Ok finally I got this chapter. Oh I needed a change so now we are going to do some pov switching. I did alkins this time. YAY! Alkin! Oh he shows his sweet side this time.. but not to sweet, but not sarcastic. Oh To explain, Alkin knows Sprites name because He can read minds after all.

"Alkin.."

I slowly turned as I heard Tristan's cries. He was staggering to stand, and then he collapsed in a heap.

Well let's check what's happening here. Tristan is, well I'm not sure what he is doing but

He is down to say the least. Sprite, she is drowning..

"You fool! She's dying I'm taking over!" Ace yelled at me.

"Oh no your not!" I pulled off my shirt as I ran in to the water. I fell deep into the water.

It wasn't shallow anymore. The doorway into the sirens world was open.

Oh crap.

This definitely isn't good. Last time it opened up was. Well. Never.

And if it ever had no one had survived to tell about it, since sirens do kill their victims.

That is what they do after all.

I rushed up for a long breath of air; this was going to take awhile. I glanced back at Tristan I could smell him bleeding. Plus I could here the tree's complaining about the mess on their nice patch of dirt, they didn't want another willow tree growing there.

Then it hit me. Ace, Ace could take care of Tristan while I was gone.

All I had to do was remember the spell; I started to mumble bits and pieces.

"Zoshen- Mintow- Fuji, Fiji! NO not that.." I hit myself. Ace opened our mouth.

"Idiot, its Fujian Mintow Zoshen Centos!" Suddenly I was looking into the face of another. He was wearing the exact thing as me only he looked different. His hair was green like mine. His eyes were the same, but he looked.. Well backwards like a reflection. His bangs were the same as mine but they were pointing the other way.

"HA! It works!" He began jumping around, then stopped and looked at his body. He smiled and a tear rolled down his cheek. I still didn't exactly get what had happened.

Well I know THIS wasn't supposed to happen.

He looked at his hands and moved them.

"Do you know how long I have wanted this?" I leaned back waiting for Ace to take over.

He didn't.

"Are you-"

"Yes! I am Ace!" He was jumping up and down practically.

"You- You- Tricked me! That wasn't the spell it's, Mintow Centos Binshoo Zangtang!"

He grabbed me by the hair.

"Idiot! Go save Sprite!" He started swimming towards the shore and I dove underwater. I swam a long time. Being an elf, and being related to the trees has some advantages. I can stay underwater for a long time. I need water more then all humans since I am related to trees.

But I can't go on forever; I Do need air after all.

*~*~*~*~*~*

1 hour later

*~*~*~*~*~*

Still swimming, and there seems to be a light coming from deep down.

*~*~*~*~* ~*

3 Hours later

*~*~*~*~*~*

Ok, I am running out of air, why does this place have to be sooooo far?!

*BUMF!*

I hit something head on.

"Suntoushi!" I whispered and a small light appeared above my hand. I looked back at the object; it had a rope tying it down to some were. I touched it, and swam around it.

GHACH!!!!!!!!!

I jerked back as fast as I could but I hit another one.

Bodies, Bodies tied to ropes.

Every were.

The Sirens victims surrounded me. It was known that when Sailors were attacked, nothing was found. No bodies. Nothing, I guessed that they had vaporized or some thing.

But I never suspected this.

I said 'Suntoushi' again (louder though) making my light brighter.

Oh my god.

There were thousands, skeletons, some still fully fleshed. They were about 5 feet away from each other. I needed more light.

"SUNTOUSHI!" I screamed, well tried to scream. The louder you say a spell like this one, the better, well, brighter in this case it will be.

It was like daylight now. I could see the city of the Sirens. It was Giant. I dimmed my light just a little so I wouldn't attract too much attention. I continued swimming, Sprite was bound to be around here some were.

Then I noticed a pattern in the bodies. The further I got the more fleshy (gross.) they got, which means Sprite will be-

I saw her; she was tied and struggling to break free. She didn't see me; she was facing the other direction.

