Love In Sirens
Finding the Best Strategy

"That's mending?" ask Audrina to Zayn. Remembering he had to remove the contents of his stomach because of the drug given Amber.

Zayn grimaced, "that's fine."

"How's dinner? Already working?" audrina was curious.

"It's been working, although the scales on my body are not completely gone but at least the scales are growing in the part I can cover it," Zayn replied with a smile.

Audrina looked down at Zayn who looked glum and still had a hard time accepting the reality that had happened to her. To be entertained however, the sense of not fully accepting himself must always be in his mind. He had to think of a way for Zayn to at least forget the harsh reality.

"Can I see?"

Zayn who had since lowered his head turned his head towards Audrina. He saw Audrina's enthusiastic face that greatly relieved him. The taste was always there when Zayn observed Audrina's face sparkling like that.

Zayn chuckled, unable to ignore Audrina's sweet face that made her heart amused itself. Seeing Audrina alone made her burden and negative thoughts drift away somewhere.

"You see what?" Zayn raised both eyebrows, teasing Audrina.

Audrina's face instantly flushed red, her hand spontaneously hitting Zayn's arm in anxiety, "look at your scales, Zayn. Don't think anything weird!"

Feeling successful in teasing Audrina, Zayn laughed out loud. He was happy when he teased Audrina because of her adorable reaction.

"Ah is real?" Zayn was still trying to tease Audrina.

"Zay! Don't do that!" pissed off Audrina again.

Zayn still continued to laugh, feeling funny because he managed to make Audrina upset. "OK, okay" he finally stopped because his stomach had hurt too much laughing since.

Audrina folded her hands and threw away her face, still feeling annoyed at Zayn who had been teasing her ever since.

"Ma."

"Na," call Zayn again.

"Audrina."

Audrina turned her head after the third call, "what?" ketus answer.

"Don't be angry anymore" Zayn said.

A sigh rang out from Audrina's mouth, "yes," her reply was short, dense and clear.

Zayn chuckled softly then subconsciously scrambled Audrina's hair slowly. Of course it irritated Audrina until she put her lips together.

Zayn slowly turned his back to Audrina who was still trying to tidy up her hair. It was a bit difficult because his hair was a little bit limp because they were currently in the water.

"Hem, my mind still doesn't believe that we can breathe in this water," Zayn slightly bent his back to show his waist which had scales towards Audrina,"to be very logical."

Audrina touched Zayn's waist slowly, "from the beginning there was nothing logical anyway, Zayn."

When Audrina's hand managed to touch Zayn's skin, her body immediately goosebumps. The gentle touch managed to make him slightly jerked and stiffened, he painstakingly swallowed his saliva.

Audrina's hands still continued to touch her waist to look at every scales that were still left there. For the time being Zayn was turning his back on Audrina, otherwise he would have been very embarrassed. Her eyes were now closed withstanding the sensation of Audrina's touch slowly dissipating along with Audrina pulling her hand back, stopping to touch Zayn's waist.

Zayn let out a sigh of relief right then and there. He straightened his back and turned to face Audrina again.

"At least it's better than before huh," Audrina chirped.

Zayn smiled slightly, "yes it's true. I'm also slowly trying to get used to this."

Audrina squinted her eyes, "Zayn, kamu—" Audrina's hand grabbed Zayn's face closer to her , then touched Zayn's lips slowly.

"W-why?" zayn's breathing again choked to find this incident, it could be Audrina touched another sensitive area. Zayn didn't know what to react to.

"Your fangs appear as well" Audrina said as she brought her face closer together.

Zayn's hand grabbed Audrina's hand and lowered it slowly, "really?" tanyanya tried to calm down, even though her heart was currently no problem.

Audrina nodded, "just like my fangs," he said, showing his fangs.

"I don't think that for fangs people are too hard on us" said Zayn.

Audrina agreed with Zayn. At least they could prevent deep suspicion from their physical changes while landing. Especially for their parents who must be very understanding of the changes that occur.

Zayn continuously tried to regulate his breathing which was still unstable with what had happened before. It was very different from Audrina who did not know what was going on. He was ordinary, while Zayn half-dead held back the feeling that was sticking up.

Audrina grabbed Wilona's book on the glass table of the room, trying to read the contents even though she didn't know what was written there. He had thought of asking Aoi to teach him the siren so that he could easily learn things from it more deeply.

Later I ask Aoi to teach me, her mind while continuing to open page after page of Wilona's book slowly.

...****************...

Rui looked at Amber with a hard-to-understand look. Amber had humiliated him in front of the other siren by slapping him very hard. His wave had already fallen by then also made him harden his jaw holding back the emotion that was about to come out. He must try to hold back his emotions or Amber will come back to humiliate him. Moreover, the threat to kill himself had already come out of Amber's mouth.

Rui knew very well that the threat coming out of Amber never messed around. He was always serious about the threat he said, Rui could not be rash.

"Is there anything you want to say again, Rui? Say it, I give it up" said Amber flat.

Rui fell silent, he did not answer the question. Annoyed, he threw away his face, avoiding Amber's increasingly cold gaze. Feeling that Rui did not respond to him, Amber felt a little pleased.

"Alright if there isn't," Amber turned her gaze forward, looking at the siren in the center of the Hall.

Aziel cleared his throat, "how is our strategy?" he asked while looking at Amber.

"We'll just ask our war commander, Aziel." Amber turned her body around and shook her tail slowly moving towards Vivian, "how is Vivian?" tanyanya direct.

Vivian was silent for a moment, trying to think of the best strategy that could save her people as well as Audrina and Zayn. He does not want anyone to be hurt and must sacrifice for his own sake.

The best way to keep them all safe without sacrificing one side, is about how Vivian will find the best strategy.

Netra Vivian circled the entire contents of the Hall looking at her expectantly and curiously. The pressure was starting to feel pressing down on his back at the moment, a lot was at stake if he took the wrong decision.

Vivian took a deep breath, "I know this might be difficult, but—" she hung up her sentence while looking at Aoi who was nearby.

"Tell me," said Aoi who felt a bad taste from Vivian's face.

"For Audrina and Zayn's business it seems we're handing over to Thania and Aoi. There is nothing better than the two of them in keeping the precious ones like them" Vivian continued.

Geo frowned, as if aware of something. "That man is also darias?" tanyanya's confused.

Vivian nodded. "Zayn turned out to be Darias a few hours ago. The siren bone potion given to him by Gloria made him almost a full siren, but Amber had already dealt with the matter. Currently, Zayn is second only to Audrina who is still alive."

All the sirens who heard that were certainly very surprised and happy. Darias who was previously thought to be extinct because of the slaughter carried out little by little began to reappear. There was anger and gratitude to Gloria even though it was not allowed to force humans into sirens.

Giving the siren bone concoction is also illegal since the first because it can lead to excessive exploitation for sirens and humans at the same time.

"Alright, I think it's true. Aoi, Thania, you protect us from us." Amber Assert.

"What about us?" ask Geo again.

"I'll find a way out, you guys don't worry" Vivian looked at the entire siren and elder there confidently.

The safety of the lake siren is currently in Vivian's hands. May he succeed in preparing the best strategy to attack and defend from red sirens.

Hope so.
