Chapter 580 : THE SIREN

I raced out of the hall without breaking stride or even looking back.

I was too ashamed to even stop.

I didn’t see where I was going, I simply ran and ran.

After almost ten minutes of running non stop I came to a forced halt.

I was breathing so heavily I could barely breathe.

My body hurt but not as much as I was overwhelmed with shame.

What had I been thinking?

I hit my head over and over again.

“Stupid stupid stupid!” I told myself.

I should hate him!

I should hate Xaden for what he had done. He was the reason my baby was dead and yet here I was letting him take advantage of me.

He was well aware that I used to be in love with him.

He knew that I had zero shame and I was always going to be easy for him to run back to.

My knees wobbles in sadness and sorrow.

What was wrong with me?

Why was I throwing away my chance to finally find a family who would love me?

All I wanted to do was move and forget everything tha had happened to me.

Start life afresh.

But here I was, cheap and easy for Xaden to always run back to.

It was humiliating!

I wanted to weep.

But then I stopped and looked around to see where I was.

I was in a garden.

I had run so much that I had run to a garden that I didn’t even know?

It was a simple field with flowers around.

It felt as though I had been here before even though I knew it was absolutely insane.

But the De ja Vu.

It hit me as though I knew this place.

Or was it just my mind playing tricks on me because everywhere I had been, I had always found a garden that brought me joy.

In the moonlight pack and the crescent pack.

From the moment I had been a child, I had been looking for a garden with water bodies.

I never knew why, but I was always drawn to it and would find one.

As I walked around this garden that sang of birdsongs and filled with nature, it seemed linger as something I had been looking for?

Why was I looking for something I didn’t know.

I made slow strides around the garden and my mind went head on.

It felt as though no one had been here in a very long time despite how beautiful and well taken care of it was.

I gently walked up a path, my eyes wandering until I came to overlook a blue sea.

I gazed at its beauty.

I had never seen such a beautiful sea.

The sun rays over the water body made it look like diamond sparked on it.

There was something alluring and yet, beautiful about it.

I had this inner feeling that craved going go for a swim.

I was an expert swimmer as it made up for my having zero shifting abilities.

As I walked close to the bank of the sea, I wondered why no one was here?

Why it was seemingly abandoned?

I reached the sand and filled my toes inside.

A little star fish was swept up the bank and I gently picked it up.

I touched its purple skin and it seemed to relax.

There were rocks and I found one with a flatter surface.

I sat on it and began to hum a song I had known in my brain my entire life.

What a beautiful place?

I imagined my daughter being buried here and it made me smile sadly.

All of a sudden, I heard a loud splash.

I turned around and saw a fish tail just in time go under.

I should have let it go, after all it was just a fish.

But I found myself threading closer to the sea.

I looked underneath and to my amazement I saw a body move back.

I gasped and it retreated.

“Don’t go.” I pleaded.

The body remained still and seemed to hover uncertain.

Whatever it was just remained there seemingly unsure whether to go or stay.

“I won’t hurt you.” I found myself saying.

The body remained and then to my disbelief I saw a head very gently pop up.

I could only see the eyes while the nose and mouth remained underneath.

A siren?

I had heard of them but that they barely came up or were gone so long people thought they were extinct.

The siren’s skin was blue and had the crown of its silver hair decorated with pearls, Aquamarine gemstone, crystals and shells.

The siren just looked at me, still refusing to come up completely.

I was flabbergasted.

Unsure of what to say, I tucked my hair behind my ear and said. “My name is Jasmine. Nice to meet you. What’s yours?”

The siren looked at me with skeptical eyes.

“Pearl.” It said very gently.

“That’s a beautiful and befitting name for yourself.” I said in all earnest.

It seemed uninterested in my compliment.

“We don’t come up anymore.” It said and soon, was confident enough to shows its entire head.

It was a she.

She had a perfectly oval face with pale blue skin.

Her nose was well carved and her jawline was precise and smooth with very beautiful small and pale lips.

She looked around my age of twenty one and was breath taking beautiful.

“Oh.” I managed in response to her. “You don’t come up anymore?”

She nodded as her hands made waves in the sea. “But your song. It called me.”

“My song?” I said lost for words.

She nodded again. “Yes. Your song. Where did you learn it?”

“I’ve never known the words before. Only always hummed it.” I explained.

“Where did you learn it?” She insisted uninterested in my explanation.

“Oh.” I shrugged. “I don’t know. I’ve just known it since I was a child. It’s been stuck in my head for as long as I can remember.”

She frowned and started to go back into the water.

“Wait.” I called her back confused. “Why are you going?”

Only her eyes showing now she said. “You are lying to me. All your kind ever does is lie.”
