A Song to Save You

Katrina

The wave spat us out just next to a mangled nest of islands and cliffs jutting from the water in a part of the sea I didn’t quite recognize.

“Well where is it?” Bellamy asked, standing on the deck with Serena.

Serena chuckled and took his hand in hers as she gestured out to the ocean. “Below,” she said softly, her voice like smooth velvet.

“Then let’s go.” I was already taking my shoes off in preparation to dive in. “Every second that passes here is like another day for Milo.”

Bellamy secured our anchor, and I scurried to the side of the boat, dropping into the water where I wriggled out of my clothes and awaited my transformation, though I kept them tucked under my arm in case I needed to not be a topless siren at some point. Once my tail appeared, I glanced upward to see Bellamy and Serena enter the water in a barrage of bubbles. As long as Bellamy stayed with Serena, he could breathe under here just as easily as we could. I followed Serena as she led us to the base of one of the cliffs. Towering up from the sand, there was a small opening that even I would have overlooked blindingly if I hadn’t known it was there.

Serena swam in, effortlessly whisking between the tiny entrance in the dark rock. Bellamy gestured for me to go in next, and he trailed behind me. It was a dark canal, almost pitch black, but Serena’s subtle aura shone more prevalent down here and helped guide the way.

After a few minutes, we emerged, somehow breaking through the water to a dry cavern. A trickling waterfall and glimmering pool of water filled the farthest corner. I lifted myself out of the water and willed my skin and scales to dry quickly, changing back into my clothing as fast as possible. I glanced at Serena, who stepped out of the water with the grace of stepping out of a silk robe.

“Do you ever have a tail? If…if you wanted, I mean?” I couldn’t help but ask. She’d always had legs when we were underwater. But it was only natural that the mother of sirens could become a siren herself if she so pleased. At least, that’s what I would expect.

Serena’s eyes crinkled with a giggle as she nodded. “Yes, little siren. I can be any form I wish. But my tail is a bit different than yours. It’s quite dramatic, so I tend to save it only for special occasions.” She winked at me. I wondered what exactly that was supposed to mean, but right now learning about Serena’s mermaid anatomy was not my biggest priority. Milo was.

“Okay, how do we use this thing to pull Milo from the past?” Bellamy asked, dipping a finger into the ethereal silver pool. It rippled, but not like liquid. It rolled with the texture more like that of melted metal. “I’m guessing this fountain isn’t for drinking?” I looked
