( Internal POV : Pandore )

I wake up with a heavy head. The rosé was a bit too strong for me. I remember what happened last night, I lost my ring in the Trench of Hades I was trying to escape the grip of a pervert, a wave engulfed me, I saw blood, lots of blood... When I woke up, I saw the Anglerfish in front of me. It was not a dream. I feel something sting on my finger, and looking at my finger, my crown-shaped ring is on my finger, as I had dropped it in the sea.

Would he get it back for me ??

- Hum... Hum... I hear in my room, then I see Edd waking up, he slept on my floor ?

- Edd ? What are you doing here ? I ask him, he rubs his eyes when all of a sudden, a trickle of blood runs from his nose and he turns red.

- What's the matter ? I ask him worried until I realize I'm totally topless in front of him, I scream immediately covering my chest and running into the bathroom.

- Sorry, I'm sorry Pandore, I didn't want to look at you, I assure you. Edd apologizes from the other side of the door.

I look at my reflection in the mirror, small scratches on my thighs and my chest, with teeth marks on my neck and shoulders, I even see a piece of scales on my hand.

So it wasn't a dream. The Anglerfish, I mean Damian... He was really there and I really had a night with him, I still smell his scent on me though, my swimsuit top is completely gone, he's not not here or in my room, otherwise I would have seen him. Same, I still feel his clawed hands on my breasts playing with, I even have some traces all around.

I am dizzy...

- Pandore..? Are you fine ? Edd asks me from the other side of my door, I jump.

- Ah yes yes, sorry I'm a little dizzy. I tell her, grabbing a summer dress and leaving my bathroom fully dressed; What happened Edd? I ask him intrigued, would he have seen Damian too? And above all, what is he doing in my bungalow?

But where did Damian go ?

- Bah... Try saying Edd intimidated; Last night I found you outside with... A half fish, half human guy, he was huge and threatening, I was scared for you so I wanted to see...

- WHAT ??? Have you seen Damian ? I shout to him by catching him by his sweet, he jumps in fear telling me.

- Uh yes yes, but I promised him not to say anything, otherwise I have a 100% chance of being his next meal and I don't want to see him tear me apart with his sharp teeth and sharp claws. He said to me, holding me by the shoulders.

- I vaguely saw him eat someone... I tell him, Edd suddenly turns white; Yes, a pervert who wanted to rape me, a wave engulfed us and Damian appeared, he rushed at him then he devoured him in front of me, I was even able to touch his stomach still filled with this pervert he to eat like a meat skewer.

- If I may say so, you even said he have a big one. Allows himself to tell me Edd almost giggling.

- A big...? A big what...? I ask him curiously, what he can talk about? Then he comes close to my ear to whisper the answer, I suddenly turn red imagining the scene.

- WHAAAAAAAT ????? But it's not possible, I couldn't tell him that, my god the shame! But what must he be thinking right now?

- It's not your fault, you drank too much. He must not blame you, besides we must hurry, there is an outing which is planned in 10 minutes at the beach.

That's right, I forgot!! I hurry to brush my hair, prepare my bag with a bottle of water, another red and black bathing suit too, but a little lighter, and less comfortable, since I've lost the top of my favorite, some medicine, two mangas and especially my Pandy Panda plush that I take everywhere with me and I put my shoes on, I'm ready in just 5 minutes.

Edd, just goes quickly to get his bag and then we arrive at the beach, only 4 minutes late. I'm so tired the day has just started. I could lie on the beach and not wake up until late evening.

Today we are going to visit the great forest of the island, without going through the cave where I met Damian, if it happens he went to sleep there where then he is in the depths of the sea where he found my ring.

- Said, do you think we'll meet Damian today? I whisper to Edd as the professor talks to us about what we're going to do on the visit.

- I don't know... Already, he's got his eye on me for sure, so if it happens he's watching us, you'll have to keep an eye on all the water around us. He tells me.

- Did you say something Edd? We interrupt the professor who has stopped in his explanation.

... Shit.

- No no nothing. Edd answers, the teacher sighs and finishes his explanation. He says we are going to go swimming in an underground glade specially known for its very hot and clean water. I can't wait, even if I feel like I'm going to fall asleep there, I'm so tired.

The teacher installs us in the bus that will take us all to the North of the island where this famous clearing is, Edd sat down next to me, which makes everyone who annoys me laugh, not stopping to say that he and I are a couple. If they knew who is in my heart right now.

