Troubled mermaid

Rescued

It was utter chaos in the merman kingdom, ferals were everywhere and even though Jin was the strongest sea beast man he could not win such an amount all by himself, he saw his brothers die left and right, still he kept on fighting, even though the ferals were many they were not as strong as the mermen so they lost the fight but not necessarily the battle. They suffered great loss, so many mermen were killed and wounded, it was heartbreaking, his kingdom was in ruins, most of their homes were destroyed but Jin could not think of that, he had to get to Qin and make sure she was alright. He hurried back to their home, what he saw sent chills down his spine, their home had been attacked, he had thought it was too well hidden for them to find but he was wrong, he ran around like a madman screaming her name but there was only silence that answered. He ran to the place he had made her hide and to his utter horror she was not there. There head been a battle in the room, he could see blood and bodies but no sign of Qin, they had stolen her, they had taken her away from him, all he felt was immense anger, he released his beast aura in his fury, thankfully no merman where near or else they would have been killed. He saw red, he would get her back, with all means necessary, he would kill everyone to get her back for he did not want to live without her.

A few had heard a female cub cry out for help, most were too afraid to help, even if it was their duty to save any female in trouble still most valued their own life before an unknown female, especially the ones that had no stripes. Still there were a few that had heard her cries and went to investigate, some good, some bad and some just in between the two. The one that got there first saw the crab take the mermaid into his arms, he did not see the females face but her form was very colourful, her hair was blue and her skin glowed in the moonlight. He had not decided it he was going to help but he was curious, he had heard stories of the mermaid, all of them told that no other female cub could match her beauty so he was interested to see if that was really true. He was still watching when he saw the cub attack the crab by taking out his eyes, he smiled, he liked this cub, she was a fighter, he was just about to save the cub when he saw the crab throw her to the ground, he heard the cub scream and then stop as soon as she hit the ground. He was fast and cut the throat of the crab before the crab knew what was going on. He examined the female and decided that they stories were in fact true, she was such a delicate little thing, he saw blood coming from her head but thankfully she was still alive, he frowned knowing she needed a healer, he was of no use in that matter, he would have to go to a village, it was annoying, since he was a feral after all, it would create a havoc and they would all assume that she had been stolen and he had an inkling that her clan would come and get her if they knew she was a live and he really did not want to give her back, what to do he thought to himself. He decided to take her to his lair and get a healer for her, that was for the best, he had just gotten his pearl and he was not going to give her up so fast, not at least until he had spoken with her.

His lair was a damp cave, it was cold there, he liked heat but he did not really want to bother with heating it up besides he did not like fire much. He laid her down gently on sleeping pace, he looked at her for a while, mesmerised by her appearance, her fin was so feminine, so many colours, he liked it very much. He examined her her little hand, those little cute hands had made the crab blind, he liked them and touched them to see how sharp they're really were, she was a dangerous beauty, he caressed her face for a while before taking off to get a healer.

Not far from the feral was a village called Camel Hump. It was not a big village but a moderate size, it had a few females so it was a rather popular place to settle down in, even though most of the beasts only had two stripes or under they had been doing well and could mostly fend for themselves, sometimes they got help from the city but that did fortunately not happen often. Harvey was one of the best healers in the area, he was very good at taking care of beasts, he handled everyone with the same care and concern. He was very liked in his village and he often was called to other places because of his skill. He was very proud of his skills since he had worked hard to be the best he could be. He had known very early on that he would never be able to be a fighter, he would never be able to get a female since he had no strength so he decided to do the next best thing, to take care of females hoping that maybe one female would give him a chance and see his worth but still he was content with what he had, hoping for more would just leave you crushed, at least that is what he believed. He was just about to go to bed when a feral invaded his house, he shivered in fright, thinking this would be his end, he did not fight, there was no use, this feral was much stronger than him, he just froze, waiting to be devoured. The feral told him he was not there to eat him but he needed his assistance. He told him that he had found a wounded little female cub that needed his help. He told him to take all he needed to help her and come with him. For a while Harvey just stood there not understanding what was happening, it was not until the feral lost his patience and told him to hurry that he finally moved again. Harvey was scared but asked how she was hurt. The feral told him that he had seen a crab trying to steal the cub but the cub had resisted so he threw her on ground and she had hit her head on a stone and she was bleeding. Harvey hurried to take what he needed to help the poor cub, he took more than he needed just to be safe. The feral carried the items and hurried back, Harvey morphed and ran fast to keep up with the feral, fortunately his lair was not far away so the trip did not take a long time. Harvey morphed back and followed the feral into his lair, he could see a mermaid, it was the mermaid he had heard stories, of he hurried to try to help her. He tried to wake her up but it did not work, fortunately the hole on her head was not big so he could fix that , he asked if the feral could spare some stones to help to heal her head so it would not scar, the feral had plenty of those and let Harvey pick what was best. Harvey had never seen so many stones in his life, all kind of stones of al kinds of strength but he used the one he thought was good for her head and hopefully her concussion. He examined her body, he had never seen a mermaid before nor had he seen a merman up close so he examined her, her fin was much thicker than he would imagined it to be and fortunately it seem to be intact, he examined her body and she did not seem to have any other injuries beside her head. Harvey looked at the feral not knowing what to say or do, had he stolen her from her home. He was suspicious and gave him a look. The feral just smiled knowing what was going on in Harveys brain. He told Harvey that she had come from the sea and the crab was after her so her home must have been attacked, she was clearly being targeted so they needed to shield and protect her. The feral asked Harvey to stay until she woke up, even though he asked it was really not a question, he would not have been permitted to leave even if he wanted to. He sat down next to the female and tended to her. He did not know if mermaid liked heat or not so he decided not to build a fire. They both just sat there looking at her, in silence, waiting for her to wake up but they would have to wait for some time for her to wake up. On the third day she finally opened her eyes, her head hurt like hell and she was disoriented, she sat up and looked around, then she saw she was not at her home, she remembered what had happened, was she had the crabs lair, she was frightened but then she looked around and saw the crab was not there anymore, she saw a sleeping leopard next to her, there was no crab, she looked around but she saw no one else. She saw that he was still sleeping and she really did not feel that she was in any danger so she decided to try to morph back so she could use her legs. She concentrated and slowly she morphed back, she finally had her legs back. She looked at the sleeping leopard, she felt a little sorry for him, he must have been exhausted since he slept like the dead, he was really cute, and she really wanted to pet him but she did not know him and she had no idea what was happening, she was still debating if she should stay or leave, if she went were would she go, should she try to find Winston, he would help her she was sure of it, he was such a kind beasts, then she thought of the beast still sleeping, all of a sudden a thought came into her mind, could this be Parker, she hoped not, she detested that pest, if it was him she really wanted to leave but still she decided agains it, if it was Parker she could loose him by asking to swim in the lake, she swam much faster than him even in her human form and it was hard to track her down because of her weak scent, she decided to stay and see who the leopard really was.
