At some point in your lives, whether it be in a class or on your own, you've learned about sirens. The beautiful mythological creatures who used their voices to lure sailors to the murky depths of the ocean, never to be seen again. Undoubtedly, you've always known it to be a myth, passed on from the Greeks and Romans. It's like every other myth out there; a good story to listen to and learn more about the culture back them, but it's too far-fetched for you to believe it. Or is it?
What if I were to tell you that it's actually not a myth? What if all those stories you learned about sirens were actually true? Except, sirens are actually alien women from another planet. What if the only reason that they've become a myth is because every time they come to earth, their plans to lure men to their deaths are thawrted? Because the thing is, they are real. As real as you or I. They've come to earth many times but never succeeded in their plans, thanks to one man. A man who's more than just a man, but an alien as well. He's traveled to earth many times too, but unlike the sirens, invasion isn't in his nature. Far from it. He's there to save it, not just from sirens but from all the other aliens that try to invade us. Very few people have the chance to meet this amazing man and help him defeat the evil that befalls earth, and this story is about one such woman.
Our story begins a few days eariler on a rainy October morning in a small town in New England. Nathan Sykes was on his boat, with a thermos of coffee next to him, waiting for fish to bite. Ever since he was little, hed always enjoyed fishing. It was a respuite from his job as an accountant. He could feel his blood pressure drop as he sat there. Just him, the fish, and the crash of the ocean waves. Nathan sighed happily. This was the life. Suddenly, he heard a beautiful melody. It was almost ethreal in its sound. The sound was so beautiful, it made him want to cry. He wanted to find the source of the sound, so he abandoned the fish as he started up the boat. He was so enthralled by the sound that he didn't notice the waves had started to gather more due to the approaching storm. The boat started twirling around as it encountered a whirlpool. The last thing Nathan heard was a cackling of laughter as the boat capsized and he was dragged down into the deep depths of the ocean.
It was the type of day where you knew it was fall. There was a chill in the air that would make one want to curl up in a blanket. The crunch of leaves could be heard as people hurried from one place to another, wrapped up in jackets and carrying cups of hot beverages from one of the local cafes. Surprisingly, no one had heard an odd grating noise, or the materalization of a blue box that accompanied it. If they did, they didn't acknowledge it. They also didn't acknowledge the man that stepped out of the box. He had spiky brown hair and was wearing a long brown trenchcoat over a brown pinstriped suit and beige converse sneakers. For all intents and purposes, he looked like a normal person, but he was anything but normal.
"Lovely. New England in the fall." The Doctor said grinning. "'Course, the last time I was here They had just barely begun the colonies…" His voice faded as he once again realized he was alone. He knew full well that his former companion would have had some sarcastic comeback.
The pain of having to remove Donna's memories of him was still fresh in his mind and his hearts ached, but he knew it had to be done, or else his best friend would have burned up with all the Time Lord knowledge in her. It still didn't make the pain hurt any less. He sighed and decided to explore this quaint, little town. After a few hours though, he was starting to get a little bored when he noticed a newspaper stand. He grabbed a newspaper as soon as he saw the headline: "Third Local man missing." He skimmed the article in 2 seconds thanks to his advanced Time Lord biology that allowed him to absorb and keep knowledge faster than an average human would. As soon as he finished reading the article, his face split into a grin. "That's more like it!" He said.
