The Merman, My Man by Black Velvet Chapter 12

“A storm! “

“A storm is coming! “

The crew shouted from outside. The boat started shaking even more violently than before.

It seemed that Gary had exited the bathroom, so I quickly got dressed. I hid in my cabin and locked the

cabin door from the inside.

The storm came too suddenly, even professional sailors couldn’t predict its arrival.

With the chaotic winds outside, the rain droplets slammed onto the windows and its trails could be seen

against the clear glass.

Suddenly, I saw a dark silhouette speed past my window. Its speed was shocking, unlike the speed of a

normal human being. I thought it was just something being blown away by the wind.

All of a sudden, I saw a hand similar to a human’s stuck on the window, the spaces between its five

fingers were connected with skin.

That was a merperson’s webbed claw!

But the moment I blinked, the hand disappeared as if I had hallucinated it. I attentively looked at the

window and traced the area where the hand was. But all that was left were the streaks of rain droplets.

Was I seeing things because I was too tired? I was definitely exhausted. I had been through so much in

just the past several hours, so much so that my head felt heavy.

If I were to get on deck in this situation, I would only add to the troubles of the crew. I may as well rest,

after all I would still need to face Gary after I woke up.

I tiredly closed my eyes and drifted off to sleep.

After sleeping for what felt like an eternity, I felt a chilly gust of wind against my skin causing me to

wake up. Some time during my sleep, my window had opened and the sea breeze was blowing into my

cabin.

I sneezed due to the cold so I got off the bed to close the window. While doing so, I saw the clock on

the wall, and it was barely past six in the morning. I had only slept for half an hour?

How did the weather become like this? The cabin was lit with a red afterglow, and the storm outside

seemed to have calmed. It was also suspiciously quiet.

Suddenly, I felt like there was something behind me! In the dimness of the room, I faintly saw the

shadow of something that shouldn’t be in my room. I turned to look at it clearer and I was

dumbfounded.

Was I dreaming? What was a merman doing in my cabin?

I panicked. This wasn’t the tranquilized merman, it wasn’t the merman in the tank. It was a different

merman that somehow appeared in my room!

He could battle a shark, its combative abilities were unparalleled. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

When the merman realized that I saw him, a hoarse voice rose from his throat.

“Li-n-da.“

What? Did I hear him correctly? Was the merman saying my name? It wasn’t clear, but I could faintly

hear the syllables that made up my name.

As I stood there stunned, the merman stood in front of me, looking down at me from above.

With the courage, energy, and speed that came out of nowhere, I pushed the window open and

escaped the cabin.

“Help! Someone help me! “ I screamed.

I frantically tried to search for the crew but I couldn’t find anyone. Even Gary was missing. It seemed

like I was the only one aboard this boat.

Of course, there was also that weird merman!

“Li-n-da.“

The merman’s voice kept following me, now he was really shouting my name!

Oh my god! How did he know my name!

I wanted to head to the navigation room to survey the situation. There must be someone there! I

clumsily made my way up the ladder to the navigation room. In my panicked frenzy, my foot slipped

and I fell backward. But just when I thought I was about to receive bone -shattering injuries, the pain

did not come. I felt a gust of wind behind me. Something held onto my waist and I slowly started to

slide downward. After that, I collapsed onto a wet and slippery, but strong fishtail.
