MARINA’S POV
The very moment I didn’t hear a heartbeat, I felt my heart go weak.
Lying down on the shores of river was the future Queen of the wolves.
Dead.
Her red hair sprayed over her head.
The blood that had flowed, finally stopped.
Her skin was white and she looked as pale as death.
I sat beside her body, dazed.
Wondering what I was going to do.
I was in so much more trouble now.
Now there was nothing I could tell anyone that would make them believe me.
I began to tremble frantically as my mind raced for a solution.
And the one came to mind.
The Death song.
I swallowed hard.
I had never sung it before but I knew everything I needed to about the song.
It was the one gift Siren’s had.
The one thing people had haunted us over.
The ability to bring the dead back to life.
But at the expense of their own lives.
Most sirens who tried it, died.
The power too strong for them to even handle.
For those who could, the first time was mostly the hardest to hand.
I was barely ten years old and yet here I was.
Sitting beside a dead body of the future Queen of all wolves.
What had happened to her was unfair.
Her own twin sister killing her?
I gritted my teeth when I thought of how she had used the rock to hit her with so much force she fell overboard.
To think your other half would do that to you.
I sighed heavily.
It was unbelievable.
She didn’t deserve this.
She deserved a chance to live.
Even if it meant far away from the people who had hurt her.
I sighed heavily and bent down over Jasmine.
The way she had been taught to in class.
They just hadn’t ever done on anyone.
I looked at Scarlett’s head and gently rubbed it.
I pushed away the violent red curls away and I sighed.
I then placed her spare hand on her chest while the first remained on her forehead.
Then i closed her eyes and felt the spirits speak within me.
My body trembled and I felt as though my spirit was about to leave my body.
My eyes went a complete white and my body began to sparkle.
And then I began to sing the song.
I sang it in the sweetest way possible and it felt as though I wasn’t singing it alone.
That I along with so many other spirits were singing together.
We sang and sang and for a split second it didn’t feel like an out of body experience.
It felt as though my spirit was in fact leaving my body.
Like I was going to die.
I pressed my eyes and reinforced my strength as I battled with my mind and powers.
Eventually my body slowly began to ease with the pain and then I felt my spirit align with my body.
It took a few minutes.
The bright light that I had felt illuminating around me slowly started to fade.
I took in a deep breath and very slowly opened my eyes.
My hands gently caressed the red headed girl that lay down on the floor.
Her eyes slowly fluttered and for a split second, I thought she was looking at me.
At all?
Not even her name?
What was I going to do with her?
I looked down at her as she lay down seemingly asleep.
I couldn’t return her back to the royal pack because how did I know her sister wouldn’t kill her again.
Especially now that she no longer had her memories?
Who would even believe me?
A mere siren who was still young in siren years over the word of a princess.
I couldn’t take her to the sea.
She didn’t belong there and the king would demand I return her back.
I was back to square one, with no solution to my problems.
And then I heard some noises.
A man and a woman.
From their scent I could perceive they were wolves.
I used my strength in attempt to read their energy.
To my amazement, it was clear.
Honest.
And genuine.
One of the few perks of being a siren was the ability to perceive the energy of lower tier wolves.
Especially for my age.
As their voices drew nearer, my mind raced in question.
Wondering what choice of action I was going to make.
I thought and thought very deeply.
And then the most dangerous sprung to my head.
I was going to let the find her.
If one tried anything I would kill them in a split second.
I hurriedly dashed into the water and hid.
The moment they came across the beach, I saw them.
They ultimately froze and then the woman rushed to the princess.
