery wasn't something new to her, she never met her dad, as she was abandoned by her father when she was two. Her mother took it upon her self to see her through school. With her face down she focused on the book on her laps, as she has no friends she has made her studies her best friend. Being the best student in her school. She gained admission into the school through scholarship. Her poor mum couldn't afford the 2.5 million naira tution fee of standard high school academy. She was the poorest in the school as the school was attended by children of governors and commissioners, big business tycoons and those that matter in the society. To the entire students she was a child of a nobody a girl without class and one that should be shunned. The morning rays pours its beauty on her as her face shorn in the bright morning sun. It was eleven pm. And on a weekend. There was no classes but every student was busy doing one thing or the other. She felt a tap on her back as she turned to see Luke standing behind her. Luke has been staring at her from a distance, he has been crushing on her for a while but just couldn't get the opportunity of talking to her for fear of being mocked by the other student for talking to someone which every one see as a worm. But to Luke Ivy was the most beautiful girl he has ever seen. He saw this perfect image hiding behind the big shirts and trousers she often wore. She was tall and have the most beautiful eyes. Her face was like the morning dew and her smile was the the most beautiful smile he has ever seen. Has Luke walked closer to her, he felt a strong wind dragging him closer to her. It was as though there was a force surrounding her, he has never felt this way before. As Ivy sat on the grass reading, she could see Luke staring at her and walking closer, even without turning to face him, despite being often ridiculed, one thing everyone fail to realize was the power she possesses. She was the all powerful queen of the high sea. A position her grandmother passes to her before she dies. A position of envy and pride. As she turned to face Luke, Luke stagers as though he has been under the influence of alcohol, but Ivy uses her eyes to control his composure and led him with her powers for him to sit beside her. Luke saw himself sitting beside Ivy but he didn't know how he got to sit beside her. The strong connection he felt for her was so intense that he couldn't even open his mouth to say a word to her. For a split second, he was already kissing her, in the presence of other students who only stood to watch with disdain. Tana rushed to were they were as he pulled Luke away from Ivy. "What in God's name are you doing with this worm" she spat Luke who was oblivious of his surroundings only stood to watch his girlfriend in confusion, he didn't even know how it happened, that he sat with Ivy kissing her. He could remember staring at her from a distance but he didn't know how he got so close to her. "Am sorry Tana, I didn't know how..." He stammered. "You didn't know what? So of all the girls in school you saw no one but this thing?" Tana ran to were Ivy was sitting as she pushed her to the floor. Ivy started bleeding. Other students joins Tana to beat Ivy up as she was covered in the pool of her own blood. She lays there alone on the ground as she taught she was dead. Nara appeared before her and touched her by the hand. She touched her forehead, as Ivy immediately sprang up, she looks around and there was no blood around her, she looked through her hands and body and there was no wound anymore, she has been healed. Nara was the realm sorceress, and she has magically healed her. Ivy didn't believe how powerless she felt before Tana. She was the strongest maiden of the coast but she didn't know how she felt so powerless in school. That she was able to explore Luke desire was something she didn't believe could happen. She has been sensing his admiration since her first day in school, and she has been feeling same towards him, but one thing she didn't know how was how to confront him and tell him of how she felt especially since he has a girlfriend who was the rudest she has ever seen. " Look at you' Nara laughed. The most powerful in the realm feeling so helpless among humans. Beaten to stupor. "If you continue mocking, I will have your tongue out" Ivy barked Her eyes shun bright red. As she stares at Nara. "I am the most powerful in the realm, and you must watch your tongue, because one more insult from you could cause your life. Nara laughed untill she began rolling on the floor. "My dear friend Ivy, you and I know that you are powerless in this world" "You still have a human heart, you are too compassionate, and that is your weakness and the reasons you cannot explore your powers here. Your love for humans will be your doom. I see you with that boy Luke, the way you feel about him. We shall kill him, before you commit more mischief here" " Don't you ever do anything to Luke" Ivy angrily replied. "Oh what?" Nara barked. " I'll destroy you" "Destroy me?" "Yes I will" Ivy replied. Luke looks at Ivy talking to her self and couldn't believe what he just saw. He had known her to be weird, but never mad. He saw how every wound on her disappeared and the place she lay as though nothing happens, after being beaten up. He couldn't defend her for fear of being ridiculed, he was ashamed of himself for joining the other student to beat the girl he has crushes on. But he began to wonder who she really was, and plan on secretly being close to her to explore her hidden side. He loved her, but he can't just let others