I spun around and grabbed my purse and headed for the .I did what I always done when confronted with a life altering problem. Some people shop, overindulge in pleasures , or do death defying stunts. I run through the pain, sorrow , loneliness and mostly myself. I loathed that I always felt different and at times alone even though I wasn't. I always ran as if my life depended upon it.
"Blake go after boy .. "Giles ordered " it's not safe for her to be alone!"
I took off sprinting towards a destination unknown . I ran for hours til my sides hurt til pain coursed through my lungs with every deep breath. I found myself at the local pier looking out upon the endless sea . The old piers boards creaked under my weight .Getting to the edge the water seemed calm but looking closer it held an eerie darkness .I heard my name being called from the distance" Anna " . When I swiftly turned around my footing slipped . I seen his throw off his suit jacket throwing it on the ground. Blake Sprinted towards me at alarming speed.It felt as if time itself had been put in slow motion . I watched as Blake rushed towards me hue reached out barely missing my hand . I felt my self slowly fall into the frigid water. The wind rushed from my lungs upon impact . Blake's deep grey eyes widened as I fell into the dark water below. I broke the top of the icy cold water only once " help I can't swim !" I hoarsely screamed as I went under once again. As I slowly plummeted towards the bottom I embraced my upcoming demise. A strong arm grabbed me around the waist ...
Within the darkness a burst of color erupted from a source unknown. Instively I reached out and touched the bubbled light . The bubbler bust sending shine shattering pulses through the water and my body. Every sting pulse it felt as if every cell within my body burst.
When I finally thought I couldnt withstand another pulse. Pulsation within the water and my body stopped. A strong arm wrapped around my waist . Blake pulled me to the dark surface away from the last remanence of color. The color disappeared within deep with the dark recesses of the merky bottom.
Finally we broke he surface of our watery grave. I greedily gasped for air as he pulled me to the safety of the dock. Giles gasped as Blake hoisted me up to him . Giles grabbed my arms as Blake pushed my newly acquired tail upon the planks of the dock. Giles practically dragged my to the sand shore away from the temptation of water.
Coughing out all the cold salty water as I gasped for the first breath of air. I opened my eyes to see the vast star filled sky above. " gavin " I called out only to greeted by a angry grunt .
" I'm not and will ever be your beloved Gavin. "Blake snapped "if this was a failed suicide attempts and you rather kill yourself than go a few days with me back to my home . Than so be it but I refuse to explain to your parents why their daughter rather die than go to her rightful home."
"How you find me ?"I asked
"Your presence " he snapped as he stared at my tail with wonder. I looked down and shrieked without missing a beat. The air rushed out of my lungs as I touched the multicolored scales that covered my torso and legs.
What is this !!! I screamed as my tail twitched upon the sandy shore. I'm a fish like creature this can't be real .. this is a dream.
"No sweetheart your a mythological creature known as a siren ". Blake dropped to his knees before me cupping my face . He spoke softly and clear as if he were speaking to a child. "Once your legs dry you will be back to your human form. Don't worry .. deep breaths annabelle. I will explain everything in the car. "
