The Hunter's Siren, A Jacob Holland x Reader Story
It was a nice weather for the Inevitable to venture out on the sea. The crew was somehow jolly and calm as they do their parts in the ship. You left your cabin in such a lovely morning weather and feeling the breeze then headed to where the Captain, Sarah, and Jacob stood.
"Morn'n Capt'n. Sharpe. Jacob. Lovely breeze today," you greeted.
"Aye." Jacob remarked looking at the sky.
Sarah Sharpe then commented, "Aye, lovely breeze for a lovely hunt."
You smirked at her comment as it sounded cool.
"Tell me, Y/N. Have you ever heard of the Siren Legend?" captain Crow asked as he stared out of the sea.
"I think I've heard of it from the lads in the pub. They say that somewhere in the open sea of Dregmorr lies a territory of sirens and that legend says that hunters would often go there to hunt sirens for the bounty on their magical tails, but they always fail to go back alive." You answered.
"Sounds like a one-way trip then." Jacob adds.
"Wait. Are you going to hunt them? Now?"
Captain Crow chuckled at your question then turned to look at you.
Sharpe and Jacob smirked at his confirmation.
"Aye," you responded weakly as the thought of the hunt makes you worried for your crewmates' lives especially Jacob's since there is yet to know about the sirens in Dregmorr.
"Don't worry, love. This hunt is gonna be easy as catching a fish." Jacob reassures you.
"Except you don't know how to catch one properly, Jacob, and might end up the one being caught by the sirens for dinner instead. " You countered.
Jacob Holland gave out a handsome disbelief look of expression as Sarah Sharpe and Captain Crow smirked at your counter.
You sighed and looked to the captain.
"I'll head back to me cabin and see if me can find more about the sirens."
"Aye, it'll be a great help."
As you left, you eyed Jacob still looking at you with disbelief, and crossed his arms. You move your head almost touching your left shoulder and made an attempt of a sexy sarcastic smirk.
The day passed and night came.
You left your cabin and join your crewmates outside as they prepare themselves to sail out from the ship and into the Siren's territory. A few of your crewmates along with Jacob volunteered to sail out and lure the sirens to kill.
Jacob approached you to chat before they leave.
"Me read a book awhile ago that sirens lure their prey by serenading them-"
Jacob raised his left eyebrow, surprised at your words then crossed his arms then nods as a sign that he was intently listening.
"Sirens would also take the form of the one their prey loves, they say they'll make the form too enchanting and irresistible for their prey to ignore and once their prey is drawn near to them, the sirens grab them and drown them to the bottom of the sea. Never to be seen again."
"Hmmm, I'd be worried for the lads over there but not me. I'll protect them."
"What do you mean, Jacob?"
"I mean that the Sirens won't easily have me for dinner. Besides, who will they take form when they try to lure me?"
"You don't have someone you love?"
"I have people I love, the capt'n, the crew, this ship, my life as a hunter. Anyway, you get my point."
You were cut off as one of Jacob's lads called him to sail out.
"I'll see you later, Y/N"
Jacob and his small crew got into the boat and rowed their way to the Siren's territory, as they stopped, one of the lads shot a red flare at the sky, signaling for the sirens to come...but not one came.
"Are they sleep'n, Jacob?" one of the lads asked.
"I don't know, but keep your guard up. They might start ambushing us."
A few moments passed and still no sign of the sirens. Jacob and his crew were getting sleepy and decided to row back to the ship but before one of them could start paddling, their boat swayed a little.
They then saw a beautiful tail swimming around until it dive deep.
Jacob grabbed his spear as if preparing to throw it at a siren attempting to surface.
Instead, they heard a woman's voice behind them. They all stared at the beautiful figure looking back at them. One of the lads called out her name.
Everyone stared at the lad with disbelief.
