Anahita dangled her feet over the edge of the pool her feet making ripples form across the water. A sigh escapes her lips as she sits there waitng for the man that said he loved her for a wedding that never came so on and so forth. "There you are I was worried I wouldn't find you!" said a cheerful voice that made Anahita turn to with a light smile "sorry about that I get lost in my own thoughts". It was her friend Nira they were neighbors after she was adopted and Nira just took to her immediately. Nira sat next to her dear friend passing her a cold ice cream it was chocolate mint Anahita smiled taking the ice cream cone and tasting a bit of it quickly. "Wow that's good" she said her voice cheerful Nira shook her head, "So why were you staring out at the ocean for hoping to find a mer-person?" she said teasingly. Anahita shook her head "No just thinking of the past again" she said with a heavy sigh. Nira placed her hands on her hips "Ana you can't do this to yourself anymore you were kids you honestly didn't think he was goning to marry you did you?" she asked her, her tone serious and full of worry. Ana seeing the tension in her friend just smiled and shook her head and lied "No no nothing like that I just wish I knew more about my past is all, she said knowing full well what and who she was. She loved Nira so but knew that it would only be trouble for her to tell someone else her tale. It's what she did when she was first found.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">The waves crash agaisnt the shore Ana walks lonely and cold along the beach ever so often tripping over her new feet. Small tears streak her pale cheek her red hair flowing down her face all in a mess. It had been a lady who found her which also soon enough became her new mother she was a sweet lady her husband was a nice guy and  they treated her wonderful. But it took them a year to get Anahita to understand that to them her people the Mer-people were a myth here that humans thought that her people were just lore. But she knew what she was she was a mermaid and she would always be one deep down. And ever year ever summer she spent her days by the shore looking for the boy that promised to love her but never came</span><br/><br/>Ana smiled at her friend "So where are we going tonight" she asked trying to clear her mind. Nira made a face that said unhappy news was on the way "I kinda have to work" she said groaning. Ana smiled "well then I guess I will have to find some fun elsewhere then won't I" she said teasingly to Nira. Nira waved it off "Yea yea that's nice miss I don't need a job" she said poking back "Well I would love to chat some more but my paycheck is calling" she said with a smile and so the girls parted leaving Ana alone. The sun began to set as the first day of summer approached Ana looked up at the sky looking for the first star <span style="font-style: italic">"I wish he would come back"</span> she wished silently too the first star of the evening. </span></div><br/><br/><div style="text-align: center;">Human Form<br/><a class="postlink" href="http://i727.photobucket.com/albums/ww276/watersprit03/rp%20characters/7750518-1.jpg">[ img ]</a><br/><a class="postlink" href="http://i727.photobucket.com/albums/ww276/watersprit03/rp%20characters/mermaidsiren-1.jpg">[ img ]</a><br/>Mermaid Form</div>
