Message: How had she gotten to this terrifying place? The mermaid really wasn't sure. All she knew was that it was cold and dark and terrifying and all she really wanted was to find her way back out.
Creeping through the cold hallways, she shivered, though more from fright than from being cold. Other than the sound of her footsteps echoing off the walls, everything else seemed so...eerily silent. That was, until she found herself in one room in particular.
The first thing she heard was the sound of chains rattling slightly from the center of the room. Eyes wide, she quickly turned to the source of the sound. There, covered in chains and bindings, was a...cat? They looked like a cat. Her heartbeat quickened, and she backed herself up against the wall. Cats were very suspicious creatures, after all!
After a moment or two of studying them, however, she began to feel awful sorry for the poor creature. Even if they were a cat, it seemed awfully terrible for them to be locked up like they were.
Slowly inching closer, the mermaid crept forward until she was standing just out of the cat girl's reach.
"A-a-re you okay..?" She stammered nervously. "H-how come y-you're all l-locked up? W-were you bad..?"
Of course, it did suddenly dawn on her that the cat creature wouldn't be able to answer her with her mouth covered as it was. Looking down sadly, the mermaid fidgeted a little until an idea came to her childish mind. Pulling off the pearls she had been wearing, she very, very carefully inched closer and draped them around the cat creature's neck. There wasn't much she could do about the chains, but maybe her present would help her feel better?
The sudden sound of footsteps had her gasping, and quickly scrambling for an exit. "I-I-I'm s-sorry..." She stammered, giving one last sad look before scampering away and returning to try and find her way out.

My avi at the time:
Personal reply to it:
As I rest in darken mysterious room, for reasons unknown to me. I rest there bound and muzzled. Unable to move from the room, and unable to call out. Within my room, I hear the sound of steps echo by, but not expecting anyone other than the one who might have chained me here I keep my head mostly down, looking around.
As the sounds of movement drew closer,I stiffened up, wiggling unconsciously my chains. as the sounds of movement drew near. Upon which looking up a little I see a peculiar girl peek in for a bit before she quietly crept nearby.
I just look back and stare nervously still, unable to do anything else.
"A-a-re you okay..?" She stammered nervously. "H-how come y-you're all l-locked up? W-were you bad..?"
I thought about answering, but remembered I couldn't even if I wanted to with my mask. Looks like the this frightened girl was lost here too but free. I only look back sadly, not even making a sound with my mouth. We look to each for a bit before she happened to have an idea of sorts and approached me. Around my neck was now a necklace of pearls, they were quite pretty shining off what little light was around.
Steps echoed again, but they were not hers.
"I-I-I'm s-sorry..." She stammered, giving one last sad look before scampering away, looking for the exit.
Though I remained trapped, and alone again, at least her gift left me covered smile.
'I hope she makes it out.' I think to myself.
