Three sirens

The discovery

It had been three months since Ella came to the town of salinas. she had become great friends with Lizzie and Brier.
It was a rainy Sunday afternoon Lizzie,ella and brier where at briers house looking through old books in her attic when one book caught Ella's attention it was in the back of the attic under old clothes. It was a brown leather book with a picture of a mermaid on it.
"Hey guys you got to see this" said Ella,"what is it" asked Lizzie with s curious look on her face. "I don't know do Brier" , "know what" asked Brier, "know anything about this book" said Ella. "nope" it was here when my parents moved in here 20 years ago.
"Lets open it" said Lizzie who loved to learn about different things.
The girls opened the book inside there where letters from some one named Julie.
"The first chapter" read Brier " once there where three young women who where loved by everyone they met, they did not have to work or do anything because men would give anything to them. They where greedy and did not care about lesser folk as they called them. This made the goddess of the sea very unhappy so she cursed the girls to the sea. Human by land half fish by water never to die. yet the girls found away to not be bound by the sea so they killed them selves. The goddess was mad that her planed failed so she cursed three girls in the future would have the same fate but they. Could not kill them selves and they would never die.
"That goddess must have really hated them", said Lizzie. "read more" whined Ella, "ok,ok"
"The mermaids" read Brier "are creatures who take down ships and sailors with them. know ones why they do it but it's said the goddesses wanted to put them in pain for what the did so she made attack and eat their sailor loves. The girls loved the taste so continued to feast of man."
" what time is it" asked Ella, "10:00pm" said Lizzie. "got to go, see you tomorrow" said Ella
On her way home she could not stop thinking about the mermaids.
