You try to row the reft away, but it is no use. She is bigger and faster, and in mere seconds she snatches you up.

She eyes you for a moment, looking you over, liking what she is seeing as she liks her lips. Her skin is a pale blue from hat you can see up close, compared to your ghostly white right now. As for her eyes, you stare into them. They have a star pupil insteadof the normal round one humans have. In short, she looks different... but incredibly SEXY!

"YES." Her voice booms. "YOU ARE PERFECT. COME, I WILL TAKE YOU TO MY CASTLE, AND YOU WILL FEED ME."

As scared as you are, you cannot help but want to go with her. Why? You are not sure. You descend slowly into the water, the tiny mermaid giggling beside you as you go under. Amazingly, you find yourself able to breathe under the waves. She swims down, down, down with you in her hand, clenched tight but not too tight, toward a large, beautiful castle made of seashells and coral. She swims in, several of the tiny mermaids looking at you with curiousity. Undine smiles at you.

"YOU KNOW, YOU ARE PRETTY SKINNY." She says, looking at you. "IN EXCHANGE FOR BEING MY MEAL, I WILL GRANT YOU A LAST ONE IF YOU WISH. JUST PICK HER OUT, AND SHE IS YOURS."

You look at Undine. 'You would feed your own subjects to me... just for your benefit?" You are clearly confused.

"YES. AND YOU WILL SEE WHY WHEN I EAT YOU. LET'S JUST SAY YOU WILL BE IN FOR A PLEASANT SUPRISE. SO, DECIDE."

You consider. She will eat you anyway, so you might as well enjoy this. But then again it may be a test. You are unsure.

They look cutely at you. Just one would be a feast if you ate her, and they all look tasty...
