Chapter 3 Beach Attack

The people start screaming, and in that moment, I run between the tables towards where my sister was. My jaw drops and my nails grow into sharp claws, two sharp fangs sprout from my teeth, and I sink them into the arm of the werewolf attacking my sister, screaming with strength. In that moment, his arm throws me to the other side and launches me into the air. I land on a couple of tables a few meters away and feel a deep pain in my hips.

I watch as other men transform into beasts, leaving their human forms behind. Some of them tear apart and dismember people as they run and advance among them. A hand pushes me on the shoulder and helps me to stand up. My sister, Seila, extends her hand to me, I grab it and run behind her.

"Follow me! Quickly!" we run between the tables of the restaurant and head towards the bar. My face, which had transformed into that of a mermaid ready to attack, regains its normal features.

I watch in amazement as Yryhnna, transformed into a furious mermaid, sinks her fangs into a werewolf and scratches his face, twisting his neck mercilessly until he dies. My sister runs through the crowd.

I turn my back to the crowd and slide down the stone wall, landing seated, disconnecting from the sound of everything around me. I send a telepathic message to Yryhnna.

"We're safe, hiding behind the bar in the restaurant."

Yryhnna runs towards the bar, guided by my voice. My older sister had the gift of clairaudience, she could easily hear messages from angels and the spiritual plane. It was a gift given to her by an angel, Samantha de Ageón, when Yryhnna was born as the firstborn of our parents.

"Are you both alright?" she asks, joining us behind the stone wall. Her eyes fill with tears as she holds Seila's face with one arm and me with the other.

She starts to cry softly.

"We're fine," Seila responds.

"I saw a Irish Syren," Yryhnna says. "She attacked me first, then confessed that this was an ambush, and the werewolf jumped on her."

"She's dead, the werewolf tore off her heart before she could transform into a bird."

In that moment, I remember the girls with mysterious looks and seductive faces next to me at the bar. How could I have not noticed them so much?

"Oh my God. I saw them in their human form too, they were trying to seduce a guy, probably to devour and kill him afterwards." I put my hands to my lips, and my heart jumps in my chest. I couldn't say the last words out loud.

"We have to help them," I say firmly.

Seila shakes her head in denial, and in that moment, a man screams in desperation and is thrown towards the bar. A part of his body falls in front of us, breaking the glasses and bottles hanging in front of the bar.

"We are outnumbered, Mia. The best thing we can do is call the mermaid guards to escort us home."

"Werewolves hate the sea, we can go back to the water at any time. We can't let them die," I said, with tone demanding. But deep down, I was being extremely selfish, wanting to expose my sisters to a deadly war just to save the life of a stranger. "He´s just a stranger..." I tought I might never see again. I thought to myself as I stared above the bar table looking for the sciesnt guy

"Mia, send a message to my father," Yryhnna ordered to me,

"Seila and I will save the humans and ask them to run towards the sea. We can protect them there." Seila and Yryhnna exchanged glances.

"Why am I not going?" I asked.

"Because you are the most empathetic of the three, you can feel the pain of everyone more intensely, and that will be a distraction in the fight. Plus, Seila can help me if I am needed," Yryhnna explained. I understood what Yryhnna meant, Seila's song was deadly. I nodded. Seila has the gift to sing until people drawns into the sea.

Wait," I grabbed my sister Seila's arm. - I saw two other Syrens, one redhead, the other with curly brown hair and brown hazel eyes"

Alright," Yryhnna said, getting up from the ground.

"There is other person" I explain to my sisters "A guy with bushy beard, and a little bald, please save him"

"No worrie sis, I will keep him safe" Answer me Seila with bright eyes. "Finally you find a guy" She answer me and disappear jumping the bar.

“Earth to Mía!” Yryhnna’s voice broke her reverie. “You’re daydreaming again. Come on, join the fun!”

"We seldom stop to think that life will end," he explained, with a slight expression of fulfillment, as if he had deeply meditated on it.

My pupils dilated as I heard his voice. It was as if every word he spoke expressed wisdom. But there was also a hint of arrogance. Was I going crazy by perceiving this human so intensely? What made him so special?
