The crash was violent. One moment, laughter and rum; the next, fire, chaos, and the icy shock of the sea swallowing Caitlyn whole. Darkness took her. Now, moonlight paints the shore in silver hues. A soft, melodic hum drifts through the night air. Caitlyn’s blue eyes flutter open, vision blurring as she focuses on a silhouette against the moon. Pale hands rise, trembling, to trace the curve of a stranger's face, eyes widening in shock at the shimmering tail where legs should be. The pirate captain lies exposed, torn between the instinct to flee this siren and the magnetic pull of the song that saved her life.
