When Emma fell asleep, she had been cozy in her bed, nestled and curled up tightly as she always was, sleeping pleasantly in the warmth of her bed. When she woke? She definitely was not in her bed.
She shifted and turned over.. only to find that she was entirely submerged under water. Her first instinct was to hold her breath, trying to kick from the floor of the lake.. except her body wasn’t moving right. She looked down, beginning to panic.. except she didn’t have legs!! Her legs were entirely gone, replaced by a long mermaid tail, one that was admittedly a very beautiful combination of a golden yellow and blue, the webbing at the very end flowing gracefully with the rhythm of the water.
Her lungs couldn’t hold it much longer, finding herself taking in a sudden breath.. and nothing happening. The oddest sensation of water flowing from her neck had her hand rising to feel along the sensitive gills that had came up. She reached up from there to feel at her head… and found nothing. Well then..
It took he a bit before she finally got the hang of her tail, but soon she was at the surface, looking around, spying a pile of clothing there.. oh thank god! She swam forward, reaching for it without leaving the water, scooting back as soon as she grabbed her phone..
The call to Damien had been an interesting one, honestly. She couldn’t explain just what happened, couldn’t really calm her ass down to begin with to explain it properly.. and the worst part? She didn’t really know exactly where she was to begin with! Though she was able to describe the area well enough to likely give him a decent idea.
She had settled into the shallow end of the water, keeping herself scarce and relatively hidden as she waited for her mate..
