Mating Frenzy - Closed Group Starter w/ @the-mind-of-xelyn, @the-wonder-wall, & @shotdownbutstillalive
It was a minor volunteer job. Nothing major. She wasn’t entirely sure why she took it, but Howard was a mutual friend of her sister’s, so Rachel didn’t mind. After all, the two got along fairly decently, even though the divide between them was as large as the wealth gap.
Literally. Howard was a multi-millionaire while Rachel was lucky to be considered middle class.
But the job description was decent and she admittedly was curious about the creatures he’d kept. He sounded incredibly passionate about the mythical creatures and he did express that if he hadn’t known that Rachel also had a passion for nature and wildlife that he would’ve asked someone else.
There was admittedly a nice appreciation about the whole thing.
But once she was actually doing said job, she began to notice a lot of things that were...off.
First off, Howard wouldn’t let her into the bottom floor. Which, ordinarily, she wouldn’t have questioned. After all, privacy was privacy and she wasn’t one to cross those kinds of boundaries. But if she wanted a better idea of how to take care of the creatures, she should at least see them from below.
But he wouldn’t let her. That was concerning.
However, when she was above the tank, she was never close enough for them to touch. She could barely even get a good look at them. He kept them all well out of her reach. But whenever she did have the courage to peer in, she noticed that the walls of the tank were...nonexistent. They seemed to go on forever, like the sea would. But that would have to be impossible.
She had an idea of why...but why would Howard build the tank that way?
Third, anytime she peered over the edge, Howard warned her not to get too close. He warned them that they were a bit aggressive and would attack if she got too close. She wasn’t actually sure that she believed him. While they never spoke, at least as far as she knew, she was certain they understood her. At least...they seemed to.
Outside of her job looking after them and taking care of them, Howard was really touchy when it came to the subject of them. It was off-putting and Rachel was wondering if this job was worth it. Howard paid her decently well, so she really couldn’t complain that much.
Until that one fateful day. When Rachel was standing near the edge, going about her business as usual. The night prior when she was working longer than usual, Howard was out of his manor. She had never thought to before while he was there, so she decided to sneak downstairs.
What she discovered was that the tank was one-way. Inside it was a projection of a continuation of the ocean. The sea creatures’ natural habitat. But inside, it was like ordinary glass.
Venturing further downstairs was a secret bedroom. Inside it was a singular tank separated from the others. It stood in front of the bed and inside it was a mer. An android mer. Her green scaly tail and curly red hair and wine red lips made her look like she was plucked right out of a storybook. Her green eyes pierced into Rachel’s soul and all at once, she understood everything she needed to understand. This wasn’t just an appreciation. This was an obsession. An unhealthy and all encompassing obsession.
She thought she snuck out unnoticed. She thought she was careful. She thought she went unseen.
She must have been wrong.
Because all of a sudden, she was flung over the rail and into the tank with several mers he’d warned her were dangerous. Breaching the water, she looked up, expecting to see Howard looking down at her, but he wasn’t. There was no one there.
She was treading water in the tank with dangerous sea creatures who were likely going to eat her like she was nothing more than chum.
She was all alone.
