Siren

The Beginning And the End

Chapter One

Jasper Mccolins remembered this story from his childhood he relived this moment over and over again. The mysterious disappearances didn't make sense neither did the hysteria around the village. Men had drowned leaving their half shrivelled bodies behind. The chilling fact was each man had been found grinning from ear to ear, it was a horrific way to die. He stopped, there were cops surrounding the area patrolling it cautiously he saw Ryan Jonison's mother trembling with pain and trying in vain to contain her anguish. The scene was heart-wrenching as he had always known the Joinson family who were always very considerate. Ryan had been his brother from another mother, the two had been inseparable throughout their teens and he knew instantly who the victim was as soon as he laid eyes on the cascading blond ash curls protruding from the covered white blanket.

Jasper shuddered he stood motionlessly a moment settled and hovered and remained for much more than a moment. And sound stopped and movement stopped for much, much more than a moment. Then gradually time awakened again and moved sluggishly on, outside the people's voices became louder and clearer.

"can you believe it",

 "and he was such a talented young man"

 "a heartthrob, he was Ryan Joinson"

That was the confirmation Jasper needed he run fast, the scene was causing him distress. Mccolins got on his motorbike and rode his troubles away, he arrived at Triford high school the only high school available for miles. Over five hundred students attended, he heard the school bell and sighed, he was just on time Jasper moved quickly eager to avoid as much social contact as humanly possible. The crowd parted like the red sea parted for Moses and all he was aware of was the unblinking eager face's that watched him cynically. He heard the obvious whispers

 "He was his best friend"

 "Do you think-- he no, he wouldn't have"

 "He was the last to see him"

 "I heard he was jealous"

 "Yeah but Ryan had always been the cooler one"

 "sssh he's coming"

And this continued for the rest of the day thatched into his mind, he found it difficult to distinguish reality from his own, disturbing thoughts he kept imagining gruesome tragic deaths befallen on to Ryan until it was on a consent loop like a cinematic film that rewinded to the bad bits and skipped the good parts as if a deranged serial killer had filmed it that way. 

 "Ryan joinson was a popular, good -looking and a very wise young man he was always thinking about others and there was always a smile or quotation, that had always uplifted our spirits. He will be sincerely missed among our community and we pray for his family and friends struggling through this emotional time" the head teacher looked dishevelled his wrinkles more apparent than before, probably due to the badgering emails he had received from parents and local bodies wanting increased security around the school campus the facility could not afford.

Like that's going make a difference, Jasper thought the dangers in the sea. 

The school was mourning and things were changing, as the corridors echoed all in one harmony.

                                                                                               ***

She was watching the school there was an array quietness about it today, she had killed one of there own yesterday, the handsome young boy with an unkempt row of curly ash blonde hair covering his peculiar meadow green eyes. He was helpless as she plunged him into the deep end, and he had fought but her beauty had dissembled him and so it had proved that he was a weak kill, in the end. Her body was writhing now she needed the water to renourish her the girl ran and plunged herself into the sea, she arose again a giant silver scaled fin at her back. With her flowing blonde her escaping her clip she looked almost angelic but it was her eyes narrowed slit and an unearthly shade of blue that haunted people. She slithered in the water escaping the island and entering her new destination to kill Santina island.
