Over one hundred years ago a treaty was signed, it was called The Treaty of Freedom.
 After a large Tsunami hit the coast the human population blamed the merpeople - a long war proceeded and many humans and merpeople lost their lives so the Treaty of Freedom was drawn up to prevent future 
bloodshed.
A large barrier was constructed under the sea to split Humans from Mermaids it was made law that the merpeople were not allowed into within the perimeter of the barrier if any mermaid was found doing so the penalty was death.


~*~

A string of childish giggles filled the ocean bed as young mermaid with (H/C) hair and beautiful (F/C) scales played happily with the seahorses - ''Catch me if you can!'' she called as she happily swam away she looked back to see them gaining on her so she picked up the pace she was too lost in the game to realize that she had passed the perimeter.

She looked back over her shoulder and stopped her friends weren't following her anymore (E/C) orbs scan the area it was dark here the water felt cold against her skin a feeling of panic crept up inside her. ''H-hello?'' no reply she frantically began to twist and turn looking for any signs movement. The panicked mermaid felt a disturbance near the surface a school of fish came swimming at her she screamed covering her face with her hands.

Slowly she could feel herself being lifted she couldn't move because of the tight confinement in fear she squeezed her eyes shut and curled into a ball - she was scared nothing like this had ever happened to her before she prayed for someone to save her.

The warmth of the sun engulfed her in a comforting hug but it was short lived she could hear shouting, the sounds of metal clanging together she could hear sounds that someone like herself had never heard before - ''Alright! Now drop it!'' the tight confinement relaxed and she found herself falling her head coming into contact with a hard surface knocking her out cold.

~*~

A man whistled ''That's a lot of fish, you know what these means guys - Extra pay!'' a string of cheers and shouts filled the air after a long day fishing the promise of extra pay was a welcoming feeling. A two toned haired boy was currently sifting through the fish putting them into buckets according to size; Jean Kristein was new aboard the fishing boat after his first year at college left him broke he needed the money.

Being the absent minded male he is Jean wasn't particularly paying attention until his hand grabbed onto another much smaller one he turned his head he eyes fixated on the (H/C) haired female that was currently buried under a mountain of fish ''Guys! Come over here!'' heavy footsteps pounded against the deck of the boat ''What is it Jean?'' Jean motioned his hand to the unconscious female the other males scrambled towards the girl pulling the fish away ''How on earth did this happen? I didn't see anyone swimming!''

''I don't know I did- HOLY SHIT!'' The males looked at one another ''Those things still exist? I thought they were all killed off!'' 

''No, don't be stupid these merfolk are not even supposed to be near the barrier it's against the law - punishable by death. We should ring the Military Police about this but I know a way we could make some extra cash'' the man smirked 

~*~

''For the last time, shitty glasses no! I'm not going!'' Levi pinched the bridge of his nose ''Levi please! Pretty please!''

''The appearance of the please doesn't change my mind'' he growled. Levi wasn't very happy not only had Hanji woke him up but he had to put up with her bullshit story about some mermaid being caught ''You know the law around it Hanji''

''Yes but Levi what happens if it's true! This is a once in a lifetime opportunity! I've even paid for your ticket already!'' he sighed ''Fine'' Hanji squealed with excitement even since she was young Hanji had been obsessed about mermaid and the Treaty of Freedom that was written forbidding the merpeople from coming into contact with the human population.

According to Hanji some fishermen had been fishing just outside the barrier and had accidently captured one in their nets but instead of contacting the Military Police they sold it on to the Circus  - that if it was true. He would be lying if he said that he wasn't interested.

The line outside the Circus was huge luckily for him shitty glasses used her brain and pre booked the tickets. Levi and Hanji were sat in the second row in the middle it was a perfect view in the center of the ring was a rectangle shaped box covered with a red sheet lights were shone onto it.

