Suzanne's standpoint
Finn scoffed and walked to the other end of the poop deck, leaned on the railing and folded his arms in annoyance. "Behave," Claudia warned, kissed my cheek and walked off to tie the men.
"Hey, Finn!" I shouted, he looked at me from the corner of his eyes, "die!"
"Ocean!!!" Claudia shouted from below deck. I giggled and forced my healing body up. Wow, I never thought frustrating someone was entertaining and relieving until I met him. He took everything I threw at him like the ass champ he is. Good boy.
"Okay, pretty boy, I'm in charge now so follow my command, kapish?" I demanded with arms akimbo. And he totally ignored me. "Rude," I said in a singsong.
"I'll drive, make yourself useful." He sighed, tired of my childishness. He pushed himself off the rail and sauntered to the wheel.
"Yeah, one of us has to be useful here," I murmured audibly. He snarled but didn't say a word. I decided it was time to be serious, I walked over to the railing at my side and looked down at the crystal clear sea that was littered with shipwreck. Pieces of woods and broken ships filled the sea.
The ship suddenly jerked, throwing me and slamming my chest on the railing. I groaned in pain, he did that on purpose. I looked at him over my shoulder and rolled my eyes back to the ship. Something glinted on the crow'snest of a broken ship resting behind a rock. I peered into the horizon, the more I peered, the brighter the object became. The blue light's glow was familiar, I knew that. It called out to me, it knew me cause my presence luminated it.
"My amulet," I gasped, it was the amulet I was born with. The amulet controlled my transformation. With it, I didn't need to fear when I get wet. My scales won't appear, I won't have to be afraid to swim in front of everyone. Other than that, it had the power to shield me from spells and morph me into any form I want.
"Finn, keep driving, the sirens will rise soon so be careful. I'll catch up with you later."
"Where are you…" Before he could finish his statement, I hitched myself up and heaved myself over the railing, throwing myself down the ship. I grabbed one of the net and threw myself down again. I landed on a wood slab.
I wasn't going to swim, I jumped. I jumped from wood slab to the other gracefully, like a skipping rock and a flying fish. My feet barely touched the slabs before I flew off to the next one. I jumped into the floorboard of the ship, wincing at the creaky sound it made due to my weight. I looked back at Finn, my eyes widened in horror. He was surrendered by sirens singing to him and was falling. I had been so caught up in my objective that I didn't hear their song or remember him.
Glowing blue liquid skin with water hair, four webbed fingers with claws the length of a wolverine's and yet the beauty of a regular mermaid to men. Sirens were ugly, don't be fooled. One of the most dangerous nymphs of Achelous. Sirens came in different forms, most with water body, legs or shark finned tails. That was the difference in our appearance. Mermaids didn't have water body and don't always kill humans, we don't even have their time. Mermaids seems to admire land folks and show off their beauties, only celestial mermaids like myself had water form.
Anyways, they had successfully lured the ungrateful man out of the poop deck. And he can boast like he is invincible. I rolled my eyes and continued flying across the floorboard to the crow'snest, avoiding touching the water. I didn't want to help him, but I had to help him, I couldn't just stay there and watch them…
A gasp left my mouth at a sudden explosion of light from the ship, I jerked my head to it. Finn had burst up with some kind of red energy, like flame but not flame. The explosion sent all sirens flying to different directions, most died at impact. I smirked and nodded, now I know why he boast. "Respect,"
I turned my attention back to the amulet, my precious item. Grabbing the rope, I began climbing up to get it. I never knew climbing could be so easy when you want something badly. I hoisted myself into the nest, scrambled over until I picked the amulet. The glow died down, back in it rightful place.
"Welcome home," I sighed dreamily.
"Ocean! Ocean, look out!!!" Finn shouted. I tilted my head and stared at him, the horror in his eyes. I turned around to see what he was gawking at. The rock had risen high like a tower behind me and down it came.
The sirens remaining laughed in their songs as they controlled the water to lift the rock. I leapt into the air, diving into the water to avoid being crushed. I swam fast away from the rock and the collapsing ship, instinctively putting my amulet on to hide my scales. Nine sirens swam around me, singing as they tittered.
I puffed out air and scowled at them. They replied me with a slash of their claws, slashing at my arms, back, chest and legs. "Begone!" I shouted, sending them flying far away. I lifted my hand to tear them to pieces but saw someone plunge into the water from the ship.
Finn.
I shut my eyes immediately and let myself sink like I couldn't handle it. Those sirens had luck… or maybe they didn't. They charged for me again, hissing in anger and murderous eyes glowing. I peeped from the corner of my eyes, the amulet glowed to activate it protective power. Just as one raised her hand, she burst into bubbles and dust. A wave of electric red energy swept through, slashing their heads and bodies off.
Awwn, my hero.
