Monster Academy - The Blood of Humans - Chapter Twenty-Eight

Legend of Castles:
It was 5 years ago when she was 12, but she remembered it clear as day. She was supposed to be spending part of the summer with her two of her sisters for a week. Rose was taking her and her other sister Elise to stay with her siren friends. The only reason she had to go was because her father wanted them to get along and also thought maybe they could teach her about a sirens song. About everything it could do.

But on the way there, she got sick of it, she couldn't handle the teasing and the torturing. They wouldn't leave her alone. So she ran away in the night, or well swam away.

When she reached land she found a nice little cove. She had only been on land once before she didn't really know much about humans. Though she wasn't naked, she was wearing a dress, one that seemed just a little to tight since it was from 2 years ago. She also had her star fish hair clip in her hair. It was alive though. She smiles running her fingers on the edges.

She stood there barefoot in the sand, away from the water staring. Then she heard a sound. It was faint but she could still hear it. She turned around to see a boy only about a year older then her. He had black hair, he was at least a few inches taller then her.

"Who are you?" She said to him with out thinking. He just stared at her, Alex thought somehow or maybe he ha seen her turn into one of them, but he didn't say anything about it.

"Darren...what's yours?" He said quietly. She looked at him, thinking if she should.

She stared at him silently, he just stared back to, his stare unwavering, but then he smiled, not caring about her name anymore, just thinking her shy at the moment.

"D-do you want to build a castle?" He asked. She nodded.

"But isn't it a snow man?" Darren just looked at her weirdly and laughed.

"Come on, but no it's not." He walked down the beach and motioned for her to follow, she runs after him, almost falling, but he catches her laughing even more. "Wow it's like you've not even been here before."

She first blushes but then thinks maybe he knows, but she extinguished the thought when she saw in his eyes that he just thought she honestly was clueless.

He stopped on a place at the beach, farther down were many people, but the only person there was a woman who looked at Darren. She smiled at Alex when she saw Darren had brought a friend. She looked confused though because of where they had come from. She left it along though and let them have there fun.

They started making sand castles, and started to meet on the beach every day.
