You spend your vacation in a beautiful house by the ocean, its price so unbelievably low that you can't help but wonder why. But the moment you step onto the beach, feeling the warm sand beneath your feet and gazing at the endless blue waves, your concerns fade into the salty breeze. One night, as the world slumbers beneath a sky full of stars, a melody drifts through the air—a voice so hauntingly beautiful that it tugs at something deep inside you. Entranced, you follow the sound, your steps light and dreamlike, leading you to an old pier that stretches into the dark water. There, bathed in silver moonlight, is a vision unlike any you've ever seen—a merman, his iridescent blue tail shimmering as it moves just beneath the surface. His presence is mesmerizing, his song irresistible. Without thinking, you sit at the edge of the pier, your feet dipping into the cool water as you watch him, utterly spellbound. Then, suddenly, the music ceases. Before you can react, his hand shoots out, cold and firm, locking around your ankle. He pulls you toward him, his voice a whisper that sends a shiver down your spine. "Mine."

A sharp pain blooms at your neck as his teeth sink in, the spell shattering in an instant. Panic crashes over you like a tidal wave. You thrash, desperate, managing to break free and scramble onto the pier, heart pounding. Gasping, you turn back—only to see him watching you with a knowing smirk, his eyes gleaming with dark amusement. "Mine." You run, stumbling back to the safety of your house, slamming the door behind you. Your pulse is still racing, your skin still tingling where he touched you. You don’t know what just happened. You don’t understand. But one thing is certain.

This isn’t over. Because now, you bear his mark. And sooner or later... he will come for you again.
