S.I.R.E.N (The Journey of Love) - Episode 24

 

"Daniel I have something I wanna talk to you about and I can't say it through the phone. Can we meet in the next 20 minutes to explain everything to you". Siren began as she dialed Daniel's number.

"Of course Siren, give me the direction and I will be on my way". Daniel replied.

Siren gave out the direction towards the mansion of her new found father.

"Do you think he would still love me after hearing that I have a mermaid gene in me?" Siren asked Sirene who stood with when she made the call across Daniel.

They stood outside the premises of their grandfather.

"You said he faked his blindness just to get closer to you and it worked . Do you think he will leave something he had worked so hard to get?" Sirene asked her sister. "I don't think so, this Daniel would understand you and forgive you after you did forgive him when he lied to you. What I know is that no matter what Love rules. If he truly love you like he said he will look beyond your flaw and embrace who you are". Sirene added encouraging her sister.

Not long afterwards a horn was heard and the gate man stationed there quickly opened the gate. Daniel drove into the residence of Mr Glad.

Sirene excused herself and quickly went to meet the rest inside

. They had agreed on first that Siren should open up to Daniel and then they planned on how to get Jencita.

Siren quickly told Daniel everything, she hid nothing away from him.

"I know this would be hard for you to take, but please try to understand me also. I never knew about the mer folks until recently". Siren said.

"If you think that telling me that would stop me from loving you then think again". Daniel said to a happy Siren.

"So why are you here if I may ask? You didn't bring me all the way to here to tell me about your secret and also show me this beautiful mansion that is not as half as mine, are you trying to impress me?". Daniel questioned.

"You won't believe me if I tell you this". Siren responded.

"You just told me something important and I believed you why do you think I won't this time".

"Well, I just found out that the owner of this mansion are my grand parents". Siren said finally.

Daniel was bewildered by surprised.

"Siren are you both not done, we don't have all the time in the world dear and hi Mr Daniel never knew it was you". Salvador spoke from the door.

"We are almost through... Dad". Siren responded as she saw the confuse look Daniel was sending to her.

"You just called Mr Salvador dad". Daniel said.

"Yup, like I said I just found out that Mr Salvador is my biological father and his parents are my grandparents". Siren explained.

"Really? I never expect Mr Salvador to be your father". Daniel said.

"Do you know him?"

"Yes, we done business together severely, even my mum knows him better than I do".

"Okay, I think we should hurry up inside, we've kept the others waiting for too long and also I will introduce you to one of my sisters". Siren said excited as she lead him inside.

Introducing him to everyone, they were happy when Daniel gave out his consent to help Siren and co.

*****

Siren, Sirene, Daniel, Davies and Joel decided to go together and visit Jencita.

Getting to Jencita's bouquet they met Pola who seemed happy when she saw them- thinking that they were customers she greeted them warmly. She was particularly happy when she saw Siren with the guy she came with before.

Without any further delay she quickly called Jencita over to them.

Jencita saw Siren first before Sirene. She hasn't really noticed it before but now that she does, she realized they some how looked alike, the only difference between them was their hair color, Siren hair appears to be the only one in blue.

They told Jencita everything.

"How do you want me to believe this?" Jencita asked once they had finished explaining to her.

"They aren't lying, we are telling the truth. The queen sent you here to take Siren and bring her back to Oceania, but once you take Siren to her they will also capture you". Joel said this time. He was attracted to the lady standing before them.

Turning to look at the person that just spoke she was awestruck in surprise and delight when she felt something towards the new guy. She looked at him for a while starinog immensely at Joel as Joel was staring at her also.

"Okay, I am going to help you guys but once I find out that you played me I won't hesitate to end all of you". Jencita said In a more serious tone.

She turned to face Pola who has been watching and listening to every of their conversation. She placed one of her hand in her head and whispered some words. Pola eyes shone bright white and it faded.

Pola blinked her eyes many times to clear away the fog in her eyes as she asked. "What is going on? Who are these people?"

"Have you forgotten that they are our customers? Anyway they are here to pick some things for themselves here". Jencita answered.

"Of course ma". Pola reply.

"You can go". Jencita said and Pola left them.

"You saw what I did to her, well that would be very small to compare with what I would do to you". Jencita told them.

"And you are not the only one with powers just you should know". Sirene said.

"We don't have much time", Siren told them.

They quickly head back to Mr Glad's mansion alongside with Jencita.

"So what are your plans?" Alberta asked once Siren and co were back with Jencita.

