The Siren

The song

I felt exhausted with Aqua keeping me up throughout the night. I was tired, sore and well I'm pretty sure I'm going crazy probably do to lack of food. You see when Thaleia was by my side she used to hunt fish and other animals for me while I try to find different fruits to eat but for some reason I haven't been able to find any fruit. With that being said I have been hearing this strange beautiful melody coming from the ocean. Which is where I stand now. In the ocean listening as the wind blew through my long hair while I stared out into the beautiful blue sky.

I wanted to know who was singing. Was it Thaleia? Aqua? Or maybe even Myra? I don't know.

Taking another step into the water I could feel the wet squishy sand sink in between my toes as the small waves crashed into my lower stomach. It was cold but the warm wind blowing around me made me tolerate it.

The music was so beautiful I couldn't stop my self from inching further and further into the water. That is until cold arms wrapped around me breaking me from my spell.

"Are you crazy?! You can't swim!"

I felt confused as Aqua dragged me back to the beach making me frown deeply as she started to pace back and fourth.

"Just what do you think you where doing?! If I hadn't have come back when I did you could have drowned!"

"I'm sorry." Why was I apologizing? She's the one who's been abusive towards me.

"Answer my question! Why where you in the water?!"

"I... I heard singing." Aqua looked at me confused as she scanned the ocean.

"There's nobody here for miles Aria. Are you sure your ok?"

I was about to say something until my stomach rumbled making me blush.

"Have you not had anything to eat today?"

"I haven't ate since you banished Myra and Thaleia."

"What! Why is that?!"

"I can't find any fruit. Thaleia used to hunt fish and any animals she could find for me to cook." Aqua seemed to be in deep thought as she closed her eyes.

"You feel that?"

"Feel what?"

"The change in the wind. It's going from warm to cold every time the wind picks back up which means winters coming. There won't be much fruit growing around this island so to the cold weather. Sigh... god damn it Aria it's been 3 days since then! you should have told me you couldn't find any food!"

"Sorry."

"And quit apologizing!"

I bit my bottom lip as she stripped out of her white dress she wore before heading into the water.

"I'll be right back."

I relaxed as soon as she left making me plop onto the warm sand. Winter is coming. Has it really been a full year since I came here? My thoughts where cut off as a sharp needle like pain hit my neck making me grimace as I removed the offending needle confusedly.

"Aria!"

"Huh? It couldn't be..." my vision slowly begin to blur as I slowly looked over only to see my mom rushing down the beach with three men in tow.

"Mom?" She fell to her knees in front of me as she gently pulled me into a hug sobbing.

"I'm so happy I found you."
