“The vast ocean was ahead of us on our boat. Oceans for miles never ending till land approaches. The boat swayed lightly with the waves. The fisherman hummed his songs and shanties. I wanted to sing too, my voice lifted from the ocean into the fisherman’s ear. He looked over to where my voice was. He smiled. I lifted myself onto his boat, still singing my luring tune. He is unaware that I’m on his boat. I transformed into my human form in a dress. I walked behind him grabbing his neck.”

I read aloud to my sister seeing her smile. She loves sirens and mermaids. She got up from my lap and sat in her bed “thank you sis” she said smiling I nodded “tomorrow we can read the rest, ok?” I said she nodded. I opened her door and closed it. I walked to the kitchen, grabbed a coke and cooked some popcorn. I went upstairs to my room and closed my door behind me. I grabbed my remote and watched a movie. After it was done I threw away my coke and placed my bowl on my nightstand. I  laid under my covers falling asleep hearing a voice,I ignored the voice falling asleep. I woke up in a weird cabin. I looked around confused “your awake traveler” I screamed realizing I was in different clothes. He looked at me “no worries traveler I found you in those and refrained from changing you” he said chuckling I felt a pain in my side lifting my shirt I saw a wound covered with gauze I hissed from the pain when  I touched it ”don’t touch your wounds traveler” he said making me jump he laughed and handed me a piece of bread. I grabbed it and sniffed it, hesitating to eat it. I took a piece off and ate it. My eyes lit up with the flavor of the bread feeling my hunger. I took big bites finishing it. He looked at me shocked but pleased that i ate. I looked around the cabin, seeing fishing supplies and a knife collection. I went to stand but stumbled and tripped “do you need help?“ I shook my head standing up wobbly. He nodded and watched me stand and walk to the window looking out seeing a field. “Are you expecting someone?” He said, concerned  “My sister, how do I get back?” I said confused, “get back?”  He said my head raced with thoughts I felt myself get dizzy and I fell blacking out. I woke up to an empty cabin and got up running to the door ignoring my pain. I looked out the door opening it. I saw a cow but a purplish hue to its spots. I take a step out feeling the heat. The sun blinds my eyes as I look up. I cover my eyes and squint at the ground. “Traveler?” A man says I look up I realize it’s him I sigh and look at him he walks past me into the cabin I follow behind him and watch him place plants and a bag on the table. He sighed and opened the bag revealing bloody meat. I looked away and gagged “don’t be a baby traveler” he said angrily “I’m sorry” I said softly and went onto the bed and sat. He sighed and walked over “I’m sorry” he said by the entrance of the room “what’s your name traveler?” He continued “Nina” I say softly he nods and leaves and continues making dinner. I look in the window and see the cow is gone. I felt sick to my stomach and touched my side and looked at my hand. Blood. I coughed up blood and I fell on my knees coughing heavily. I heard him in the kitchen humming. I grasped the window feeling sick.  “Help” I barely gasped out he didn’t hear her. She was on the ground convulsing. Seizure. She passed out. He walked over to the room to tell her there's food ready to see her seizing. She woke up in the bed again. She felt aches in her stomach and gasped when she moved. “Nina your wounds got infected” the guy said she hissed laying back down. He walked out of the room going outside. 

I felt the pain everywhere. I relaxed trying to sleep. I woke up to the smell of food. I liftd my head to see food next too me. I realized how hungry i was when i smelt it. I grabbed it and took small bites finishing it slowly. He came back in and saw me "thank good your awake" he says softly taking the plate going back outside. I was left confused but still feel ing the ache in my side made me want to sleep some more so i closed my eyes and let myself relax slowly falling asleep.
