“We don’t have to go anywhere to have a date right? What do you eat?”
“We don’t have to go anywhere to have a date right? What do you eat?”
"Seafood," she says with a goofy wink.
Eli laughed, “Of course you do,”
Moxiey giggled. She felt like she could trust this human. "You can't tell anyone about this," she said, her tone getting quiet and serious.
“That I found a mermaid?!” This was a scientific discovery and an important one at that, this could be a life changing development. What if their blood cured cancer or something?!
"Exactly. You can't tell anyone," she repeated.
“Well why not?” He laughed like it was nothing.
"Because…" she bit her lip. She shouldn't be telling him this.
“Because…..”
"Because…. they'd come for us. Again," she added bitterly.
“Like, hunters or fisherman or something?”
"Uh… Something like that," she said slowly.
“Is it something else?”
"I'm not quite sure who exactly they were. But you can't tell anyone, okay?" she pleaded.
“Okay I understand. I won’t tell anyone…”
"Thank you," she whispered.
He wasn’t sure how to keep a secret like this. His life was devoted to science and this was one of the biggest scientific developments in centuries… “Uhh. Yeah. You’re welcome.”
Moxiey's head jolted up. "Is someone coming?" she asked, worried.
Elijah looked up to see a distant man like figure drawing near. “I think so…”
Moxiey dove back into the water without another word. She hid behind the group of rocks.
Eli laughed and pretended to be working intently in his notebook until he found himself drawing her… never know what you might need later.
Moxiey held her breath nervously.
The man drew closer and more visible. He had silvery grey hair and dark colored eyes that, from a distance, appeared black. Elijah recognized him before either said a word. “Mr. Foster ,” the man spoke with conviction. “What are you doing out here?”
“Me?” Eli responded, “I’m, Uhh, working.”
Moxiey breathed quietly, listening to the words.
“Working on what?” He grabbed the Notebook. “Drawing Mermaids??” He laughed. “How childish, you don’t believe in this stuff do you? As a doctor and a scientist this is ridiculous. When will you grow up?” The man threw the notebook in the sand beside Eli.
