The Siren

Another Lifetime

Amelia POV:

Why in the hell did they get so silent?

"You're her girlfriend?" Ashanti said cocking her head to the side.

"Yes, I am ma'am." I kept my head down out of fear.

Yeah the woman is tiny but I scurred. Eric seems like a big teddy bear.

"She never told us that she was into studs-ow what did you do that for?" Eric said.

"Don't be rude Eric! But, did y'all have sex." Ashanti glared at me.

Shit.

"So Garcia, got anything?" I tried to change the subject.

"Y'all did! I swear when I see Pearl I will-" Her violent hand gestures got cut off.

"So, we have a lead. We tracked her licenses plate from the EZ tag toll on the highway. She is heading towards the Chihuahuan Desert. Apparently there is an abandoned factory there. She could possibly be there." Officer Garcia said as she drew on a map.

Even though it has been 3 days, I already miss her. She could be hurt, scared, or even... I don't wanna even think about it.

"I will lead the rescue team. All of you, stay here. We have been keeping tabs on Shyanne for a while for criminal activity and creepy behavior for a while. She also has 6 restraining orders against her so she is dangerous. Stay here. Do not move. Especially you." He looked me up and down.

"Okay fine I won't leave." I did in that voice you make behind yo mama back when youn wanna go the dishes.

Once he left and so did the rest of the rescue team, I snatched my moms keys.

"Are you deaf, did you not hear what he said?! Gimme dem keys." My mom wrestled the keys out of my grip.

"Please mom, I have to go after her. I love her and if anything happens to her, I don't know if I would be able to live with myself. Please, let me go." My voice creaked in between my words.

"Okay fine, but I'm bringing my guns and coming with you." She reloaded her purse pistol and her glock. Yeah my momma stay strapped.

"So are we." Her parents stood up.

"Nonononono all due respect but y'all are #1:mermaids and Shyanne will do anything to get her hands on y'all & 2:if anything happens to you, Pearl will never be able to forgive herself so please stay here." I begged.

"You're right but I don't care if I die saving my daughter, it has been nearly 6 months since I last seen her and I am barely hanging on. If I die, at least I will see her one last time." Eric shrugged and Ashanti nodded in agreement.

"Okay, let's go." We all walked out the office and looked around before we left. Practically no one was here. The lobby, offices, desks and guard stations were damn near empty.

We hopped into the car and put in the address for the abandoned building.

Lord, I know I don't pray often but please keep her safe for me.

Pearl POV:

It's like this desert is endless.

We have been driving for the past 4 hours on this rickety dirt road.

We hit a scorpion, meerkat and what I think is a coyote.

I looked in the front mirror and saw a car following us.

It got closer and closer...oh crap not the devil.

Her crazed smile is so big you would think it was painted on.
