"And what can that be?" Joel asked, taking Sirene by her hands and walking her back inside his house.

"Mr Salvador is my biological father".

"What?" Joel exclaimed in surprised

"Yeah I am related to them and Mrs Alberta is a Mermaid too".

"You're not serious right Sirene?" Joel asked still bewildered.

"I get it. So if Mr Salvador mother is a Mermaid does that mean she knew of me being a merman?"

"Alright, I will do that straight away". Joel answered as he left Sirene for his phone he had earlier kept in his room.

Old Paa had long slept off along the sea shores. He had waited and waited for two miserable days for Siren to magically appear but to no avail. Evenly has tried to encourage him by telling him that Siren was Okay wherever she is.

"May the shell took her to some places to show her things dear". Evenly had spoken.

But Old paa didn't agreed to it.

"It's all my fault that she had disappeared. If I had known I wouldn't have given her the sea shell in the first place talkless about telling her about those things I said". Old Paa said out in misery.

"Siren is a strong lady believe me she will come back".

That has been two days ago and Siren hasn't made her appearance yet. Old Paa was getting worried by the day.

On the third day he decided to sit down at the place Siren had disappeared to hope for a miracle.

He did not know when he slept off.

A tap on his shoulder woke him up and he stir in his sleep mumbling 'Go away'. The hand tapped him once again and called out.

"Father?"

Realizing whom the voice had belong to Old Paa quickly opened his eyes. Lo and behold Siren stood in front of him concern showing in her petite figures.

Old Paa didn't know when the tears started dropping.

"Why the tears father, did something happened to mother?"

Surprising Siren, Old Paa hugged her.

"You've been gone since two days ago when you took that sea shell down here. We thought we had lost you when you disappeared from my sight. I thought I would never see you again Siren. Where did the sea shell took you too?" Old Paa questioned emotionally at Siren. He kept on staring at the Sea Shell in Siren's hand. Old Paa stare at Siren oddly, she appeared different.

"It took me to the land of the mer folks. I was showed everything about my mothers and sisters". Siren answered. "It was like seeing heaven for the first time. I saw my birth mother, I saw what they did to her. Father, my mother is alive caged somewhere in Oceania. I was showed everything, everything that involves Oceania. The day I told you I heard voices singing out to me calling me, where the Sirens being caged to the bottomless floor of Oceania calling out to me for help. I need to save Oceania father. The Prophecies said Oceania fate rest in my palms. I need to save my mother and the people of Oceania. I need to save my people, do you understand father, I can't do this without your approval father. Please allow me to help my people, to free the Sirens being caged, to free my mother. Please father". Siren pleaded after saying her long words.

"You don't need to take my permission before saving your people. You are one of the mer folks after all and you will forever remain as one. Your mother was trying to protect you from danger, now I understand what she was preventing. Siren you have my approval to go and save your Oceania". Old Paa told her.

Hugging him tightly. "Thank you father". Siren said and sat down beside him. Both staring at the Ocean in front of them.

"You said you where showed you had sisters? But how could that be possible, why would your mother saved only you and leave your sisters in Oceania?" Old paa asked.

"I was showed that I was born without a tail and my sisters where born with a tail which automatically makes me the first Princess". Siren responded to his question.

"Where you showed the faces of them?

"Yes, I know one but not the second. But before anything I need to think of a plan".

"Then while thinking let us go in. I am already freezing here. Evenly would be so happy to see you". Old paa said as he stood to his feet, Siren following suit. Together they made their way into the mansion.

Daniel drove to the residence of Old Paa the next day after he had the discussion with Juliet. He hardly gotten out of his car when Siren came out bouncing in a hot blue jumpsuit and light blue heels to match as she made her way towards him.

Hugging her to himself, he breathed in her scent as Siren melted in his arms.

"You've got me worried since Siren, I tried calling you several times but you wouldn't pick your calls neither did you return it. I thought I had offended you babe, If I had offended you without knowing please forgive me". Daniel said.

"Stop it Daniel, you didn't offend me. Something came up which I will tell you later but in the meantime come in my dad wants to see you".

Oceania:

"What has been keeping Jencita away for a long time. I thought you said your daughter was smart what then is delaying her from bringing a mere human girl. We are all running out of patience you know". The senior of the evil Sirens bellowed in anger.

