They say he found her in the water. The thin, naked girl caught in the weeds below the lighthouse. He pulled her out, pressed his mouth against hers and blew the wind into her still body. She opened her eyes and they were the cold red eyes of a fish. If it gave him pause, he never said so. He took her inside, warmed her, fed her and brought her back to life.
She was lovely in her own way, though her eyes were strange and if you looked closely, there was a thin webbing between her fingers. When he dressed her in human clothes, you could scarcely tell that she was other... except for the webbed fingers... and fish that seemed to swim in and out of her floating hair... and her strange mottled skin.
She never spoke. The villagers say that on the nights of the dark moon they heard her singing in a high, eerie voice, but that seems unlikely. Her face held a slight smile as though laughing at a secret that only she knew. She loved the lighthouse keeper. You could tell by the way she looked at him.
On stormy nights, she would stand on the rocks below the lighthouse and look longingly at the water. She didn't walk in though. Her feet stayed on the land until the night the lighthouse keeper died. She disappeared that night. They found her dress in the weeds below the lighthouse, but they never found a body.
