"Stop!"

"Captain no! Stop!" Zayn yelled as he ran through the dense forrest, following the evident path  the Captain and crew had taken towards the centre of the jewelled island. He could see their footprints in the mud - he was ever so grateful.

Niall and Liam, who had heard the yelling stopped from their position near the entrance to where the supposed cup of eternal youth lay hidden, "Zayn?" Liam quizzed, talking mostly to himself.

Niall also perked up, "aren't you meant to be on the ship?"

The raven haired man merely panted, ignoring them as he power walked to the Captain, roughly grasping his arm and spinning him around, the girl sat still in his arms still, a fake face of fear present on her face.

"What the fuck Malik?" Harry growled, the raven haired man merely grasped the Captain's jaw, pulling him closer as he stared into his eyes.

They were completely black, glazed over by the sirens spell.

"She has our Captain under a spell! We are not following Harry's orders anymore but hers! Do not listen to him."

Everyone gasped as they pulled their swords from their sockets, now directing them at the mermaid in Harry's arm.

"Don't be stupid Zayn. She is innocen-" before Harry could finish his sentence the raven haired man was pulling the girl from his arms and roughly dragging her, and her useless legs, to the nearby lagoon, throwing her into the water.

It was tiny, not even two minutes wide and in length, she could merely lay there uselessly as her tail began to return.

"Show me your compass Ashton," Zayn growled as the boy quickly pulled out the solid gold pocket sized item. He revealed a mirror on the inside.

Grasping Taylor by her hair he pulled her up and made her stare into the mirror, within seconds her true form was revealed in her reflection.

A disgusting creature. Certainly not one of beauty.

"Look Harry, this is what she is!"

Harry did as asked, as did the rest of the crew, who were now even more convinced, the Captain, not so much.

"I see nothing but beauty! What are you Zayn? Going rogue? I will have you killed."

The raven haired man growled as he pulled out his dagger, a specific one he had taken from the treasure room. One made of pure bronze.

"Hold him down." Zayn growled to Niall and Liam who, although unsure, did as asked, holding their Captain's arms behind his back.

"This is for your own sake Cap'n...." Zayn mumbled as he pulled the man's sleeve up, slicing his arm until their was blood on the dagger.

Not a moment later he was back at the siren's side and pulling her onto the land as she transformed into her true form, hissing as she attempted to swing side to side using her tail.

However, all her attempts were ceased as Zayn, with the bronze dagger dipped in the blood of Harry was pushed through her cold heart.

Everyone gasped as she screeched, a noise almost deafening. 

"Fuuuuck!" Niall yelled, hand's on his ears. Liam copied him, but finally, as Zayn pushed the dagger even further, all noises ceased.

As finally the creatures eyes remained open, and she fell into one spot. 

Dead on the floor, in a pile of blue blood.

Not a second later Harry was groaning as he wobbled forward, falling to his knees, Zayn and Niall were quick to catch him.

"Wowww there Cap'n easy easy," Niall muttered, accent distinct.

"Niall? Zayn?" Harry mummered, eyes returning to their natural green, "fuck, what happened?"

Everyone locked eyes as they watched Harry's eyes meet with the dead siren on the floor, "holy shit...." He mumbled as he walked forward and stared at the ugly creature.

"She had you under her spell the last week and half, got to say - never been more glad to have the real you back." Liam muttered as he pat the Captain on the back.

"Where are we?"

"Jewelled island."

The Captain's eyes widened, "already?"

The crew nodded, Zayn finally spoke up once more, "come on Cap, think it is best we row back to the boat and then we can come back if you want. But for now you need to rest."

The curly haired Captain merely nodded, accepting Zayn's help as the man helped him to his feet, walking him back towards shore, he glanced at the creature he once saw as pretty with absolute disbelief.

Turning to the raven haired man he had only one thought on his mind, "is Louis okay?"

About that....
