mother says it's easy.
spread your wings, let the breeze carry you. open your mouth and the words will come tumbling out before you know it. you nod at her and watch her as an example. she takes off with the wind under her wings like she was made for this and her voice echoes across the wide ocean loud and clear.
in this moment, your goal is nothing more than to be just like her. (oh if you only knew the future, dear little etta). so you take a few steps back and get a running start, launching yourself into the air off the edge of the cliff.
you're falling, falling, falling and the water is getting closer, closer, closer and then -
your body kicks in, your wings flap and you steady yourself just above the water. you glide along the water, before flying skywards and perching on a large rock, eyes looking for your next meal. mother said she won't feed you anymore, it's time for you to learn how to hunt.
humans? you ask her. her laugh is infectious and melodic. yes, she says, humans if you wish.
your beady eyes scan the ocean for possible prey and you spot a ship in the distance, and you take off to perch on a rock closer to it. you hesitate for a moment - if only because of your lack of experience - before you sing your song of scandal and savagery.

You haven't been on the ship long, the lowest ranking member of the entire crew. You like it here though, you finally feel free. Sure, you're only a wanted criminal... with parents who have probably cried themselves to sleep, but still! You're free! The boat moves, abruptly making sharp turns as everyone moves towards one port. You don't know what the its about, but your ears are plugged to drown out one of your buddy's tales about the last time they saw a woman. You found it pretty gross, but rather than speak up and stop him, you just plugged your ears with some rags. Some of the crew lean so far over that they plop into the water, surely to be swallowed by the sea. You see her though. You know what she is, you've seen her in your books. You rush up to the captain, but its too late. He's entranced and every time you try to grab the wheel, he draws his sword. You're heading straight for her. Your stomach is in knots and you wish you had just served out your time. You frantically look for a weapon. ETTA

your eyes are closed, but once your song is finished they open. you take in the sight of human men desperately wading in the ocean, trying to keep their heads above the water. next your eyes land on the boat, not too far from you. on it, men who haven't jumped. the song's affects will linger for a while - you know because you're mother told you - but they will not last long enough.
from your perch, you swoop above the ocean and catch men like they're fish. but mother has always said men who swim to you will tastes like salt and sulfur, so you catch one or two to eat later but no more than that. your true focus is on the men on the boat, the ones who will taste like the men your mother feeds to you.
when your talons touch the deck of the boat, your attention turns to the closest human and sink your claws into him before starting to feast on his meat messily. you don't notice that not everyone on this ship is under your spell. you're too reckless and inexperienced to check the boat, and kill those who are smart enough to get out of your song.
you just want to taste the best part of a human on your tongue. you don't care for the pasty skin that will be too sweet for your tastes or the thick blood that will wash everything down after. no you go straight into the chest and dig out a faintly beating heart. you sink your teeth into it like it's the last thing you'll ever eat, and you learn there is nothing better than this taste in your mouth (except there is one thing is better than a fresh human heart. a fresh siren one.)

You've never seen gore like this before. You thought you were a criminal, but all you dealt with was addicts and cops. You rip your captain's sword from his clenched fists, you don't know why he isn't walking over but you thank the gods. You don't have time to freeze, or mourn as she rips apart the people who you felt were family for the last month and a half. You feel lucky that she hasn't noticed you yet. You remember that not all threats lie in the ocean's depths. Shards of ice appear on the captain's blade, your plan is to make them shatter. Who knows how that will go, magic has never been your strongest point. It was always hard for you to use. You run down though, you don't worry about yourself, but the man she has in her talons. You reach him just in time to watch his heart pulled from his chest - blood everywhere - you feel like you might hurl, but you can't. You try thinking to what a siren's weak spots were, you remembered your mother taught you, but you can't recall. Your palms are sweaty. Shards pop off the blade, heading straight for the siren's face. "Hey shit face," is all you can muster to say, you sound tough but you're really shaking now that you see her up close. You're not tough, but if you don't do anything the entire crew is going to die. Maybe you can distract her long enough for her song to be over. You have to try.ETTA

Your meal is interrupted by words said in a human voice.
You turn, straighten your body so you're standing to your full height and narrow your eyes at the human before you. His words are not lost on you, but you have no need to answer him. He is a human, nothing more than a delightfully stomach-filling sack of meat and bones. He does not deserve your words, at least not at this moment.
A shrill cry erupts from your lips, as if a way of saying, I am giving you one chance to get away.

Your hands shake, its clear by the sweat on your brow you're a little more than nervous. You do not heed her words of caution, rather you run forward, eyes narrowed. You're not a story book hero, rather, you're just a mere human trying their best to not die. "Get off my ship!" You scream, but your face is shakey as you lunge at her face with your blade. You've never taken a life before, there had been close calls, but never had you been this close to ending another being. You shake your head, now is not the time for morality, she is a monster, she is eating the crew - your friends. ETTA i only take years to reply nbd
