I wanted her to stop crying, I even pitied the fact that I was just using her to get to know humans better. She doesn't deserve that. She's been through so much pain too. I lured her until she slept, it wasn't an easy task but I had to hum the siren's chant song. This one would help lure her to sleep and she will wake up after several hours, well this would help both me and, it's just like killing two birds with one stone. I've helped her to sleep with the hum that's the first problem solved, the second one is that while she's dead asleep I'll be able to sneak out of the room and out of the hotel without her noticing and be back before she's up. I needed to know something.
There was no need of tiptoeing here because she was asleep and from the hum, she wasn't going to hear anything, it's just like how sirens drown the sailors without them noticing, hypnotizing her. I didn't mean to do this but I wasn't going to take any risk of being noticed.
I walked out of the room confidently, the only thing I had to avoid was meeting Mrs. Sam, and then with no time I was out of the hotel, now at the beach. I removed the shows I was wearing to step on the soft sand and feel it. I didn't dare step on the seawater. I wasn't that far from the hotel and if I made a mistake then it meant someone would see me considering that it's a twenty-four-hour operating resort.
I walked and walked until I was at a point where no one would see me, it was dark so there weren't any people and I could see the hotel from a far distance. I looked around again and couldn't see anyone. I think this place was safe, safe enough. It even looked scary because there was an enormous cave and according to the face that humans are scared of demons, then who would want to be here when it's this dark? No human would be able to see in this darkness but I could see just perfectly fine, maybe because I'm used to the deep dark ocean places where light never lingers. I noticed that I didn't shapeshift at all when I take a shower or touch the water at the resort, that's why when I was told to clean the pools and wash the dishes I wasn't afraid at all. I hadn't shapeshifter when I was taking the shower so I was sure that I wouldn't. This is also a reason why I am here. I needed to summon Kai. There were questions I was sure that only he would be able to help me get the answers to them. I summoned him, this was by making sure that I concentrated on him only in my mind and calling out his name without speaking.
I closed my eyes and I could feel him, I could feel that he had heard me and was now coming towards me. I could even sense his waves as he swam. I had never summoned anyone before and I was glad that my first trial was worth it.
"Nice of you to summon me here... didn't think id see you this soon" That was him. I opened my eyes and he was there. It felt good to see someone of my kind. Those bat ears are just like mine and his hair on the water. A familiar face could do this time. He was in the water but near me, guess I had chosen a place that was deep because I couldn't see the rest of his body.
"I'm glad you came..." I said and he nodded.
"How are you... how are you coping?" He asked and my heart sank. I wish I could cry and see the tears but I couldn't shed even a single tear. I just stood there close to the water looking at him.
"Don't tell me... It's a good thing that I can't read your thoughts anymore... you look sad and I don't want to imagine what you are feeling." I just stared at him.
" Some kind, some are not... overworked and tired that's what I'm feeling lately," I said. I knew he would understand why I didn't want to say many of the words that I wanted to say. He looked at me and I could sense his sympathy. I did not want him to feel bad for me, I wanted no one to pity me.
" But it's all good... I'm fine..." I said and smiled. Even though it was a fake one I was sure that it came out just perfectly.
"Got some several questions..... When taking a shower or touching water I'm not shapeshifting, why? And when I'm close to the ocean I feel like if I step or touch the water I might shapeshift. And, I have a friend her name is Jennie, is it good or bad? I mean is it safe with her like is she someone I'm supposed to worry about?" Getting those questions out made me feel better. At least my chest felt lighter. They had been disturbing me for a while now.
"About not shapeshifting, look at the necklace you are wearing... you have always felt that it has a use right? It was made because it was supposed to protect you if ever you went to the dry land and someone tried to expose you, protect you from shapeshifting, and use water just like humans without any worry... About the feeling that you might shape-shift in this water is because it's the ocean that you have spent your time in since you were born so it's just that you feel like going home and that means you have to shapeshift and get on the water... about that girl I feel no danger, a good soul" He finished and then held out his hand for me.
"What?" I asked looking at him because I didn't know what he was up to this time around.
" You miss home, right?" He asked.
