Part 7:

I sat up and my head throbbed with pain and so did my whole body.

I look at my side to see Harvey who's already sat up with his head on his hands.

"Harvey...." I reach to touch his shoulder but he faced me with a disappointed look. I retracted my hand, confused.

"I did it again." He said with sadness. "I hurt you...again."

I shook my head. "It's fine, Harvey-"

Harvey shook his head. "I need to tell you something... I've hidden something from you and now that I caused you pain, I think it's best that you know the truth."

"Then tell me..."

Harvey held my hand in his and he took a deep breathe. "I killed the Song of the Sea."

My eyes widen. "What? Then...how do we..." I couldn't find the words to say. "Harvey...we can't keep this up..."

Harvey nodded. "I know... that's why we need to select new one."

I nodded. "Is it that siren call that you mentioned the other day? Then it's settled, we'll find a suitable immortal."

Harvey frowned. "I'm afraid it's more complicated than that, my love."

The ocean is bright and lively as ever. I held myself as me and Harvey swim through the reefs of the Pacific.

We were heading to my home...but for another purpose.

Harvey looked at me with worry. "We need to find someone who's frozen in time and suffered lost love. As the siren would be brought back to life, someone will take a life as exchange."

I bit my lip. "How are we ever gonna find that siren?"

Harvey pressed his lips. "It's hard that I don't know immortal destinies...but I do know for the normal sirens. The only catch is that their destiny changes when the immortals are involved and they tamper with them."

I nodded in understanding. "Who can help us?"

Harvey inhaled deeply and exhaled slowly. "I know who."

"We're here" Harvey breathed out.

We surfaced and...we are back at our hometown.

We're back...but I don't want to be here for some reason.

Then it hit me.

Kosair...

Harvey transformed his tail to legs and held out a hand to me. I take it and shift my tail to legs.

Since it was night time, we needed to hurry to our old house before people could see us without any clothes on.

We eventually arrived to our old house and fumbled around for old clothes.

I opened the light switch to my room and many memories started to flood back in my mind.

I stood there just looking, everything was left as is.

I felt arms snake around my waist and torso.

Harvey kissed my neck softly and whispered. "I remember the first time you showed me your room. When you allow me to be close to you. I remember the first sleepover we had. I remember the first time I brushed your hair. The first time I bathed you. The first time...I kissed you."

I leaned into his touch, reminiscing those days. "I remember the first time you told me that you liked me."
