Chapter Sixty Four

Yara's Pov

I was in my last month of pregnancy and the baby will soon come. I intended to love my child with all my life.

I didn't want to keep her here in the water and so I wanted to find a way to leave with the baby because I was sure that Maithusa was not going to stop searching for us until he had me where he wanted.

And even though Erick did what he did, I still didn't think Maithusa was any better.

The humiliations my papa and mama were going through were all because of me and I was willing to go with Maithusa just so my parents could have their peace, but my mama had stopped me from doing that.

She still protected me even when I had disgraced her. My bump was now very visible and most times I felt some Toby movements around it.

And anytime it happened I wished Erick had been around to see it happen. Isla was there and so we shared such moments.

Isla and I were talking when my father came. The moment I saw him, I could not stop myself and so I rushed to him and gave him a hug and he hugged me back.

"Papa I am so sorry for what I have done"

"It's okay Yara... I love you still. Your mother had stopped talking to me just so I could come and see you"

"I am sorry papa"

"It is okay, my child. I can't wait to meet my grandchild"

"I can't wait too, papa"

Isla came over and greeted papa and he responded.

"Thank you for being by her side during this time"

"Yara is my sister and I'm glad I am here with her"

And then I felt a very hard contraction on my waist. And after I went into labor, I had the most beautiful baby girl I had ever seen.

Her eyes were like her father's and her hair was just like mine. The best gift Erick had given me, too bad he was not here to witness her birth.

Papa carried her and he looked so happy.

"Kiani.... that is what she would be called"


"Kiani" chorused I and isla.

"Take care of the child while I go home to inform your mama about the birth of the child"

I still felt weak and so Isla gave me a portion and I slept off.

I woke up to see mama carrying the baby as she sang beautifully.

Papa and mama spent some time with us before they went home. I could not stop admiring my little baby Kiani.

I wanted the best life for her and I wanted her to be human just like her father.
I wanted to try again to see if I'd see any trace of Erick. I carried the baby and swam to the shore of the water and waited.

I did this for two days but I didn't see any trace of him. I went home each day feeling hurt.

One day, on my way back to the tent, Isla met me to inform me that my parents had been killed and I was in danger.


End of Throwback


Arya's Pov


Then I felt like someone had been in my body. I felt like myself again.

I was confused why Isla showed me all that. I was yet to understand how this was linked to me.

"Who were those people?"

The woman suffered a lot for a man she thought loved her.

And she chuckled in a creepy way. I was actually curious to know what happened to Yara

"So what happened to Yara and her baby"

"Maithusa killed Yara just like her parents had feared"

"And kiani?"

"She had grown into a beautiful young human girl. You are Kiani"

"How?"

"After your mother found out about her parent's death, she sacrificed her tongue and voice just for you to become human and when Maithusa found her he killed her because he had no use for her anymore. She was now ugly to him"



"And what about my father?"

"You will know him when you meet him"

"So how am I Kiani?"

"I took you from your mother and brought you to land. Then took you to the orphanage"



"And what did you lose to become human?"

"My eyes.. and even up till now Maithusa is restless."


"He wants you dead. He is behind your friend's death"


I was dumbfounded. My life was shown to me in a flash and I was scared at all I knew now.

"You are a siren and a very rare specie. The siren hunters will be able to spot you easily now you know your origin"

I became weak and my legs began to shake. Mar was the first person who came to my mind. I had to think of what next I had to do.

Isla had said that I would be easily spotted by any hunter if they came in contact with me.

"What do I do now?" I said to myself.

I had already spent a lot of time here and Jade might come in to find me. I had to leave here.

I quietly snuck out of the house, luckily for me, Jade had his attention on his phone and so I took them back and escaped:

I hurried down to the bus station and took a bus back to Salamanca. I don't want to go back to the orphanage. Mar knew about it already.

Jean came to my mind. I brought my phone out of my bag and dialed her number.

"Hey Jean"

"Hey, Arya. it's been ages."

"Yeah, can I come over to your place?"

"Yes you can.. are you okay?" She asked

"I'll explain everything to you when I get there"


I still had some money on me and I quickly got on the train and went over to meet Jean.

Fate had played a fast one on me. The only man I had come to love dearly was against my kind.

My phone kept ringing but I didn't pick up. I even got calls from Mera. I could not talk to any of them, for all I know they might want to kill me.


My mother I had been angry at had been through a lot and she was no more. I cried knowing that I would never meet a strong woman such as her. She had given up her life to save me.


Isla had been the reason I was here: she had sacrificed her eyes just to keep me safe. Mar had kept me safe all these while and if he finds out I am a siren he might hurt me. They had all tried to protect me and now I owed myself protection. And staying away from Mar was going to be the best.

It hurt that I was going to stay far away from him for reasons I had no control over. My eyes were red and bulging from all the tears I cried.

The moment Jean saw me she rushed over to me and gave me a hug. I knew she didn't know about Laurie and so I broke the news to her.

"Laurie is dead" and I saw the shock on her face and she pulled me into her embrace even more.

That was enough to draw her attention away from the real problem.

"I'm so sorry you had to go through all of that alone"

"It is okay"

And then she took me inside. She prepared a hot bath for me and I took my bath. I was not hungry and so I lay down. It was impossible for me to sleep.

I could not stop thinking of what a mess my life was right now.

I had lost the only man who would take a bullet for me because of the evil my kind had done to him.
