(Erica standing in the midst of the people who were watching the live broadcast)
" It's starting, a war between humans and the sirens; I have to get rid Of Olga before this gets out of hand" Erica thought to herself.
The phone on her hand rang freaking her out
" Damn it, this scary thing" she cursed the phone Oma had forcefully given to her to know her whereabouts.
" Where are you?" Oma asked
" Some strange place" she answered
" You are not going to attack Mr. Hansel about the news, right?" Oma asked
" No" she responded
" What about Lava, you are not stalking him for not trying to contact you after finding out about kelvin right?" Oma asked
" No, am not crazy" Erica said
" You are not avoiding Linda, right?" Oma asked
" No, can you stop asking me those weird questions please?" Erica said
" Okay, I will stop" Oma said " I am just trying to make sure you are okay; a lot have been going on lately, it's almost unsafe for you here" Oma told her
" I know, Lava's dad made everything worse now; it's almost like telling us that he is ready for whatever fight we throw at him and the people are going to side with him no matter what happens" Erica told her
" Come on Erica, he wasn't referring to you; we all know that he was referring to Mr. Charles and his clowns" Oma told her
" But still, Olga won't back out without a fight; sea witches are not to be messed with, she is a demigod of the sea" Erica told her
" Well, I don't see anyone better and stronger here than you" Oma said with a smile
"Stop teasing me" Erica said
" Am been real" Oma told her
" Okay...." Erica was interrupted when some random guy bumped into her from her back
"Sorry" the guy apologized without looking at her
" Son of a bitch" Erica retaliated
" Did you just curse at someone?" Oma asked
" It's just some random..." Erica paused for a while when she had felt something "He is not from here" she quickly said looking up to know if she would see the stranger
" What's that Erica? You are scarring me" Oma said
" I think there might be more than the two of my kind here in the city" Erica said.

Mr. Hansel entered the underground laboratory having his nose mask on him, he has moved everything he owns to the new underground lab to continue his research. There were new scientists who would now be joining the remaining old scientist to continue their work but this time; Imelda was made the Chief researcher who would be assisting the scientists on the experiment.
"Can I see the creature?" Mr. Hansel asked Imelda
" Over here, Sir" Imelda responded as he led him inside the research ward
" Her body remains undecayed" Imelda said uncovering the lifeless body
" She is the mother of the Erica?" Mr. Hansel asked
" That's what I heard Sir, she must be from a strong bloodline seeing how powerful her dead body is" Imelda responded
" If we can discover how her body was able to remain undecayed; it would help us create medicines for chronic diseases and other type of diseases" Mr. Hansel said in happiness
" Exactly what I thought sir, other countries will want to partner with you" Imelda told him
" This is good news; I want you all in action for this experiment" he told her
" Yes sir, I will make sure the experiments are done faster" Imelda promised
" And also, keep an eye on Erica so that she won't suspect anything" Mr. Hansel told her
" Yes sir" Imelda responded
" Someone will be keeping an eye on Lava; he will make sure Lava stays away from her too" Mr. Hansel said.

4pm...
A black van arrives at one of Mr. Hansel's shipyards, two men got out of the van and headed to the security men outside the shipyard
"Hey! who are you?" one of the security guards standing and smoking outside asked
"We are here to buy a boat " one of the men answered
"No boat is available for sales this season" another security guard responded
"That's sad, we wanted five boats" the second man responded opening the briefcase on his hand that contains a lot of cash in it.
The three security men starred at each other still having their guns with them
"We can talk to our manager here and see what he can do" one of the security guards told them
"That would be nice, my boss couldn't think of any other shipyard than yours" the other man said with a grin.
"Come with me" the soldiers say as they leads the way heading into a nearby office at the shipyard, once they are gone; Olga comes out from the black van having a smirk on her face.
"Let's spill some blood for the city" she says licking her hand.

Amanda quickly called in the Mer-nurses to treat Princess Adunni's injury. Their journey had lasted for three days without them knowing if they could make it or not, luckily for them; the two of them were able to fight the sea monsters ambushing the Riverians till every last one of them is gone from the Riveria boundary.
Princess Adunni had lost a lot of blood from the fight between the sea monsters, she could barely stand on her own tail.
"Where is my mother?" Princess Adunni asked weakly
"I am sure she will come by when she hears about your arrival" Amanda said to her
"The Queen won't be coming" one of the Mer-nurses responded
"And why is that?" Amanda asked in curiosity
"Few minutes after your arrival, the Queen asked us to look after you while she goes for the funeral ceremony of the king of Marco; a message came from Marco demanding her presence immediately" The other Mer-nurse responded
"What!" Princess Adunni shouted slightly opening her eye
"The Queen asked us to give this to you after your treatment" The other Mer- nurse said giving her a message stone from the Queen.
Princess Adunni looked at the symbols carved on the stones with her eye sparkling fire
"She has gone to cause a fight in my name" Princess Adunni angrily said
"What do you mean?" Amanda asked her
"I should have seen this coming; she would use the sea monsters ambush on me as a leverage that Prince Obi attacked the heiress of Riveria; she wanted the sea monster to attack me so that she can use it against Marco" Princess Adunni said.
(Back at the shipyard)
What's that noise?" one of the security men asked trying to look out of the window
"Maybe it's the boats engine" one of the men responded
"No, it isn't, it sounded like someone screaming" the second security guard said while opening the window
"What the hell?" he said in shock as the ships and boats were painted in bloods and dead bodies lay on the ground. Before he could turn backwards, he was shot dead by the two men who also murdered the remaining two soldiers and the manager.
"Let's get out of here" one of the men said to the other.
Olga licked the blood on her hand as the scales on her body caved back into her skin
"Come out where ever you are Erica...or else there will be more blood" she said