- He could eat them all... I murmur softly while looking at the landscape through the window of the bus, I like the vast expanse of forest so much, I would like to be able to live here, I would set up my future home in the forest, in peace with no one to bother me, with... With Damian by my side.

Tss... I'm ridiculous, Damian is the Anglerfish, he eats humans and I could very well be his next meal, yet when I think of him, my heart pounds so hard I don't know if it's l attraction, or fear... He has a very beautiful face with always hungry predatory eyes, very soft but always wet hair, his fish ears are weird to touch, his teeth are really impressive when seen up close, as sharp as a shark's but so beautiful. Same for his body... His muscles so protruding, and especially his belly so muscular, I don't even remember having seen him in his human body.

- I would so like to see him... I whisper.

- Did you say something Pandore ? Edd suddenly asks me, I suddenly jump.

- Eh ? Uh... sorry I was thinking out loud. I tell him, blushing slightly, he can't help but giggle.

- You're thinking about Damian, right ? He teases me and I blush even more as he sneers. We finally arrive at our destination, it looks a bit like where we went last time, except that there is a very big waterfall of hot water, I can already feel the heat on my skin, we get out of the bus and we separate in groups so that the girls and the boys go to put on their bathing suits, I can't wait to swim in the water.

But before that, the teacher insisted on telling us the story of these hot springs to which we must take notes for a future little evaluation that we will have at the start of the school year, I listen to almost all the information and note what I hear even if the information comes out of my other ear once it has entered my head.

-... It's long. Yawns Edd next to me, I agree with what he's telling me, especially since there are plenty of my classmates who aren't listening at all. And after more than an hour, we finally have permission to bathe in this hot spring. I don't need to be asked to get into hot water.

- It feels so good. I say, feeling the warm water on my body, the same for Edd who plunges head first into the water, like everyone else, most of them stay in the sun for a while.

I let myself float on the water for a while a little far from the others just below the shade of the big trees, Edd goes to play ball with some classmates. Suddenly I feel something below me, like a fish that has passed by my feet, a shiver goes through me and I look down, I see a familiar figure swimming all around me.

- Damian... I say quietly, I feel my heart pounding, it's really him. He comes very slowly out of the water to wrap his arms around me, he puts his nose in my neck gently licking my skin.

- Hello my beautiful, happy to see you my little female in my favorite little corner. He whispers in my ear purring, I shiver at his little breath in my ear, he tells me to float on the water as he grabs me by the waist and he starts swimming on my back to train with him under the waterfall, but the water is so powerful that I almost sink, Damian waits until we are in the cave to burst out laughing.

- You're really in sugar you, a little water and you sink. He laughs, I laugh too, it was so funny. The water here is even warmer, it feels so good that I moan with pleasure.

- This is my favorite spot after I've had a good meal, here it's always warm and quiet. You can do whatever you want there. He says to me with a purring tone that makes me shiver.

Feeling him swimming beside me, being glued to me, awakens my excitement for him, the same feeling I had the first time I saw him. I stick to him to give him a big hug, his mermaid tail is between my legs and I feel the vibrations inside, my thighs tremble with excitement in such a position. Damian cracks a small smile as he gently nibbles my neck while stroking my back. I feel his claws brush against my skin, in one fell swoop he could slash me but he prefers to teasing my body with his alluring aura. That's when I feel my swimsuit top come undone.

I jump and hurry to cover my breasts. Damian nods at my reaction.

- What's wrong ? You weren't so modest last night... did I offend you? He asks me curious, I'm completely red. All intimidated, I don't know what to say to him, I wish I could free myself, let him touch me. However, my body is blocked, I cannot move.

Damian is content to stick me to him so that my breasts stick to his chest, I hear him purr when he strokes my back.

- Relax my pretty, it's going to be fine, I'm not going to hurt you. Take a deep breath and hold your breath. He says to me, I barely have time to answer him when he comes to kiss me while diving into the water with me. I can't move, I'm completely in his grip, he continues to kiss me, pumping his oxygen to me, sticking his mermaid tail between my legs to excite me even more, trapping me even more in his grip.

Then he brings me to the surface and then nibbles my neck. I am dizzy..