"I don't know also, I am as confused as you are. Don't worry I will contact Pola to know what is going on". Queen Luciana responded.

Joel's Residence:

"I tried calling you yesterday but you weren't picking up grandma". Sirene said as soon Alberta picked up on the third ringing.

"Salvador and us had a long discussion last night. We talked long into the night". Alberta explained her reasons to Sirene on why she didn't pick up her calls. "Oh and get ready, your daddy said he wants to take you out". Alberta added.

"Really? Then I have to start preparing right away". Sirene said enthusiasm.

"Okay, see you later in the day my dear one". Alberta said and ended the call.

Same also goes to Siren and Daniel who spent his day with the family. Old Paa confirming the story of the family feud he and Daniel mother had and didn't send Daniel out of his house. According to his voice 'Love should rule'.

Before heading home Daniel confessed to Siren that he wasn't blind and told her about his feelings from the moment he had set his eyes on her so in other to be closer to his love he pretended to be blind and have his aunty work under the PaaSiren company. After much begging Siren forgave him and they ended it by kissing.

Davies spent the whole day painting after receiving the call from his friend Joel.

He looked at the paintings in front of him and smiled to himself.

Somehow he knew he would see her soon. Something in him believe he will soon met her.

He quickly dialed Siren number to inform her about the outing.

*****

The D-day arrived and Siren and Davies were the first to arrived at the given place.

They had barely sat down when Joel and Sirene made their way towards them.

Davies eye sight were huge on seeing Sirene. He tapped Siren who was surprised when she saw the girl with Joel.

It was the girl who Davies has long been painting and also the girl whom her face was hidden.

This was one of her sisters. Her search looking for the blur face has come to end.

Her only problem is how to convince Jencita about how evil the woman- who is not her biological mother- is.

The Sea shell had showed her whatever it is she needs to know.

"Hello". Sirene and Joel greeted once they had reached the table. They quickly sat down and started discussing.

Davies and Sirene immediately clicked. They were so happy and Sirene was glad that Davies loves her after so many years.

"So you mean to say that Davies knows about mermaids?" Siren and Joel both asked at the same time.

"Yeah, we met when we where little". Sirene answered.

Joel was hurt by her words but he hid it well.

"Yeah I know, he told me the story of how you both met". Siren said and turned to face Davies. "You never showed me the pictures of you drawing her portrait in a Mermaid form. You only showed me the human with two feet". Siren said hurt a bit little.

"I thought you would believe me Siren. My father thinks I had gone nuts and so I don't want to you to also think I have gone nuts by saying the impossible". Davies explained.

"Don't worry Davies I understand and I have forgiven you". Siren said in smiles.

"Since everyone here knows about mer folks I need to say something". Sirene beginning.

She quickly explained to them her real reason for her been there and Siren also gave out her own secret.

The two sisters reunite and Siren quickly told them about Jencita.

"You mean that beautiful lady that almost looks like my Sirene?" Davies asked to be sure.

"Same lady. She is here to take me away not knowing we all are related.

. We are triplets. We have to find our way into her heart so that she would help us". Siren announced.

"So Luciana sent someone after you". Sirene mused to herself. "Any way I also got something to say. You won't believe what I just found".

"And what can that be sis?" Siren asked.

Sirene grabbing hold of both her hands in hers she announced brightly and excited.

"I found out our biological human father".

"What?"

"What?"

To what's rang out of The table in bewildered.

"Yes and that is not all. His mother was a Mermaid who has strong powers. Her magical pool healed me off my scars".

"Hmm, you have To take us to where they lives". Siren said.

They quickly paid for their food and left the eatery in a haste.

******

As soon as they got to the mansion, they were left awestruck at the beauty of it. Sirene had already informed Alberta about their coming.

The servants usher them inside the mansion.

The family welcomed them especially Siren and Alberta was happy on seeing Sirene other twin.

Without wasting time Sirene told Alberta, Glad and Salvador- who had quickly came back from work- about the current issue at ground.

"So this Jencita is the only one standing between us and Oceania?" Alberta asked. Nodding their heads in unison she continued, "Then we have to think of a plan".

Siren mind was on Daniel.

How would she explained to Daniel that she is a Mermaid, one of mer folks.

Would he believe her?

Would he still love her if he finds out about her being a Mermaid?

Seeing the joy and happiness Sirene was sharing with Davies she wished Daniel was there with her.
