Butterfly Effect of Mermaids

32

I climbed onto the stage like crazy and hugged Ryan.

"No, don't do this. Don't die."

There were more and more bubbles on Ryan's body, which surrounded us.

He smiled at me in the colorful bubbles. "Don't cry. I did it voluntarily.

"In the past, and now too."

I didn't understand his words. I hugged him tightly and roared, "No, I don't want you to die.

"Let me die. I'm willing to exchange my life for yours. I'm willing."

Ryan became more and more transparent.

It was as if he would turn into a big bubble in the next second and disappear completely with a gentle touch.

My tears fell like rain. "Please, I beg you.

"Whoever cursed me, please stop. Take me instead. Let me die. Please, I beg you..."

A voice suddenly rang in my ears. "Are you really willing to trade your life for his?"

"I am."

"But your parents gave their lives for yours."

I was completely devastated. "I'm sorry, Mom and Dad. But I really can't watch him die."

"Okay, as you wish."
