MELISSA
She is a mermaid
Melissa what are you doing in there, I heard the princess Luciana calling out to me and I immediately swam out of the room. "Am sorry my princess I'm just arranging the room" I said to her and she rolled her eyes sitting down and ordering me to fix her hair.
My name is Melissa and I'm a blued tail mermaid slave. I work in the palace as the princess Luciana's maid. I was taken in as a palace slave when my mother committed a crime. She fell in love with a human and got pregnant for the human an act which is a crime in Atlantica.
Going to the shores were prohibited and anyone found were punished severely but in my mother's case she was always going out to the shore to meet up with her human lover after she saved him from drowning they fell in love with each other and she sneaks out to the shore to meet with him. During one of our escapades, she was caught by The palace guard and brought to the King he threw her into a dungeon and after few months they found that she was pregnant and her punishment worsened.
After giving birth to the baby which was me, they killed her. Yes they murdered my mother just because she fell in love how can they kill a woman because you chose to be with a human this is a terrible act of wickedness and I hate the king for that. They handed me over to the palace chief maid when I grow up a bit, they took me in as a slave to continue from my mother's punishment ever since then I have been in bondage I don't get to explore like my fellow mermaids.
I am always in the palace serving the princess and taking all sorts of insult from her. Well that will be over soon in few weeks time because I will be turning 18 and freed, I plan on visiting the shore to explore and have a look at the human world. The truth is after I heard my mother's story I wanted to visit the shore and see what humans look like.
"What are you doing" Luciana yelled and I came back to my senses I'm sorry my princess I said and started fixing the pearls on her hair. Soon I was done fixing her hair and she ordered me to pick out the best glow polish to Polish her red tails.
I left and went into her luxury decorated room to pick out a glow red Polish and started polishing her tails to give it a glowing sparkle. Luciana is a spoilt princess who takes everybody as trash and she has no regards to people she feels too full of herself because she gets whatever things she wants at a snap of her hands. I envy her a little because ever since I was born I have been suffering haven't had a taste of motherhood no one to run to I've been depressed so many times and I've learnt to live with it.
