Open Sea

The Noise

Already on the deck we could see how a dense mist appeared out of nowhere and things began to collide with the ship.

"What the fuck is that?" I asked Trevor.

- I have no idea, don't go near the edge.

I hear Luca barking up on two legs on the edge.

"Luca! Come on," I called him, but he just kept barking.

I go out to grab it when I hear a song, I look out and see how the water lit up, the boat was surrounded by a violet blue and the noise got louder and that's when I see them leaning out, only half of their heads out of the water ... Mermaids. There were several and their tails were the ones that illuminated the water and only surrounded the ship while their singing was louder and that is when Pedro started running, shooting Claudia and she drew her sword to attack him, Luca screamed and complained. Trevor walked over to me.

- His song makes humans euphoric, turns them against each other, they don't know what they are doing and I don't know how much I can resist it- I asked him what we could do against them and he replied- Fire, fire scares them.

So many things were going through my head that I didn't know what to do and when I turned to ask myself I saw her raise her weapon towards me.

"Sam, I can't beat them, run!" Trevor said.

I ran under the deck where their song did not penetrate so strong, there I noticed the oil for the cannons and weapons, I took a barrel in search of fire I needed to create a fire that would scare them and I went back up to the deck where everyone was screaming, fighting between them or covering their ears in corners. I began to turn the oil on the water that surrounded us praying that it was enough to scare them away, after spilling it on both sides I needed to turn it on and I remembered Trevor's gun, looking for it was not difficult I could clearly hear his screams above where the rudder was; I went up little by little and I was pointing at him in the air and insulting, it was an old ship and when I went up the stairs they creaked giving me away and putting me in Trevor's sights, I could see his confused eyes the blue and purple colors were reflected on his face, when I heard the The sound of the gun ready to be pointed at me, Luca came out and bit his leg, making him drop the gun. Without thinking, I threw myself on the floor to take it and shot into the water, making the oil catch fire. Along with the mist and smoke, nothing could be seen just as that glow faded and those blue, violet lights disappeared until the red, the fire took over the place, that horrible song disappeared. Away from the fire and the mist, everyone shouted and celebrated.

"Damn mermaids, I never want to meet them again, how can such a beautiful creature do so much harm?" Said Pedro.

"Do you not know the girls?" Claudia asked, amused.

- Pff, I prefer 100 girls than 1 mermaid- Pedro replied.

- Hahaha I agree with you- Claudia affirmed- But let's not forget that Sam saved us, Thanks!

"Thank you, that idea was great, we would have already killed ourselves if it weren't for you," Pedro thanked him.

"You're welcome guys, I got you into this and I had to save you somehow, it wasn't that bad," I said sincerely.

Trevor appeared behind me and as I turned around he had his hand extended towards me.

- If it was, what you did was very brave, you could against his song something that very few have achieved- without saying anything I nodded my head and grabbed his hand.

"What a night, everyone to rest tomorrow we have a lot to do," he ordered.
