Jacoby just stood there looking to me. This man couldn’t even hide the fact 

he felt no remorse. I needed to get away from him the first chance possible. 

As I went to walk away he pulls me into his chest forcing another kiss. 

Instinctively I slap his face only to be met with a smack to my own. 

“You belong to me Teresa don’t forget that.” 

How could I forget what you’ve done to me? This was a living hell. Getting up

 my rage couldn’t be hidden which caused Jacoby to smile. That sick fucker

 found it amusing how much I loathed his entire being. I left the room 

walking to the room I’d woken in to sit on the bed. Placing my hands on my 

face I just scream and cry. 

“I swear I’ll get away from you, then you will pay.”

 That is the moment I decided to figure out what this new body of mine could do.

Falling back onto the bed I try to think about his words. This body of mine

 was a hybrid. So what could mermaids actually do? I could see a few things a

 vampire could do...but all I knew are myths. If I was going to get away from 

him then I needed to be smart about everything. No more setting off his 

temper if possible. Although that would be hard with my personality not to 

clash with Jacoby. I laid there for a few more minutes before getting out of 

the bed. There had to be some sort of library here, at least I hoped so. 

Walking from the room a maid stopped then bowed to me.

 “Um...Jacoby wouldn’t happen to have a library would he?”

 The maid smiled to me and pointed down the hall. She walked next to me

 then stop in front of a set of door.

 “Here is is Mistress. If you need anything else please don't hesitate to ask.”

 Giving her a faint smile I walk into the room quickly shutting the doors. As I 

turned the room looked more like the size of three average apartments. This

 wasn’t going to be an easy task to find something I needed.

At least even if I didn’t find anything useful I could read. It had always been a 

habit of mine to read to calm myself. Starting on the bottom shelf many of 

the books looked to be historical. Maybe even they would give me some kind

 of clues into my new abilities. I opened the first book as first glance un-able

 to read anything. Quickly as I glanced back all the words looked like plain 

english to me. Hmmm if this was an ability it could be very handy. The title of

 the book read “History of Veramont.” I’d never heard of this Veramont place.

 As I read it talked about how this kingdom fell to ruin. It was vampires who 

caused this kingdom’s downfall. It told many stories about how the people 

were used as food, slaves, sex, and battle. The more I read the more vampires

 seemed even more disgusting then Jacoby. They ended up causing a

 great battle that sank their entire island into the ocean. No one survived but 

a small boy who wrote all the stories he had learn. I closed the book letting 

out a sigh.

 “Great so now I know the vamps are all just as fucked up as Jacoby.”
