A Baby For Billionaire Knox

THEME: Scylla is Alive!

IN THE MERWORLD

“Almeta, let us go and play with the other mermaids.” Adamaris swims towards her.

“No, I can’t go out to play today.” Almeta replied.

“Why?” Adamaris raised his eyebrows. It was the first time Almeta was declining an offer to play with the other mermaids.

“I have to visit Wanwisa with my mother.” Almeta lied.

“But.. your mother said you could come with me to play.” Adamaris frowned at her words.

“Well you can go ahead.. I’ll join you later.” Almeta began to swim away.

“But why not now? Are you lying to me, Almeta?” Adamaris pestered.

“Silly questions! I don’t want to play around the sea today!” Almeta barked at him.

Adamaris was stunned by her sudden outburst. “Almeta-”

“Go away! I don’t want to play with the other mermaids! You all suck!” Almeta swims away.

“Almeta!” Adamaris screamed. “I am sorry!” He apologized.

“Go away!” Almeta snapped back at him.

“Forgive me!” Adamaris said.

Almeta didn’t respond. She swims away quickly so he won’t be able to follow her. And secretly Almeta made her way to the dark cave of scylla when she was sure no one was following her. She peeped into the cave and saw a shinning light.

“Wow! It is a pearl!” Almeta exclaimed as she entered into the cave.

“No Almeta! Don’t go in!” Adamaris screamed but she was already in it.

Adamaris had followed her because she acted suspiciously and he figured that she had lied about visiting Wanwisa with her mother.

“There is a sea monster in it!” Adamaris couldn’t go into the cave to stop her or else he would be trapped in it too.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

“I only see a beautiful pearl you fool!” Almeta screamed back at him as she swims farther into the cave.

She ignored his calls and reached out to touch the Pearl. “Wow.. this is so beautiful.” Then the light faded slowly leaving the cave in darkness.

“Where did it go?” Almeta pondered.

The sea monster nostrils smelled her scent. The little mermaid scent filled him and strengthened him a bit. But the sea monster wanted more. He wanted to taste the little mermaid to renew his strength.

Almeta searched for the pearl she had seen until she touched a rough surface- the sea monster’s nose!

Scylla knew it was a mermaid in his cave! And his eyes flare open immediately. “Hello little one.” Scylla’s deep voice greeted her.

Almeta screamed in fear when she saw his crimson eyes. “Thank you for coming in here to say hello to me.” Scylla smelled her gently.

“Almeta.” He said at the sight of the lines of pearls on her tail.

“Who are you?” Almeta demanded.

“Scylla. You wanted my pearl right? But I can’t give it to you.” He said in a harsh tone.

Almeta tried to escape but he grabbed her. “Somebody help!” She screamed out.

Adamaris moved away when he heard her voice. “Al.. me.. ta..” He mumbled as fear gripped him.

“Please.. spare.. me.” Almeta pleaded.

“Scylla is alive!” The Sea monster screamed. His voice echoed under the sea and then he devoured Almeta. Her screams echoed in Adamaris ears.

“Scylla is alive!” The sea monster roared and it affected the balance of the sea.

Adamaris knew the sea monster had devoured Almeta. He was scared! He alerted the other mermaids around about the sea monsters as he made his way to the palace.

“Scylla is alive!” Adamaris cried out.

There was commotion in the sea. The mermaids and mermen rushed to their houses when they heard Scylla’s roars from the cave.

Adamaris wept as he told Oceanus about Scylla.

“Arran!” Oceanus called out to one of the princes.

And the rest of the princes filed into the throne hall. They already heard about Scylla at their offices.

“The sea monster is awake!” Morrissey said.

“Yes Scylla devoured his little friend.” Oceanus pointed at Adamaris.

The little merman couldn’t stop his tears at the lose of his dear friend. She was gone.

“We can’t let him into the main hall of the sea.” Azizi replied

“Where is Abijam?” Aztec Demanded.

“He just left a while ago.” Oceanus answered.

“Get him Morgan.” Morrissey ordered.

“Aztec gather everyone to the Kaimana and let them know Scylla is alive. No one should be seen outside the main hall of the sea.” Morrissey gave out instructions to his brothers.

“Alright ” Aztec bowed and left the throne hall.

“Meredydd and Arran seal up the main hall gates!” Morrissey ordered again.

They all departed to do as Morrissey ordered.

“Azizi get the other officials. We need to have a meeting.” Morrissey added.

Azizi bowed and exited the room.

IN HUMAN WORLD

“Somebody help!” The little voice echoed in her ears. She swims faster to save the little mermaid that was caught in a sea trap.

“Hold on.” She tried to save her but something struck her from behind. She turned but saw nothing. And before she could face the little mermaid, she was dead. The water around her was bloody.

She moved back and screamed at the sight of the mermaid. She had been sliced up into two.

“Somebody help!” She heard another voice again.

But this time in a different location. She was transported to a half dried lake. It was filled with mermaids. They had bloodstains and wounds all over them. They were horrible looking.

And she felt bile rose up in her throat at the sight.

“Please save us.” A mermaid grabbed her ankle and tried to pull her into the lake.

“Let me go!” She struggled to free herself.

“You belong here! Come and save us!” The mermaid begged with blood dripping down her cheeks.

“Come and save us!” They chorused.

“No.. no.. I am a human!” She screamed back.
