After a peaceful break at the beach... Zane returns home before dinner time just in time, he gets out of his car and unlocks the door to enter his home. Seeing his mother and his father cooking some crispy chicken cobb salad and garlic bread.
"Hey, honey, are you feeling OK?" said Kevlyn. "Yes, I just saw someone new at the beach today. A long-haired woman was wearing a black dress and singing at the beach, she was dark-skinned. She sways her hips side to side like she's dancing beautifully and then she looked at me and winked at me. And then the next thing is that she disappeared into the ocean. It seems like she came out of nowhere before she entered the ocean, I thought she's gonna drown herself," said Zane.
"You see a beautiful woman going into the ocean and then she disappears," said Obinna. "Yeah, I thought I was dreaming but it was so real," said Zane. "I believe that the woman was a siren," said Kevlyn. "A siren?" said Zane, who didn't know what a siren meant to him. "A siren is a mythical sea creature that lures people with their charming voices when they sing to entice them. They may be the same as the mermaids, but they reside in the sea as well," said Kevlyn. Obinna nodded as he agreed with his wife's words about what a siren meant. "Gosh," said Zane, listening to what sirens mean in a mythological definition. "Yep," said Kevlyn.
"I gotta go wash my hands before we all eat our dinner," said Zane. "O dara, ọmọ (OK, son)," said Obinna, talking to Zane in Yoruba language.
The family began to eat their dinner time while their dog DJ ate his bowl of dog food for the evening time.
After dinner-time in the evening... Zane is taking a bath in the second bathroom upstairs, he starts to imagine about the woman he saw earlier in the evening. He slides down, putting his face into the water in the bathtub.
~In his imagination~
Zane is at the beach alone at night-time, he sees the full moon shining in the night skies. Nobody was around the beach, and the purple fog came. The same dark-skinned woman he saw at the beach walked through the fog and came out of the sea, the woman looking at him with a mysterious look on her face.
Zane is amazed to see her beauty and her siren appearance becomes enticing to him. Coming face to face, the woman grinned at him innocently and enlightened, and she walked towards him. Zane becomes a little nervous meeting her, but he has to keep things calm.
As the woman stands closer to him, she caresses his red-ginger hair and admires his handsomeness while taking a great look at the Afro-Nigerian blood in him. She slowly gets her face closer to his...
But the voice called his name.
~At the end of his imagination~
Zane lifts his face from the water in the bathtub, beginning to breathe the air after putting himself in the water in the bathtub. "Zane, are you OK in there?" said Perry, who was in the hallway, knocking on the door. "Yeah, I'm OK. I'm just relaxing in the bathtub right now. I'm just imagining things while relaxing my mind," said Zane.
"Oh, OK, just checking on you, that's all," said Perry. "OK," said Zane, breathing. Zane's hair is all wet, and so is his face. After the bath, Zane is all dressed up in his pajamas after drying himself up after taking a relaxing, calming bath. Zane turns on his laptop to look up sirens on the website. As he searches them online on Google Search, he sees what the sirens look like in the pictures: they are half-women and half-birds and most of them are sea mermaid-like monsters and dark feminine mermaids.
"Oh my god, I think I saw a mermaid with a dark feminine appearance," said Zane, talking to himself.
At midnight... Everyone was asleep in their bedrooms, there was a loud noise downstairs. Zane immediately wakes up, hearing the noise downstairs. Zane opens the door quietly, he picks up the bat behind the door. Perry also opened the door, startling Zane. Zane turns to see who's behind him, but he sees his cousin Perry and DJ behind him. They quietly tiptoed downstairs, they tiptoed to the living room and discovered the same masked suspect who was looking for something to steal.
"What the hell?" said Zane as he and Perry caught the suspect trying to steal. The masked suspect turned to look at Zane and Perry when they caught him lurking in their home.
The suspect tries to run away, but Zane runs to him and beats him in the head with the bat. The suspect continues to run off after being hit by Zane. Zane's parents, Jack, and Imani came downstairs to see what was going on downstairs in the living room. "Cad atá ar siúl anseo (What's going on here?)?" asked Kevlyn, speaking to Perry and Zane in Irish-Gaelic language. "Tá an gadaí maisc céanna snoite isteach sa teach (Tá an gadaí maisc céanna snoite isteach sa teach)," said Zane, also speaking Irish language to his mother.
Obinna goes to check on the cameras outside but finds the cameras being sabotaged magically. "Oh, rara (Oh, no)," said Obinna, finding the security cameras being sabotaged by magic.
"The cameras are sabotaged," said Obinna, talking to Kevyln. "What?" said Imani, shocked. "Oh, God," said Jack.
