Snippet #2714693

A net was tossed over the mermaid's head before she could try to reach out again, which instantly pulled her back into the water. The bucket was tossed onto the dock a moment later, in need of being filled again.

Atticus climbed out after a bit of vigorous splashing happened beneath the surface, the mermaid struggling slightly in his arms. An unsightly gash tore up her side from the bottom of her seashell bra to where her tail met torso. A few other cuts littered her arms and tail, but there didn't seem to be any blood. He frowned down at the fish girl for a moment, whispering something in her ear and causing her to fall asleep almost instantly.

"Much better," he said with a smirk, adjusting his grip and glancing towards Angelina. "Fun part's over, time to go wake up sleeping beauty so he can fix the Loch Ness Monster."
