Siren Charms: Chapter 11
Zoro x Siren!Reader
Warnings: blood, eating people
Raining Mermaids and Flying Fish
As luck would have it, you weren't able to find anything within range of the ship. You returned with an empty stomach. It wasn't like you had to eat every single day. What was worrisome, was that you weren't sure how long you could hold out. Would there be a food source showing up any time soon?
Your worry only increased when you found out Sunny wasn't moving until they could figure out how to get to Fish-Man Island. You had heard of it, but never been there and didn't know how to get there. It had already been a few days. Some of your companions went in a little submarine to search. You could dive deeper than its range, though without a source of fuel, you didn't want to shift more than you had to, especially since you were starting to get hungry. For now, it was manageable.
You kept to yourself. This was a new situation for you. You had never had to restrain yourself from taking what you wanted. But the namegiver forbade it, so you were doing your best. Even though you stayed as far away from everyone else as possible, your heightened senses could still make out every heartbeat and every scent. It was easier at the moment, given that several crew were on the submarine. You had some relief from the barrage of hyperawareness.
The green one's scent was particularly overpowering. You thought you would have reprieve since he stayed in the crow's nest for the most part, but being inside did nothing to dampen it. You felt your teeth sharpen in your mouth. You were zoned out of reality, focused in on his pounding heart. The blood in his veins ran hotter and faster than anyone else's, a sure sign he was working out. Your claws raked against the wood you were sitting on impatiently, the wood beginning to splinter under your grip.
"Hey, E, are you okay?" Nami was concerned about you.
You shook yourself from your predatory state, blinking until your eyes went from yellow back to emerald and your pupils became round. You were careful not to show too much of your teeth when you spoke, "I'm fine."
"You sure?"
"I said I'm fine," your tone was much sharper than you intended for it to be. You just wanted her to move away from you. "Sorry."
Nami smiled apologetically and returned to what she had been doing. She was an astute woman and could tell what was going on.
The navigator and the sniper had spoken earlier with Luffy about their concerns with your diet, specifically what if you got so hungry you went on a rampage. They had gotten hints of your physical strength, and realized that you could do a lot of damage if you wanted to. Luffy assured them that you wouldn't do anything like that, but the first mate held a tighter grip on his katana at the threat. After all, Luffy could be too trusting.
The submarine returned soon, still no leads on Fish-Man Island. Your attention was grabbed by the presence of something speedily approaching, soon apparent that it was a Sea King when it breached the surface. You were already in an aggressive state, ready to leap into action, but Luffy beat you to it. He punched it so hard that it lost its lunch. Before you could see what it was, you smelled it. Mermaid.
You growled in your throat. Maybe you wouldn't have to wait so long to eat after all. That thing wasn't part of the crew. So it was fair game, right?
The mermaid fell onto Sanji, and it wasn't a second later that you had tackled her off of him and caged her against the deck, a hand on either side of her head. Her eyes were wide and wild as yours bored into them. Yours flicked to the pulsing thread running down her neck. Mermaids and Fish-men alike had a slightly salty flavor to them. If Luffy hadn't pulled you away, you would have sank your fangs into her and drained her dry.
"Whoa! She doesn't look like a threat, Ether. It's okay."
You backed off, slipping away as everyone else gathered around the whimpering creature. It was harder this time to shake the aggression off. Still growling, you climbed to the crow's nest, forcing your wings through the small hatch, losing some feathers in the process. Zoro was there working out, as always. He glanced in your direction without any greeting. You could tear him apart and leave, no one would interrupt. You could get away easily.
But you weren't going to do that. You paced back and forth in an agitated state, huffing and grumbling to yourself instead. Punctuating every grumble was a brusque flap of your wings.
"S'wrong with you?"
"What do you care?" You glared at him. You knew he didn't trust you. He probably just wanted you to leave. You sighed and mumbled, "Fuckin hate mermaids." You pointed to the hatch.
