S.H.I.T

sirens

Stay underwater

Don't swim to the surface

Don't let humans see you unless you plan on killing them...

Stay away from boats

Fuck the rules.

I swim to the surface and look around. The ocean is so boring. I want to know if the legends are real, is there really dry sand and humans on it?

I've only seen a human once and it was so weird. Their tails were really separated into things that were almost like arms. From what I could see they didnt have ANY scales. The full moon is out and I'm feeling rebellious.

Don't swim east

That's exactly what I'm going to do. I dive back into the water and swim gracefully. My tail doing all the work. None of the other sirens like me because they think I'm evil or ugly. I'm not sure there so many insults that I'm not sure which are true.

My tail is black, that's 'weird'..

Everybody else's are bright pretty colors and their skin makes them look alive. I apparently look dead because of my jet black hair and snow white skin. My bright blue eyes are apparently the only pretty color on me.

Yet I've never seen my eyes or face, how would I? After swimming at full speed for hours I come to the surface and find the most amazing thing ever. I've read about this in some ruins I found. This is land, apparently people live on it.

I spot something weird. I've read about it. What's it call? A bridge? No...

A pier.

I swim to it and see something magical. Sparks of the sun catch my eyes and my eyes adjust to the air and I see a human is making the light in their hands. Panicked I go under the water and swim under the pier.

Carefully I listen and when he sits down and puts his- feet? Is that what they are called? Well he puts his feet things close to the water. He's dangling them and I could touch them if I wanted.

Theres some kind of material on them. A weird noise starts and it stops. "Hello?" The human says sounding... weird? He also sounds tired.

Is he talking to me?

"Oh, no.. I'm on stringer pier.. no- I'll be okay," he says sounding stressed.

He doesn't really sound okay.

"Yeah.. just weed, nothing serious," he says and I wish I knew what he was talking about.

The water is very still and I cant help but like this feeling. I'm finally away from home. I'm above the water, well from my shoulders up are..

"I don't know.. I was thinking about ending it all but ended up walking here.. now I'm just looking at the water," he says making me frown.

'Ending it all' sounds.. suicidal..

"Nah, I don't want to drown in this scary dark water," he says and I try to look through the cracks to see him. He seems like he's talking to someone but I don't see anyone.

"Jordan I gotta go.. I'll talk to you tomorrow," he says and I hear a beeping. He starts crying and I feel like I'm being bad by just listening.

I swim closer to his feet and look at them up close then I look up.

"Why are you crying?" I ask and his feet get pulled up immediately. He leans over the edge and looks at me. It's real dark but I can see he's really attractive. Even as tears slide down his dry skin.

"W-why are you swimming out here at night? Theres sharks and shit," he says looking worried for me. I'm pretty sure he thinks I'm a human.

"I like the water.. but answer me," I say and I can't believe I'm talking to a human. I run my pair hand through my wet hair and keep eye contact with him.

"To be honest I'm just really lonely and its depressing," he mumbles rubbing his face.

"You're lonely?" I say trying to figure him out. I'm lonely too... after vic I've pretty much given up on relationships.

He's really hot..

I grab his knee to support myself a little. He nods his head and I look around. Theres this legend that if a siren kisses a human the siren will turn into a human... if they are in love..

I want to be human. To discover this world...

"Can you do me a favor?" I ask and he nods looking at me.

"Kiss me," I say and he smirks.

He leans down and kisses me gently. It feels like fire. Energy, sparks, fireworks, I'm not sure but its magical. After a moment he pulls away. "I know you're a human but can you not freak out?" I say and he nods a little confused.

I let my tail surface and he looks at it shocked. "Wow," he says and I watch him. He doesn't look freaked out.

"That's so cool," he says and I smile.

"I don't think so.. the ocean is so boring and nobody likes me," I say and he adjusts himself so he's laying down and puts his hands into the water and around my back. 

I float on my back and he looks at me like I'm pretty..

"Are you really a mermaid?" He says In wonder.

"Yeah, what's it like up there?" I say and he frowns.

"It sucks if you're alone," he says and I pout. I want to know what its like..

Then I have the best idea ever.

"So.. you are lonely... so am I," I say and he runs his fingers against my stomach. "I want to leave the ocean... you live on land," I say hinting on what I want.

"I have a swimming pool.." he mumbles and I smile.

"Please take me," I say pleading. He smiles and nods.

I reach my arms up and he picks me up and puts me and the pier. Being on something soiled is weird. "Wait, do you breath air?" He asks.

"Yeah, but I can also absorb oxygen from water," I say and and he picks me up and I hold on to him.

"Damn, I hope I'm not just tripping.. I hope you're actually real," he mumbles and puts me into something.

"What is this contraption?" I ask and he smile.

"Its a car," He says.

The whole time we 'drive' I ask questions. He answered every question I asked and it just seems like this world is so full of magic.

When he puts me in his 'swimming pool' I giggle and swim around in it. Its plenty of room.

I'm going to end up making a part two... maybe
