its swimming again today. as I was hiding in the change rooms trying to take as long as possible this time, I saw my sister walk in. I was the last one so I hid behind the wall. it was weird because she's not in my class so she shouldn't be here or anywhere near me. I watched as she closed the door and opened her bag. inside was a necklace, a seashell. it was dark black and swirled. she put it over her neck where I saw it. gills and rashes weird dark blue rashes. I gasped. she turned around so quickly before I knew it she was staring at me in the eye. I quickly hid behind the wall and cursed to myself. she swiftly came towards me and smirked with her sharp teeth. sharper than usual, she said "I would kill you right now if I could" I gaped. what else could I do. finally I spoke. "your a siren." I said uncertain. she smirked and laughed. "just like you." she walked away, leaving me staring off into the distance with the thoughts in my mind. contradicting myself constantly. soon the periods went by quickly and the day was over.

she must be lying. I'm not a siren I'm a mermaid. I don't feel the sudden need for blood, to kill. I don't have sharp talons and wings that could form at an moment. I don't have long sharp teeth and a black tail. I don't have a black cold necklace that matches my heart. I don't sing to trap.

or maybe I do.