know or even Ivy. He wondered what powers dragged him to her earlier, he touched his lips, kissing her was the most beautiful experience he ever had. A feeling that not even Tana made him feel that way. But dating Tana was a beautiful accomplishment, she was the hottest girl in school, plus she fits his class and he wouldn't trade that for a low life girl like Ivy. He left his hiding spot were he stood watching Ivy and walked to the parking lot. He pulled his car key from his pocked as he went into his car and drove away leaving Ivy in the cold and not bordering driving her home. Ivy knows she has offended her Spirit guide, Nara. To choose a human over her kind was something that could reap her of her position. She knew that, but she couldn't stand her planing to kill the man she loves. Surrounded by the the most powerful mermaids in the room, Ivy sat on a red throne. She was adorned with a black gown with gold accessories, she wore a red healed sandals, that looks like crystal, it glitters in the darkness as she walked majestically to her seat. She was the most feared in the entire realm as all heads bow as she walked, none would dare looked at her, except Nara, who stood among the crowd of mermaids. She was the only one who knows her down to earth. Everyone in the realm feared her and her words were final. She sat on her throne, as all bow to her in obedience. "Rise" she says as all still stood, still bowing. A man walked out from among the crowd. As he bowed facing the queen "Our realm has been attacked by men and women of other realm, and we must act fast before they rise to overthrow us" the man said. "Nara" she called Nara came out from among the crowd as she faces her, trembling not knowing why she called on her. Here in the coast she was so powerless that even her words can bring fire on the entire realm. She wondered if their little word exchange in the human world must have prompted her calling her out. Nara stood before Ivy faced down. "You and Ata are to secretly visit the narrow coast this night, find out what they are doing. And what they are scheming at, you must do this discreetly, no one must see you. Report to me by tomorrow your findings... "My Queen" A man from the crowd interrupted her in the crowd. "You dare interrupt your Queen?" Ivy roared with anger as she commanded for the man to be killed immediately. Nara blood run through her veins as she couldn't believe what she just saw. The queen would show no little sympathy on her people but would rather walk like worm among humans. She was half human, yes! But she was also the Queen of the coast and her first priority was first to protect her kingdom before any other. But she was powerless and couldn't say a word. Still face down she waited for another command from her Queen. " Nara and Ata" you may now leave, Ivy says. News of what happened in school spread like wide fire, with Ivy and Luke being the talk of the school. Tana has sworn to deal with Ivy for daring to look at her man. Ivy saw Luke drive in in his car, she stood staring hoping he would talk to her, buy he immediately ignored her and joined his friends as they laughed and walk into there various classes, she was used to being ridiculed, so she didn't border to feel bad. Walking towards her class, She met with Tana who confronted her. "I thought you would die from the beating, but look at you, still standing here, am sure the beating wasn't strong as I sense you have no bruises. Or you have covered it with this apron you are wearing" The word apron, makes her friends rolled with laughter. " The dead of your likes wouldn't attract any punishment because you are a nobody. Nobody will look for you, not even your wretched mum or dad who abandoned you years ago, because you were so ugly" Tana continue to fumed with abusive words on Tana. Tana didn't say a word, rather she just overlooked her and walk towards her class. Everyone turned to look at her as she stepped into the classroom, a girl threw a cockroach at her which went into Ivy oversized jacket, she just took the cockroach out of her dress and stamp her feet on it. The laughter continued untill the government teacher walked in. The class was as cool as Ice and the teacher didn't notice what had happened earlier. " Our last class was on politics Can anyone here tell us what politics is." The teacher asked. The whole class was silent, with no student attempting to answer the teacher's question. This annoys the teacher and made him feel so angry as he talks angrily to the student " You mean I wasted my time here in the last class and none of you here can answer my question? "Tana stand up" The teacher said pointing at Tana" Tana only stood up unable to open her mouth. The teacher then turned to Ivy. " Ivy tell this dumb class what politics is, am sure you are the only one here with a functional brain. Infact come out and face the class'" Tana stood up and walk towards the front of the class, she could feel the burning hate from there faces and wondered why they hated her so much. " Politics is the set of activities that are associated with making decisions in groups, or other forms of power relations among individuals, such as the distribution of resources or status. The branch of social science that studies politics and government is referred to as political science." The teacher beaming with excitement immediately asked all the student to clap for her as she asked Ivy to go to her seat. Ivy knows she will pay for what she just did. But she couldn't refuse the teacher by refusing to answer the question she knows best how to. It was lunch