How Scarlett Main Became Luck
Scarlett dived into the water. It was crisp and cool, but not cold. She was an eleven-year-old girl visiting Saint Thomas Island for her birthday. She smiled at herself after emerging the water. The beach was empty but beautiful. Her mother was about to make a stop at the more crowded one, but a local named Mira who was also swimming pointed out the more private one.
She plunged under the waves and spotted a giant school of fish and a sea turtle. Wow! Mira really knows her beaches! she proclaimed. Then, Scarlett spotted something. A great beam of light filtered the ocean water a few feet in front of her. It was brighter than a flashlight or a star or even the sun. It burned her blue eyes. All thoughts panicked her, making her want to stroke as fast as she could back to shore. She started forward, sprinting to stay alive from the unknown source of light. "No you don't," stated a sweet voice.
Where is this person? " I'm here. And you don't want to leave. You want to be my guest. Come with me,"
Something in her voice explained what the beam was. It was to attract Scarlett's attention. Otherwise, she would never meet this beautiful mermaid. Wait, mermaid?
"Your coming with me, sweetie."
Scarlett always saw things for how they are. She knew mermaids weren't the pretty cartoony women with tails. They were vicious monsters. No. I am not coming with you! I am not your sweetie. I may be the first person to realize this, I may be the last. But I know I am not your sweetie. I am your victim. Scarlett thought.
"Fine. But I am not a mermaid at all. In fact, mermaids exist. Ones that are not vicious monsters. But I am not a mermaid. I am a siren." the voice said.
Siren echoed in Scarlett's head. She had not seen the siren yet, though. I am not waiting for her to take me. I am leaving.
"NOOOOO!" the voice said.
And strangely, Scarlett understood. Once someone didn't fall for the siren's trap, they got a wish. "I wish...for more wishes!" Scarlett exclaimed.
"How many?" a bored voice asked.
"Nevermind actually. I wish that I could make things happen when I wanted them to." Scarlett said.
And Scarlett became luck because of the sea siren. She made herself visit everyone's life, and gives luck to those in need, occasionally.
Also, I know this is really weird, I just kinda threw something in there.
