to the sandy beach.. Then it stopped, frozen in place. She closed her mouth and looked at Gabrielle…”What is your wish?”
“My wish is that my brother Paul, lives, survives this disease that about to take his life”
“Well…Your wish is my command.”
Gabrielle looked at Morgana. She had knots in her stomach, she had a feeling that it was a mistake.
“The sea is wild, the waves are cold. Death comes for a boy named Paul. He is sick, he is Dying.
This is a wish from his flesh and blood, His Sister Gabrielle wishes that death lets him live. As wild as your soul is, and cold throbs your heart, let it be filled with warmth and let him live. Let death not reach him. Save him. She is willing to pay the price for his life.”
It was silent, cold and quite. Sitting wondering what was going to happen. “What now?”
“Well Gabrielle, your wish has been granted.”
“Really...oh my god I have to get home and see him”
“Ah, wait just a minute there young lady. We haven't discussed the subject of payment. You can't get something for nothing, you know.”
“Oh right…well I don’t have much what do you want?”
“I'm not asking much. You'll never even miss it. What I want from you is . . .your legs.”
“what?”
“Life's full of tough choices, isn’t it?:
“You…you cant do that” Gabrielle snapped back
“My dear, sweet child. That's what I do - it's what I live for. I told you, you have no idea of what I’m capable of. You should have listened. You didn’t think that the solution to your problem would be that simple, no it wasn’t, it was a wish, a whish that was most expensive. I told you that you would have to pay a price for your brother life. You said that you didn’t care what it was. The only way for you to get what you wanted was to come to me, you had no other choice. And the only way to get what I want is to become human. Therefor, I need your legs.”
“But why do I have to give my legs to you?”
“I know its painful to give up something up like that but I had to do it, so do you. That’s if you want your brother to live…don’t you?”
“I want him to live but…wait, you had to do it?”
“Yes I did. You see someone I loved dearly was dieing. And I met a mermaid and I helped her. So she gave me a wish that was to let her live. So in return I gave the mermaid my legs. It’s a curse. You see we…well mermaids can hear when someone wishes for something big…you know like keeping someone alive. There’s nothing I can do now. Those legs of yours are mine. There’s nothing you can do. Now I am going to be up there, now I will be able to walk, run, stay all day in the sun. I get to wonder, freely.” Morgana looked at her. Gabrielle, was in shock, angry.
“Well….I have to…” Gabrielle looked at siren. Morgana looked at her “That’s right you do.”
“I made a wish. Then how am I suspose to see my mom and dad my brothers?”
“That’s…well the beauty of it for me. Maybe not for you. But the thing is, no one will remember you. Not your mother, Father, not William or Zack. No one in this town will. All there memories of you will be replaced with me, only I wont be the memory of a daughter, but ill be the memory of a future dauhter-in-law. If you know what I mean. And I will have all your memories. I will pretty much know everything you know and well everything I already know” Morganalooked at her. The skies still gray, the ocean was still. There was no wind blowing. It wasn’t cold out or hot.
“What?”
“That’s the pirce.”
“You want my legs..and my life…you want my family?”
Gabrielle dropped to her knees. Looking at Morgana. Morgana layed on her side, looking at Gabrielle. She smiled at her. Drawing in the sand with her finger.
“If you just listen. I can try to explain. You see I was going to get married before this happened to me, but sense I gave my legs and my memories and my life to the mermaid that granted my wish. She got to marry him. Its happening this very moment. You will remember everything that went on. But they wont. And you wont be able to grant a wish like this for a hundred years. Just like me. I saw Paul on the beach a couple of years ago. I saw him and I said to myself, that’s my future.”
“That’s…that’s just crazy. Your crazy”
“Remember I told you that there would be a price, and I drive a hard bargin. It is crazy, but that’s whets going to happen. Maybe next time you will listen to me. So, Gabrielle, get into the water now.”
“What?” Looking at Morgana in shock.
“I cant belive this…”
“Don’t act so surprised. You should have known that we are devious creatures. So I can make you get in, but I’m being nice. So do it now. But first I have a question for you?”
“What is it?” Gabrielle said. Morgana looked at her“Gabrielle…did you really think that you met me by chance? I knew your brother was dying. You forget, that we are very powerful people. I know more then you could ever know.” Gabrielle had tears in her eyes, as she stepped into the cold still ocean water. The water gave her Goosebumps all over. Her hair touching the water and it began to flow out. “Now” Morgana said looking at Gabrielle as she stood shivering in the water. “Don’t worry after you will be warm. Calm down theres noting to afraid of” Morgana sat on her knees. She looked up to the sky and began to say “after I became a mermaid, I always dreamed of a life above again. For a hundred years I hoped. Of a life with family. I wanted to dance with my prince.”
Morgana looked into the water and began to say “This young girl gave up her legs for the love of her brother. She agreed to be blessed with this sleek graceful tail. And I have been given her legs. So I say to you Mother ocean taker her change her, and give me what I deserve. This is the blood and Flesh of the boy she has saved with her wish.”
Then the winds bean to blow, the waves grew bigger they forced Gabrielle into the ocean water. Deeper and deeper her body sunk. The water cold and dark. She could feel scales forming on her legs and the brought them closer together, she couldent pull them apart. She looked up from under the water to see the dark clouds disappearing and the sun was shining in the water. She looked down, the water got darker and darker as it pulled her under.
Morgana sat on the beach, she watched as the fins disappeared, she saw flesh underneath. Her toes beginning to show. ”Im back home.” She said to her self. She looked out to the ocean “Good luck Gabrielle” She rose from the sand. It felt good to feel the sand beneath her feet, and being able to stand once again. She brushed her hair from her face. Picked up a towel that someone had left there. She looked around, “What a beautiful day to be home” The sun was bright, it was a warm afternoon. The light summer breeze was cool, and refreshing. The smell of the ocean and the breeze calmed her. She wrapped the towel around her waist and walked. She walked up the gravel path, the rocks and the dirt underneath her feet crunching and crumbeling with everystep she took. She walked up the the short steep hill, and onto the grassy yard of her new home. There was a garden that was gated in, filled with colourfull fruits and vegtibals. She walked up to the front door and opened it. “Mother I’m home” she stood in the doorway.
“Oh Morgana…He awake, he’s much better…isn’t that amazing?”
“It is very amazing isn’t it. So just over night pretty much? Can I see him?”
“Oh yes overnight, or course he’s your future husband.” Elizabeth wrapped her arms around Morgana hugged her held her
“I’m so happy Morgana” Morgana looked down at Elizabeth, “So am i.” Morgana walked up the stairs and opend the door that led into Paul’s room. His room no longer smelt of sweat and vomit. It smelt like flowers. The room was much brighter, there was a vase of lillies on the night stand near the bed. “Paul?” Looking around. “Oh Morgana, hi. I was wondering when you were coming back. They told me you went for a walk.” He smiled at her, he came out of the closet were he had just finished getting dressed.
“Paul” She said, she walked over and hugged him. “I’m so glad to see you.” He looked at her.
“I know, and I’m thankful that your ok.”
“Im fine. Don’t worry. I will be ok. Hey, You know what I want to do right now?”
“What’s that Paul?”
“I want to go for a walk on the beach its been a while, I want to see the ocean, and feel the sand under my feet, I miss the smell of the breeze that comes in. You know what I mean? Morgana, will come with me?
“Of course. I know what you mean, and you know what? I wouldn’t have it any other way.Id love to join you. It were I belong. With you”
As Paul was leaving, with Morgana behind him, she looked back and looked out the bedroom window and out to the view of the ocean.
