Help

Leaning on the bar counter Siren eyed the seven men, who apparently were pirates. Their heights varied but none of them could be deemed as short.

They had a specific air circulating around them that Siren was really familiar to. It was pirate'sas aura, a dangerous one on that.

The one in front with jet black hair definitely was their captain, his posture screamed leadership. He seemed to be the tallest, pale skin really complimented his deep chocolate orbs, his hair went past his eyebrows hiding half of his eyes, a black and blood red captain hat adorned his head making him look even better.

On his right was a shorter man with full lips and deep light brown hair that reached his eyebrows, his eyes were green like it held all the greenery on this land, his clothes were elegant making Siren wonder how pirate could hold elegance.

standing behind him was a tall man with long deep blue hair that reached his neck and quite a lot tattoos maybe more than siren had, his body art seemed to hold thousands of stories, skin tan due to being exposed to sun often, his clothes were dark-really dark and his eyes matched his blue hair reminding her of the ocean.

on his left was man slightly taller than the chestnut haired one. He had dark brown hair and a scowl on his face, skin so pale it shocked her but his skin wasn't sickly pale it was pale like a pearl shining no matter what, his eyes held a purple hue adding onto his Angel like look but his expression was surely one of a devil.

on the captain's left were three men one with quite long dirty blonde wavy hair but not longer than the one with tattoos,he had structured face and big eyes, both eyes held different colors reminding her of a long lost friend. One eye was blue while the other held a black hue, he also had tan skin complimenting his white button up

the man beside him had black swept back hair, his lips full and eyes sky blue, his face had to be the most perfect face siren ever saw, he seemed to be the second tallest after their captain, his skin was like chocolate making anyone who looked at him drop their jaw.

Siren never knew someone's forehead could be this holy

And finally standing in front of him was one with ginger hair and a cheery aura, this one too had dark skin looking just as beautiful, his eyes were like beautiful pools of honey- really sweet but also held a gaze that he wouldn't mind killing someone in a moment just by one strike just like a bee does.

All of them had one thing in common. Ethereal beauty.

Clearing her thoughts Siren put on a stoic face and told the lady behind the bar to give siren her favorite rum so that she could clear her mind from all the chaos that has been regular in her life, "Thank you lissie" thanking the said woman she looked over at the pirates while drinking from her bottle.

The liquid entered her mouth and gave her tingly feeling of the bitter rum, humming in pleasure she tilted her head while looking the captain straight in the eye.

"So...what business do you have with me? She asked putting pressure on the word business. It was amusing how these men came to her for something like business because doing business with Siren is like signing a contract to ones own doom.

"We want to talk" the deep blue haired guy spoke. His hair were an odd color indeed siren has never seen someone with blue hair except a real full or half siren.

This made her wonder if the young man before her eyes was a mystical creature or not Raising a brow she said "talk then" Siren could see the blue haired guy getting more pissed by every word she said and she enjoyed it.

Annoying and pissing someone off was a charm of Siren that she accepted proudly. "In private" the captain added firmly.

Looking around at all the eyes that were on them. Sighing Siren looked at the people in the bar and demanded. "I don't want to see anyone here except me and these 7 men. You all have 5 seconds. 5.4.3.2.1" she could see the bar getting empty as the seconds went by but one woman stayed behind.

That lady had to be a fearless one to disobey siren. Siren folded her arms across your chest eyeing the woman, burning her with intense gaze that surely made the lady's confidence waver. But she still said what she wanted to "Why are you making us leave because of these scummy pirates?" Her words were really hurtful, Siren felt it.

Pirates were never really adored by what people called 'society' but insulting them in front of Siren sure was a daring move.

Getting annoyed she threatened "see. I don't think you want to join the fresh dead body lying in my cabin and I'm not in the mood to get my hands dirty either. So, if you love your worthless life. Get out. Now." The so called confident womanran out of the bar clinging to her dear life, lucky that Siren spared her life.

"woah. I get why people fear her she can be really scary" someone whispered in a low octave making the person's words go unnoticed by her. Siren turned around sipping her rum, leaning on the counter lazily she asked in her deep voice.

"Well we are in private now. Say what you want to say" "We need your help" the captain spoke firmly. This made Siren almost crack up, helping wasn't really a thing she did and these unknown men asking for help was almost humorous.

Chuckling slightly she raised her eyebrows and said "I'm sorry captain. But I don't help people".

The angry one had enough of it now "you-" he growled but was cut off by the bar door being opened and small girl in purple dress running towards Siren, crying. Her cries were loud breaking everyone's heart.

Her eyes softened immediately. Her scary and strong aura dissolved into something soft, something fragile, something completely opposite of Siren. Siren bend down to the little girl's level and hugged her trying to calm her down "Shhh. Honey it's okay, don't be scared I'm here. I'm here" Siren whispered with a voice so fragile that the slightest bit of wind could break it.

Siren saw her younger self in the scared girl, her eyes held the innocence Siren lost years ago and siren didn't want to little girl to loose this sweet innocent herself so early.

Her immediate change in behaviour shocked the men a lot, just a second a go Siren was so fearless and proud like a pirate and now she was really protctive and kind hearted like a mother.