When Jencita saw Mr Salvador she became a little bit convince about what Siren had told her. They have a striking resemblance with each other and she has come to believe to what they are saying.

"Well if you all can go according to what I say I have a plan". Jencita told them.

"You do?" Sirene asked.

"Yes, I don't know if it will work but I hope and believe that it should. I mean it is the only chance we have to get close to the Queen". Jencita explained to them.

"And how is that suppose to work? I mean what's the plan?". Daniel asked.

"Very simple, we go according to my original plan". Jencita replied.

"Plan?"

"Yes, I will pretend to have captured Siren and will take her to Luciana. Sirene would have been back by then to Oceania and when they must have captured me also- like you told me they would- then Sirene would save us". Jencita said as she told them her plans.

"You're right Jencita but how are we sure you won't betray us". Alberta said.

"I won't do such a thing. A princess always honours her word, if what they told me about Luciana is true then the Queen won't hesitate to have me killed alongside with Siren".

"Very well spoken". Alberta responded.

"So when can we go down to Oceania?" Siren asked.

"Tomorrow, let's use today and get to know each other, especially with Jencita here". Mr Glad spoke.

****

"Hello, I am Jencita what's your name?" Jencita asked as she approached the lone figure who stood alone at the pavement of the mansion. Siren and Sirene with their boyfriends have left for Old Paa residence. Siren had wanted Jencita to follow her down to her adopted father house but Jencita declined the invitation and decided to hang out with Joel who had earlier told them he wasn't going with them.

'There would be other times to see him'.

Jencita had told her before they left.

Turning to gaze Jencita he told her. "My name is Joel".

"Okay Joel, I wanted to go to my bouquet and I can't go alone, so since you are less busy can you follow me to my bouquet at least to put things in order- closing it- as I am going back to Oceania tomorrow".

"So that you can kill me without anyone knowing? Thanks but I can't go".

"Okay I lied, I wanted to talk to you without any disturbance". Jencita said finally

"You wanted to talk to me about what?" Joel questioned.

"Well icametotellyouhowihavefalleninlovewithyouatfirstsight". Jencita said quickly.

"Hey, slow down, I can't hear what you said".

Taking a deep breath. "Okay I said I came to tell you how I have fallen in love with you at first sight"

Jencita said but this time slowly. "It's like I was seeing the sun for the first time. I don't know if you believe it or not but I really like you and because I am attracted to you I accept helping them to get closer to you". She added.

"I am confuse and hurt. I love a girl but she doesn't love me the way I do to her. She only sees me as a friend". Joel said sadly.

"It hurt I can feel it right here with you", Jencita said touching her heart and then continued. "Let me share your pains, the girl do not know what she missed. I see someone who could make the day better, someone who could do anything just to make you smile. I love you Joel, please accept my love". Jencita said expressing her heart to Joel.

"It's true I am attracted to you, I won't deny it but I don't see you the way you see me. If you want me believe what you say then you have to prove me wrong about the things I have heard so much about you in Oceania, I have to believe you have changed and hopefully for better". Joel told her.

"Do you hate me that much?" Jencita asked.

"Yes I hate you regardless of this stupid feeling I suddenly have for you. I hated you with passion before and now".

"I haven't met you before Joel, this is my first time of meeting you. I don't even know why you said you hate me". Jencita said confusingly

"Hm, let me refresh your memories a little bit. Do you remember a little boy in Oceania you punished for touching your royal hair and speaking out of my love for you? As if that wasn't enough you had his mother killed rendering the boy a orphaned merman. I left Oceania because of you to dwell with the humans for many years. Never in my wildest dream would I have believed that Jencita would still be the same girl I will be attracted too. Fate is really cruel". Joel said and left a speechless Jencita.

****

"Wow, so this is your twin?" Old paa asked again after Siren had explained to him what had transpired since. Evelyn wasn't at home when they came.

"We are triplets father, Jencita couldn't make it with us to see you, though she sent her regards to you". Siren said.

"Hopefully I will meet her soon, welcome my dear Sirene".

***

Oceania:

"Your daughter has spent more than we had expected in the human world, does it mean that she has been found by the same daughter and defeated?" The elder of the evil Sirens spoke.

"That won't be necessary, I am back and I brought you the daughter of queen Lucy with me". Jencita voice broke out in the throne room as she swam towards her mother. A sleeping figure was on her shoulder.

Dropping the sleeping figure at the feet of her mother she continued. "This is Lucy's daughter".

