     I always did believe in fairy tales. But I never knew when that time would come that I'd find out that I am something like a fairy, god, mermaid, or something like that. But anyways I grew up on my fathers crew ship. He is a pirate and his name is Josh. I never did call him father just because he never acts like one. I hated how he called me the next Capitan on our pirate ship. 
     "JOSH! I will not be the capitan!" I said to him throwing the papers on the ground.
     "MORGAN!!!" he yelled really loud looking into my bright blue eyes with anger. He grabbed my long wavy brown hair and yanked it. I always hated that he would hurt me when he was mad at me. Like I would change my mind if he hurt me! 
     "Ugh. Morgan please listen! You know your mother would want it to be this way!" Josh said looking sad and annoyed. 
     "No Josh you LISTEN! Mother would not want this! Plus I would be the first girl captain. Mom gave me this crystal necklace and told me to take care of it and never stop believing in fairy tales! And I'll follow her! Plus I'm only 16. And tomarrow will be my 17th birthday." I said walking towards him holding the crystal. 
     "Morgan! Please!" Josh said holding up the papers to be captain. I grabbed them then walked towards the door. 
     "I'll think about it...Father!" I said then walked out the door. I looked at the papers all night then changed into my P.J's and lied in my bed for about 10 minutes until...
     " MORGAN! Morgan it's your father!" a crew member said looking really concerned and worried. I jumped out of my bed and ran to his room.
     "Father!!!What's wrong?" I said feeling a tear about to roll down my cheek. 
     "Dear Morgan...please be captain!" my father said then lied there on the bed and took his last breath.
     "Y-yes I will...father!" I said laying right next to my father then fell asleep crying. Many thoughts have filled my head, and then when the papers popped in my head I ran in to my room and took them out. I grabbed a pen and started to sign it to be Capitan Morgan. I stood by the weel and help up the papers then yelled.
     "I AM CAPTAIN MORGAN! DAUGHTER OF CAPTAIN JOSH! I am now your CAPTAIN!!!" I said then put the papers in my pocket. 
     5 months past and me being captain has been pretty well. But when a new crew member came aboard I new something bad was about to happen. He always told me he would be captain of the crew soon. But I never expected what would happen to me. It happend the night that I was feeling pressured and I went to the deck and looked at the water.  
     "Ah. What's beautiful night." I said leaning over looking at the water sparkling from the moon and the stars. 
     "Hope you had a good 18 years of life!" the new crew member said right next to me, then he pushed me over deck! I didn't have time to scream or shout for help, and it all happend so fast. And the water was so cold. But what happend next was so unexpected! The water felt like needles stabbing me all over my body. And I couldn't breathe, scream, or feel anything! I began to run out of air and began to faint. I looked to my right at a figure of a teenage boy around my age swimming towards me. Then everything went black. 
     Once I passed out I started to dream that I was at home in my old house by the beach, at age 9 with my mom and dad. 
     "Morgan, dear please clean the dishes!" Mother said standing up from her seat to put her plate in the sink. 
     "Yes mother." I said walking to the sink. I always wondered why mother and father would sail on the sea for years. But I loved it just as much as them. It's strange though how they met. 
     "Mother. Can you tell me how you and Father met?" I said putting the last plate away. 
     "Yes my dear daughter!" my mother said sitting at the table.
     "I was a poor young lady working at my fathers store, and your father came in with his father and his crew ordering my brother and father to gather things for them. But that's when your father looked deeply into my eyes and we fell in love!" my mother said looking at father again. 
     "And your mother fell in love with the sea to! Just like she did with me! And we love you dearly!" my father said leaning against my mother. 
     The dream ended so fast and I woke up on the side of the water of the ocean laying on sand. I looked up and saw that one as on a small island. It was dark out and there was a fire. I scooted closer to in because I was still very cold. 
     "You ok?" a strange voice came from the water. I looked at it and saw that it was a merman. 
     "Uh...yeah." I said looking at him strangely. That's when I realized that the fairy tales are all real! 
     "Oh I can turn to human. Us Sirens can turn to humans! As a siren we have bright blue eyes, white or blonde hair, a blue crystal necklace. And as human we have brown or black hair. And you miss are a very beautiful human!" he said turning into a human and walking towards me. He looked at my necklace and put it gently in his hand. I look at his and ours looked identical. 
     "So your saying that I am a...SUREN!?" I said looking at him. He nodded then put a blanket around me.
     "My name is Destan. I'm a Siren. And I'm 18 years old." he said then sat next to me. 