This duality of Siren was something not even the people who knew her for years ever saw. They just stood there and stared at her, seeing the storm of thick emotions Siren held without even letting it be seen, her posture changed to a more softer one and her movements got more careful.

Not noticing their presence Siren pulled away from the hug and gently held the little girl's shoulders. She slowly wiped the girl's tears away with one hand giving her a soft smile and asking her.

"What happened sweetie?" fear was evident in the little one's eyes. "T-they will k-kill m-my mumma and papa. t-they are really bad. They a-are taking everyone's stuff and breaking o-our homes and s-shops." The little girl said stuttering and shaking, this brought back Siren's traumatizing memories but she had to push it away for now "Hey it's okay. I'll help you" Siren said giving her a reassuring smile

. "Hm. By the way. What's your name?" She asked patting the girl's head trying to distract her from the awful sadness.

"L-lily" she said timidly. "Wow! lily you have such a beautiful name. Now be a good girl and stay here" Siren told her but she seemed reluctant.

Lily's reluctance was not wrong "Hey don't worry you won't be alone. Lissie!" Lissie came back from the back door.

"Yeah?" She asked. "Would you please take care of lily while I'm gone?" Siren asked. she smiled looking over at the little girl"Of course. Come on lily let's play!" Lily was less scared now.

Her tears seemed to dry out. She let Siren go and went with lissie. Siren stood up turning to the pirates her expression completely changing from warm to cold.

Aura was dark again now and the power she holds- well that never went away.

"You said you don't help people" the angry one said with a smirk.

Siren was about to say something when a blast cut you off.

This was her cue to go but before going out she looked at them

"wanna come?"

Siren was standing in the horse stable with the seven men, her hand stroking a out of the world black beast's mane. The stable lowly lit with horses standing and eating quietly.

"You know how to ride a horse?" Siren asked a mischievous glint in her eyes.

The chestnut haired guy who was too busy admiring the horses snapped his head towards her upon hearing her words. Sure he knew how to ride a horse, he was pirate who has traveled half of the world for God's sake but the tone that Siren's question carried seemed like a hidden message, it was a mocking tone more or less but he was still fazed with the white beast beside him that her words sounded like a mere mumble to him so he asked adding the only word he could make out from her mumble "Ride a what?" And the next thing he knew he was on the white horse following Siren somewhere.

When she arrived at the town square. The view in front of her made Siren's blood boil. People were crying, some shops and houses were on fire, the robbers were taking all their money and the worst of all it was happening in front of her eyes. It was a complete chaos.

Nothing was in control and the female pirate hated that. Her presence is supposed to quite everyone down and if that doesn't happen on it's own she does it herself.

Taking out her lovely blunderbus Siren shot in the air making everyone go quite. Now it felt better. Even her shotgun's sound was recognized by the people. Seeing Siren relieved the victims, now they knew what doom the bandits brought upon themselves.

Siren wasn't someone who showed emotions, not even through her eyes but there was one that scared people to wits and that was anger. Lucky for the trouble makers she was outraged.

Siren's eyes were red due to how angry she felt. "What the in the barbossa's beard is going on?" The so called bandits were regretting their decision by now.

Their courage to go against her vanished in thin air when they saw the look in her eyes. Getting off her horse she stood in front of the 11 robbers, her glare burning holes in them.

"Didn't I tell you not to comeback" Siren growled through gritted teeth.

These robbers were the same ones who created chaos a month or so ago, feeling a little empathy towards them she gave them a last warning and let them but looks like they didn't quite understand her generosity.

The one standing at the last scoffed "well we came anyways" everyone looked at him with wide eyes knowing exactly what will happen next. One of them appeared to be feeling a little daring today but that too melted away when Siren took out her cutlass and slashed his abdomen making him shriek in pain.

She looked at the injured man and said "You're lucky I'm feeling generous today or That would've been your throat" looking back at the other 10 remaining Siren demanded and showed how powerful she is.

"On your knees. Bow to me" they did as she said except one who was standing straight. This idiotic audacity was draining the female pirate. Rolling her eyes she kicked his kneecap making him fall on his knees "You guys really have something for not listening to me, don't you".

"I swear I heared a crack" blue haired whispered

"looks like he's gonna bow forever now" black hair whispered back making them all snicker.

They were standing back and watching everyting go down "Now. This is the last time I'm telling you this. If I see you here ever again. I'm not going to be so" she point towards the two men lying on the floor injured.

The bandits were shaking by now making Siren even more satisfied. Siren feeds on power and fear. "Generous" they all nodded swiftly and ran away carrying their not so ok friends.

"Dimwits" Siren scoffed shaking her head. After they were gone she looked around and all she could see was destruction. Two fourth of the town was burned down. The amount of money that will go in fixing this place didn't bother her because the donations were more then enough to fix and modify this place, what bothered Siren was that she knew they will come back because for them Siren will leave the next dawn but now she had a change in plans.

Turning around to look at the pirates Siren asked "You need my help right?" Captain nodded, he knew the pirate had someting up her sleeve, her almost invisible smirk made it obvious.

"I'll help you.....but" "but?"

The wavy haired one asked, intrigued to know what will make Siren help them.

"You will have to help me first."
