The Surfer and the Merman CH 32
The sky was a perfect shade of blue. It was entirely one solid color, with no clouds or fog to discolor the intense shade. It seemed to stretch out forever, but it eventually connected with the dark indigo of the ocean's horizon. There were no waves, just a slow, steady rocking. It was calm, peaceful, and still.
An impressive ship rested motionless on the water. A young man stood upon the deck, his arms rested on the railing as he stared at the deep pool below. I

Skye had his eyes locked on Hart, who was navigating the ship to an unknown location. He appeared to be lost in thought, and acted like his captives weren't even there with him. The blonde was tied to a chair with a large distance separating him and the mermen. He was unable to get closer to them and attempt a rescue because the chair was connected to the ship.
"What am I going to do?" the young man thought. His eyes came back to Cyan and the other merman. The poor merboy's eyes were red and puffy from crying. Cyan's worried eyes caught his own.
"It'll be okay," Skye told him, but he had no plans of escape. He looked back up at Hart, who ha

Hart, lost in thought, stood behind the wheel of his ship. He didn't need to steer, so his hands lay rested on the wheel. His crew was at work beneath him, making a lot of noise as they always do. To the right of him stood Ince, clothed in a white, loose dress. They had pillaged it earlier, but it was worthless up until this point. Once worn by Ince, it looked like it could have belonged to royalty. Hart admired him as Ince stared out into the horizon.
"What is on your mind?" Hart asked with a warm smile on his face.
Ince turned around to face him, his dress twirling in the process.
"My brother..." Ince began.
"You have siblings?" Hart qu

Skye awoke for the second time that night. Even with his eyes now open, it didn't help because it was too dark to see. He felt the ropes around his body that bound him, but he was still too dazed from the drug to panic. His droopy head turned from side to side as he tried to take in his surroundings. Judging by the darkness and the sound of the waves, Skye could tell that he was indoors and on the water. But most importantly, he was alone.
With his legs the only part of his body that was free, Skye was able to rise to his feet. The young man's eyes finally adjusted and was surprised to see that everything in the room was modern. Even though

"Skye!"
Skye opened his eyes from his dreamless sleep, only to see more darkness.
"Skye!"
He sat up and hit the leaves above him with his head. His eyes began to adjust to the darkness and was able to realize where he was.
"What is it, Cyan?" Skye called out. His partner was not beside him.
As Skye crawled out of the miniature fort, he noticed how he wasn't drowsy. He must have just have fallen asleep for an hour or so before being woken up.
As he walked across the sand he called again for the merman. His eyes still hadn't adjusted to the absolute darkness. Since they were on a deserted island, the only light they had was from the moon

Skye and Cyan were sitting in the bathtub with their backs resting against the wall. This bathtub was smaller than the one at Skye's parents' house, so Skye had his legs dangling over the edge, while Cyan did the same with his fish tail. The whole bathroom was smaller than the previous one, but Skye knew that it was the best he could do with the short time he was given to find a new place to live. The sound of drops of water falling from their legs and tail echoed through the room as the two sat in silence. They both had decided that they were going to discuss their plans about what to do with Nagisa, Zain, Arun, and of course, Hart. However,

The crashing of the waves against the rocks beneath them startled Skye, but he didn't loose his grip. Skye and Cyan were descending down a steep cliff to the ocean below. It was far too steep to simply walk down, so they had to rock climb to the bottom. The blonde looked up at his companion above him, who was having more difficulty with his lack of experience with using his legs. Skye was more worried about the ocean below than his rock climbing ability. If he were with any other person, he would have declined to the idea of this little adventure, but since it was Cyan, he knew they both would be safe from drowning. The merman had saved him i

"Where did those three boys go?" Gwen asked just as Skye and Cyan were at the front door of the shop, ready to leave.
"Uh... they went home..." Skye lied, although it was partly true. He didn't make eye contact with his cousin so that she might assume he was too busy to talk.
"Home? But you told me they were homeless." Gwen continued to ask and one of her eyebrows rose in puzzlement.
"They bought a new home," Skye gave his cousin a poor lie, and Cyan turned away from Gwen to hide his unease.
"Surely not from the money they got from working from me! I barely paid them anything! They barely EARNED anything," Gwen brought her hands to her hi

"Cyan, look at the horizon."
Cyan's head rose from the surface of the water. He brushed back his wet black hair with his fingers so that he could see clearly. At first, he stared at his companion who was resting on a large rock, just barely above the water. Despite the longer hair, the other merman looked almost like a mirror image of Cyan. However, their expressions were not the same. Cyan looked concerned, for there was a large ship approaching in the distance, while the other boy had a defiant smirk across his face as he stared at the threatening ship.
"It's still after us..." Cyan said as he eventually spotted the black sails in the dis

Walking hand in hand, Skye and Cyan returned from their date at the aquarium. As they approached the antique shop, they spotted Nagisa and Zain walking towards them from the opposite direction. Skye and Cyan were dressed in their winter clothes, but Nagisa and Zain mysteriously had hints of sunburn across their skin. Once they reached the front door of the shop, they froze in place as the realization hit them.
"You were...." Cyan began.
"....gone too?" Nagisa finished.
All four of them entered the shop, expecting the worst. Fortunately, the shop was just as they had left it. Gwen smiled at them from behind the register and greeted them as
