Gemma is a little girl who loves to swim.

Monday, May 27, 13

Gemma’s older sister, Harper, always worried too

much about Gemma.

Monday, May 27, 13

Every night, Gemma goes night swimming. She loves

night swimming.

Monday, May 27, 13

There was a boy named Alex. He lived beside

Gemma.

Monday, May 27, 13

Gemma grew to fall in love with Alex.

Monday, May 27, 13

One day, four girls appear in town, and nobody knows

who they are.

Monday, May 27, 13

The four girls were beautiful, and they had

voices that no man could resist.

Monday, May 27, 13

Since the four girls got into town, weird things have

been happening.

Monday, May 27, 13

One day, Gemma, Harper, and Alex went to a fair.

Monday, May 27, 13

That night, Alex’s best friend goes missing. Before he went missing he was last

seen with one of the girls

Monday, May 27, 13

The next day, the four girls showed up at where Gemma was night

swimming.

Monday, May 27, 13

Somehow they convinced her to party, and made her drink this special liquid.

Monday, May 27, 13

Gemma woke up the next day not remembering

anything from the night before.

Monday, May 27, 13

Gemma wanted to clear her head, so she went to the

pool to swim.

Monday, May 27, 13

Something weird happened at the pool. She knew it was

the work of the four girls.

Monday, May 27, 13

Gemma went to the beach to find the four girls, and there they were, laying on

the beach.

Monday, May 27, 13

She demanded to know what happened to her last

night.

Monday, May 27, 13

Penn, the leader of the group, explained that

Gemma had turned into a siren!

Monday, May 27, 13

“Long ago, there was a witch that was jealous of us.

So she made a curse and cast it on us. We live forever, and whenever we touch the

sea, we will turn into mermaids. However, no man can ever fall in love with us” Penn explained.

Monday, May 27, 13

This was everything Gemma ever wanted. To be beautiful, and swim all day.

This didn't seem like a curse, it seemed like a

miracle.

Monday, May 27, 13

“You have to choose, either to come with us, or you and

your loved ones will die” Penn said

Monday, May 27, 13

Was Gemma ready to leave her sister Harper, and the

boy she loved?

Monday, May 27, 13

She asked for time to think about it, but deep down she

knew the answer.

Monday, May 27, 13

She has to sacrifice herself to save the ones she loves.Gemma went home, and

said her goodbyes.

Monday, May 27, 13

She swam away with the sirens, never looking back. Gemma knew if she ever

went back, Penn would kill her loved ones.

Monday, May 27, 13

And the singing of the mermaids we hear now, is Gemma crying to show her love for Harper and Alex.
