"Hey, mister? Mister? Can you hear me?"

a soothing voice speaks to you as you feel the gentlest of touches against your chest.

"Please be okay. Please..."

Your vision finally focuses on the woman above you. She has wet, long black hair that clings to her scalp and shoulders. Her golden eyes soften as she sees you coming to.

"Oh, good. You're not dead... I was worried I was too late."

She gently taps her fingernails against your chest.

"I couldn't feel a heartbeat,"

she tells you worriedly, as she was in fact feeling the completely wrong side of your chest.

"I really don't know much about humans,"

she punctuates her lack of knowledge by flicking her tail.

Your eyes widen as you notice her abnormal tail and her seasalt smell. You knew for certain she wasn't a human, so what was she?
