This is the newest fic I'm working on and I hope you like it :)

Chapter 1 – The day they met

Drew was the son of the most famous pirate of all the seven seas. His mother was known as the beauty among beasts and his father was called the king of the Bloody Rose (The name of their ship).

Like his mother Drew had unnaturally green coloured hair and like his father he has rare emerald green eyes, this has made him a target for slave traders for years.

One day when they were sailing they accidentally sailed into siren territory. Sirens are mermaid like creatures that trick men into either falling into the water or willingly drown themselves, after they do this they eat them alive.

Their known as evil reincarnated. Their counterparts, mermaids, however have been whipped out and since their voice is the only thing that can counteract a sirens humans have suffered.

Drew watched as the ship's crew rushed to cover their ears and allow the women to take control of the ship. Suddenly the ship began to rock back and forth "Shit their trying to tip us!" first mate Marie (Drew's mother) yelled before grabbing a harpoon "eat this bitches" she mumbled as she threw it and hit one dead on. Marie was well known for her expert aim.

Suddenly with no warning the ship was jerked to the side and they all saw a siren with light brown hair and brown eyes smiling wickedly as she floated above the water. Drew heard everyone curse before a sudden storm appeared out of nowhere.

Rain, hail and strong winds jerked the ship from side to side as water spayed onto the deck. Before Drew knew it he had fallen overboard "Drew!" his mother yelled as she tried to catch him but barely missed as he fell into the roaring ocean.

Marie was distraught and so was Andrew (Drew's father) but they knew more than anyone that people die easily in these things and sadly went back to work.

Drew fell deeper and deeper into the ocean. He watched as swarms of sirens surrounded the ship and he sank further from it. Out of the corner of his eye he saw a small siren headed his way.

He was too weak from the cold water to move or resist as the little siren got closer.

Just before he passed out he saw a beautiful pair of ocean blue eyes filled with worry.

He woke up later at sunset in a clear area near a bay on a flat rock in the middle of the water. He heard a beautiful sound coming from behind a large rock that blocked his view of what was making the lovely sound.

After sitting up he gasped loudly at the sight of the creature in front of him. She had short brown hair like the siren from before and a light blue tail.

Upon hearing his gasp she ceased her singing and dove into the water.

Drew continued to stare as she peeked her head above the water.

After seeing he was too shocked to try and hurt her she raised her head and shoulders above the water to look at him "Hello there" she said in a sweet voice.

Drew was too scared and shocked to answer her "I'm May… what's your name?" she asked as he continued to stare. She still continued to try and get to know him "I'm six years old what about you?" she asked with a kind smile.

Drew looked at her and relaxed when he realised her eyes didn't glow creepily like a siren "Are you a siren?" he asked sceptically. May giggled and said "No silly I'm a mermaid" she said with a cutesy smile.

Drew moved forward "My dad says the mermaids were all killed" he said as he still didn't believe her. May looked at him and tilted her head "Well your dad should know that one mermaid is born into a siren family once a decade… that's me" she said happily pointing to herself.

Drew was about to call her a liar but he noticed her appearance, her eyes didn't have the creepy eerie glow as a regular sirens and her eyes weren't like a cats "Did you save me?" he asked to which she nodded "What about the ship I was on?" he asked "Don't worry my family was just trying to scare you all off… mummy says that when she conjured that storm the winds were supposed to push you away from us… she told me to apologise on her behalf since we both know you would be terrified of her… in the end your ship was safe and is headed this way" she said cheerfully.

Drew was shocked at what she said. Now that he thought about it the sirens didn't have scared over scratch marks like other sirens he had seen and their movements weren't as great as he had heard.

He looked to her but because of how much the sun had set she was now a silhouette and all he could see was her beautiful eyes "Why didn't they eat us?" he asked "My… my family… their vegetarians because I was born… knowing I could never eat a human they changed their entire lifestyle so I would feel comfortable" she said in a grateful tone "How many are in your family?" he asked.

May look up and her fingers came above the water as she counted off on her fingers "Well there's my mummy, daddy, little brother, older sister, two older brothers, two uncles, two aunts and three cousins" she said happily. Thirteen sirens all went vegetarian just for one mermaid.

Drew was a little shocked but before he could say anything else a bullet flew past Mat grazing her cheek "Get away from my son you damn monster!" yelled Andrew as he pointed his gun at May.

Drew quickly stood up and smiled up at his father before Marie came to the edge and threw a rope ladder down "Quickly Drew get away from that thing!" she yelled as she tied the ladder to the ship and made sure it was secure.

Andrew reloaded his gun and was about to shoot but Drew quickly got into the way "No father!" he yelled "What are you doing? Move so I can kill it!" Andrew yelled "No father you always told me it was a sin to shoot a mermaid!" Drew yelled back.

The entire ship looked to Drew with confusion "Drew stop talking nonsense and let me shoot the stupid monster!" Andrew yelled "She saved me! Would a monster do that?" Drew questioned as May slowly went further under the water "look at her! Her eyes are human! And her teeth aren't sharp! She's a mermaid!" Drew yelled.

Andrew and Marie shared a look before Marie moved down the ladder and swam over to the rock "Is what Drew says true?" she asked May.

May looked up to Drew worried "Uh yes why?" she asked worried because her parents always said that someone might kidnap her to sell her since mermaids are so rare.

Marie smiled down to May "Thank you for saving my son… I am eternally grateful" she said before she turned to Drew "Come on Drew we need to reach harbour by sunrise for the deal to go through" Marie said before Drew nodded and slipped into the water.

May stayed where she was and used the flat rock as a shield of some sort.

She watched as they sailed off and Drew waved goodbye.

She swam back home but was met with horror. She had found out that the pirates she was just conversing with had taken her mother, one of her cousins and one of her aunts "What will happen to them?" May asked sadly "They won't be coming home… ever" Norman (May's father) said sadly.

As it turned out Drew's parents purposely sailed into that area just so they could kidnap a few sirens to sell on the black market "So that's what she meant by deal" May mumbled "What? Did you speak with those wretches?" Norman asked with anger and worry evident in his voice "Yes I saved a young boy who had fallen in and spoke with his mother after you all ended the storm" May said innocently "May!" he yelled but was interrupted by May's older brother Matt "Father you can't yell at her for doing that you and mother have always taught her to save sailors as that was a mermaids duty" Matt said as he knew the mermaid tradition from his friend who happened to also be a mermaid.

Norman sighed before he swam away leaving May and the rest of her family t greave about their loss.

As Drew's family reached the harbour they were greeted by merchants and palace scientists "Do you have anything worth reporting?" the palace scientist asked rather rudely "Yes we have successfully captured two adult female sirens and one teenage male siren" Andrew said as three crates were pulled off the ship.

The merchants took the crate with May's mother and planned on harvesting the scales to sell for a high price while the scientist took the other two "Is there anything else that I need to know or can I just take my specimens and go?" the palace scientist asked "Yes actually there is… we have found a mermaid… according to what she told our son one or more is born every decade to a siren family" Marie said as she glared slightly at the scientist.

The scientist was surprised to say the least "Come with me I'm sure the king will want to hear about this" the scientist said before leading the family of pirates to the castle.

As the years passed more people took to the seas to capture sirens in hope to find a mermaid. When mermaids were found they were usually surrounded by sirens that were doing everything they could to protect them. This made the sirens more aggressive and they spread their areas to larger scales and the seas became even more dangerous than before.
