It was so dark. So cold. I shivered and shifted uncomfortably. Why was it so cold? ...and wet? My eyes slowly fluttered open and I saw the ocean.

The blue water shimmered as the sun began to rise, the sky painted a warm gold despite how cold it was. Salty air brushed my dark red hair out of my face. I got short flashes of what had occurred the night before, sighing when I realized what had happened. I yawned before running my tongue over my teeth, cringing at the taste of blood that lingered there. I knew what had caused it, and it made me sick to my stomach. I couldn't help it though, the full moon just called to me and in turn, I called others to me. My silver eyes took in the new wrecked ship on the rocks and I sighed. It seemed that I'd had a busy night after all.

I heard a low groan from someone behind me and I stiffened. That was new. I'd never left any survivors before... When I turned around I immediately knew why I'd let that one live...well, those two live. One had stunning pearl white hair and I saw emerald green eyes behind the fluttering lids. Sun kissed tan skin stretched out over rippling muscles and I choked on my own breath. He wasn't wearing a shirt and his pants were in ruins.

The other man had hair as dark as the pitch black areas of the sea. In the right light it even looked like his hair shined a very dark blue. He was still out cold so I couldn't see his eyes, but I hoped they'd be Caribbean blue. His skin looked like it had been kissed by the moon rather than the sun.

Something inside of me stirred and my eyes turned red as my consciousness was pushed back. A smirk played on my lips as both men slowly started to wake up. My tail flopped lazily on the rock. My shimmering scales looked like a blazing fire. All the reds, oranges, golds, yellows, and silvers working together to create the effect.

My hip fins flexed as I shifted so my body was laying on it's stomach. The demon's pupils turned to slits as a purr rumbled in her throat. My gills fanned out in excitement as the two beauties blinked their eyes open. I got what I wanted, the moonlight kissed man's eyes were a deep Caribbean blue. I idly brushed the scales and trailed up my side to make sure they looked tidy. I didn't want any flakes or any broken ones to be seen. Even if the demon was the one that was going to be in control. I had a few scale patches along my jaw, forehead, and one on my right cheek. The scales went up and curled around my breasts to cover them. The fin on my back folded neatly while my head fins twitched lightly.

The demon was so anxious that she scraped our gold claws on the rock we were all laying on. I said nothing to her. I never did. I hated her and what she represented.

'Aw, don't be so negative.' She purred. I merely hissed in response.

The white haired man looked up at us with a groan, "What happened?"

She smiled, showing off our sharp fangs and pointed teeth, "I saved you from the siren."
