Song recommendation- Once Upon a Dream (2nd slide)
...
I felt hands on my chest. Long slender hands, with sharp claws. I heard a soft tune being hummed, a deep angelic voice. I opened my eyes slightly, them filled with water, and blurred. A person? They were gorgeous. Plump lips, soft features. Black eyes? There was no white to them.
I shot up, and coughed up water, scaring the creature into the water. The sound of water dripping was prominent, the reflection of the sea on the walls. I looked around, a head peeping out of the water, with pure black eyes.
"..hello?" I said, crawling toward the water. The creature popped out of the water. He was beautiful, a gold chain adorning his face. Dark black locks of hair sticking to his forehead.
"I didn't think you'd wake.." his voice soft. "I'd thought you drowned."
"W-who are you..?" I said, dazed by his beauty.
"That's not your concern." He simply replied.
"Are you what I think you are?"
"What do you think I am?"
"One of those sirens? The flesh eating monsters?"
He scowled at my question.
"My kind are not monsters." He stated, his pointed toungue flicking through his sharp teeth.
"Can I see you?" I asked, inviting him onto the sand.
"I suppose. But you cannot tell any human scum about this." He said, crawling out of the water up onto the sand. It was the fish tail from before I fell off the boat. The same jewelry, and pale green scales. I stared mesmerized. His top half was just as decorated in jewelry. Bracelets, made out of pearls and golden beads, the same around his waist.
"Yes, I know I'm beautiful. You don't have to stare." He rolled his eyes, them being featureless, yet so mesmerizing. I looked away, clearing my throat.
"Sorry. I didn't mean to stare."
"I know you didn't. That's how a siren is supposed to be. My kind is supposed to be so mesmerizing you can't look away." He replied.
"So you're..you're not gonna eat me?" I asked with caution.
"No. I only feed off the dead. I'm no killer." He scoffed.
"So you do eat..human flesh?" I said, still cautious.
"Of course. I'm a siren, I don't have these teeth for nothing." He chuckles softly, flashing his sharp teeth. I laughed along with him, though I didn't really find it funny. Great, now I'm stuck in the hands of a siren. Those beautiful hands..so gorgeous.
"You should probably leave. My place is not yours." He said, returning to water.
"So you were going to eat me?" I replied.
"Well, before I knew you were alive." He answered.
"Then why were you holding me like that?" I asked.
"Because, I thought you were pretty." I could feel my face heating up.
"You think I'm pretty?" My face was in a blush.
"Yes. You're well built. Well fed. Good bone structure. You're a sailor, correct?" He asked.
"I wouldn't really call myself a sailor, I just help my uncle ship things." I replied.
"So a sailor. I like it." He smiled, with those sharp teeth, "the town isn't far off from here. You could swim back. You're no use to me." He said.
"Wait, before I leave, what's you're name?" I asked.
"My name is Hyunjin." I smiled.
"Okay. Thank you, for saving me." He just nodded, and I started to swim back to town.
