Scar fiddled with his gloves, kicking his heels against the rock to absolve some of his hurt and anger. He really wasn't one for violence, and he didn't like to cry. So his methods were rather subtle and weak to say in the least, for they didn't help much. Scar frowned, holding back the tears. Why did people have to be so mean?
He let out such a forelorn sigh to the sky, it was as if it was plucked from the bottom of his aching heart. Not only was he stuck living here, but now school was going to be unpleasent. Going to school was the only reason he endured this crappy lake- now he was just stuck with a big mess he didn't want.
"... what else could go wrong?" He muttered to himself.
Wrong choice of words, as the ripples in the water suggested. Suddenly, exploding from the water, was a mermaid. Her cruel, elongated, webbed fingers stretched out to him and her eyes a dark black. Her tail was rather bare, with a simple fin at the end that was tattered and torn. Scars littered her body and rock peices grew off her cold, blue body. Her hair was a dark color of blue that appeared almost black.
She hissed with horrible venom, Scar stumbled back, falling off the rock and hitting the water with a splash- and the mermaid followed quickly after, dissapearing into the water. Scar sunk through the water, feeling the breath leave his lungs- he couldn't breathe in this form underwater! The water suffocated him, bound him, it felt like it was crushing him.
However, it was not the water crushing him. As he opened his eyes and turned into his regular nymph self, his hair turned jet black and tail forming with his fin-like wings. The mermaid had her tail wrapped around him like a snake, her arm around his throat. Scar struggled against her, his own tail flailing about as he grabbed her scaley arm and bit down deep into it. Cold purple blood poured into the dark lake and bubbles violently drifted to the surface as she released him and swam away.
Scar tried swiming for the surface as fast as possible, but what felt like nails tore through his tail, hooking deep into the scales and light blue blood coursed from his wound, drifting up to the surface in a hazy color, but as it came to the light of the moon, it gave a pale sparkle. Like concintrated magic. But thats what nymphs were. Concintrated magic of their element.
A different mermaid had hooked it's long claws into him. Believe it or not, Scar delt with this often. He had to fend for himself or hide durring the night, and even sometimes durring the day as well. He thrashed in the water, disturbing the water as it became wavy and violent.
He unhooked the claws and swam through the water like a lightening bolt, trying to swim away. He rounded around and hit the following mermaid across the side with his fist and hit him with his tail, sending him off... Scar slowly drifted to the bottom of the lake and laid there, feeling the water move against him and sway his hair around his shoulderblades.
It hurt to move his tail, considering the raking long injury, and his neck was bruised, as well as a few other places. He was still fragile, even if he was a reckless, hyper, hopeless, childish Nymph. Scar slowly pushed away from the bottom of the lake, leaving the rocky sand and using his arms to push himself up.
He followed the rock, using his hands to slowly guide him up and finally broke the surface. He grabbed the side of the rock with one hand, grasping it hard as the other tried to pull himself up. Water cascaded down his nimble body and his dark hair plastered to his face. He finally got himself up on the rock and laid there on his stomach, tail drifting down in the water as his strange blood trickled down the rock in a veiny stream that slowly became thicker and trailed into the water.
Scar could feel his heart beating madly. His body ached once again, but that was nothing new. He rested his chin on the slanted side of the rock, closing his eyes a bit as his hand drifted in the water that lapped at the rocks.
