Quiet, she had gone quiet last night, of course it pained her to lay still in such a small area, she may have been quiet but in her silence she listened, carefully and silently listen, and in her listening she heard everything, and yes yes it was saddening, somewhere she thought she was fitting in but as it turned out, she really wasn't. Scales in common didn't mean people accepted you. but thats alright it helped her in her resolve.
Plans had changed no longer was the plan to break out and kill harley for locking her away during the craziness of that event, not anymore,now the plan was to wait until they left her alone, this tank was steel and the weakening she had done through the night would make her escape rather fast. and then She was gone, gone and and safe. Probably would return to the pod and enlist in the war party to better learn to use her abilities. that and to get stronger, it was humiliating everything was ever since she'd gotten here she had been forced out of her human form, molested in public and now locked in a glorified tin can.
No more, now she was going to get stronger, strong enough to keep people from doing what they wished of her. The elders where probably right she really was too young to leave the pod. she should have stayed and learned to better defend herself. As those thoughts bounced around in her head she shed the skirt she was wearing it would only serve to keep her in her mer form when she got out of here.
Silence now, apparently they had indeed forgotten about her, now was the best chance she got, a few circles swam around the small box, mostly to work loose the tension that built up from a night of sitting completely still. and then she gave a great kick of her tail sending her body flying into weakened section of the box she had weakened throughout the night, from the clawing she had done the triangular section popped out, and fell a foot or two from the tank, which in result flooded the area completely with the salt water that was in the tank.
She rode the current out of the tank, though there the mermaid hit the ground hard and skittered across the floor in the rush of water before using her claws to drag her body across the park to the door, and out of the salt water so her body would revert back to its human form. as fast as she could she pulled herself with her arms to the door, where she could get to her car. and get the hell out of here.
the door it took an enormous effort to open especially with the super human strength she had, of course she wasn't really at her best right now, quite literally like a fish out of water. so the door wasn't spared her anger at the moment and didn't really resemble a door when she was finished. in her pulling over the floor her body started to dry and shift back to legs. across the pavement she crawled, painfully up to her car, where the unlock code was punched into the keypad and she pulled into the driver seat of her car running her hands back through her hair her legs slowly returning to her, she reached underneath the passenger seat and pulled her purse from it, producing her keys from the middle pouch.
Painfully pushing down on her break pedal with an awkward fin that was currently phasing back to a foot.the hybrid started and put into reverse, Monti'que used the cruise control set button to push the car backwards as the machine pressed the gas pedal for her.
Turning the wheel when she hit the street the mermaid gave a yelp as once again she painfully pressed down on the pedal for the break, throwing the car into drive her thumb once again pressed down upon the cruise control setting button , which power the car forward.
Yes her skin was bluish green, and her legs where still covered in scales and connected at the ankle but she was free, free and going home. A hand carefully pulled from the wheel and pushed her hair back again. back to the wheel and she was on her way to the beach, she needed to be somewhere people couldn't get to her, in her own domain, her own world. a red light and she was able to press the break with her bare foot, though there where still scales peppering her body, she didn't need them to fade completely. After all she was only going to get back into the water.
The Drive was short and rather uneventful, this was an ocean front town so there was always some ocean within a few minutes. carefully she pulled up to a parking lot, grabbing a parking ticket from the machine there and pulling into a space and throwing the car into park. carefully the keys where placed back underneath the passenger seat along with her purse. and she stepped from the car, and locked the door before closing the door.
And from there the mermaid broke into a full run, bolting past rather surprised beach goers and diving into an on coming wave, staying underneath the water as her body rather painfully once again returned to it natural form. and it was then that Montique swam, and did not stop. who knows when she finally would.
