Ok, so you guys have inspired me to write more. Umm, we'll see where it goes from here. Thanks for all the great reviews, and here's chap.8
The cool soothing salt water wrapped around me like soft plush blanket. Although I knew that it wouldn't last long before I started to change, I was still relieved to find that it wasn't any different from last time. I knew that time was nearing as all of the others started to come. What? You didn't think that I was the only one, did you?
Hell no! There were thousands of others like me. You see, I was their leader since I had the gift of the siren. Every two-hundred and fifty six or so years, someone like me would pop up out of nowhere. I was a rare mermaid, and all of the others went where I did. Meaning, which ever part of the ocean I went, they had to go, no other choice given, weather where they were from was getting the full moon or not, they still came. It was exciting, energizing, and no feeling in the world compared to it.
They all gathered around me, mermaid and merman alike, preparing for what I had to say.
"My fellow brothers and sisters," I said, speaking loud enough for them to hear, "Today I have discovered that we have a werewolf amongst us." I listened as they gasped in astonishment. "Hush! I will not let this ruin what we have had for over two million years! This is the time when we must stick together! So, what I ask of you is great, and I hope that you will listen." I paused and gathered their eyes. "I have not the information as to how many there are in our presence or existence. So, I ask that each and every one of you come to my land where I rule over the foolish humans."
Mummers and whispers spread over the crowd, and I waited for someone to speak up, and they did. A boy, about my age, maybe a little older.
"My Luna," I was that to them, "Forgive me for saying this, but does that not seem a little dangerous? What will we do? Pack up and leave our families? I mean, take a look around you, there are children here. They need their mothers and fathers. For some people here, it is their first time changing. It is not something we should be doing. I understand that werewolves can kill us, but you yourself said that you don't know how many there are or where they hide. I think that the safest thing for us to do is just wait to see what happens."
All of my people nodded in agreement with him, as did I.
"As your Luna, I greatly apologize for my words. Thank you for bringing this to my attention. But as the sun sinks, I ask that you would take it into consideration. If you decide not to come, then please be careful. Do not trust anyone with the color of blue in their eyes. I do not want someone of my kind to mistake a human for a werewolf. But be warned, if any one of you passes because of the beast, you will all come here, child or not. Am I understood?"
"Yes Luna." They all replied.
"Good, now spread out and look for ships. If you see one, then tell me through our one bond. Does everyone know how to use the bond?" They nodded. The bond was really just is being able to contact each other with our minds. "Excellent, tell me and I will sink it, if you see a lone human, bring them to me and I will take care of it. Am I understood?"
"Yes Luna." They all replied.
"Good, now go before the sun sinks. If you start to see the moon, come back immediately, I don't care what you see, just do as I say."
"Yes Luna." And then they left.