     "I'm Capitan Morgan of my father pirate ship. I guess I'm a Siren to. And I'm 18 to." I said looking at the flames of the fire.
     "Cool. Well I'm also prince Destan of Sirenvill or Mermaidia. Son of King Ewdward." Destan said looking at the fire also. I wrapped the blanket tightly around me to warm up a little. 
     "Well. I have a question Prince Destan." I said looking at Destan. 
     "Yes Captain Morgan?" he said looking at me with a cute smile. 
     "Were you the one that saved me?" I said remembering what happend on the ship. 
     "Yes! It was me." He said with an even cuter smile. 
     "How did you find me so quick?" 
     "Well ever since you were 15 I have always followed your ship. I loved to see your beautiful face in the moonlight. And my kingdom is big. So where ever you guys went you were either near or on top of my kingdom." Destan said looking at the water. 
     "Oh well...um. Thanks!" I said looking at the water to. 
     "Would you mind to show me your would with me?" I asked looking at him again. 
      "Yes, I would love to captain!" he said smiling at the water. 
      "You should get some rest! It seems like you've had a rough night." he said laying down looking at the stars. 
      "Ok. Thanks again Destan!" I said then closed my eyes. And that's when the dream came again.
     Mother and father walked me to my bedroom and tucked me in, then mother read to me a fairy tale story about a Siren. 
     "Mother, what is a Siren?" I asked with my eyes closed. 
     "They are something like a mermaid in water. They have a mermaid tale and they can breathe under water. They have beautiful blue eyes like you, a blue crystal necklace, and blonde or white hair. They can also turn into a human. Usually with brown or black hair. And they have beautiful singing voices. They are wonderful creatures! Well that's it for tonight princess. Good night." mother said then left the room. I heard crashes and shattering glass. I got up and looked in the living room where I saw demoins. They hurt my mom and she could barely move. 
     "Dear Morgan! Always believe in fairy tales! Be kind, and have courage!" she said then closed her eyes and took her last breath. 
     "No! No! Tell me we can save this! Where's my happy ending? Mother no!" I said then hugged her and herd the door open. It was father. 
      I woke up almost in the water but covers in sand. Destan has already put out the fire and packed up, then was already in the mermaid type. I ran to the water and rubbed my necklace which got me a tale and the top part was beautiful and misty has crystals. 
      "Hey, Destan?" I said looking around the water with memories still filling my head. 
      "Yes?" he said stopping then looking at me. 
      "Will you mind helping me get my ship back?" I asked wondering what was happening to my crew. 
       "I would love to help you Morgan." he said with that cute smile again. We got to his kingdom and I stared in awe. It was beautiful! He showed me some of his friends and that's when I saw Belle. My best friend that I thought was an imaginary mermaid friend. But she was actually real.
      "BELLE!!!" I said swimming to her. She yelled my name then gave me a hug. I loved this world but I promised my father to being a good captain. I bet that half my crew is hurt or...dead. 
      The next morning me and Destan rounded up some friends to help out to help get my crew back. We swam all The way across the ocean and found my ship. I told him that I was a little scared and frightened to fight the guy that stole my ship.  
      "It's alright Morgan! Just stay near me!" he said then grabbed my waist and pulled me closer to him while a rope was pulling us out of the water. We quickly turned into humans and ran to the side of my ship and waited for the guy to get off the boat. 
      "WHATEVER! YOU GET PUSHED OFF DECK WHEN WE SET SALE! Now I'll be right back with a magic flower!" he said then jumped off the side of the ship. Me and Destan hurried and got up on the ship. Everyone seemed alright but starved. 
      "You all alright?" I asked shouting loud so my whole crew could hear me. 
      "No! Plus you best friend Kenny got pushed off deck with chains and a weight ball. And we have been beaten if we do something wrong. One bad move and we are dead!" he said then looked a little fusterated. 
      "Well I'm back to take my ship back! You all will be saved!" I said looking to my right seeing this spark of light. It came closer to me then let the light go away and saw that It was my mom as an angel.
      "Your father is proud of you Morgan. And why I came is to give you this magical sword. I love you my dear Morgan!" she said then dispersed and left the sword and belt on the ground. I put the belt on then the sword. 
      "Everyone hide and get ready to attack him!" I yelled ordering the sirens and my crew while I was standing in the middle of the boat. Then I heard his footsteps coming up the ship.
      "I command you to leave my ship!" I said really frustrated.
      "How? When? How did you survive? You don't even know how to swim."
To me continued...