He pressed a towel to his face to mop the sweat up. "Mermaids, huh?" Zoro raised an eyebrow at you and left without another word.
You don't know how long you had been pacing when you heard explosions outside. Swiftly, you pulled yourself through the top hatch onto the roof. There was a flurry of explosions as the ship was defended, not a single one touching the vessel. Fish with men on their backs were zipping in the sky over the Sunny. They started flying away for some reason. Maybe they gave up? Why wasn't anyone going after them? You were crouched, looking back and forth between the crew and the figures that were getting smaller and smaller.
"Captain!" You made a flap of your outstretched wings. "Let me go! I'll get em'!"
Luffy thought for a moment, scratching his chin, and gave you a thumbs up. "Yeah! Good idea!"
Finally! I can eat!
You coiled yourself tightly and catapulted forward. With powerful downstrokes, you were propelled forward with wind whipping through your hair. The shapes before you were no loner getting smaller. You were rapidly approaching them, in fact. Saliva pooled in your mouth in anticipation of catching up.
Coming from his blind side, you rocketed into one of the men from the side, knocking him from the flying fish. Your teeth tore into the side of his neck and you buried your face in the hot crimson. You could feel it dripping down your neck as you ripped off some of the muscle and swallowed it whole. In this time, you plummeted toward the water. Taking one last big drink and ripping another piece of flesh, you dropped the man, beating your wings down hard to regain altitude.
Sometimes the chase was more fun than the kill. This was one of those times. You got to unleash your full speed in pursuit of the flying fish, something you hadn't done in some time. You could smell fear rolling off the other two as you trailed them again. It was only a matter of time before you caught up.

Commander Johnson, I-I think I found what or who been stealing our extra spare material supplies
Astronaut Jennifer said in the com as she stared, standing stiff as a board if it weren't for the gravity of Mars making it difficult.
What she was staring at couldn't be human but yet so close and eldritchic- alien like as the inner part of her mind was screaming danger danger, That Is Not A Human Being, Run RUN RUN,HIDENOWHIDENOWNOWNOW
It's look like a adult, a very slim and very tall adult if it weren't for the fact that his skin was tanned with a bit of splash of starlights all over, wearing a suit made of galaxies covered in red Mars rocks, his hair was white, whiter then the clouds on earth, ears pointy and curled a bit as if it wa to shield or reflect to what its was hearing(but they has moved back in a aggressive manner thar remind her of snuffles when threaten) and eyes glows so ominously Neon Green with black instead of white surrounding the iris, splatter of star like freckles that looks like he almost has two pupils mixing into a slits like in each of them.
Teeths razor sharp and thick, as the thing looks like it was growling at her with his body arch over, hands with extra digits of long blacken claws like nails dig into the dirt, hiding all the stuff that the alien had stolen along with a lil head of another mar baby, it weren't for the fact there was no sounds in space, she would've been screaming float running back to her headquarters base.
She was only patrolling the part of the base where they were trying to grow plants in one of the green houses they painstaking made on Mar, but then she saw the glow of unnatural green slipping out of the sealed tight glass.
Curiosity took the best of her as she put on her suit and went to check at that spot is where she find what seem to be a native Mar creature and its baby hoarding all the missing stuffs that they had lost in the base, along with the missing robot, opportunity as the top of it's hoard pile in a makeshift hole(it's a Nest and she has enter this creatures domains) near a small pool full of of oddly frozen water that glowed luminous.
It was a stand off between her and the creature not moving an inch until Jennifer's coms responded back as she flinched, her heart dropping snd face paling dramatically when the creature's ear flick a bit as it heard the static electric device.
"J-J-J-Jennifer, do you copy? I repeat, Do you copy?!?" Commander Johnson spoke a bit frantic.
Unawared of the danger he had put Jennifer in when she flinched, the creature lunged, Jennifer scrambling to turn around and hop/run back into the safety of the base as fast as she could.
Like inspiration for @tinycoded360
