Fear invading my nose as I rise to the surface, a massive ship sales on the blue water. most of the fear is about the Captain throwing them overboard to feed the sharks. I don't understand when they think of the sharks, the sharks aren't bad unless you bother them badly. I swam closer to the ship with almost half of my upper body sticking out of the water. You can't be rushed into it I need to find who's on board. I began to sing.

'Sailor, Sailor. Come to me, oh come to me, Sailor, Sailor. I need you, Sailor. Sailor grab a boat, sail to me, sail to me.'

The sailors came to the edge of the ship and saw me in the water, my half upper body out of the water. The sailors stared at me like they all do, Mesmerized.

'Captain, Captain' I sang waiting for the Captain to come.

The captain came to the side of the boat, the look of my mesmerizing voice in their eyes. The look that leads them to their deaths, that I never get tired of.

'Say the words Captain, Come to me, Come to me.' I sing as a lullaby as I beckon them with my hand to come with me. the Captain says the order as the sailors gladly follow. One by one they tumble into a side boat, Patience I think, Patience. They row the boat to me, eager to get to me, eager for me to sing. I pull the boat closer by the side with my hand and put my arms crisscross and gently set my chin on my arms.

"Why are you scared?" I asked a young sailor.

"I am not scared." said the young sailor.

I slid my hand under the boat and pulled out a peace of wood. Then another and another. I brought my hand up, away from the bottom and wiped the thick brown hair out of the way of his eyes. I slid my hand down to his chin and I started to go under the water and waited for them to move the slightest move and break the bottom of the side boat.
Snap, splinters of wood came from the bottom of the side boat. Filling my nose with the sweet aroma of fear, my chance came and I snatched the first sailor from the water. Pulling him deep down in the water, i see the life in his eyes escape as his mouth gapes for the air he could not get.
Most of the sailors were swimming back. I dive under the thrashing sea and pull down the first one closest to the ship, i trap him with my tail and sink the next closest to me. Panic and fear raced through my mind, soaking me with the sweet scent of fear all around me. A sailor still swimming towards the ship, reeked with desperation. His ankle snapped and blood stained the water around him. I watched him scream in the wine colored water, drowning to my amusement. The sailors that were floating, helpless, gave in easily to the pain of drowning. Another sailor lay there, floating above the water, gazing at the sky, almost lifeless. I drift over to him and hover for a moment, his hazy eyes flicker to meet my gaze.

"You've been bad, haven't you?" I say with a smile, my teeth white and piercing fanged, almost laughing at the silence that he'll be. I grab his thin arms and pull him below the moon lit water. I watch him kick at me with all the weak strength that he has. He goes limp, as if pretending death. I let go and watch him float to the top of the water. I gaze up to the top of the water, everything seemingly still. Above the surface a glow of red and orange, fire, blazes away at the unkept ship. Turning away from my beautiful destruction, i leave it to sink, where it belongs.