She was facing away from the bodies.

My light didn't affect anything anymore. The brightness of the city was bright enough to cover mine.

She didn't notice me, so I swam up and grabbed her shoulder. She started jerking around violently; she had her eyes closed so tight she wouldn't look at me.

Apparently she thought I was a siren.

She thought I was going to kill her.

She ripped back, away from me. She kept shaking and struggling. She was running out of air, she was slowly dying.

I know it's odd that she isn't dead already; it's been about 3 hours now. But like I told Tristan, she was at one time a siren. She still could live in the water, well no she couldn't but she could last a while.

Then it happened. She stopped moving. You know, it's ironic. In every movie I have envisioned (you since I see into the future and all, I must say the 21 century has some good films), the hero will go all the way to save the love of their life.

And then they die!

Well, that's how it always turns out in fairy tales.

But this time I will make my own.

"Airiouse Benthar Oniouse!!!!!!!!" I threw my arms in the air, (well water in this case) and I formed a bubble. Not a spell most of us elves know, but I do read up on Waterian magic spells. It is what sirens use after all.

Well, the bubble wasn't as big as I had hoped for. It was about 4 feet tall and 4 feet wide.

I moved it so that I was inside, (first thing I did was take a deeeeep breath.) and I slowly grabbed her limp body and pulled her in before the bubble began to rise to the surface.

Ok it was a tight squeeze. I had to sit with my legs crossed and her on my lap. She was limp and she wasn't breathing, her head fell back when I moved my hand.

I had to do something, and then I remembered.

I looked around for a moment, (my light thingy was on again.) almost to make sure no one was looking. Then remembered the only one around was, except her.

I pressed my mouth on hers.

I know I know. Where's that pervert Ace when you need him?

I blew air into her lungs,

And I sucked out water.

I blew, I sucked, and I blew.

And she moved her lips while my mouth was on hers. I jerked back as she sat up and coughed.

When she stopped she just kind of sat there, hunched over not looking at me. She shivered a little. I put my hand on her back, and she flinched.

"Sprite-" I started, and she jumped surprised. She turned her head and looked at me.

Her jaw was trembling, her mouth was open slightly and her cheeks were wet.

From tears and water.

"Alkin?" She whispered barely able to speak, she was about to burst into tears.

I started to touch her head and she burst out crying.

"Shhh-" I pulled her into my chest. She cried long and hard. I just held her there, not moving, not talking, and just staying.

After a long time she spoke.

"I- I- You- Die-" She staggered in between sobs. I tightened my grip on her.

"You don't have to say anything at all." I whispered into her ear. She looked up at me her face was centimeters away. I dropped my arms.

"No- I, do. I won't, I mean I do, I just- I couldn't stop my self. They called and I had to go." I opened my mouth to stop her but she put her hand on my wet shoulder.

"The sirens called to me and I had to go, I don't know why. Why? Why would they want me? I don't even know what I am!" She yelled. I clenched my teeth; I wanted to tell her what she was. I knew her more then she did. I read her forgotten thoughts.

She is the daughter of a human and a Siren. She is of mixed blood. And she fell in love with a man, a human. She is looked down upon for this. Her own people stripped her memories and tried to kill her. The man is chained to a rope deep in the sirens world.

And she knows nothing of this.

I found myself with my arms around her, and hers around me. I had my head in the crook of her neck, and she was crying again. I held her till she was still.

*~*~*~*~*~*

2 hours later

*~*~*~*~*~*

I opened my eyes; I guess I had fallen asleep. She was still asleep, practically on me. Actually, there is a good reason for this. My bubble I made has gotten smaller. Its a very tight squeeze now. And I can't get up to cast another spell, unless I wake her up and I don't really want to wake her she might cry again...

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Whew, see isn't Alkin sweet?? Like I said he's my fav. But it was a more seriouse chapter compared to the last one.. wasn't it?
