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. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

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.

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.
