CHAPTER Twenty-Four

　　Juliana's POV

　　The chanting of the birds was making it hard for me to get any glimpse of sleep, opening my eyes, I stared back at the sky.

　　"Not a bright start to my day," I murmured. I have been lying in this particular spot for days after swimming myself out of the ocean. I looked exhausted and weak though my reasons for lying here were because I wanted to change back to my human form. I can't wander around in this beast form, what if someone sees me? I am tired of people distancing themselves away from me or even going to the extent of calling me names.

　　"Uhmm... " Turning around, I groaned as I seemed tired. The sun has gone down, it is almost dawn. The whole place was quiet except for the sounds coming from the oceans, and the chanting of the birds. I felt a presence beside me, and veering around I saw Ariana lying peacefully. I slowly shook her before it struck inside my head that she was already dead. I sighed and sat upright.