time and Ivy had gone to the cafeteria to eat alone as usual. When Luke walked up to her asking to sit with her on her table. She had always eaten alone and wondered why Luke the most popular boy in school would want to sit with her. "Am sorry for what happened yesterday Ivy and I want to apologize by inviting you over to my place this evening. If you wouldn't mine' If there was anything Ivy wanted more in life it was spending time with Luke and the thought of visiting him in his house, was nothing but the best words she has ever heard. And she had wanted nothing but jumping at his request with a yes! But she was scared, Tana might find out and she doesn't know how to face her. She wanted none of her insult. And Luke as though reading her mind, held her hands. As he stared into her bright brown eyes. " You are very beautiful Ivy, infact the most beautiful girl in school. But you keep wearing this bulgy dresses to hide your beauty and I wonder why?" Everyone in the school cafeteria were shocked as they all stop eating and stated at them. They never believed Luke of all guys in school would have a thing for Ivy. Tana who was just passing by was infuriated by seeing her boyfriend with the girl she hated most in campus. But she didn't walk close to their table or try to stop them she just walked away. Luke keep holding Ivy hands despite every one staring on them. He kissed her hands as he patiently waited for Ivy's reply about his proposal. " Am sorry Luke I wouldn't be able to come today. Today is Monday and I need to study for my forth coming exams on Friday, I promise to come by the weekend." " Okay no probs, your wish is my command, Friday then" Luke replied. They walked together leaving the cafeteria with Luke holding her hands, the other student could not believe what they all see. After class Luke went to meet Ivy and together they left the school with Luke carrying Ivy in his car. Ivy couldn't believe what was happening to her, as the best man she adores mostly in the world was showering her with attention. Together they drove to the boutique at Mandy's street and Luke opened the car for Ivy as she walked into the boutique. She never wished to have this kind of treatment in this world of humans as she was used to treatment like this in the Coast. Nara stood at a distance watching the two love bird walking into the boutique. She couldn't believe Luke actually love her, after joining the mob to beat her to dead a day ago. She wished she could read his mind. But her powers were limited in the human world. Humans were complicated creature, and she wouldn't dare, meddle in there affairs. " It might be love" She said to her self, smiling sheepishly. Ivy turned to look at her, she was the only one who could see her. And she was happy that she was always around her, despite being her spirit guide, she was also her only friend and protector In the human world. Here in the human world she was weak and couldn't explore her powers as she does in the coast as Queen of the high coast. Luke held her by the waist as they walked together inside the boutique. The student of standard high school stood in amazement as they saw Ivy and look drove together into the school premises. They couldn't believe what they saw. They couldn't believe Ivy was such a goddess of beauty. Her bright shining skin glitters as she walked beside Luke with both hands held together as they walked gracefully into the school. No one believes Ivy has such beauty. She was tall slender, and with the most powerful curves any woman could ever dream of. She smiled at the astonishing student who only stood to look at them. The teacher who walked into the class and love flaunting Ivy before the student to attract hate from other students couldn't believe who he saw when he called on her to answer a question. Ivy walked in front of the class, with the history teacher wondering what she must have done to have such different appearance. Such beauty as Ivy possessed were uncommon in the world, he has had of mermaids beauty but seeing Ivy only remind him of one he saw on the seashores when he was a kid. He blinked his eye as he didn't want other student to see him embarrass himself through his endless stares on a student, such action could caused him his job if being reported. Ivy was having having a different confidence had no one will ridicule her today. Now she realises the common phrase " you are addressed base on your looks'" She never imagined looking good could give her so much confidence, she answered the question the teacher asked her and walked to her sit. During launch every student wanted to talk to her, especially the boys. She now has new friends, especially Tana friends who also wanted to talk to her. But she was no fool to allow them be her friends, now that she has experienced a new found glory she would not jeopardize by dining with her enemies. Sitting on the red throne of the high sea coast. Ivy carried her symbol of authority, surrounded by her Lords of the five kingdom who were all in their human form. One thing about mermaids is that they can appear in any form, but while swimming around the shores they stay in their real form which Is the head and body of a human and the tail of a fish. Nara and Ata were present in the meeting and the Queen commanded them to come forward. Nara walked to the front of the throne and kneel before the Queen while Ata bowed in obedience. " Nara and Ata I sent you to the narrow sea to spy on them to know what scheme they are making against our kingdom. Did you succeed in this mission?" "Yes my Queen" they both replied.
