The music is what made me smirk as I felt the beat pulse through my body. I was already starting to plan out my attacks on the two mers, and especially on Tarquin. My claws started to grow longer and I could feel myself letting go of the pain and curiosity just to exist.

First, I needed to take down the mer with the sunset tail.

I allowed my voice to flow softly, casting a spell over the others. "Hey baby, tell me your name." My eyes settle on familiar silver eyes that only cause me to grow a smile. "I got a fever for you," I watched as the mer soon realizes who I was, pointing his spear at me anyways.

The grunting of Kanto curves a smile on my lips and it begins to ignite a fire brewing inside of me. "I just can't explain." Swiming around Tallese and the others, they only stare at me in concern and fear. Tallese and Larose even call my name, but they only receive my music as a response.

"But there's just one problem," the mer stares right back at me, determined to strike if I dare to move.

Too bad he doesn't know who he's dealing with. An unknown voice echoes in my head. It was female and very sultry.

I have no time to comprehend the speaker of the voice before the next lyric spews from my mouth, "I'm a bit old school."

A smirk becomes my lips and he opens his mouth to speak. Before he can say anything, I've already manifested a sword into my hand that hides behind my back. "When it comes to lovin'," I revealed the sword from my side, grinning as his eyes widen and his posture becomes frightful.

Just as he dares to poke at me, I swipe the sword across the coral, watching it break before my eyes. "I ain't chasing you." I glowered down at the male, observing how the cowards back when I hesitate to move forward. It was only a second before he tries to scurry away.

"Ain't waiting, I'm on a roll." Grinning as he travels further into the deep abyss, my fins dart back and forth at a miraculous pace. The sword disappears at the flick of my wrist as I chase after the insolent fish.

"You've got to let yourself go.." When my claws sink deep into the fiery orange scales, he screams out in pain at my touch. Immediately, I yank the men back, pulling him against his will.

I grinned at my catch, I can't wait to demolish him. "Oh, you know that I've been waiting for you." I held out the last note, during the male to try anything else as I claw up his tail to reach his neck.

He does his best to try to throw me off, but I prevail when I sink my claws into his flesh and continue my quest towards the neck. "Don't leave me standing all by myself." The smirk on my face cannot hide as my nose lingers on his skin, trailing all the way to his collarbone.

I breathe in the smell of him, then I took a taste. My tongue sauntered over his chest and abs while he watched me without a breath to hold. "'Cause I ain't looking at no one else.." Our eyes catch in that moment, and there was only one thing on my mind as I made my path to his lips.

"Hey," I snatched him roughly and threw him towards Kanto and Tarquin, the two who were still fighting. "Get your back off the wall," He barely stops when I jet towards him and hold him by his neck, showing just how weak he was compared to me.

"Don't you get comfortable." I narrow my eyes at my prey, smelling the fear coming from him in waves. I was too busy with this urchin to notice Tarquin and Kanto were watching our interaction.

"Looking so hot," I structured my posture to look as if I was being flirty and let my other large claw travel up and down his torso seductively. "I think," I drew myself closer, forcing his body to connect with mine.
