example 1 Siren of the Sea
Chapter 1
The sun’s glow shimmered over the vast sea, creating the perfect light for a good nap. I was sprawled out on a huge soft coral, finding comforts in the sun’s warm and colorful hue. My tail was stretched out just further than the soft coral. I was having quite a pleasant dream about riding the large seahorses from the Caribbean sea. This pleasant dream soon became a nightmare as eels swam up to the seahorses from behind and grabbed at my arms. The seahorses were startled by the eels and threw me off in attempt of escaping. I was falling as the eels dragged me deeper and deeper and “THUD!”
I hit the ground hard and woke up to see my little sister Sephora had yanked me off the coral and onto the shallow rocky bottom of the bay. “Ouch! Why did you do that, Sephora!” I yelped, giving her the evil look she deserved. I swam up and brushed off my tail. All the while Sephora laughed at my fall. Sephora grabbed my hand and tried to pull my stubborn self along. She focused all her might on getting me move so I decided to let her struggle; after all she deserved it. She grunted out, “Come on you big lug I can’t drag your lazy butt all the way to the palace!” She began to grit her teeth and returned me the evil glance. “Why are we going to the palace?” I said in a very tired (and annoyed may I add) voice. “You got to go see the new arrivals. I already swam up there when I heard the conch shell sound the arrival tunes. I saw a family and the king apparently knows them from the Northern seas, and wants everyone there to meet the new family.
The rest of the trip they were silent which was unnerving since they had to travel a while to get to the deepest part of the ocean, where the palace lay. When they finally reached the king’s castle, there was a large group of guys huddled around something or someone. I heard them call a girls name over and over and over again.”Sirena” (it was for sure a someone and a girl!)all of the young men screamed trying to get her attention. I swam up,around, and below, to get sight of the crowded girl.
When I finally saw her I was astonished by her beauty. Her tail was red and slowly transitioned to a light shade of black. Her hair was long and flowed down her back in waves, slightly covering her jet black bikini top. Sirena was a brunette, but the ends of her hair glowed red with bright shimmering gold highlights. Edgy, was the word to describe her with a stray lock of hair covering her eye. Oh her eyes! Her eyes lit up on her face so vibrant and beautiful as she batted her long lashes. I looked down at my sensible tank top and blue and and green tail. I knew she was way out of my league.
My gaze kept drifting to her expensive bangles and earrings, and I started to leave pulling Sephora arm but she wouldn’t budge. She was frozen in her spot I tried to get her to move by lightly tugging on her shirt. She was such a sister being all bratty and trying to ruin her only brother’s life (my life). I thought she was doing this for the pure enjoyment of it till i followed her gaze, Sephora was staring at Sirena younger brother. Now I was about to lose his temper because she wouldn’t move, but before I could move her a miracle happened.

Time Chaser
Prologue
“Stop!” screeched Jessie from the top of her lungs, her brother was running down the spiral stair case with the keys to her Four-wheeler. It was a gift, she got it after she received straight A’s for the whole year. 8th grade was easy for Jessie, what she was worried about most was transitioning to high school. She wouldn’t know anyone! Normally it would be most of the people from your previous school plus a few from the others, but Jessie was moving to another state. From California to North Carolina, in California Jessie her brother and father lived in the wine vineyards were they sold their wine, until the business went south. They came to North Carolina to allow their father to pursue a job in the company Make Your Space. The company took space and let artist and wood workers rent out space with tools needed for their expertise. Fortunately her dad had enough money for them to stay in an apartment till Make Your Space took off. Filled with all these thoughts Jessie almost forgot about her brother Charlie hurtling down the long stair case. By now he had already ran down a few floors. Jessie found the elevator near the edge of the room and quickly rushed to catch her brother.
Chapter 1
Jessie dramatically pressed the elevator button over and over again till the door finally opened. Panting from running to the elevator Jessie pressed the button to go to the base level, and fell to the floor from exhaustion. She knew her brother was headed to the garages that you can rent at the apartments. When her father moved in he rented one of the garage spaces to house her four-wheeler and his car. After catching her breath, Jessie realized she wasn’t alone there was a young man that looked a little older than her. She tried to get up and stop panting because she realized she probably looked like a fool. That was until she saw he looked even more ridiculous. He had clothes that looked like they were from those futuristic movies that her mother and her loved to watch, before her mother died from cancer earlier in the year. The man had dark brown hair and blue eyes, he looked to be about half a foot or so taller than her. Jessie decided that he was a shady character and she should leave as quickly as possible. When the door finally opened she tried to run out of the elevator, but before she could escape from the elevator the man grabbed her arm and pulled her back in. So she could not scream for help he closed the elevator door and they started heading to a floor Jessie hadn’t explored yet. The promised to let her go if she would listen to what had to say before she screamed. Jessie agreed knowing that it was impossible to hear her through the elevator’s thick walls. “Jessie-“. “How do you know my name?!” She interrupted. “Are you some kind of stalker?!” She was screaming at him now and trying to yank her arm away from his strong grasp. “Let me explain before you jump to conclusions. “I am working for the TTA and they told me about you so I could find you and show you your true calling. “You don’t have the right to be looking into my personal life, and what the heck is the ‘TTA’ as you call it, whatever it is.” Jessie was shouting so loud she wouldn’t be fazed if the whole world could hear her. The man’s face grew long and filled with sorrow. “Your mother died working for us. She was the best agent I have ever worked with and I hope you can be just as good as her. “No you are lying my mom died of cancer, and you still haven’t answered me, what is the TTA” She said struggling against the man’s grip, she was about to break down. This man had no right to talk about her mom like this, especially claiming she died working for some unknown place, when she saw her die in the hospital. The man was almost out of breath from her constant kicking so he quickly let out a phrase that haunted her every night since, and she knew this changed her life.
