<h4>Chapter 714: SUNKEN PRINCESS</h4>


    "I’m sorry Scarlett." Coral apologized to me her eyes teary as the little boat began to sail into the big blue sea. "I didn’t mean to push you. I was just ying."


    I swallowed wondering if she meant it for real.


    She had done it before.


    Apologizing and still being bitter towards me.


    And then she held my small hands. "You’re my twin sister. I don’t think anything shoulde in between us. Please."


    My heart melted almost instantly.


    She threw her hands around me and hugged me while I absorbed the warmth.


    "It’s okay Coral. I forgive you." I said as I rubbed her back.


    She smiled at me once she let go.


    Nanny Rachel sat watching us like a hawk looking at chicks for dinner.


    "Your majesties." She said. "I do hope you have no intentions on doing anything naughty."


    I shook my head.


    She didn’t seem convinced. Not in the least. The monthly fishing expeditions we hade to learn were us getting ustomed to the Sea and its inhabitants.


    The Sirens.


    We began watching after the little fishes in the sea as we began to draw into the river.


    Lucas steered and Rachel warned us to stay put.


    I liked Rachel, very much.


    And I knew how exhausting we were to her sometimes.


    "Stay away from the edge Princess Coral!" Rachel warned.


    Coral rolled her eyes when Rachel couldn’t see her.


    "She is such a party pooper." Coral said mischievously.


    I chuckled.


    A few minutester, Coral whispered to my ears. "Comee look!"


    Before I could stop her, she was at the bow of the boat leaning.


    To prevent her from hurting herself I hurried after.


    Rachel was discussing with Lucas and didn’t notice.


    "Coral we aren’t supposed to be here." I said as I pulled her arm.


    "But Scarlet look at that." Coral said in awe.


    I was already here wasn’t I?


    I looked down at the river.


    But I couldn’t see anything.


    "I can’t see anything." I said.


    "Look closer!" Coral insisted.


    I looked down a bit more and tried to see what she was talking about.


    I still couldn’t find anything.


    I was about to raise my head when my eyes caught something a bit into the distance.


    A small head inside the water with blue skin and white hair.


    It was a female siren and she seemed around my age.


    We had seen sirens but they mostly liked to keep to themselves.


    I doubted Coral had seen her.


    I smiled at her and she smiled back waving at me.


    "Yes Coral I just-


    And then I felt a gash at the back of my head and everything went dark.

    MARINA’S POV


    It was that time of the month when the twin princesses woulde to the river on their usual finishing expedition.


    About four months ago I had been ying around the surface with a friend of mine when I had seen the two of them.


    Since then, they had fascinated me.


    They were always present on the exact same day.


    And today had been no different, except, one of the girls had seen me.


    The kind one and the one from all I had heard was the future Queen.


    We were in very close tied with the wolves, but I still wasn’t allowed to simply go out to shore.


    If my mother ever knew, I was going to be in trouble.


    "Scarlett!" I heard the other sister call out and I watched the both of them head towards the edge of the boat.


    It was fascinating looking at them.


    How I wished we became friends.


    And then Scarlett saw me.


    When she did, she paused and so did I.


    I was about to run back in and hide.


    But then I saw a genuine smile spring across her face and I rxed.


    I slowly raised my head back up and waved at her.


    And then to my horror, I saw her sister carrying arge rock behind her and before I could stop the horror, she had smashes the back of Scarlett’s head with it.


    Scarlett gasped and fell over into the water.


    Instantly I jumped in, thankfully, it didn’t seem like she had seen me.


    With my perfect tail, I was at the edge of the boat in a matter of seconds.


    I grabbed Scarlett in my arms.


    The red ink emitting from her head, floated in the water.


    She wasn’t conscious.


    At that moment I heard screams and shouting.


    "Rachel Scarlet fell!" The wicked twin cried.


    "What?! OH MY GOD!" The nanny screamed.


    "Scarlett!" A male voice said.


    I considered taking her back up to them, but I knew that if they saw the cash behind her head, they would think I had attacked her.


    Not just that, if her own identical twin can carry a rock and smash her sister’s head then only the gods knew what she would do if she survived.


    She wasn’t safe.


    "Stay with Coral" A male voice said.


    I heard a ssh in the water and with her in my arms, I hurriedly swam away.


    What I didn’t know, was that a fragment of the jewel in her ne had broken and fallen into the water.


    I swam away at the fastest my tail and fins could take me.


    As a siren my tail swam almost as fast as lighting.


    But I was still growing so I didn’t get to that point.


    But I swam fast regardless.


    I couldn’t take her back home to the sea, they would return her back to her home where I knew was going to be dangerous.


    So I swam away and in a matter of minutes, I was at the shores of a beach I didn’t know.


    I ced her against the beach sand and went over her trying to take out the water.


    But it didn’t seem to be enough.


    The gash at the back of her head seemed to have done so much damage.


    The blood was still rushing and she wasn’t healing.


    I began to panic wondering what to do.


    My mind racing.


    My breath beating extremely fast.


    And then she stopped breathing.


    I ced my head against her chest and I found out she was dead.