The three evil Sirens swam together towards the sleeping figure and the elder one touched her forehead quickly withdrawing her hands as if they burnt her.

"She is, take her to the dungeon". She announced to the hearings of others.

"Guards, take the sleeping beauty to the dungeon". Queen Luciana said as some guards swam to where Siren lay and grab hold of her taking her to the dungeon. "Guards". She called out again and another set of guards entered. "Take her also to the dungeon, let her stay with her sister for the last time".

Without further delay they took Jencita away.

*****

"You acted well sister". Jencita said as soon as they put her at the same dungeon with Siren and the guards had left.

Siren pretending to be asleep opened her eyes.

"Yep, never thought I would be able to breathe and talk in water".

"Well get use to it". Jencita replied playfully. "Anyway, what Joel had said was what happened, so what are we going to do now?"

"Nothing but allow the plans they have manifest after all Sirene and the others would be planning on something". Siren responded.

***

"Let the preparation for the rituals of the Ultimate Powers start". Luciana said elated to the evil Sirens. "At long last I have succeeded in having the two bloodlines of Lucy". She added.

"Yes let the rituals start now, we don't have to wait much longer". The second sister said.

*****
King Triton Kingdom:

"Father how could you have given the evil Sirens to Luciana?" Alberta asked her father.

"How could I have known that your human son is the father of Lucy's daughters". King Triton said

"You have to do something fast father or else Oceania would be in doom. They are also your grandchildren too".

*****

Bringing out the statue of Lucy the evil Sirens started chanting.

Siren and Jencita were placed in front of the statue as the evil Sirens chanted and circle them.

They stopped as they had began.

"It is time to perform the ritual". The eldest said.

They gave out a sword made of purely gold to Luciana to use it and kill Siren and Jencita but a voice stopped them.

"Abeh tah agha seha". King Triton said and the evil Sirens all dispersed leaving only Luciana to face an angry king. Behind him where Sirene and the others

"You lied to my face about Lucy and for this I will make you rot away in my dungeon". King Triton said and ordered for Luciana to be arrested, he was the king of all mermaids and Oceania was one of his kingdom.

They took Luciana away.

King Triton said some words and the statue of Lucy dissolved.

Lucy was back.

****

"I am so happy seeing you again". Old Paa said as he and Lucy sat down discussing about the past.

"Yes and me, I am glad everything went well after all". Lucy said.

Mr Salvador pulled up at the residence of Old Paa.

"Your knight is here". Old paa said.

Lucy had told Salvador her reason why she ran away. She saw Salvador the day she had wanted to tell me about the pregnancy with a lady laughing out to their heart content and he kissed her on the cheeks. Salvador had laughed and told her the lady she saw him with is his elder sister who usually visit the family once in a while. Not believing it Salvador invited his sister home.

"I knew you would be here". Salvador said as soon as he walked up to them. Lucy were all smiles when Salvador picked her up kissed her.

Old Paa smiled in happiness.

"So let start from where we stop". Salvador said, going down on his knees, "I know that you have gone through a lot without me by your side so I want to make it right Lucy.

. Will you do me the honor to be my wife?"

"Oh Yes!!"

****

"I am asking Siren tomorrow to marry me". Daniel told his mother.

He had explained everything to his mother leaving out the mermaid part.

His mother was at least happy that her son was getting married to one of Salvador's daughter and quickly gave out her blessings to them. To her more business and more money.

****

"Would you marry me?" Davies asked.

"Yes, I will marry you". Was Sirene replied before she was engulfed in kisses.

*****

"I am so sorry for what I did to you back then. I was selfish and stupid, please Joel forgive me I am not asking for your love, I only beg for your forgiveness". Jencita pleaded with Joel for the umpteen time.

"After everything you've put me through I came to realize that Love is a strong emotion that one shouldn't take slightly. I have forgiven you since the day you realized your mistakes, I have let all be bygones, so I have forgiven you".

"Thank you". Jencita said in happiness and made to go but Joel's voice stopped her.

"These past few days has made realize how much I love you, so maybe I will give us a chance to start afresh to know what the Journey of Love is all about that is if you haven't fallen out of love with me".

Without saying anything Jencita rushed and hugged Joel. "Thank you so much Joel. I am willingly to start The Journey of Love with you and with time I hope it would blossom".

Lucy gave Oceania to Sirene's guardian, Rola to rule when she is not there. Oceania became peaceful once again.
