*Seria's Point Of View.*

...I'm...falling. No i'm...i'm sinking. I sunk farther and farther down, until i felt the grains of sand through my hair and all over my body. My red hair fluttered around my face like grass in a breeze. i felt...peaceful.

Then, i started rising to the surface again. I didn't have the energy to move, but i had enough energy to see that there was short, black hair behind me. A man maybe. I tried to look from a better view, but then, all of a sudden...i could breath again.

I coughed up what felt like gallons of water. I gazed around and noticed i was on an island not far from the shore. i looked in the water around me. All i saw was something blury in the water.

I tried to scream, but something grabbed my mouth.

"Scream, and we both die...again." I turned around to see black hair covering a man's eyes. I pulled the man's hand off of my face.

"Who are you?" I asked. The man looked up. "Caleb." The man, or Caleb, sighed. "What's your name?" He asked. "My name's Seria...Wait," I looked closer at his eyes, they were dark violet. "Your eyes!" I leaned in closer, but Caleb pulled away. "What about 'em?!" Caleb snapped. I noticed Caleb's lower body. It was a grey fish tail!

"AHHHH!!" I screamed as loud as i could, but Caleb tackled me and we both rolled into the ocean, once more. "Shut up." Caleb spoke...underwater?! "Huh?" I noticed...i wasn't sinking, but instead, i was floating in the water. "What the...?"

Caleb sighed. "Oh for Christ's sake! You're dead!!!" Caleb huffed. "Wait...what?" I chuckled nervously. "Dead? How?" I felt my shaky breaths. Caleb sighed. "Everyone who dies, gets assigned an angel to protect them and tell them 'the ways' of death. I was assigned to you. And since you drowned, i took on the form of a merman, see?" Caleb wiggled his 'tail'.

"So what happened?" I questioned. "You drowned. If you had died from falling or something related to fall damage, i would have appeared with raven wings as hands, and if you had starved i would have been in a normal human body, and if you had died of old age, i'd be an old person right along with you." Caleb tilted his head, held his finger up, and winked.

"So what does 'assigned to me' mean?" I tried not to seam like i wanted to know. "It means i have to 'watch over you' and 'take care of you'. i'm technically like your boyfriend without the 'in love' type stuff..." Caleb and i blushed.

"So what now?" I said as a few bubbles floated out of my mouth. "We blend in." Before i could say anything, Caleb gripped my wrist and pulled me alongside of him as he swam along.

Caleb and I arrived at the shallow end of the ocean withen 20 minutes. "Go." Caleb pointed to the surface. "Why?" I questioned. "Go." Caleb gave me a little push. "What about you?" I stated. "Uh...hello?!?!" Caleb pointed to his tail, "I kinda' can't." Caleb swam a ways away and motioned for me to go onshore again, but i didn't move. Then Caleb charged at me. "GO ON LAND!" Caleb screamed with a worried tone.

And the last thing i saw...were the bubbles escaping my mouth.
