"I love how innocent you act, but I know you're not." **************************** My dad had given me a simple journal that I thought I'd never use. When I found out he died in a car crash, that next week, I decided to start writing all my feelings in it because I'm not really good at expressing them verbally. My journal was full of decent thoughts... Well some were decent, Until I met Dillon Taylor. He was the cocky, annoying, loud mouthed boy next door that wouldn't turn his music down if the queen of England walked in his room. So one night, I finished my diary entry and fell asleep. I left the window open because it was hot. Bad idea. I heard some fiddling in my room so I turned on my lamp. Only to see that annoying boy from next door's body was halfway out my room window-- with my diary in his hand.

Cassandra is forced to switch jobs, from a waitress to a housemaid at the royal palace, due to certain circumstances. Working for a royal family is not exactly the most normal job and when you throw in two princes, a queen and a jealous girlfriend it gets that much more difficult. Follow 20 year old Cassandra's story as she struggles to support her sick mother with nothing but a high school degree and an incident that stains her past. Side note: I wrote this story back in 2014, so please take it easy on me while you read it. As you move through the story and onto the sequel, you'll see my writing develop. Happy Reading! :)

Sirena may look like a normal girl, but she is far from it. Not only is she a mermaid, but she is also a lot older than she looks. She has lived on Neverland for longer than she cares to remember. She lives in solidarity, trying to avoid the annoying teenaged boys on the island and people in general. Trying to avoid her fate that looms closer each day. She had it pretty good - until a ship appeared on Neverland's shores and gave her hope to escape the inevitable. Freedom was so close! But then an unexpected pirate ruined everything. Or so she thought. AN: I do not own any characters from Once Upon a Time and some elements for the mermaids were taken from H2O: Just Add Water. Sirena, the plot, and most elements of the mermaid world and the mermaid curses are my own. Please do not steal, but enjoy!
