Soulmate Song

Calling, Seeking, Loving

That nice feeling... That one of content, the one I've known all my life living in the sea, I feel it.

What would cause the same effect of calmness that the sea itself would give me?

The male that you saved, is your soul mate.

Soul mate? What is a soul mate my goddess?

A partner you are destined to be with, usually mermaids and sirens don't have soulmates because they tend to be solitary beings that are one with the sea and reproduce for the sake of creating mass in numbers... You are different, it has been a very long time since someone of your kind has ever been mated with another...

But why a human? It doesn't make sense... Me and my pod have swam near by humans for years and nothing was ever different, I just don't understand...

That's because he isn't human sea child...

Isn't human? What do you mean by that? Wait, his friend did mention you so that means they believe in you to a degree... Is he like me?

He isn't, but he won't hurt you I can assure you on that at the very least...

Is he always going to make me feel safe? Will he actually protect me? What is this feeling growing inside me? I need to know what's happening to me! Why all of it is occurring... Please, my goddess I feel so at peace but I'm also scared...

My goddess?

~•~•~

I open my eyes to see I'm not were I'm supposed to be... This place... Zax...

I get out from the bed and walk towards the doorway and open it. Looking around I noticed it leads to a passage way of two directions. I notice a certain smell come from the right and follow it leading me to another room where Zax and 2 other females are talking.

I completely walk in and Zax takes immediate notice of my presence, "Aqulita! Good Morning! I was wondering when you would wake up, did you sleep well last night?" He asks with a smile.

His smile is so sweet... His smell is nice, it reminds me of salt water, sea moss, those things called flowers... And burnt wood? It's a savory and mild smell...

"Uh, Aqulita... Are you okay? You seem a bit out it" Zax mentions with a concerned look. His voice is deep yet sincere... It makes me feel special that he worries about me for some reason, "I'm sorry, I just smelled something nice... Like salt water, sea moss, flowers, and burning wood, it made me feel calm so I went to find out what the cause was for it" I say in honesty.

Zax stares at me with wide eyes. I wonder what he's thinking he is very interesting when he is curious... It makes me wonder what he thinks of me as a Soul mate. The moon Goddess did mention that we destined for each other... But I wonder... If she says he is of no harm to me will he let me go home?

"Thank you for giving me a place to stay for the night... But I must return home" I say with a calm voice. Zax gives me a hurt look in response that leaves me sad. Please don't look sad... I'll get sad too, I don't know why I feel so attached to you but land isn't my home...

"I don't belong here" I mutter out with my head low. Why does asking to leave hurt me so much? Why can't I look Zax in the eye while I ask?

"Did someone say something to you to make you feel unwelcomed here? If so tell me so I can talk with them privately" I hear him say in a intimidating voice, "No! It was no one, I just naturally feel out of place this isn't what I'm used to is all" I say while pulling my head up to look at him.

Zax gives a cold stern look, not really staring at anything in particular while doing so. Did I make him upset? I don't like it when he's upset...

"Please smile more, I love your smiles towards me they are very sweet and sincere" I say with a hopeful look.

Zax eyes go wide at my request, but he slowly yet surely starts to smile.

I love that smile... I wish to see more of it, but I can't stay here forever...

Zax stands up and walks towards me as his smile grows bigger. Complementing his smile really did make him that happy didn't it?

"You don't have to feel out of place here, your more than welcomed to live here, as I said before I'm not going to hurt you, and I don't know what you been through in your past, but for someone to strip you and cast you away in the cold sea isn't right and your relatives didn't even put a missing persons report on you either... Which would imply that you have no home to go back to... I don't want you to get hurt from the outside world again, so please, stay" Zax says with a sad look.

I can't necessarily tell him I'm not human... It would be awkward, and unnerving...

"Okay" I say as he he starts to smile again, "YES! Thank for agreeing to stay... Well if you're staying it's now time for me to explain why I was so persistent about it, I'm not a human, I'm a werewolf" he says with a smile.

A werewolf? What is a werewolf?

"What is a werewolf?" I ask with a confused look.

Zax expression goes from smiling to monotoned within a few moments. Was it something I said?

~•~•~

"Okay, basically a werewolf is a human that can turn into a wolf...but we aren't like humans... We have our own separate laws and we are far more powerful compared to them" Zax explains while we both walk beside each other on the grass outside, "I get it, but your friend Alezo was it? Mentioned about the Moon Goddess... Your kind believes in her as well?" I ask in a curious tone.

Zax stops to look at me with a certain look I can't describe., "Yeah, she gives us our powers that determines our class within the pack, and she also pares us with our soulmates as well... You said your kind believes in her as well... What do you mean by that Aqulita?" Zax questions with a squint in his eyes.

I said too much... What do I do?!

Tell him the truth... He will understand

"Are you a vampire? Oh perhaps a Hybrid? You could be a witch... Though I've never seen a witch, hybrid, or vampire have purple eyes before... Your smell was similar to a human but not quite... So I started to get suspicious" Zax says with a concentrated look.

I don't know what those things even are... Except for possibly the witch...

How do I necessarily tell him I'm a sea child?... He doesn't seem to see my kind as something that exists in his world. I don't know why, but thinking that really pisses me off... My kind are just as valid of a being as a werewolf and all the others, we believe in the same Goddess for crying out loud...

But then again... My kind are solitary beings that keep to themselves and stay away from land dwellers view point... I bet to him my kind is just a myth or a fairytale...

"Hey Aqulita, are you okay?" Zax asks with a sad look.

Please don't look at me with those eyes of yours... The more I see them the more the sea calls me back... Even if we are soulmates I don't belong here, land isn't my home the ocean is...

"Hey, why are you crying? Was I prying too much? I didn't mean to pry into your personal life, I don't judge by species, I don't care if your a vampire, a witch, a hybrid, hell, you could be a mythical being that hasn't been proven to be real like a mermaid and I still wouldn't judge you! That just means your extremely rare and unheard of to even be a suggestion of a soul mate!"

My eyes goes wide in shock as he says Mermaid... He knows what my kind are but doesn't believe in it... Yet he is open minded to it... Maybe, just maybe...

"Uh, did I say something right? Are you not upset anymore?" Zax asks with a sad look.

Well, that just depends on your word to not judge on species does it?
