The tales you've been told are cute. Vaguely amusing in their naivete. They're all lies. We're not charming, we're not heroic. We're pure predators. I'm no adorable redhead hoping for some magical legs to seduce a glorious prince. Hate to be the one to break it to you, but that tale was twisted to salvage that prince's pride. The adorable redhead and the vicious brunette were one and the same. And she most certainly had a voice, he was just afraid to hear it... I know what I am, and I know why I come to these shores. A wise girl would stay far from my beaches and banks. Because one scent of her, one sight of her, could have me rising from the water in the dead of night, for only one reason... To mate.

Those who were taken... They never came back, dragged beneath the waves never to return. Their haunting screams were a symbol of their horrific deaths.

Cally was taken, dragged under the water by one of the vicious creatures. But she was not devoured nor torn apart by ruthless claws--no. She was a captive. ~•~ Water instantly invades her senses. Her eyes sting, her lungs and nose burning. She thrashes, kicks, claws--anything to get away.

Cally is vaguely aware of arms wrapping around her waist and behind her head before she loses consciousness, submerged in darkness. And so she is taken. Another victim of the mysterious sea. 《Completed》 Subscribe to TheAllieL Patreon for exclusive stories and content not featured on Wattpad and to support future works and book publishing! - Free Subscriber Tier - Allie's Library - Tier 1 - $2/month - Allie's Journal - Tier 2 - $5/month Subscribe here: Patreon.com/TheAllieL
