'Do explain.' 'She was in danger, we've been watching the shore, they were ready to kill her!' Lavina exclaimed.

'She is not a child; she can look after herself. Bringing her here is a death-wish...' She trailed off, before glaring at all the guards and the other sirens. "Leave US."

They all listened, aside from Ariella, who raised an eyebrow.

"May I stay, sister?”

Sister?

Deliana pursed her lips before giving a small nod.

The pain in her eyes somehow told me she was telling the truth. "He said I was a monster, but I had done nothing to be called one. He forced me to the ocean, knowing fore well my father would kill me.

If you were a full siren I would have kept you here, but your lungs weren't made to live underwater constantly." Deliana continued.
