Mermaids Forest

Mermaid Forest-

Yuta falls asleep under a tree Mana

goes to play with a kitten she found.

When Yuta wakes up, he can't find Mana

anywhere and finds out that there was a

accident and a young girl was hit by a car.

Yuta goes to the doctor's office where

Mana was supposed to have been taken,

and the doctor told Yuta that Mana was

not seriously injured and had left. When

Yuta STILL Can't find Mana, he realizes

that something is very wrong and follows

the doctor up to a huge mansion where

all sorts of strange things have been

happening over the decades.

Two women lived there, the ancient Sawa

and the youthful, but ill Towa. The old woman

Sawa is actually the twin sister of Towa,

who appears to be several decades younger.

Sawa was given control of the

family legacy, "Mermaid Hill," a hill where

the corpse of a mermaid was supposed to be

buried. Sawa found out that eating the body

of a mermaid could bring immortality or

turn a person into a monster. Sawa

desired immortality, and decided to test

out some of the mermaid's blood on her

fatally ill sister, Towa. Sawa figured that

since Towa was her twin, anything that

happened to her was likely to happen to

Sawa also. Towa and her dog both ended up

taking the mermaids blood because of Sawa,

and Towa's hair instantly turn white and her hand

turned into a "lost soul's" lost soul.  Towa remained

young-looking on the outside, although she was aging and

dying on the inside. Her hand often

began to pain her, so she would acquire the corpses of

gijrls who had died and cut off the girls' arms [and her own]

and then reattach the new "human" arm to herself which

would instantly heal. However, the human arm would only

last for a while. Then it would turn black into a claw.

Mana was hit by a very large truck and "died" when she ran across the road while Yuta was sleeping. She was

taken to the doctor's office and the doctor, not

knowing that Mana could come back to life, took her up

give to his fiancée toward who used the arms of recently dead

girls to replace her own mutated one.

When Mana came back to life at the mansion,

she shocked everyone. She surpised

them even MORE when she revealed that

she had eaten mermaid's flesh and was immortal.

Towa began to plan on going to use Mana to her

advantage, but Mana was too innocent to understand

that Towa was anything else but a kind woman, completely

fooled by Towa's façade. Mana spends her days as a

"guest" at the mansion wondering why Yuta has not

come for her yet. Mana did not realize that he

was already there...but Towa had "taken care"

of him already...

This is an Japanese Story of folklore . When I first

posted it I really didn't understand the story. I still don't but

I have a little better idea of the story. Its a little creepy in a weird kinda  way. I am interested in what you all might think? Wendy =ooo)