(Internal POV: Damian)

She is so good. Her very soft and luscious skin and she smells so good, she drives me crazy. I wish I could see more, but obviously I scare her. And if I go too far, she will refuse to come back to see me... However, I had to see her today, I couldn't sleep, I had the feeling of her body in my hands, so I followed so I could see her today. Suddenly, I see her who is all hot and red.

- You're feeling good ? I ask her curious.

- I'm sorry... I have a little headache, I'm tired... She moaned, breathing the air I feel there's going to be a storm soon, maybe she is sensitive ? I come to bring her back to the bank and I pull her backpack which I managed to steal from the little corner where she changed.

- You want something to drink ? I ask her, rummaging through his bag until I find a plush panda with big disturbing eyes.

- What is this thing ? I wonder, this soft toy makes me uncomfortable with its big round and shiny eyes

- My Pandy Panda... Said my female wanting to get it back, it's fun, I lift her up to try to catch it, she moans like a child until she manages to catch it. But she falls on top of me, her head on my belly.

I sketch a smile.

- So keep calm and get some sleep. If your class leaves I'll wake you up. I tell her to reassure her, she doesn't even flinch, she yawns many times before closing her pretty brown eyes, I caress her black hair for a long time until she is completely asleep with her weird stuffed animal by her side . It took more than 30 minutes, her breathing is soft but noisy at the same time, she was really tired and her head is well wedged against my belly, her hair and her nose even tickle my abs.

- You're really cute... I breathe touching her skin, drool flows from my lips then suddenly my stomach starts to gurgle ; and seem tasty. My heartbeat is pounding in my chest, and a feeling like I have a gaping hole in my stomach... She smells so good, a mixture of lemon, peach and almonds, and her skin has such a sweet taste that makes me so hungry. I could swallow her whole in seconds and have her in my stomach for hours, savoring her fully, before I could digest her to become a part of me forever.

I just need 10 seconds... to swallow her.

My stomach growls with impatience, it gurgles so loudly that it echoes in the cave and all that for long seconds, but it doesn't even wake her up. She continues to sleep like a baby, continuing to cling to me, the warmth of her body mixing with mine. I'm on the verge of grabbing it to devour it but I suddenly stop, my heart sinking. If I eat her now, I'll never see a girl like her again... A girl who drives me so crazy, I would like to be able to discover her entire body, from the top to her intimacy. She turns around to sleep on her back, I see her beautiful face, I unbutton her swimsuit top to discover her breasts again, I run my hand over it, so soft, so luscious. I can not help leaning over to suck one, she moaned a little. It drives me crazy, then my hand goes over her soft belly. I imagine it bigger with our child inside... She is my female after all, and despite my condition. I too have the right to have a family... What should I do ?

Listen to my heart or rather my reproductive instinct, or my stomach?

- Pandore ?... Pandore, are you there ? Call out the voice of a boy I recognize, that boy in the dark green hoodie, jeans with brown hair and big eyes. He jumps in my presence.

- Ohhh Damian... He mumbles ; I didn't know you were there, is Pandore okay ? He asks me.

Exactly, I needed him.

- Yes, she's fine, she's just asleep... Are you ok ? I ask him in response, he nods to my question and once again my stomach starts to rumble louder than usual, the boy looks at me with wide scared eyes.

- You want me to wake her up ? The boy asks me, insinuating that I could go hunting if my female wakes up, she moans softly while continuing to sleep.

- No ! Don't you dare, let her sleep but... "my stomach is still rumbling" Damn it I'm SO hungry.

- Oh, well... Do you want me to get you some food ? He proposes to me. I can hardly refuse.

- Hum... Okay, yes, find some meat or fish and especially no coke, please. I answer him, he nods and runs outside. I feel that my female is shaking a little, so I just lift her a little to better hold her in my arms to warm her up. Besides, I'm starting to get dry despite my fin still a little in the water. If I could be completely dry, maybe I could do it now with her...

No... She will surely be scared, I have to be patient, not for now. I have to settle for the mermaid way.

She moaned a little more, she will soon wake up.

- I'm back ! Said the boy coming back with his bag where his name is written, I remember his name now : Edd.

- Sorry, I could only find you sandwiches and chips, I hope you'll be fine. He adds as I take out the food, I shrug my shoulders and don't wait any longer to eat what he has just brought me, once I've swallowed everything, I ask him this question.

- Say Edd... " he looks me straight in the eye " I would like to have a child with her, do you think that will be a problem ? Edd is frozen as if he had turned to stone with a surprised expression...

- What... ?
