Silhoutte

As I arrived home with my mom, we got out of the red car and went to open the door. She went to the kitchen to do something else. I was worn out, so I went to my room as I took a shower and changed into my pajamas. My mom came in my room and told me to eat.

I asked, "What did you cook?" She said, "I cook some hamburger helper, and you can eat chips with it as well. You better go to bed early. I'm worn out, so I'm going to sleep."

I nodded my head and told her to get some sleep as well. As I watched her leave, I went out and ate the rest of the food. I washed the dishes before heading to my room. I yawned after opening the door and went to lie down in bed. Although I'm a half vampire, I haven't drunk human blood in this lifetime, which means some of my abilities hadn't occurred. I'm naturally tired since I'm part human as well. 

I woke up due to the screaming I could hear. I turned on the lights and wondered how I could hear the screams in my head. I went out and walked quietly to my mother's room and saw that she's asleep. Afterward, I closed the door and went back into my room. I hesitated, but thought if I don't do this, I might regret it. I grabbed my black jacket from my closet and went out of my room very quietly. I left the house and followed the source of the screams I heard.

It took me forty-five minutes, which led me to the woods where the bird incident occurred during the day. I was intrigued by this situation, but decided to enter the woods. As I walked through the woods where the leaves are going left and right since the wind is blowing in different directions. I could hear the trees rustling and looked toward my left as I heard human steps. I hid behind a tree. I saw a man with two crows walking ahead and talking about something. I remember one of the crows I saved in the parking lot. 

I moved in another direction since I didn't want to drawn their attention. As I walked farther away from them, I got closer when I saw something ahead of me. I saw a moving silhouette on the ground. I decided to hide behind one of the trees. It looks like a man who's struggling to get up.  At first, I thought he was very drunk since he seems unstable. I watched him fall about four or five times but eventually stood up, despite stumbling a couple of times. It was definitely a weird situation. I was planning to go back since I couldn't find the source of the screaming and I didn't want to involve myself with a drunk person. As the person started heading toward my way, that's when I saw his face clearly under the moonlight.

I stared at him quietly and realized that the birds were fleeing from him earlier. It makes sense since the sirens are predatory creatures. I don't know why it didn't occured to me since I live close to the waters and the last dream I had about the siren. I watched him taking steps like a child who is trying to learn to walk. That's when I knew he haven't been on the land for too long. I wonder why he's on the land since sirens are wary of different species other than their own kind and no one has seen sirens, except for the ones in the history who claims meeting sirens centuries ago.

I knew the sirens are completely in a different category from any other species. According to myth, sirens are similar to feral pack animals. What do feral animals do when they see another animal other than their own. The feral animal will attack or flee if they feel threatened in some way. Sirens lives in the ocean with their own kind, but attacks anyone on sight since it's in their nature. They are part animal and human, while humans and supernatual stay more synced with their human side, including me as well.

As I watched him, that's when he raised his head toward in my direction. I gasped out loud while he just stares at me with his sharp and unflinching eyes. Anyone could tell that he isn't a human by looking into his eyes. The eyes are so black that you can't tell between the pupils and the irises. His eyes are full of darkness and death, yet so alive at the same time. Despite seeing him in my dreams, it was such an eerily feeling seeing his eyes looking deep into my soul, as if he can see the darkest parts of my heart.
