Prompt:
You are a sailor sailing aboard a ship belonging to The Order. Though you don't exactly agree with many of The Order's ideals or opinions, joining them was the only one you'd be able to board a ship to feed yourself, since you have no family to rely on anymore. One day, whilst you are out and about, making sure the ship is in peak condition, the helmsman spots a ship off in the distance. A Jolly Roger can be spotted at the top, waving freely in the wind. You and the rest of the crew know what this means: pirates!
You ready yourself for battle as the pirate ship makes a direct course for your ship. Before long, the fight ensues and it's full-blown battle between the men of The Order and the renegade pirates. You fight bravely enough, but you and the crew are hopelessly outnumbered, and in the midst of the battle, you take a gunshot to the chest and fall overboard into the deep water below. You can feel life flowing from your body as blood pours out from the wound you inflicted.
With what little energy you have left, your turn head to the side and look to see what appears to be a humanoid fish swimming towards with a worried look on your face. All you can make out about her before darkness overtakes you is her teeth, which appear to be far sharper than a normal fish...
What do you do?
I close my eyes as I feel two powerful limbs pull me closer towards a rather rough surface. The last sensation I felt before blacking out was a pair of soft lips pressing against my own.
I reopen my eyes on what seems to be days since they last opened. I try to raise myself up,but I fail to do so. I look beside and I see a mermaid sleeping beside me, she is hugging me tight and dangerously close to her breast. Hmmm, hold that thought is she even a mermaid? Looking at her she looks more like a shark more than anything...Mermaid..shark....MERSHARK!. Shit, I curse inwardly.She's gonna have me for lunch, I could feel it. No wonder she's holding me this close, its just like a little girl who has a bag full of her favorite sweets ready to eat them at any time. As soon as this thought entered my mind I begin to struggle,trying to break free from her vicegrip hold. There is no way I'm going to become lunch anytime soon.
My struggling cesed when I feel a sharp twinge of pain eminate from my chest,of which I just noticed is wrapped in bandages. The white fabric turning a dark crimson as my bullet wound reopens,te mershark suddenly opens her eyes. Crap I just sealed my faith, her kind has a keen sense for the scent of blood( The one thing I learned from the order). Argh I'm going to be lunch and no one will even remember me or who I was...no one, I'm all alone... I have nothing to come back to. Maybe its not a bad thing, to be eaten. I'll no longer have to worry about where to get mundane things, I close my eyes, ready to accept whatever faith comes.
Instead of teeth devouring me, I felt the pressure of a kiss falling oupon me. I feel myself calming down, I part my eyelids to see whats happening and I see the mershark removing my bandages,before reaching for a salve and smearing it on my wound. I bite my lips to hold back a hiss of pain.
When she finished treating my wounds, She puts awy her stuff and hugs me closer to her. Of course I resisted, why does she act like we are close.
" Where am i?" I ask the pouting mershark. " We are in my home" she replies, fiddling with her claws.
" Uhuh, and how did I get here?" I look at her shes now biting her lips as she looks away.
" You were bleeding so I wen't to help you, I gave you air till a sea bishop arrived to help you breath after that......."
" What?"
" I brought you home to treat your injuries "
I blinked, so she saved my life? Damn I guess the things about mamono that the order crammed in our heads wasn't all true then. I look at her directly in her eyes and sigh.
" Thanks I guess, anyway whats your name?"
" Rachie..."
" Hi, I'm Caiber thanks again again for saving me. But why did you help me? If it not obvious over the insignia on my shoulder. Why did you help an Order Knight?" I ask out of the blue
" Hmmm...?" The mershark words, looking at her she's not something terrible to the eyes. Long Indigo hair held in a hair ornament of teeth, pale greyish blue skin, pretty feminine eyes and a lot of bountiful curves. I don't know for how long I stared at her,before snapping back to reality by her blushing.
Going back to my question earlier she responds rather shyly.
" I can't leave someone wounded like that, besides.....your cute"
After saying the last bit she becomes bright red and she begins to stutter
" N-no tha-tah-thats no-not what Imeantt...you-you are just-"
I silence her with a finger, and straighten my position. " *sigh* Nothing more needs to be said, you helped me and that is that." I pull my finger from her lips and I stand up. " Anyhow thanks for saving me Rachie, but I really need to be going"
Before I could stand Rachie grabs my arm,with a worried epression on her face.
" Don't go out, it's dangerous out now. Its night time so it is a feeding frenzy outside, not to mention single mamono looking for a husband"
I open my mouth to protest,but she has a fair point going out now would mean a untimely fate. I sigh as a trudge to a chair. Looking around us I could see that her home is a old sunken ship, looks a bit ricketybut otherwise sturdy. Also a few planks are innaproprietly hammered on a few holes. Man this place needs some serious repairs, plus isn't this a little too big for herself?
" Such a big place for you.." I gesture around us " Do you live alone?"
As she hears this she visibly shrinks, she looks away with tears starts to well in her eyes. I shift uncomfortably, I didn't mean for such a cute girl to gry. I scoot oever to her and pet her head
" Sorry if I said anything that reminded you of something personal" I say while rubbeng her hair. She looks at me and she wipes her tears.
" No its Ok, I'm all alone here. My parents were killed by order soldierrs back when I was a shark pup."
I stare at her and cease my head patting, instead I pull her in a hug. Rubbing her back as I do so, moment later I could feel a sharp twinge on my shoulder, followed by a wave o pleasure. I look a her and it looks like she had her way with my shoulder. Releasing her from my embrace I stare at her, She cast a toothy grin before locking my lips against hers, my hands instinctively wrap around her.
I break the kiss and slowly bring my lips against her neck running my tongue at the nape of her neck. She gasps and her claws dig themselves at my back. Paying no heed to the pain I pin her down, and we begin making love.
At first I go at a slow rythym, a bit unsure if I'm hurting her or not. A alluring moan answers my doubts and I begin to ravish her. Nearing my peak I look at her, an expression cotorted by ectasy. Smiling I lock lips with her and I came inside of her. Not too soon after she did the same. Grabbing the back of my neck she pulls me close to her bossom and bites one of my ears. I gasp from the pleasure and pain and when the last bit of my seed is pumped into her I collapse on top of her. I roll over and pull her on top of me and I let sleep lull me into to the land of dreams.
The next day I wake up,but not in a empty bed like I'm used to. From now on I won't ever be alone,not when I have Rachie with me.
