Alexander's POV

   I threw a rock at the wall in anger. Why? Because I fucking can. I've been locked in here since my mother died and I'm never getting out. Why? Because I'm different. I have sharp spines instead of a dorsal fin. I have small green horns that poke out of my shoulder length black hair. I have an emerald green tail to match my horns and resting bitch face 24/7. Nothing ever happens around here. I'm just in this coral cell and I'm never getting out. The King says I'm a threat. I've never done anything. Sure I have magic powers and I can kill easily but I'd never meant hurt anyone. I saw something swim past and I frowned. Two more things swam past and I panicked. Humans. I did my best to hide but the small cell just wasn't helping. One of them (whom we will call first) noticed me and tapped his buddy's shoulder. Second turned and fired something. A sharp pain pierced my tail and screamed in agony. All three men covered their ears and first punch second. First swam over and I panicked.
"Please! Don't hurt me! I'm begging you! I haven't done anything!" I pleaded, first covered his ears again and pressed a finger to his oxygen mask. I whimpered and first started pulling on the coral bars. His buddy handed him another harpoon and I looked down at the one piercing my upper thigh. I grunted and moaned in pain, the room starting to spin. First broke through the bars and I tried to get away but he gently placed a hand on my arm. I whimpered and he carefully pulled me out. I tried to swim away but it hurt way too much. First cupped my cheek and smiled. Everything started spinning faster and it all went black.

My eyes fluttered open and I groaned. Something next to me stirred and I yelped. All three men shot up and third fell off what I assumed was a counter. They laughed and first smiled at me.
"Hey. Can you understand me?" I nodded slowly and whimpered. "It's ok. We're not going to hurt you. Laf is just an idiot."
"Hey! Fuck you!" Laf threw something at first and I glared.
"Well, sorry Laf but you shot him soooooooo-..."
"I hate you." Laf huffed. "He's not exactly harmless looking. What else did you want me to do?"
"Not shoot him!" First yelled, I shrunk in the water and first glanced at me. "I'm sorry. My name's John. What's yours?"
"Alexander." All three covered their ears and first curled up in a ball on the tile floor. "Are you ok?"
"Stop screaming!" Third yelled.
"I'm not!" I reasoned.
"He's trying to communicate!" John ran into the other room and came back holding two things. "Sit up a bit and don't get this wet." John handed me the items and showed me how to use them. I pressed the pen to the pad and starting writing.
'Where am I? What happened? Are you going to hurt me again?' John read the words and smiled.
"You're in my bathroom. Laf shot you and I patched you up. I will never ever hurt you. I swear on my sister's grave." John rubbed my shoulder and the other two left the room. "How are you feeling?"
'Ok I guess.' John smiled and stood up.
"I've got a pool out back of you wanna...stretch your fins." He grinned, I rolled my eyes and nodded slowly. John started to lift me out of the tub and I yelped, holding on tight to him. He carried me through the house and outside. There was a huge pool in the backyard and John carefully lowered me on the first step. He pulled off his shirt and slipped in the pool next to me. I blushed furiously and buried my face in what would be my knees. John waded out into the water and beckoned me forward. "Try to swim to me."
"No!" John covered his ears and huffed.
"Every time you talk it sounds like horrid screaming and you're going to blow out my eardrums." He chuckled, I glanced at him and huffed. John was hot. Really, really hot. He had curly brown hair and freckles dotting his tan skin. His green eyes danced with joy and a smile played on his lips.
"I'm sorry." I whispered, John smiled and moved closer.
"Aw, that's cute. Little chirps and coos." He grinned, I blushed and he took my hands. "Try swimming."
"No! I don't wanna!" I whispered, John sighed and started pulling me off the steps. I'm guessing he read my tone of voice because he wrapped my arms round his neck and gathered my tail in his arms.
"I just realized I still don't know your name." He chuckled, I sighed and giggled a bit. I used my water magic to spell my name in the water. "Woah."
"What?" I whispered, John smiled down at me and I rearranged the letters. 'I don't wanna swim.'
"Why not."
'I'm scared.' John sighed and rubbed the side of my shoulder. 'What if it hurts?'
"If it hurts I won't make you. I promise." I nodded and John let me down. I kept my arms around his neck and he started walking backwards. I slowly started flipping my fins and it stung. I yelped and John pulled me into his arms. "It's ok. It's ok."
"I wanna try again." I whispered, John rubbed my shoulder and I remembered he can't understand me. I rearranged my letters and John glanced at them. 'I wanna try again.'
"You sure?" I nodded and John let me down again. I started flipping my tail and the stinging sensation died out. I flipped us over and John yelped. I paddled us around the pool and John laughed, straddling my waist. I smiled up at him and he grinned down at me. I was so much smaller than him it was weird.
'What do you do?'
"What do you mean?"
'I mean humans have jobs right? What is yours?' John chuckled and shrugged.
"I'm a Marine Biologist. I study marine life and do my best to help the ocean." I nodded and John smiled. "I'm guessing you didn't have a job?"
"Yeah." I whispered, nodding and sighing. John smiled and I used my magic to explain everything. I cried a bit and John brushed the tears away. He asked a few questions and I answered shakily. John was patient and kissed my forehead a couple times. It made me blush and butterflies erupted in my stomach.
"Are you feeling ok?" I frowned but nodded, not understanding why he asked. "Your face is green." It had completely slipped my mind that sirens blush the color of their tail. I silently cursed myself and sighed. "Wait, wait, wait! Don't move." I froze and John slowly lifted my top lip. "Oh my god! You have fangs! That's adorable!" He gushed, I blushed harder and John frowned. He pressed his hand to my forehead and felt my face. "Are you sure you're ok?" I explained it to him and he nodded. "That's also cute." I blushed harder and used my magic to shoot water at him. "Ok. That's just rude." He giggled, we chatted for ages as I paddled us around the pool and it started to get dark. John laid on my chest and soon he was snoring. I started to panic, I knew he couldn't breathe underwater and I couldn't just throw him up on the edge. I swam to the staircase and laid John gently on the edge. I pulled myself out of the water and hissed in pain. I glanced down at the bandages and huffed. I dragged myself to a chair with a pillow and blanket and moved back to John. I made sure he was comfy before curling up on the floor in the deep end and falling asleep.