A man in a long cape and top hat walking into the center of the ring he tipped his hat and bowed to the audience ''Welcome, welcome!'' he boomed ''First we are going to introduce our main attraction; it was recorded in history that over a hundred years ago humans and mermaids lived together in harmony until one day the merpeople betrayed the humans causing a huge tsunami killing many people we went to war with the merpeople and we triumphed!'' The crowd cheered ''And thanks to the Treaty of Freedom the merpeople were banished from our shores never to be seen again until today!''

The ringmaster pulled the sheet away, Levi's breathing caught in his throat. The crowd around him went wild screaming, shouting they all stood up blocking his view from the creature the only image in his mind was her frightened face ''Now now, ladies and gentlemen! Please do sit down you'll have plenty of time to view the newest addition to our collection at the end of the show''

~*~

You shielded your face from the blinding lights, you could hear shouting and screaming the flashing lights were hurting your eyes the container you was in was small you didn't have enough room to turn around to shield yourself away from the screams your head was hurting. Somebody, anybody save me.

It went dark again the water sloshed around you they were taking you somewhere you outstretched your arms onto either side of the box to keep yourself steady the container slowly started to tip and you came tumbling out onto the cold hard ground a man in a funny looking had grabbed your chin forcing you to look at him ''Ah yes, you're going to make me a lot of money. Put her in the tank''

Three men lifted you off the ground mentally your mind was screaming for you to fight but your body wouldn't respond you were paralyzed with fear they tossed you into a larger tank you frantically looked around your new surroundings. You were alone, alone in an unknown place you didn't know what was going to happen to you.

A loud bang drove you out of your thoughts a swarm of humans ran towards the tank you were in banging on the glass you swam to the other side but the humans followed you they surrounded the tank - the banging got louder the screams got longer.

You sank to the bottom and curled into a tight ball your body shook uncontrollably hands found their way into your hair fingernails digging deep into your scalp an ear piercing screech found it's way out of your throat the banging stopped the screaming ceased until one started cheering and the rest followed - did humans like to watch suffering? 

Days went by each passing day was nothing but screaming and the banging it was slowly driving you insane since arriving you haven't moved from the spot you curled up in the man in the funny hat tried to get you to move by coxing you with food but to no avail he was losing patience with you he banged on the glass louder than the swarm of people that came every day he would insult you, threatened you he would jab you with a stick small bruises now tattoo your once flawless skin.

It was dark out the prison was closed off from the humans for the night - you used to hate the silence but now it brought you solace and safety you closed your eyes basking in the silence when a tapping sound caught your attention it was different it was a lighter more gentle sound you slowly lifted your self of the bottom your now dull (E/C) orbs scan the tank before fixating on a dark haired male.

~*~

(A few days before) 

Levi couldn't get the frightened expression of her face out of his mind it tugged on his heart to see her so in distress it also disturbed Hanji which was something that he never thought he would see (her experiments nuff said) they left not long after they carted her away. Hanji was really upset it was the quietest he'd ever seen her be.

He wanted to do something it was cruel to keep her confined but if the Military Police got involved she would be killed so he came up with a plan to break in.

(Present time)

He tapped lightly on the glass so he wouldn't statler her she slowly lifted herself up looking around the tank she was in before her dull lifeless eyes fell on him he beckoned her to come over slowly she swam up to the glass her hands pressed up against it her expression was filled with pain from the days of torment.

''Do you want to leave?'' her eyes widened and she nodded enthusiastically he chuckled before climbing the steps that lead to a small platform he knelt near the edge when she peeped her head out of the water ''Can you pull yourself out?'' she placed her hands on the edge and began to hoist herself out she huffed before looking at him with pleading eyes as she held out a hand he took it and attempted to help but her tail was in the way ''Turn around'' she complied she was now sat on the edge he picked her up bridle style.

Levi was surprised at how easy it was to break in and then get out carrying a mermaid there was no cameras near the back entrance at the lock was easy to pick but the 'Circus' was probably the shabbiest looking circus he had ever laid his eyes on. Levi walked with the girl in his arms toward the car where his partner in crime was waiting she squealed once she caught a glimpse of the girl ''Hanji, shut the fuck up'' Levi said through gritted teeth.

