The Sailor And His Siren

Stranded

"PATCHES!" Dream screamed running towards her; but she did not really care and just went over to George checking him out. Dream was a bit jealous he couldn't lie but it was also a little cute seeing both fascinated with each other. George seemed to like Patches quite a lot, maybe even a little bit more than Dream would like, but that was not his choice.

"So, I'm guessing her name is Patches then." George said, chuckling a little in between his words. Dream kind of laughed it off hoping George would not see the jealousy. But like I mean, who wouldn't check such a cute merman out?

"Alright, we should make a place we could stay for a while. Are you staying in the water George? I'm conjecturing you are, since you are remotely half fish." Wilbur looked at George while saying the last sentence. George nodded, kind of offended that he just got called a fish, but he was kind of right. George was basically half fish half human. George remembered that he had to go back to his home, so he said his goodbyes and went down with the promise to come back up in the morning. He decided not to tell anyone who he had been talking to and who he had saved, he still did not fully trust them, so he wanted to keep it a secret until he trusted them fully, or I guess Dream since he was the captain.

While George was under water, sleeping, the team were on land trying to get warm and dry, by now it was only Wilbur left who was wet. He usually wore knitted stuff so his clothes would take longer to dry. "Oh, to be home." Wilbur said out loud. Dream looked over to Wilbur and mockingly asked him: "Why? You miss Tommay?" "I do miss him; he is my brother after all."

Sapnap kind of just stared into the distance, but all he saw was water as far as the eye could see. They were really stranded here weren't they. "Guys, in the morning we should start scouting this place and looking for food. We will not survive here if we starve. Maybe George will help us, he probably knows this place better than us anyway." Sapnap muttered. They both agreed to what Sapnap said and decided that they should sleep, tomorrow would be a long day.

George is usually awake way before his family, it's both a gift and a curse since George was also the person to stay up way too late. Well, that did not matter so much, it was a good thing because then George could go and talk to them before doing his duties as a siren. He usually lured in people and his mother or father took care of them, George had always had a sweet spot for humans. He never understood how his family and the whole sea could hate them. I mean yeah they do pollute everything, but they seem very nice. At least Dream. Him and Wilbur seem very nice, at least to George. He was still not sure about Sapnap, I mean don't get me wrong, he seems lovely, but George does not trust him. He seems very suspicious. But I guess that's just how it is meeting new people. Or a human being for that matter. Just as he went out of his thought he was at the surface of the water.

"George!" Sapnap mentions waving to me. Maybe he isn't that mad, George though while smiling back at him and swimming fast. I can't let them know that I am a siren, they might not want to speak to me, I don't want to fuck this up. "Hello Sapnap, where is Dream and Will?" The merman asked. "Idk, they went to look for food and told me to wait here in case you came." He told George smiling.

George just shrugged and swam over to him. They had a little chat, actually quite a long one until Wilbur and Dream came back. "Oh, hey George! I have a question for you." Dream announced to George. George was willing to answer every question that Dream had for him, even what he did as a merman. Or rather a siren, but he did not know that yet. The Dream said: "Do you know any place we could stay or get food from?" "Uhm, yeah but there is like a one km (0.6miles) from here. I could swim you over if you want. There is a little village here."

Dream and Sapnap considered it for a second before Willbur said: "No, I am not getting wet again." He looked quite irritated, so everyone agreed not to do that. "I would go, but I would scare the- actually I have an idea. I'll be back in like half an hour." George said fast and swam away, he thought that he could finally use his siren abilities to help someone, and not kill them. George swam as fast as he could stopping a few meters away from the village. His plan was to lure one of them into his tricks and make them give him some shit. He would need a bag too of some sort. George was a bit nervous, but he believed. He believed that he could do it, he had to for his friends.

George started to sing his siren song shit and it lured someone in. He was kind of cute. But that was not what George was here for. He did some shit with his voice and surprisingly enough he got some stuff. George sang his siren song until he was far enough from the village for them not see him or that he ever was there and far enough so it would not affect his friends.

After some time, he was back to his friends and gave them the stuff. It was enough to keep them in good shape and not cold for like a week at the most. "Holy shit George, this is amazing.", Sapnap was practically screaming at George. George was a little uncomfortable, but Dream and Wilbur gave him a reassuring smile lie this is quite normal for them. And it most likely was too.

"Shit, I have to get back to my parents. I will see you guys' tomorrow." George said and swam fast back to his kingdom. George had to make a good excuse fast. He was just going to say that he was looking around or something like that.

Finally, George was back, and Poseidon, George's father stood there with quite a questionable look on his face. "Where have you been? Me and Amphitrite were looking for you everywhere.", he sounded quite calm but irritated at the same time. George told him his excuse and Poseidon seemed to believe it.

"Father, I have a question for you. I know we have talked about this, but I need to know why you won't let me near people unless we are killing them. Like are all of them just as bad or do you believe some of them could be nice?"

"George don't tell me you talked with humans." Poseidon told George with quite an angry voice.

"No father I promise I haven't. I am just really curious as why you won't let me talk to them like could you give them one chance?"

"You want to know how your sister died George?"

"Yes father."

Poseidon had told George how his sister died, but since he just said that does that mean he was lying to him. Was he always lying to me. Did father keep this from me. But when he told me the first time it seemed so real, well he did have a talent for hiding stuff.

"Well you see-
