"Sirena, we just don't know what to do with you." Her mother sad to the girl on the couch that suddenly became very interested in the carpet, "I mean your sister never acted like this why are you?" Sirena physical flinched. She hated being compared with her sister, the perfect sister, the one that got all the brains, friends, boys the one that everyone would envy.

She never did. Sirena was a different type of girl she didn't care what people thought of her, even though she lived in the very rich part of California, the place where everyone knows how to golf and play tennis. Where all the kids in her class, looked like catalog clones. When people see Sirena they see a beautiful girl with black and red hair, naturally tanned skin, blue eyes but when she got angry people have sworn they seen them go black. She had a good body but she never really showed it off, so all in all people thought she was beautiful, but because she was different not a lot of people wanted to get to know her. And because of this everyone feared her, and there forth that is why she is on the couch listen in go her parent yell at her.

"I and your mother have to think of something." Her father said as he and her mother disappeared into the kitchen. Sirena just sat there trying to listen to something they were saying, but all she got was "never get into college…" "Rebecca never did this…" "…what would people say?" Sirena sighed, 'Same thing every time. They talk about me like I'm not even here'

Sirena jumped when she felt her phone vibrate in her pocket, she looked at the screen it said: Text message from the Moon. Sirena smiled at the phone her best friend Selena sent her a message trying to cheer her up. She wrote back:

To: The moon:

I don't think, I'm going 2 live they're talking about Reb. Save ME!

The Sea

Sirena quickly sent the message and turned her cell off she couldn't afford it going off when her parents come back. Sirena sat on the couch for what felt like forever. Finally her parents came back into the living room. Her Dad cleared his throat, bring Sirena back into reality.

"Me and your mother decided that until you learn you lesson about flowing orders your grounded for 2 weeks. NO phone, NO TV, and NO computer. Hand over your phone." Sirena reluctantly handed the phone she could see she had three more messages from Selena, that she would never get to read. After she handed the phone over she finally realized that the Art Fair Finals were next week. She suddenly jumped out of her seat.

"What do you mean I'm grounded? What about the Art fair? " Sirena yelled at her parents,

"This is your third suspension, Sirena. You promised us that you would stop this pointless rebellion." Said her mom "You can enter next year." She said with a smile

"Don't you get it? I'm not rebelling anything, they wanted to search my backpack, they accused me of having a gun, but you don't care do you all you care about is what people will say at your perish country club. You never wanted me to get into the finals. You hated it and now you found a way to stop me from entering. I hate you both!" Sirena turn and grabbed her keys out of the bowl on the counter and headed to the door.

"Sirena if you walk out that door don't come back." Her Dad said, she knew he was bluffing.

"I guess you just lost a daughter!" Sirena screamed as she walked out and slammed the door behind her. Zosha rules so hard

Sirena walked down to the beach muttering to her "Those stupid, sad excuses for parents. I bet they don't even care that I left, they'll properly dancing for joy right now." Sirena looked up and saw that she walked to the beach, she always walked there went she got mad. It was just programmed in her head. She looked out at the mysterious ocean; she always felt part of the ocean in a way. That's why she entered a sketch that she made of the ocean though her window, into the contest, she was so happy when she won. But her parents didn't share her enthusiasm. She remembered what her mom said as she told her. "Why don't you get ready for your Debutant Ball instead of that pointless 'arts and crafts''. Her 'Ball' was months away. She started shivering when the wind for the ocean blew towards her. She stood on a rock, and hopped from rock to rock. She started to think about what she should do, she didn't want to go back home and let her parents win. "Maybe I could crash at Selena's house, for tonight. Her parents actually care about me. Or I could alw- Ahh" Sirena she slipped off a rock and twisted her ankle as she fell in the water. "SHIT!" She tried to stand on her leg but she couldn't get her balance with all the water swirling around her.

She tried to stand again unaware to her a wave snuck up behind her and washed her out to sea. She broke the surface with a scream as she tried to get back to shore, she looked around but all she could sea was ocean. She let out another scream when she felt a wave a pain from her ankle flow though her. She slowly started sink to the bottom and passed out. She didn't see a splash of some one diving into the water or feel the strong hands wrap around her and pulled her out of the water.

--Sirena--

I woke up to men standing around me. I bolted up and looked around, 'I'm on a ship. I'm on a ship with strange, unwashed men, who probably haven't been close to a girl in a long time. Okay. Okay everything will be- OH MY GOD I'M A GIRL.' I jumped up. The men were surprised by the movement that they didn't have time to stop me as I ran to the rail of the ship. I looked out to the ocean and saw…ocean. No land…no other boats…no nothing. 'What am I going to do?'

I was so entranced with looking for land that I didn't see one of the men sneak up behind and grabbed me. He held me tight but I wriggled out of his grasp. I fell to the floor and grabbed the closest thing I could find………a metal rod. I picked it up and started swinging it at them, "Stay away from me." I noticed that some of the men were wearing masks, 'They look familiar.' I thought as one lunged at me. I swung the rod as hard as I could and caught him with it in the side. He landed on the floor with a thud; I took this time to run. I dodged the men and made my way to an open door, as I was running I thought a random thought 'Didn't I twist my ankle?' then just like in cartoons when you realize you're walking on air and fall down. Pain shot though my body as I fell and landed on flat on my face. Before I could get up two men held my arms down. I tried to get out of they're grasp but gravity was helping them out. "Let go of me! Let…me…go! You ugly bastards! I said Let me go-" I was cut off by a burst of fire the shot into the air, I couldn't see it but I could feel the heat.

"What is going on here!" A voice bellowed

"Sir, we found this girl in the water." Heard the man holding my right arm down say,

"And you point is what? Why did you bring her on my ship?" The soldier holding my arm kept quiet, I suddenly remembered that I was still held down, when his grasp weaken, I pulled my arm out of his grasp, but the man holding my left arm pulled me back down. I landed with an "Omff!" As the people around me laughed.

'Stupid bastards.'

"Bring her here." The two men holding me brought me up, with me kicking and screaming. They threw me in front the man. I landed on my hands and knees. I turned my head around and shot the two soldiers a dirty look.

When someone grabbed my hair and pulled me up. "OWWW! Let me go!" I turned and looked at the person who pulled my hair and saw I was staring at……………Zhao. 'What! Where the hell am I!'

"When you are presented to someone of higher rank and class of you. You will show respect! Understand!" He looked at me up and down. That's when I realized that I was soaking wet and my clothes clung to me. I quickly crossed my arms over me chest. Zhao smiled at me and dropped me back on the ground. "You could be useful to us." He said with a smile that sent my skin crawling. "Take her to the brig." Zhao said as he turned around and headed back to where ever he came. The same two soldiers grabbed me and carried me screaming and cussing, down the stairs, and threw me into a cell. I landed on her ankle with a scream. I looked around, then thought back to the events of my day and came back to one thing.

"I knew I should've skipped school today." I said with a sigh.
