hidden in the grass

Siren had to leave her favorite island. She had to leave behind her favorite little deer and the new fawns they’d just dropped. She had to leave the safety of her haven because it was safe no more. The young princess would make her return eventually, she couldn’t stay away from Chimera forever. He told her that she was his and there wasn’t any escaping that. The wound on her leg proved that much.

The fire that laced up her legs when she’d jumped into the ocean to return to the mainland nearly made her drown. When she eventually made it to the shore she limped heavily. A reminder of what could happen if she tried anything. Siren was terrified of Chimera, but at the same time the little princess wanted to help him. She wanted to see to his stings like she had that day after he got mad at Venom. She wanted to use her dreams to help him avoid moments like he’d experienced then. She wanted to be praised by him.

Right now she didn’t want to be near him. He’d let her go after she’d screamed and he’d ripped open her leg. She wouldn’t have dreamed of telling anyone, so as the pain started to become too great for quick movements the tiny princess curled herself underneath the white trunk of a fallen log. As well as she hid herself she hid her tears as her long tail curled around her injured leg and hid her pink nose.
