The Siren

The waves crashed above me as the cold blue water began to drag me down I know this will be the end for me. I relax and let the current push and pull my body around the salt wayer burns my eyes making everything very blurry. my lungs begin to burn and I notice a flash of purple coming towards me. I suddenly feel arms wrap around my waist pulling me through the water with impossible speed.

suddenly I am pushed through a barrier by the strange creature and oxygen enters my lungs instantly making me cough and gasp.

'Are you ok beautiful?' a melodious male voice entered my mind.

'Not at all' I sigh looking at the cannonball attached to my ankle. 'Those fucking traitors threw me into the fucking ocean' I growled.

'Now why would they do that beautiful?' he said frowning at me.

'Because I am a woman and not a fucking man'

'Humans are strange creatures. All of our leaders are female... I wonder why they can't handle a strong female like you' he replied his frown deepening.

we sat in silence for a immeasurable time while I decided if I wanted to talk about it.

'Can I at least get your name beautiful?' he asked seemingly unfazed by my lack of response. I decided he didn't deserve my suspicion so I told him everything.

'I am Desiree Moon Captain of the Star Chaser, I will get my ship back and kill those dumb fucking mutineers that ship is my birth right' I growled sitting down on the dry sand. 'anyway thank you for saving me from a watery grave sir' I add smiling into the dark water.

'My name is Prince Saewald Merwyn son of Queen Aphrodite and King Muirfinn' he replied moving into my view.

His powerful royal purple tail swayed gently in the water keeping him close to my bubble. His tail looks like bright purple seaweed at the fin, the jewel like scales ran up to well defined abs, with light blue green skin, his hair was a silvery white, braided off his face intricately to prevent it from getting in his way but even braided his hair nearly touched the end of his tail. His beauty took my breath away and caused butterflies in my belly.

'I've never meet anyone who is actually royalty... shouldn't I curtsy or something' I asked looking up at him as he drifted lazily over my bubble.

'A wife never curtsies to her husband!' he laughed bubbles coming out of his nose.

'But I am not your wife' I frown at him.

'By our laws anything i find that is unclaimed is mine' he said smiling widely his pointed teeth captured my attention.

'How do you know I am unclaimed?' I stood with my hands on my hips.

'I know human males treat their women I've spend time amongst your people you wouldn't have been allowed to be a captain' he replies looking at me sympathetically.

'Stop looking at me like that I know what they are like that's exactly why I am a ship captain and no man's wife' I sigh 'I saw what he did to my sister'

'Well your my wife now' he smiled down at me.

'I will not be subjected to being nothing but a baby maker for you' I glare at him.

he looked shocked his eyes seemed to glow with a emerald green light.

'we treat our female much better then that they are allowed freedom. in our traditions the male is the one who is subjugated to the female'

I sat in silence just processing everything in literally a moment the destiny of saw for myself disappeared and was replaced with this bubble and nothing but cold darkness. Tears began to flow down my cheeks and on top of being trapped here I had lost the only piece of my father that I had left. I felt cool arms wrap around me Saewald had entered my bubble.

'Beautiful I will do anything to make you happy again' he whispered the sadness in his voice made me look at him.

'Why are you crying as well?' I ask my voice cracking.

'Because we are bound now that I belong to you I can hear and see your mind and heart. what you feel I feel, your dreams are my dreams, you are my fated' he whispered looking deep into my eyes.

'Really you can feel it all?'

'Definitely, it will get stronger once we complete the bond through a scared ceremony, this will also give you the powers of a Siren' he smiled.

'Really! like I'll have a tail and everything?' I ask with wide eyes.

'Yes you will have a tail in water and legs when on land just like me' his excitement evident. 'I know you need to get that ship back, if you agree to bond with me fully. I will gather some friends and we will slaughter them like the dogs they are' his eyes flashing with the beautiful emerald light again.

'How can I say no to an offer like that I'd be the strongest ship Captain to trawl the seas and oceans' I smile at him suddenly feeling a deep affection for the siren who had just rescued me. 'shall we seal the agreement with a kiss' I whispered timidly.

'I didn't think it would be that easy to convince you' he looked suspiciously at me.

'You have literally offered me everything I have dreamed of and more how could I say no to you? plus you're already kinder, more supportive, and easy on the eyes then any human man I've ever met' I whisper sincerely changing positions so I am straddling his tail.

'I will never force anything upon you, my heart and life is yours' he vowed looking deep into my eyes.

'I will bare you heirs and care for you for as long as we both live. My heart is yours.' I vow in response.

Saewald gently took my face in his hands and began whispering words I couldn't understand but the bubble around us suddenly burst into thousands of tiny bubbles. Saewald kissed me at this moment, sparks shot through my entire body his lips are soft and cold as they mold to mine. I respond by wrapping my arms around his neck and kissing him back passionately.
