CHAPTER 11 A HARSH DECISION
It has been a month since the incident with captain Anna had taken place, and Charlotte and Marina were getting accustomed once again to living with Ismael. Now that there were no worries to deal with and Charlotte no longer was a pirate, it was necessary to do changes in her life.
After taking two days to calm down and checking if there was anything to save in the shack, Charlotte and Ismael started working on the few crops that were left in the back of the house. They were not enough to earn money by selling them in the market of the town, but with Ismael and Marina’s combined efforts, they were able to get fish to sell. It was not easy for Marina to gather the fishes knowing they would be used for food, but she knew it was necessary for giving support to her friends.
During the following weeks, Ismael taught Charlotte everything he knew about growing fruits and vegetables, and Charlotte learned quickly so they could retrieve their crops. Still, they required some

Marina The Siren CHAPTER 12 A NEW LIFE
Marina was surprised by Charlotte’s words. Did she love her? How could she know that? Marina wasn’t so naïve as to not understand Charlotte’s feelings, but she has not experienced them herself. Sure, she has seen some of her people back at home giving love to their meaningful others, but apart from her parents, she has not experienced receiving love from another person. Willing to have a better understanding of Charlotte’s feelings, Marina asked her “How do you know that you love me?” Now it was Charlotte’s turn to be surprised. She had not felt what she felt for Marina for anyone before, and when she met Anna, the first thing she felt was admiration, and with the pass of time she felt something else and she thought that was love. But if it was love, why did she feel something similar but at the same time so different for Marina? Why was she so willing to put her life on the line to protect her from anything, including the woman she had spent most of her life with? What did
Marina The Siren CHAPTER 1 BEINGS OF TWO WORLDS
Since unmemorable times, the ocean has been a place full of mysteries that mankind has always tried to understand. Mysteries that lie far beyond the surface of the water, where the sunlight does not shine anymore and no human being can go. One of these mysteries is about a strange creature whose mere existence has captivated thousands of people, but at the same time has been put on doubt, as the idea of a living being half human half fish seemed impossible. We are talking about the sirens. Just like humans, there were many different types of sirens: males and females who took pride in their fish tails of different shapes and colours; and among all of them, there was one that stood out the most, thanks to her beauty, pale skin, bright aquamarine tail and vibrant pink hair. Her name was Marina. Marina was a happy, joyful siren, with a great love for singing. In her free time, she loved to go and play with the animals of the ocean, and she was always willing to help tho
Marina The Siren CHAPTER 2 THE FIRST ENCOUNTER
One clear morning, Marina was swimming in the outskirts of her community when a shoal of fish quickly swam towards her. The siren stopped her swimming and allowed the fish to get closer to her; she was worried that something bad was happening if the fishes were swimming so fast.“What is going on little friends?” Marina asked the fish. Although they could not speak in the same way they did, sirens could communicate with all the animals in the ocean, and thanks to this Marina was capable to understand the fish when they told her somebody was pushing their friends out to the surface.The girl followed the fish to the site where the captures were taking place, and once she arrived she was surprised with what she saw: a strange group of things similar to thin seaweed intertwined with each other created a type of barrier that captured the fish and pulled them up to a strange oval-shaped object floating in the water surface.Attracted by this peculiar obje
Marina The Siren CHAPTER 3 THE ATTACK
It was a new day. Captain Anna woke up with the very first rays of sunlight and prepared herself for the day. She left her quarts and started to make a lot of noise to wake up her crew.“Wake up you lazy rats! Sun is shining and there is no time to lose!” Anna shouted in her attempt to wake her sailors. The fuss was so much that everybody on the ship started to get up, including Marina who was slightly disoriented due to the sudden ruckus.Marina started to look around her trying to understand why there was so much noise, but she could only see the bars of her cell. After doing her observation, she felt something weird happening with her body right in her lower half. She looked down to her tail and she was surprised with what she saw. The siren did not understand what was going on, but she was sure it was not normal.On the ship’s deck, Charlotte was joining the crew who were forming a circle around the captain. The shipmaster was making an eff
Marina The Siren CHAPTER 4 THE MAN FROM LAND
When she woke up, Marina was confused. The last thing she remembered was arriving at a beach and hugging Charlotte, but her surroundings were different from the beach she had arrived. She was now on a room with walls colour light brown, and she was laying on something soft while covered with a white cloth. Marina took it off and she could see her tail was gone once again, replaced by human legs. Marina stood up from the bed after making a huge effort as she still did not know how to use her new legs, and once she was standing she started to walk with clumsy steps towards the door. She opened it and found herself in another room, with a table in the middle of it, a cylindrical object in a corner and a window from which she could see the ocean. Next to the table, a man was sitting while drinking something from a little recipient. Marina tried to get closer to him, but as she gave the first step the wooden floor creaked. The man heard this and turned around, and showed a small smile wh
Marina The Siren CHAPTER 5 NEW FEELINGS
It has been a month since Marina and Charlotte were rescued by Ismael, and since then everything has been good for both the siren and the pirate: after seven days, Charlotte’s wounds healed completely, and she immediately tested her body to make sure it had no sequels. For her good luck, nor her strength nor agility were affected, and the last vestiges of her wounds were some recurrent headaches, for which she was drinking a herbal tea prepared by Ismael. Once Charlotte was recovered completely, she and Marina helped Ismael with his daily house chores.He taught them how to collect fruits and how to hunt, as those were his main activities to do for a living. He also taught them how to farm vegetables on the little crop he had on the backyard of his cabin. One day he took the girls to a small town far from the coast where he would sell a part of the food he collected to get money and buy some supplies he needed in the cabin.During that month, Marina never touched the water.

Marina The Siren CHAPTER 6 THE SHIP IN THE HORIZON
It was a new day. Marina and Charlotte went to take a walk on the beach while holding each other’s hands. It was the siren who suggested to do this, although she was not sure about why. The feeling of their hands intertwined made both girls feel happy, so they stayed silent the whole time enjoying each other’s company.“I will treasure this moment forever,” Marina said out of the blue, surprising Charlotte. After the conversation they had had on the previous day, the pirate girl got into a state of high emotional sensitivity, something she had never gone through before as she had always hidden her emotions when she was part of Captain Anna’s crew, and all to give the impression of being a fierce, aggressive and fearless woman. But now with Marina, there was no need to act, and being able to show off her emotions was something new for her. Still, her face expression was neutral.In the middle of the walk, Charlotte looked to the horizon and
Marina The Siren CHAPTER 7 THE RETURN OF CAPTAIN ANNA
“Captain Anna… You are back…” Charlotte said trying to sound happy.“As alive as always, matey,” Anna answered while getting closer to Charlotte. “And I see you have been good as well,” the captain said once she was standing right in front of her shipmaster and offered a hand to help her to stand up.Charlotte took Anna’s hand and stood up, and once she was on her feet she hugged her captain. Anna started to feel uneasy with this sign of affection and exclaimed: “Shipmaster Charlotte, calm down!”“I beg your pardon, captain,” Charlotte said releasing Anna. “I have forgotten you do not like hugs.”“That is not important now,” Anna replied. “The important thing now is that you come back with me to my ship and we continue with our hunt for a siren.”By listening to this, Charlotte felt a mix of relief and worriedness, as those words mean
