The splashing of the water, the pained screams of my sisters and brothers could be heard echoing in the waters, the water was stained with a blood red turning the sea into a red nightmare. My sisters and brothers, my father and mother and uncles and cousins. They died for me. I loved them more than anything else and that is why it hurt to hear them screaming. As I hid in a small cave i saw the ship above and the pirates slaughtering everything that moves, they killed my people, sirens, elves, vampires, everybody. Once the onslaught was over I emerged out of the cave to the the beach covered in blood but no body's, I don't have time to mourn them because the sound of footsteps and maniacal laughter approaching quickly. I dove into the water, my legs turning back into my beautiful black and forest green tail. I swam to a big rock for cover so I could hear what the group of pirates were talking about, I had a good view  from there and also a better view of the pirates, they were tall, muscular men with long braids tied together at the side of their head, they looked like Vikings, or the Romans.They stood around a giant wooden log with some sort of symbol on it, a sword, I can tell by looking at it. " In the midst of the pirates was a boy about my age staring at me with awe and mesmerizing excitement, he quietly slipped away from the pirates and came my way but I dove back into the water before he could get close. When I resurfaced he was so close to my face, staring deeply into my eyes, I move back and dive back into the water swimming upstream and he followed. As I swam father upstream I got antsy and dove down to enter the cave, on the bottom of this island was a underwater cave that was the definition of beautiful in the middle of the cave was a large tree without and leaves instead being replaced by a variety of seashells, pearls and gold it was stunning. Exploring the large cave completely exhausted me so I found a giant clam and finally rested, putting this horrible day behind me.

THE BOYS P.O.V
After leaving home to go on a hunting trip we facade across an island littered with sirens and other magical creatures, to me I think all magical creatures are amazing and are so incredible and they shouldn't be hunted and enslaved but free just like us humans, but that will never come true because humans a convinced that their on top of the food chain and will kill anything that surpasses them but in short terms humans have huge egos and are very self centered. As we approached the island I could see the other pirates loading harpoons readying to throw them and that's what they did as soon as the ship got close enough they launched the harpoons, killing some sirens in the water and hitting other points on like arms and legs to the other creatures on the shore. We docked on the shore and the anchor was cast holding the ship were it stood, the bridge was lowered down and made a loud thump went it hit the sand after it was lowered there was some silence for the first time but then the silence was killed with the loud heavy footsteps and war cries of the pirates exiting the ship to kill those poor creatures. I watched as they mercilessly killed them all leaving none alive and after they were done killing them they moved further down the island, since I had been stuck on this boat with no other human interaction than these slobs that call themselves men I got off the ship and stepped onto the soft white sand. I followed the group of slobs until I found them coming back to the ship with dead bodies and of course they walk right past me not even batting an eye at me but I'm used to it at this point so I carry on, while walking I heard the crowd behind me I wondered what their back for, probably treasure, I thought since it's the only reason sirens tend to hoard shiny objects so that includes expensive and rare jewels and gold. It's basically the first pace you would go to if you wanted to find treasure but sirens are very aggressive and get agitated very easily so it's heavily advised that you go in a large group. I stand at the very edge of the group my back facing them, as I start to day dream I see a siren with beautiful dark skin and eyes as yellow as the sun but as sharp as steel, I looked at her in awe trying to process how beautiful she was I quietly slipped away and approached her but she quickly hid under the water I bent down trying to find her when she resurfaced and our faces were almost touching. I looked into her eyes she seemed scared but not at the same time like she wanted to be scared but something was telling not to be but like before she went down under and I saw that she was heading up stream so I followed but I ended up losing her at the end of the island.
