Serena the Mermaid by Jennifer Trevino (the kiss of deception read online .txt) 📖

            Serena was stunned that Lucius was here in land; he had two legs just as her and was dressing in dark colors his hair pulled back. He smiled widely showing a pair of pearl teeth and took her hand in his, pulling her up with ease.

            Lucius led her to the dance floor and bowed gracefully, Serena curtsied like Prince James had taught her. He put his hand on her waist, and she put her hand on his broad shoulder, and linked their other hands together. They moved in a slow rhythm the crowd watching as the Prince’s guest danced with a handsome stranger.

              “You dance remarkably for a beginner,” he said his tone tinted with sarcasm. Her slipper once again stepped on his toe and he smirked at her clumsiness, she was indeed amusing.

            “Why are you here?” She questioned her eyes narrowing into slits, she wouldn’t mention it but she liked the warm feeling of his hand on her. “Are you here to witness the Prince kissing me and making my wish come true?” Serena inquired.

            “Sweetheart,” he began suddenly his eyes closed and she found his hand tightening on her waist and hand. His eyes fluttered open and red blazing eyes gazed at her, “I came here to steal you.”

            All hell broke loose as he brought her body against hers and closed the distance between them, his lips once again meeting her own. The music came to a screeching halt and Prince James stood up in disbelief his face furious, everyone gasped and watched as Lucius claimed her lips.

            Serena blushed thinking it odd that she didn’t dislike his lips rather she liked them too much, and was frightened by the effect he had on her. She put her hands on his chest and struggled to push him away, but her efforts were in vain.

            The old grandfather clock struck midnight and the booming alert rebounded off the pale walls. It was like a fairy tale as Fionna dropped to the floor and instead of her two slender legs she had her blue scaly tail in display.

            Everyone shrieked and screamed in shock and Serena glanced at the Prince who stood frozen just a few meters away, his disgusted expression clear to her eye. She felt tears whelm in her eyes and felt Lucius grab her arm pulling her up, he pressed her against his chest.

            “Goodbye dear Prince, I will be taking Serena here,” Lucius grinned elatedly he too had transformed into his sea form. “Forever,” he added and then everything around her swirled uncontrollably and she was sucked back to his dark cave.

            Nobody knows whatever happened to the love struck mermaid and the dark wizard, but some say they live a passionate life together. She realized her feelings for him and he soon admitted that he loved her, and they became a loving couple. Others say she was turned into an eel and became his minion or a sacrifice like many others. But I will leave that to your imagination, since it would be a long story until they will ever admit their love for each other.

            Who says the girl doesn’t end up with the bad guy?
