We arrive back home late at night. Emma and Grayson were already asleep so I decided not to wake them by telling we're back and avoid a Grayson.
I texted them after school that me and Grey were going to the see Alex and Axel and that we didn't know by what time we would get home. I didn't realize that it was going to get so late
I'll probably hear about it tomorrow but we'll see.
Grey and I sneak upstairs and whisper out goodnights. I quietly close my bedroom door and throw my bag on my bed.
After I change into my pajama I crawl under the covers but not before grabbing the book from my bag.
I flip through the pages full of words written in a strange language written in something else then our Latin alfabet. Weirdly enough I know what it says.

I read deep into the night about shifting and possible abilities sirens could have until sleep washes over me.

"Rebel!"
I startle awake and sit up straight. My back hits the back of a the chair painfully hard.

It's the beginning of the year so we're not really doing anything yet. This gives me the opportunity to look into the book some more.
I pick up where I left of last night and flip the page.
Sirens are creates of nature and the elements. They're divided into group according to their abilities and living environment.
I read about earthbound sirens, deep sea sirens and even iron sirens. Sirens with two tails and some with just one fin. The colors variate from the deepest black to the brightest white. One of them look anything like me.
"What are you reading." Grey asks. I only my realize that she is practically breathing in my neck.
"It's the book I found in the library." I explain and hand it to her.
