A sirens call

Crystal looked around leaning back on the rock. " What is there to do at night." she chuckled low under her breath. They were both creatures of the night...well siren's could choose and she had chosen night. She was dumb.

Peirce chuckled. "Night," he said. "I love the night."

Crystal nodded in agreement. She looked up at the moon. " Thats my favorite part." she said as she stared up at it.

Peirce looked at the moon. "What's so spectacular about it?" he asked.

" Home" she simply said still staring at it.

Peirce looked at her. "Oh," he said.

He was unusually calm.

" So...." Crystal started. " how long have you been here?"

"A long time," he sighed. "Too long. I lost count after 50."

Crystal nodded. " I see."

Peirce nodded. "Forever is too long," he said. "How bout you?"

Crystal looked at the sea. " This is my first year being on land. I've on been her for 6 months." she said.

Peirce rose an eye brow. "Really?" he asked, stunned.

Being on land for only 6 months was crazy to him. Maybe I should show her around, he thought. Maybe Crystal would like that.

Crystal nodded. She knew it was crazy. She had only gone for weeks at a time without killing. She was trying really. But it was hard.

"Do you want to see more land?" Peirce suggested.

He was feeling....Nice...Which was weird for him. Why was he being so nice? The girl was kinda creepy. The way she came onto him. That still freaked Peirce out. But he pushed it aside. This was her normal form, right? Nothing weird, right?

Crystal looked at the sea. She had always stayed close to it. But she wanted to stay with him so she nodded. " Sure why not."

Peirce looked at her. "We could go tomorrow," he said. "We could take my car and I'll show you around. It always helps to stay away from those who remind you of your past. If you truly want to stop killing, that's one way to help you. Or at least, that's what I think."

Crystal looked at the water with the moon reflecting off it. " Maybe your right." she said thinking out loud.

Peirce looked at her, studying her expression. "I know it helped me," he admitted. "Just don't go as far as I did."

He remembered Amber, the vampire that had gotten his brother killed. And for that, he killed her. He wanted to change too. And he couldn't let her get in the way of that.

Crystal turned her blue eyes on him. " How far did you go," she asked. " If you don't mind me asking."

Peirce shrugged. "I killed people."

" Oh." Crystal said not so shocked. He was a vampire why shouldn't he. She had too but only for joy and her nature.

Peirce nodded, "I didn't want them in my way."

Crystal studied him. " What happened?"

"Long story," he sighed.

Peirce had never told anyone about his brother.

Crystal looked in his eyes. " I've got time." she said.
