• Since I was old enough to think on my own, I have felt out of place like I don't here or something or that I was different from everyone else in this small town by the sea.
    I just reached my seventh birthday and strange things have been happening to me. I can't explain it but my body is changing like every since I was little I've felt the pull of the ocean esppecial on a full moon its like it is calling to me and now that pull is getting stronger than ever. And ever day I find myself going down to shore by the docks and standing there letting the waves hit my feet and staring at the setting sun.
    I once told my family what was happening and they all stared at me strangely. My brother laughed at me and called me strange, my father ignored it like usual and my mother thought I was playing at some game to get attention. But I wasn't, sometimes I think that they don't care about me at all. Like I am a burden to them. But after that I kept everything that was happening to me to myself.
    When I go to sleep at night I have the same dream repeatedly though I never get to the end of it before I wake up. In my dream I am surrounded by water and swimming around till a light catches my attention I swim over to it and there right before my eyes is a brillant city. It is so pretty the building all shine like crystal and then there are people with fins! Mermaids! As I swim further into the city I am captivated by the ancient beauty of it all. Then something grabs me and I being pulled toward something then all of a sudden I stop and right before my eyes is a brillant castle that shines like pearls and crystal. At the entrance of the castle stands a beautiful mermaid woman and handsome man. She captivates me with her flwing blue hair and stunning green eyes, they speak volumes to me and I feel at home. They both smile lovingly at me and the woman holds out her hand to me and just before I grab the hand I wake up.
    But tonight is a different night and I am free to do what I want and yet I find myself at the shore once again and this time I let myself be pulled into the sea. The moon shines down on me as my body goes under the water and I swim further out as I swim out I feel my body shift I start to breathe under water and my legs start to move as one and I look at them and they are fins. And like in my dreams I see the city and I swim to it and klike in my dream I am at the castle but this time I grab her hand and she pulls me into her arms and he hugs me as well his hand ontop of my head. In this moment I feel at home and at peace with myself and I feel loved for the first time in years.
    Then I hear the simple words being whispered gently into ear. "Your home Aquamarina, My daughter. Your home."
    That's right I think to myself: I'm home. And as of now I am Aquamarina, princess of Atlantis and daughter to King Titus and Queen Aqua.