He laid her across the seat in the back of the car he buckled her in and placed a blanket over her tail Levi got into the passenger side of the car before Hanji sped off. It wasn't long into the journey back that a violent coughing and gasping ''Hanji step on it''

For the first time in his life he was happy about his rich background when he placed you in the inside pool he watched you splash around happily childish giggles filling the air ''Hey are you hungry?'' in answer to his question a grumble filled the air he watched as your face turned red and you drive back under the water. 

He slowly started to walk to the kitchen when he stopped ''What the fuck do mermaid eat?''

Sushi. That is what he arrived back with it was the only thing that his mind allowed him to think of when he walked through the door he found her eyes peeping just over the edge there was something about her child like behaviour that Levi found himself becoming attracted to ''I brought you something to eat'' he knelt near the end of the pool he picked up a piece with some chopsticks and held it out to her she looked at it and then at him before accepting it.

Her eyes widened and she clapped her hands together in enjoyment ''Would you like some more'' she nodded and Levi picked up another piece. This was weird even to him it's not every day you hand feed a mermaid it sounded almost like the start of a joke. ''Hey, what's your name?''

''(Y/N)''

''Well, it's nice to meet you I'm Levi''

~*~

It's been a week since Levi had come to your rescue even though he was a short tempered man he was also very sweet he'd come by every day to talk and bring you food as the days went on you found yourself becoming attached to the dark haired man you were unsure of your exact feelings towards him.

''Nee Levi, come swim with me!'' 

''No''

''Why not?'' the male scoffed ''I don't want to get wet'' you narrow your eyebrows in annoyance ''What you reading?''

''Shakespeare'' you tilted your head to the side ''Nee Levi, will you read to me?'' he peered over the edge of the book ''Read to you?'' you nodded he sighed and pulled himself off the chair and sat crossed legged near the edge of the pool not before placing down a blanket as he was reading you found yourself moving from leaning on the pool to practically being in his lap it was only when you started to cough that he stopped and helped you back into the water.

''Hey (Y/N) do you miss being back in the ocean?'' he question took you back slightly you pondered it before answering ''No, I was alone my family had died when I was young none of the others wanted to look after me so I grew up alone that's why I like it here because I'm not alone I have you'' you smiled at him the corners of his lips twitched upwards slightly and he ruffled your hair ''That's good to know, it's getting late you should sleep''

When the door closed you dived back under the water swimming to the middle were you willing to do it? To make the ultimate sacrifice that a mermaid could make? The sacrifice of giving up your tail for legs, yes it was possible many merpeople gave up their tails when the great war happened over a hundred years ago to escape the fear of being enclosed.

You closed your eyes and placed your hands over your chest you stated to recite a chant that your mother had taught you before she died a ball of light surrounded you - you smiled before falling asleep.

Light invaded your eyes the familiar feeling of water was gone you bolted up you looked down legs now replaced the tail that was once there you felt bare and wrapped yourself in the blanket that Levi left on the floor. The door opened Levi walked in ''I have break- Holy mother of fuck!'' he dropped the tray that he was holding before he came running over to you ''What happened, why, how do you have legs?!'' 

You played dumb ''I-I don't know I woke up and I have these'' you wiggled your toes ''Here let me help you up'' he pulled you up your new legs felt weird he walked backwards a bit and you made your first steps it was a lot harder that you first thought and you fell face first into Levi's chest you started to cry out of fear - had you made the wrong choice?

Levi cupped your face with one hand supporting your body with the other ''Hey, hey what's wrong?'' 

''I'm scared Levi, I'm scared'' he shook his head ''There isn't any need to be afraid because I'll be here with you every step of the way'' he pressed his lips onto yours it was soft and gentle he pulled away you looked into his eyes before leaning in for another.

It was at that moment you knew - you made the right choice.
