"A Siren-?"

Eric looked as confused as I felt, and I sighed, nodding. "That's what he said."

I was silent once more, then Eric said quietly. "What is a Siren? Are you a merma-"

"I'm not a friking mermaid! "

He held up his hands briefly. "Ok, ok. Well, what are you?"

There was a shake of the head from me now and I hissed. "Do you think I know?" I groaned now, then I felt him hug me for a moment and I closed my eyes against his chest. "It's all ok." he said quietly into my hair, then I just said. "So you don't know what I am?"

"I'm sorry, but no."

I sighed, then he said. "What about Godric?"

"Think he might know?"

"Who knows? Why don't you head over and find out?"

That made me frown- why was he being so... well, he was being more sensible. "Now?" I asked, and he sighed in defeat. "Now."

"Are you coming?"

"...not this time." he bent down now and kissed me softly for a moment. "This doesn't change who you are. You're still Freyr, no matter what."

"When will you be back?"

I glanced at the time now, then replied. "Maybe just before dawn I hope."

"Good." he said, then kissed my forehead. Maybe this new revelation that I wasn't just a vampire, wasn't just his Freyr anymore... I was something else.

I left now and headed towards Dallas, and hopefully, information on what I was.

Godric wasn't surprised to see me, but when I just pulled him into my arms, he asked. "What's wrong my love?"

I told him everything, and he listened in silence the entire time, but now he hugged me and I asked. "Do you know what I am?"

"I do."

"Excuse me-?"

Godric sat me down now on his chair, then walked back into the main room and I heard him pick a book of the shelf, then he walked back in and put a book on my lap. It was almost like a journal.

"I acquired this and a good few others last year."

I opened the journal now and Godric told me. "Page sixty one." I turned it to the page and read the passage about what I was.

"Water monsters?" I frowned now, reading. "The oldest seducers of the universe. Am I really a monster?"

Godric scowled at that. "You are nothing like a monster. Just because you are a Siren, it doesn't change anything. Nothing at all."

I didn't know what to do, and I just said quietly. "But... I'm not even just a vampire. I'm like 'add water for a water monster.'"

Godric took the book, then opened the page back up. "But Sirens aren't monsters. They were rather revered in ancient times as beauties of the water. But then their beauty was feared and the people got frightened, so they were eradicated. Sirens are considered an extinct supernatural species now, and if Dorian is telling the truth and there are quite a lot of you, then they hid themselves."

"Huh. Probably Atlantis."

"Actually the home of the Sirens is said to be called Sirenum Scopuli."

"Where-?"

"It was supposed to be an island where they resided." he told me, reading the name of the place out. I had to ask now. "Is that a real place-?"

"The only information I know about these creatures are from this book. They're immensely secretive creatures, and, to be honest, it's a surprise they let you get changed. A Siren by water, human by land."

"Well, vampire by land." I chuckled and he looked worried. "What's wrong?" I asked and he just smiled. "Doesn't matter my love. Just... I had a suspicion when I first saw you."

"What do you mean?"

"I mean that something drew me into meeting you and Eric all those years ago. It was... strange. I don't know why I was so fascinated by you, and as you were dying... you called out to me. Everything about you did."

"What do you mean?"

"I mean that maybe your status as a Siren that activated as you were dying. I am a supernatural creature, and I heard it."

I felt bad now at his words. "Did I-? Trick you into changing us-?"

Godric groaned and took my face in his hands. "No, you didn't. I'd been following you both since your town was massacred... but something made me get involved."

I looked down now and felt him press his lips to my forehead.

My visit had just confused me even more... Dorian and Bianca, they were both Sirens too...

So why did Dorian find me out in the first place-?

None of this made any sense anymore...

I returned to Shreveport that evening and found it open and in full swing. It was growing ever more popular now with both vampires and humans ever since the Revelation. Money had been coming in thick and fast, and Eric loved it. He always did have a taste for the finer things in life- and that included me.

Eric was sat on his 'throne' and looked more or less bored as he stared at the floor, deep in thought. I walked over now and behind him, putting my arms around his shoulders and kissed his right temple. "You look troubled."

He just said now. "Just thinking, that's all. How was Dallas?"

"I got some information on-" but I was silenced as a finger was put on my lips, and his eyes just said. Not here. I glanced around the room, then saw a few look away as if they'd been listening. I understood what he meant now, but now I felt a tug around my waist as he pulled me onto his lap, completely silent. What was up with him lately? So quiet it was surprising.

"What's wrong?" I asked him now, then he just said quietly. "Later."

When the bar closed at two, Eric sat down heavily on a leather sofa in the main room with a bottle of that new True blood. I sat down next to him now and he just picked it up and turned it over. "Look what came earlier."

I chuckled now, then took it from him, taking a sniff- it smelt fake anyway. He opened it now and smirked, offering it to me. "It's your favorite." he just said and I scoffed, but then took a gulp, coughing straight away- talk about gross.

Eric took it back now and took a sip. He raised an eyebrow now and said. "Hmm... I was expecting worst."

"You eat anything my love." I told him now, leaning over and kissed him once on the lips, but now he said against them. "I guess we won't be sharing baths anymore."

"Oh we can- I'm only a Siren if I use it." I told him, wrapping an arm around his neck and kissed him once more, but now I had to chuckle. "This is just like that Disney film."

"What-?"

"The Little Mermaid? The guy was called Eric, and Ariel was a Siren actually... sound familiar?"

"You're Ariel to my Eric? You don't have a tail do you?"

"I don't know. Ill have to ask Dorian (!)"

He chuckled and kissed my forehead. "I'm putting you in a zoo if you do."

"I love you (!)"

"Love you too." he just smirked.

At least things had calmed down now, and finally as well. A thousand years, and at last we had our peace of sorts.

We had our freedom of sorts, and each other.

What else did a pair of thousand year old vampires need?

Just a little update for now. Reviews much loved thank you.
