Chapter 16: Beneath the surface
Drizzt sighed to himself. He was exhausted beyond what he ever had thought possible – the six mermaids each had a hunger that could rival that of Catti-brie when she was at her worst... Lying on his side on the mossy bed, a sleeping mermaid’s arm draped over his waist, he again and again looked around in the cave, trying to find some method in which he could escape this place.
Carefully, he wriggled out from beneath the mermaid, managing to do so without waking her, and pulled on his soaked clothes. Though they were both wet and cold, he felt more comfortable with them on. He stood and looked over the cave. The five other mermaids were asleep too, some floating in the water, others in the other niches. However, he noticed a shadow at one side of the cave – a shadow that seemed deeper than the rest, and he could not help but to hope it was a tunnel leading out.
Stepping over the mermaid sharing his niche, he slipped into the water again – as before gasping slightly because of the chilliness – and carefully made his way over to the over side of the lake, hanging on to the wall.
To his great joy, it turned out to be a tunnel, as he had hoped, and as far as he could see, it led at least a few hundred feet into the cave wall. He grabbed around the wet, slippery edge of the tunnel, and was about to pull himself up, when something tapped his shoulder. Horrified, he looked over his shoulder and saw one of the mermaids – a smirk on her face. Suddenly, she grabbed his left shoulder and forced him around so he was facing her – losing his grip on the edge in the process – and pressed against him, locking their lips together before he managed to make any protest. He could feel her lower body moving against his, bringing intimate areas together, and he pushed at her shoulders, trying to get her away.
But, to his great horror, he did not manage to. Iad, ad, she ceaseepieeping them up, and pulled him under the water. He tried to kick in the water, tried to get them back up, but to no avail. One hand entwined in his hair ensured he could not get away, the other grabbing his hip as the mermaid’s tail moved against his lower regions, teasing and promising.
All of a sudden, he felt his back come into contact with the rocks on the bottom of the lake, the mermaid hovering over him like a foreboding shadow. She released his hair, instead holding him down with a strong hand on his right hip, while the other hand went to work on the lacings of his breeches, the mermaid carrying the look of a starved dog coming across a carcass.
Drizzt tried desperately to get free, feeling his lungs burning already from the lack of air, but he could not break her grip, nor could he pry her fingers off him. Looking around frantically, trying to find something he could use to knock out the mermaid, or at least stun her long enough to get loose and get to the surface, his fingers brushed against an odd-feeling rock. Deciding it would do, he pulled it from the large rocks it was hidden in and swung it at the mermaid. It connected with her skull with a crack that could be heard even below water, and she screamed out, then released him and fled. His pulse racing, Drizzt spend a few valuable seconds looking after the female, ensuring she would not come back, and then looked briefly down at the rock he held. Only, he found he was not looking at a rock, but at a human skull... The remains of the mermaids’ last lover.
He threw the skull in shock, kicking at the water and swimming upwards, wanting to get out of the cave as fast as possible. But, as he glanced down, he saw the bottom of the lake was littered with the bones of humanoids. Realizing the danger he was in, he clawed at the water, desperate for reaching the surface as fast as possible.
His head broke the surface, gasping for air, and grabbed the edge of the tunnel, starting to pull himself up. A horrifying scream resounded through the cave, and glancing over his shoulder as before, he saw that all six mermaids were awake, and were heading towards him at full speed, their once-fair features twisted with rage. His eyes widened in terror as he saw one of the mermaids wielding a bone club – one that still had enough flesh to show it once had belonge a d a dwarf. A club that clearly had been chewed on…
Fighting the sickness he suddenly felt, he clawed at the tunnel’s sides, his fingers starting to bleed again as the barely-healed wounds were ripped open again, his feet kicking at the wall as he fought to get into the tunnel before the mermaids reached him. He was almost in, when a pair of impossibly strong hands grabbed around his left foot, and started pulling him back to the lake. Desperately, he dug his already-torn fingers into the sides of the tunnel and kicked out with his right leg, feeling it connect with something solid that didn’t belong to him, and his foot was loose. Another pair of hands grabbed the leg of his trousers, but a mighty tug, a ripping sound, and he suddenly was free. The mermaids screamed in rage, and he hurriedly pulled his legs in, then looked back. The half-fish were clawing at the tunnel, trying to reach him, but in vain – their bodies did not let them get very far in, and thus Drizzt exhaled in relief, knowing he was safe. Turning around, he started crawling through the tunnel, leaving the cave and the mermaids behind.
