"Darling what are you looking for that you want to turn the whole room up side down, did you loss something important?" Evelyn asked Old Paa as she had walked into his room and was surprised to see him scattering the room.

Old Paa pause to catch his breath and gently sat down at the edge of his bed before staring at Evelyn for a while.

"Nothing my dear, I am just looking for something I think I have lost". Old Paa replied once he got his breath under control.

"And what can that be dear?"

"A sea shell, a big unique sea shell . You can't find it's type in the market and it means a whole lot to me Evelyn". Old Paa explained.

"A sea shell?" Evelyn asked as she moved away from Old Paa towards an old luggage that they doesn't use any more. Well it held her old clothes and some of her old things were in it also. Putting her hands inside the luggage she brought out a well covered something and poke it in Old Paa face. She had once warned him never to touch her boxes of clothes as she did to his.

"You mean this kind of sea shell?" Evelyn asked smiling as Old Paa eyes widen when he saw what she was holding. He took it from her hands and hugged it closed to his heart.

"How did you find it?" Old paa asked his wife.

"Well, I know you do forget things easily so when I saw this shell I thought maybe it was here for a reason

. So I decided to keep it that maybe just maybe either you or Siren would ask for it one day. So here it is".

Old Paa stood up and hug his wife. Evelyn doesn't know what she had done for him.

"This sea shell". Old Paa began as they broke away from each other. "Is not really mine but Siren's own. Her mother gave it to me to give to Siren when it is time and I feel the time is right". Old Paa said leaving out the part of mermaids as he smiled at Evelyn who in turn smile up at him in understanding.

Old Paa has to wait for Siren to return to tell her about her heritage.

"Like I have told you Sirene feel free in my home". Alberta said as she took Sirene on a tour around her mansion.

Mr Salvador had earlier told Sirene that his mother request for her presence in her estate later that evening.

Joel had wanted to come with her but Mr Salvador told him his mother specific ask for only Sirene and not two people.

Mr Salvador drove her himself to Joel's home and patiently waited for her to get dressed. Alberta had warned him and he was also scared of his mother warnings.

She hurriedly took her shower.

Wearing her best clothes Joel brought for her, a purple knee gown matched with a purple shoe. She did her hair and decided to let her hair down. Her hair almost hiding her scars and wounds on her face. She left with Mr Salvador to his mother estate.

She was aghast by what she saw. The house or Mansion stood in the middle of the large estate. Different fleets of cars size and colors where all at one side of the estate. Three more duplex that were conjoined with the mansion stood beside it. Fancy light where being decorated outside. Sirene stare with her mouth wide opened as she stare around the estate. She wondered how the inside would look like.

She was welcomed by three servants who escorted her inside the mansion as Mr Salvador drove his car to park alongside the fleets of cars in it.

Seeing inside the mansion words fail to describe the beauty of it. Rather Sirene was left speechless at what she saw.

One of the maids motion for her to sit while one went to call Alberta who had been expecting Sirene.

The last maid went and came out with a glass of cold juice for Sirene who took it gratefully and thanked the maid.

Mr Salvador came in without talking or glancing her way quickly took the stair in the sitting room.

"Do you love it here?" A lovely richly voice asked behind jolting Sirene out from her thoughts.

Sirene turned to look at the owner of the voice and saw Alberta standing at the staircase. Standing elegant in her no hand blue gown that got to her knees. She wore a pair of blue slippers, very fancy to go with her gown. Her makeup were on the right places. Alberta even though rich look so simple in her clothes.

"Good Evening ma'am". Sirene greeted as she stood up to her feet as she greeted Alberta.

"Oh Sirene I don't like it When I am being called ma'am. Because you are an exceptional, you can call me Grandma, okay?"

Awkward Sirene nodded her head.

"Now come with me to my grand dinning table for dinner". Alberta said gesturing for Sirene to follow her up the stairs.

My granddaughter looks so beautiful in that dress of hers.

Alberta thought as she lead her to where her husband and son are.

"Feel free in my home". Alberta said as they arrived at a glamorous dinning table.

Mr Salvador and a old man that looks like him were sited and were discussing seriously. They had to pause when they saw Alberta with Sirene.

"Darling Sirene this is my husband, Mr Glad and you know my son already", Alberta said with a sense of humor then gesture to Sirene. "And this is the lady I told you about Glad love". Alberta said as she went over him and kissed on the cheek.

"Oh you are the sirene I have heard so much about from my love Al".

. Mr Glad said as he turns to look at Sirene. (He knows about the existence of mer folks. His wife had earlier told him about Sirene).

"Yes Sir, I am Sirene".

"Oh stop with the sir thing and call me Grandpa". Mr Glad said as he smiled warmly at Sirene.

"Darling, I want to take Sirene on a tour around the house first before eating". Alberta said suddenly, Glad and Salvador were discussing when they had walked in so she wants to give them a little privacy.

Nodding his head in acknowledgment Alberta took Sirene round the mansion.

"Like I have told you Sirene feel free in my home".

It would soon be your new home.

Alberta thought as she took Sirene hand in hers. "Come with me I have to show you something".

*****

"Sirene has been gone far too long Pola. I am getting worried about her". Endolei said as she, Pola and the prophecies were together.

"She will come soon, Endolei just be patient". The prophecies said together.

"Are you sure that Jencita haven't captured the both of them yet? Course I am having a bad feeling about this". Endolei said her deepest fear.

"You worry unnecessary Endolei but nevertheless let us put a call across Joel to ask him if he suspect anything unusual". Pola said.
