She's Nowhere to be Found

I smelled the brackish water. Touched the sea and swam on it, not knowing that, it will be the last time that I will be known as a human. After then, I was nowhere to be found.

My life begins in a such incredible way. I was born fantastically! Physically, I am a normal human, but inside I wasn't. I am gorgeous that no woman in this world can compare my beauty. Skin as white as snow, lips coloured like sticky blood, pointed nose, rosy cheeks, and eyes with beaucoup colors. I have multiple admirers, even some Prince's from many countries. Not knowing that, I am not a normal human being.

From the inner to the outer me, I am not a normal. My bones were like the bones of a seahorse, it was a square-like-flexible bones that has many joints. That even if I got into a car accident, my bones were not going to break unlike those normal people. My sense of smell is as like as of the dogs, I have up to 50 times receptors cells more than of those normal people do. And the worst is, my skin produces a super sticky and elastic sweat the same as the slime of a hagfish.

My mom and dad brought me to Doctor Keller for my medication. But my doctor said that I don't need medications, however I need to prevent something...Seawater. I will not dare to touch nor swim on that brackish water, if I will, then I will vanish as a human being!

My name is Maurette Shaniel Scotter. I am the one and only daughter of the Scotter couple. My parents were so proud of having me even I am fantastically-imperfectly made. They supported me in many things, except this one. I fell in love with a guy named Louine. He's just simple but handsome, a kind gentleman. My parents doesn't want me to stay near him. Not because they hated him, the real reason is they don't want my life secret to be revealed. But I insisted, they can't stop me from doing this!!

Louine and I secretly meet each other for how many months. All those days and weeks, he already know my secret. But still, he kept it because he loves me and he wanted to protect me. Louine proposed to me, and of course I said "Yes!!"! But , we can't get married because of my parents. So we got to go to a place where there is no one knows its name.

Shall we call it "Unknown Paradise"? Yes, it is a paradise. Beautiful, countless species and varieties of floras and faunas. High mountains, clear rivers, wide oceans and seas with many fishes and colorful coral reefs, a waterfalls that turns into a fire when the sun rays hits it. The seabreeze, the birds chirp, the leaves hiss, the sea waves. The ocean of blooming flowers, the beautiful sunlight, the stunning moonlights, the starry night sky...it was indeed, so fantastically made!

Years passed by, we already got married. Living happily as a couple in that beautiful islands scenery. And, I didn't go back to my parents home because I already knew what will happen if I will. I forgot my imperfections, forgot of what I was made abnormally.

January 11, 3030, Louine brought me to the seaside to celebrate our Cotton Anniversary (2nd Wedding Anniversary). I am so happy that day. It was the most memorable of all the memories I have since then, yet I forgot something that I need to prevent with...

I touched the seawater, walk through the deepest area, and swim on it. At first, I wasn't changed but a minute later... My skin released that super sticky and elastic sweat like those of hagfishes have. My feet turns into tail of a seahorse and my head into a dogs head. I was vanished completely as a human and turns into a unique sea creature!

My husband tried to find me for how many years until now. He never gets tired of finding me. It really hurts me watching him all day and night crying, and saying my name out loud. All those years, when I got vanished as a human, he always wrote a letter for me. He will throw those letters to the sea and when he leaves, I secretly took it and read it.

It was so painful for me. Remembering and regretting those things. I always blame and talk to myself saying "If only I listened to my parents...If only I didn't insisted to do what I wanted to do. Maybe, I am still a human today." Yes, I know. Nothing will change with these thoughts because it is already done. Blaming myself or whatsoever, it will never help me and there is nothing that can go back from where everything began. It will stay the same. I was nowhere to be found, and I will never be found.
