My name is Valacorum, today is my 21'st birthday. As soon as the sun rose I was up and wandering the edge of the El Yunque Rainforest, Puerto Rico. My species wouldn't normally get up until around sunset, but today is a bit different. It's a little hard to get out of my bubble sometimes, especially when it is incredibly easy to get overwhelmed when I go in or near a city on rare occasions, or with loud vibrations around. I am great at making friends, just not at keeping them for a long time whether by sudden periods of isolation, or an insatiable appetite...
My best friend Dean has been one of the few people in my life who has stuck around despite my species nature, he is a peculiar oddity. I headed down to the docks where he stood at the end of the boardwalk and pier. Once I reached him, he put his arm around my shoulders loosely. Upon seeing my expression he asked or rather pointed out to me, that I seemed a bit too lost.
You know I'm certainly willing to keep you for myself, but that certainly isn't in the cards. Although I do want to take as much advantage of you as I can, do you want to go on an ocean trip for the day with me?
"You know there is no need to make fun of my situation." I looked back towards my house in Luquillo several miles away, which I could only see because an Arachne's eyesight is the best out of any spiders.
I hanged my head and ended up agreeing to go along with Dean's crazy idea. Dean tends to be a bit tricky and manipulative. Even for a human he loves ambushing people. He decided that I needed some fresh air and took me out on his boat which I was still pretty nervous about. I've always been uneasy about the ocean just as most Arachne are. He likes to try to push me to get over my fears, like I said I tend to be an occasional isolationist.
At 10 in the morning we were 16 miles off the coast into open water, and the waves were rocking the boat spraying mist into our faces. As we approached the Grave Sirens Reef I began to smell something really unusual yet sweet. Suddenly there was a large cracking sound from the hull of the boat, water had begun to pour inside. Startled, we tried to regain our bearings so that the two of us could quickly run to get our life jackets on before the boat completely sank leaving us stranded.
A short bit later a figure appeared out of the water bobbing up and down off the starboard side of the ship. He was a merman, I screamed out terrified. I realized the wonderful smell was coming from him and I hated it. This couldn't be happening, I'd heard the legends. Legends about different Supernatural's becoming the mates of merman, These creatures were monsters. I shouted loudly at him to keep his distance, but the creature decided to swim closer to me.
"I've been waiting quite a while for you, and it seems that you are an Arachne, what an interesting coincidence that this might just make things easier down the road for us. It's time for me to initiate the bond transformation to turn you, so you'll be mine forever."
"Hey Valacorum, what's going on between you two, and what is he?"
He's a monster Dean, nothing ever good comes from one of them. Mermen are the archenemy of all supernatural's. "You ain't dragging me to the bottom of the ocean." Gosh how am I supposed to get out of this? I wish that I could think of something, but my head is starting to get foggier thanks to the frigid cold water.
"It's cute that you think that you have a choice in this." He laughed, smiling at me. He swam up to me, pressing his lean muscular body up against mine. Our bodies were molding together even as I struggled to escape his surprisingly warm embrace, even though he probably lived deep under the ocean. His skin was a dark tan complimenting his wavy cobalt blue hair.
He pressed a long deep kiss to my lips causing me to begin the transformation. You see merman when they find their mates they transform them from the species they were born as, into one of their own, it's their special gift. I tried pushing him away again, but he had wrapped his long tail around me squeezing me so I couldn't move.
"There's no avoiding your transformation now." He started pressing himself harder up against me and started to let us sink as he covered my mouth with his making it so that I could only breathe the air that he would let me until the transformation was complete. I felt like I was melting into him and with the surrounding water feeling all warm and bubbly as my vision blacked out. I began to have less and less strength to fight against him.
I can't believe this is happening to me. My legs began to feel sticky as it was getting harder to swish them back and forth, until finally I couldn't move them at all. I opened my eyes to find the transformation was complete, I'd become one of them. I felt like I was betraying my species, these parasites known as merman.
Although before I could process anything else his pheromones hit me full force which was I was unprepared for. Slowly I lost consciousness, his face drifting out of view.
