Liddell Wonders

Whisper

“Are you the ghosts of this island?” a voice says behind us, making us both jump, spin around. I take a step closer to the fire while Ghost stays where he is, extending one hand back, not to me, but to the fire, ready to use it as a weapon if we need to.

“Who are you?” I whisper, eyes wide. I’ve never seen a mer on land before. his legs hae scales the same color his fin was. How long as he been here? His hair looks dry, soft and feathery.

He smiles a little bit, looking at me. “My name’s Adrian,” he tells us, glancing between ghost and I. His gaze sweeps over us, taking in our odd appearences. “What are your names?” he asks.

Ghost doesn’t say anything. He doesn’t look at me, but I know he’s waiting for me to make the call. Decide whether or not we tell this boy -- Adrian -- our names. Whether or not we tell him anything at all. For a minute, I don’t say anything. I just wish Nymeria or Aerys or Mylla or Mimsy was here to make the decision for me.

Adrian

I watch my fin transform into a pair of legs once I’m dry enough. The scales are still there, but now I can walk on land. I get up, brushing the sand off myself, and look around. There’s a small path not far away, so I head towards it, stumbling slightly the first few steps, not entirely used to my leg anymore. Thinking back, I”m not sure of the last time I was on land, it’s been so long.

About halfway up the short path, I’ve gained my bearings enough to look around properly. The path slopes up, and even though I can see it’s not long, I can’t see where it ends yet. There’s not a lot of flora on this island, so I can still see the ocean, a fact that’s slightly comforting.

From the water, I could tell that there aren’t any buildings n this island, making it unlikely that anyone is there. That’s what I tell myself, anyway, as I reach the top of the path, where it ends in a small open flat field, and stop dead in my tracks.

I press my shaking hand against my mouth when I hear a voice. They’re close now, someone actually came to the island. I look at Ghost, my eyes wide, unsure what to do. But he’s not looking at me, not looking at anything in particular. Just staring out through the brush, eyes narrowed slightly. He doesn’t know what to do either.

The two of us wait for several minutes, listening for any other noise. There’s nothing but silence though. “Do you think he left?” I whisper to Ghost, who nods. 

“Probably,” he says, the first to creep carefully forward, looking out before crawling out of the brush. “No one’s here.”

“What fool would come here anyway?” I let out a relieved breath as I come out of our hiding spot.

“Maybe they did forget,” Ghost says again, only this time it’s not meant to be reassuring. This is our island, the only safe place we have in the world. It won’t stay that way if people start coming here again. With a simple gesture, Ghost relights the fire in the center of the flat part of our small island, and we both sit beside it.

I surface again, close to the island now, just before the sand comes up close enough to make it difficult to swim. Better to keep a short distance, at first, to see what or who else is around. Seeing no one at first, I circle the island, keeping the distance. The wisp of smoke I saw before is gone. Had I only imagined it?

“Hello?” I call, not sure if I’m really expecting -- or wanting -- an answer. When I don’t get one, I swim to shore, pulling myself up onto the sand and sitting on the shore, waiting for the seawater to wash off me so I can take a better look around.

Whisper

“Why don’t you go?” Ghost asks when he catches me staring out at the other islands again -- especially the big one, with all the buildings.

I cast a glance in his direction, resisting the urge to roll my eyes. “They think us ghosts already.”

“They think us ghosts because we act like ghosts.”

I can’t help but smile, “Maybe you’re right, Ghost.” He smiles, rolling his eyes at me, and shakes his head. I turn my gaze back to the other islands.

“It’s been a long time,” Ghost says after a minute. “Maybe they’ve forgotten about us.”

I shake my head though, “You know very well that they never forget. Stories live on for centuries, millennia.” I almost say more, but movement in the water catches my eye. I take a few steps forward, looking closer, knowing it’s probably just a fish, but too careful to leave it at a simple assumption.

“Sister?” Ghost asks from behind me, sensing something amiss. “What is it?”

I don’t answer right away, not until I”m sure. And then I see a flash of white hair, tan torso, before a long purple fin. “Someone’s coming, from the water!” I say qucikly, turning and rushing towards the brush against the rocks, the only decent hiding place. Ghost waves his hand as he jumps to his feet, using his magic to choke the air from the fire, instantly snuffing it, before following me.

Adrian

I grew up in the waters of a cluster of islands. The land was filled with superstitious people. They didn’t know mers existed, but that didn’t stop them from having plenty of stories and myths about us. We’re not that superstitious, but there is one story that’s passed down through generations. One small island we’re warned never to go to.

It’s said to be cursed and haunted. Anyone who goes there, mer or human, never comes back. According to the stories. Whether or not it’s true, I don’t know for sure. The stories have been enough to keep people, in water or on land, away for at least as long as I’ve been alive.

But something about the island sparks my curiosity. Whenever I surface, I can’t help but stare over at the island, wondering what happens tehre that scares our two different species so much. Was it ghosts? Or something darker? Was it anything at all anymore? Is that a trail of smoke coming from the island?

Maybe it was time for someone to find out if it was still dangerous.