The beautiful figure was an unrecognizable version of Ms. Merino. Her long wet red locks of hair covered her chest and her face was naturally beautiful as if it was enchanted and beautified by the sea. It was an unbelievable sight for the crew. All except for the one lad who seemed to be ensnared by her beauty. She started serenading, reaching out her arm to touch the lad.
Jacob remembered what Y/N said and was not ensnared by the siren, so he was able to act quickly and pull the lad back to him, far away from the siren.
The siren hissed and dived down to the waters, the lad got angry then grabbed Jacob's shirt, expressing his anger.
"What are you doing, Jacob?! Do you have any idea how long I've waited for a chance like this?! I may live a short life as a hunter but by the gods, if I am given the chance to kiss a beautiful lady, I will."
"Calm down, lad. That was a siren. Either it kisses you or eats you alive. Don't worry, I'm here to protect you lot as I can. These sirens won't get the better of me."
Everyone turned to find another beautiful figure on their boat. This time with Y/N's face. The lads looked at her beauty with awe but Jacob...Jacob was ensnared.
Unexpectedly for him, he couldn't resist Y/N's beautiful figure gazing at him intensely. Jacob couldn't blink an eye as if he could not miss a chance to look at Y/N's beauty for a second. Her long wet (hair color) hair dangled smoothly covering her chest. Her eyes seductively told him to come closer and her cheeks and lips kissed by the sea and charmed by the beautiful color of a conch shell looked too irresistible for Jacob not to touch or kiss at the moment. He was falling madly in love with her.
It didn't take for the siren to serenade for Jacob to approach her. He wanted to go near himself. Wanted to be touched. Wanted to be kissed by her. Wanting to go down the sea with her. Slowly, Jacob successfully went near her and touched her left cheek caressing it and trying to get close to her lips. Jacob slowly tries for a kiss but the beautiful Y/N siren did not let him but instead cupped his cheeks with her hands and slowly drag him down the water.
Not one of Jacob's crew could stop him as they were also ensnared by other sirens surfacing as well.
Unfortunately for Jacob, the Y/N siren is already dragging his face down the water, and by the time his entire upper body was in the water. The siren loses its enchantment, letting Y/N's face disappear and a monstrous look appear. Jacob screamed with surprise and pushed away from the siren with all his might.
He positioned himself back on the boat and grabbed his spear and attacked the sirens as the crew are in the same situation as Jacob was. As he managed to save his crew's lives and killed some of the sirens, they bagged them and return to the ship.
As they hopped aboard the ship, the rest of the crew who remained clapped and shouted their congratulations.
"Job well done, the lot of you. We got ourselves more coins to build the Inevitable to its victory against the Berserker!" Captain Crow announced
"AYEEE!" His crew cheered.
Then he looked to Jacob and touched his shoulders, "For a moment, you had me worried there, son. I never would have thought you would fall in love with someone."
"Checked if you got any wounds first before heading to your cabin. I don't want you bloody things around." Captain Crow patted Jacob as he turns to leave.
Before Jacob could check in with the physician...
"I thought you didn't love someone?" Y/N beamed out.
"I thought too" Jacob replied as he turned to look Y/N in the eye.
"You can't possibly just deny it since we all saw you getting drowned first."
"How did she look like, the siren who formed your love?"
Jacob stared at Y/N's eyes, this time gazing at them gently and lovingly. Realizing how he cares for her more than a crewmate
"Like you said, enchanting and irresistible. I wanted to kiss her." He said so, not breaking his stare on Y/N.
"Any more specifics, like who was it?"
Jacob slowly walk to Y/N as if trying to mount her figure, he gave her a handsome gentle look that would let any woman fall for him quickly. Then he slowly moved his face closer to hers, noses touching and breathing each other's scents.
Y/N can't help but stare at Jacob's eyes intensely as if daring him to kiss her, there and now. Instead, he whispered huskily,
"I think you know, love."
You raised your left eyebrow at his words and he gave a handsome wink then left to rest at his cabin.
