Ever since you were a young child, you loved the ocean. You swam in it, looked at it and enjoyed everything it had to offer. You loved the tiny jellyfish floating around, the small fish tickling your feet and the waves greeting you body every time you went in.
But there was one thing you particularly liked about the ocean. You didn’t really know what, or rather who, it was. But it was beautiful and mysterious. You saw it once in a while - long silky hair, a soft pastel glow and a seemingly worried look upon its face. You only called it ‘it’, because it didn’t look like either a fish nor a human. It was.. Special.
Over time you became more and more curious about this pastel creature, but it always held a safe distance from you, only a head peeking up from behind the bigger waves. And always out in the deeper part of the ocean, parts you liked but didn’t really explore. You could swim, but you knew the deeper the ocean got, the more dangerous it was. But this beautiful creature always looked at you and drove you mad with curiosity.
And one day, your caved in. You swam out as soon as the flowing silky hair emerged from the waters surface. Surprisingly the creature didn’t flinch or move at all, even though you expected it to flee from you. No, the creature waited for you and when you got there, you realized that ‘it’, was a ‘she’. And that ‘she’ was a creature beyond your wildest fantasies. She was big - a lot bigger than you, with pink skin and almost icy eyes. You looked at her with such awe and admiration, you didn’t realize the sticky pastel tentacles wrapping around your body. It was almost as if, you couldn’t see them nor feel them. You were lost in her deep eyes and worried look, suddenly madly in love with this creature. This feeling kept you away from the pain when she wrapped you tightly in her tentacles, and maybe it was for the better. Because you didn’t even notice or feel when she bared a sudden pair of sharp teeth and sank them into your soft skin. She looked at you lovingly while she devoured you slowly. But it didn’t matter, because finally, you got to see this beautiful lovely creature. And you were completely in love with her.
Because ever since you were a young child, you loved the ocean. And she loved you too.

Beautiful creatures

“You can go inside and sleep, I can take the rest of the night shift” I say as I leave the cabin and out to the guard on duty. “Are you sure? You do this every night, you need to rest as well.” He replies to me. I hid and smile towards my crew mate. He replies with a smile and a nod and leaves for the beds. I walk to the edge of the ship, looking out at the waves calmly moving back and forward. The sky being dark and filled with start glimmering like diamonds and the moon shinning up on the diamond dressed sky. To be honest, the only reason I volunteer to guard the ship every night is because of her. I’ve only seen her a few times. But each time I see her, she’s even more beautiful than the last. I’ve always wondered what kind of creature she is, because I am sure she’s not human. What human would life under water? I’ve never seen her waist down... I sigh heavily, leaning over the edge, standing between two of the canons. My crew mates thinks I’m just sick and imagining her. Cabin fever.... I sure as hell don’t have that. Sure, we spend months at a time on this pirate ship. Just us.. 
I heard a splash in the water, just a single splash. I looked down and there she was, as beautiful as ever. But this time, I have made my decision. I’m going in. I stepped back and grabbed a rope, tying it around my waist before I leaped across the ship and jumped into the water. I swam closer to her. 

She put her hands on my cheeks, smiling brightly. Her wet hands still felt great in my cheeks, to finally be touched by someone again. However, something felt wrong. I felt the rope loosening around my waist, I looked back and saw the rope was loose and before I knew it I felt someone grab my ankle, pulling me deep down under the water. I can’t breath, i’m Surrounded by them. Creatures that looks just like her. Some were pink, some were blue and some were green. They all have tentacles below their waists, and hair flowting in the water as if their hairs were blowing in the wind. I see they all come closer to me, all of them reaching out towards me. It this how it ends? I fell for the temptation, the temptation the rest of the pirate crew warned me about. I closed my eyes, feeling these creatures grab me by my arms and legs and pulling me down deeper. I can’t breath, I have no energy to fight against them. Everything is going dark for me... this is the end, and I only have myself to blame.
