Hung Out to Dry

Prologue

        I stare out at the bay. For 12 years, I had been on the run, out in the ocean and on land, hiding from the horror of my life. The salty wind blows over my face, and my eyes close. For the first time, I've made a friend, and that friend was a real one.

+

        I had had other friends before, but none of them were trustworthy enough to be able to tell them my secret. My friend's name is Raelyn, she insists I call her Rainy. She is the only person in the world that knows my secret. I couldn't tell my parents, I never knew them.

+

        I was dumped in an orphanage, but even then, I was never at the house. I was always hiding in the woods. I guess I should tell you my secret. I'm a rare creature, usually thought to be mythical.

+

         I'm one of the only two that I know of.. I'm a mermaid.
