Jen liked the feeling of being able to sing without being judged. She only had time to scream before she fell under. Something was pulling on her leg and digging into her skin. She choked and sputtered, her lungs quickly filling with water, as she looked down to look at her captor.
A mermaid. Wait a second, a mermaid?! Those were only supposed to be at the brook!
Two more swam up and grabbed her arms, making the pull down faster. She knew that she was about to be drowned when her locket floated out from her neck and opened. There was a glowing light coming from it and then Jen gasped and started breathing hard.
Wait, breathing underwater? Was this her locket?
The Mermaids, enraged, hissed and started to cut Jen with their nails, the one who was watching her with both hand and the other one's with one hand, because they were still holding her. Jen screamed, but it only came out as a few large bubbles.
I'm surely going to die, it's the middle of the night, who would be at the lake?
