Amelia's pov
Finally at the door of my house after days of staying with that tyrant.....tears threatened to fall as I recalled the event of what happened in the palace, I didn't even take a cab as I ran 8 freaking miles from the palace to the house.
*Knock knock* I knocked on the door and she alerted me she was coming to open the door...
"Grandma" I said as I stood still and let the whole tears fall as I was in front of my only family, my only true friend, the one in which I could lean on when I'm in despair..
"Oh my baby, come here" she said and she spread her arms wide to receive me....
Finally, warm hands pushing the cold hands received from Alex away from my soul..
A little part of me was hoping he had said he liked me or he had atleast stopped me from going, maybe that would have given me a little bit of light that he atleast likes me even if it was just a little....
Grandma warmed me up with her touch and ushered me inside the house as it was getting late...
"I made dinner, although it isn't much as I wasn't expecting you" she said with a calm voice but a part of me knew there was something to that sentence she made...or maybe I'm just overthinking things..
"It's fine grandma, I'm good" I said as I stood up to retire to the room...
"Uh, Amy dear, come sit for a minute" she said with a change of tone and I knew it was serious talk for me this night....
"It's about your dreams, or should I say visions" Grandma morena started..
"Visions??, you mean those nightmares were visions?.... I'm confused here grandma"
"You are the chosen one, you are the lost queen" what the hell is going on here, what the hell is she talking about, why can't my life just be straight forward for once.....
"Grandma, you're confusing me the more, I don't get you at all, what do you mean lost queen" I said, I know I might be rushing her a bit too much for answers but it something I should have known and I don't know if I should be angry at her for keeping a lot from me and just telling me now instead of a heads up...
"I should have known earlier my child, from the moment I saw those scales when I bathed you when you were just a new born,I knew her spirit was in you"Grandma said with regret for not figuring the whole thing but I couldn't blame her, she had to handle a lot when I was younger, dealing with the death of my mother and father and some of the sirens of our clan.....
Although, when mother gave birth to me i was a little different from her and grandma always thought I was special.....
I was the only one in the clan with blue and golden scales, and the only one who could manage my transformations well and hold them a little longer than the rest...
Whilst others turned to sirens immediately any little drop of water touches their skins, I don't turn unless I am fully submerged in water....
I never thought about all these signs till now....wait the man in my dreams said I was special, he wanted me, he wanted..
"My scales, grandma, a man wanted my scales!!!" I exclaimed in fear as I rushed to her side.....
"Amy, I know this might sound too sudden but we need to leave, this night, like right now or they will come for us, they will come for you Amy" grandma said with urgency when I mentioned the man....does she know something and isn't telling, why are there so many unsaid mysteries.....what the hell is in that book that everyone wants me to get....
"Grandma you are scaring me, what do you mean we need to leave, we can't just leave our home just like that" I said wanting to know exactly what was chasing us....at this point, the issue with Alex bothered me less as this pressing issue raised more concern...
"Amy, we leave now....get your pills, we swim tonight, the roads are dangerous"Grandma Morena said with urgency as I stood up from the chair without asking any further questions and going up to pick my pills...
Since we'd be swimming, clothes would be useless..

"Find Amelia Johnson for me now" I ordered as I pondered on my mother's words....maybe I really do care about her although I wasn't sure if I would call it love but it was clearly me not being able to imagine another day without her....
What is love anyways?.... I've always seen mom and Dad and the way they cared about each other when I was much younger and I could always see the 'love' in their eyes, I could also see the hurt that same love caused them....
I didn't really know the major reason they got separated but according to mom she didn't want her little boy to grow up with hate in his heart, but she didn't know that her little boy grew up to be more scared of love than ever....I didn't want Amy to get hurt but yet I could see that my actions had brought nothing but pure hurt and pain to Amy, and that's why I let her go, just maybe if she felt any little thing for me she would come back...
But I was stupid to think that the girl I forcefully kept with me and mistreated would come back to me, but I'm willing to make things right now, I want Amy back in my hands...if I go one more day without her?
I don't even want to imagine...
"We couldn't find her Alex" Eric said through the phone...
"What the fucking hell do you mean you couldn't find her" Don't you dare run away from me Amy, you're mine...
"We just got to the house right now, her house and it's empty....we tried to follow her scent but it disappeared when we got to the saltan ocean....the one at the shark house beach...do you think she..."
"No, did she..."I said as I suddenly fell in line with what Eric was trying to say to me....It seems she swimed...but to where,
Was she trying to run away from me?

"Grandma where are we going to" I said as I swam the ocean with my blue golden scales...and this time it was even more magestic than it was in the dream... There was a kind of silver bracelet that appeared on my right hand whenever I transformed and it had this kind of magestic look that gave off this intense aura....
Grandma on the other hand turned younger than her normal human self when she transformed....she looked just like mom in the dream, brown scales with golden hues scattered around it....although it wasn't as bright and breath taking as mine, it was also magestic...
"Just trust me child..." She's never ever gonna be straight forward with me ever is she....
We kept on swimming and swimming until grandma started slowing down.... it's like we went really deep into the ocean, but there was light but definitely not from the surface, it was a pearl, it was pearls arranged on a big shell and it shone to light up that part of the ocean...
"Where are we" I whispered to grandma and she squeezed my hands for reassurance that I was safe and in no form of danger, at least that's how I interpreted it until she suddenly pulled me into and invisible but visible wall in the ocean...
A white light, so bright rendered me temporarily blind.....
And for a while the white light shakes my brain and juggles my memories for a while, everything that happened from when I was born till now traveled through my brain as I went down the memory lane....
Watching my parents murdered in cold blood by those blood sucking royals....Hate quickly grew in my heart as we passed that memory, all well and good from that day until we reached 'the dance'...a memory I would never dream of forgetting even if it happened with the descendant of my enemy.....
Those intimate moments between me and Alex, the dinner with his family, his Mother and that day, today when he made me understand that I was fooling with myself thinking he had a bit of love, or even cared about me a little....
And then suddenly they all disappeared...the pain, hate, joy, everything disappeared....
It was like I was dragged into a new world, I couldn't even remember my own name...
"Welcome to Siren cove child" a woman told me....she had brown scales with a bit of gold scattered around it...she was beautiful and looked somewhat familiar...
"Who are you?"
