Erikiena

You were a young woman who had been job hunting since your last divorce had left you financially strained, and since your fickle parents had decided not to help you find a job, that meant you were on your own this time.

It took a few weeks of job hunting, but you managed to find a good-paying job that would provide you with a decent living situation, along with some honest money.

You were going to be an assistant in a lab, you didn’t need any specific requirements since you were basically just going to do errands for the scientists.

When you first arrived you were given a small room that was plain and undesirable but was good enough to meet your basic needs.

When you began working you were given small errands like retrieving files and coffee but the longer you worked there you noticed more and more that the scientists were more vile and vindictive then you thought, you wanted to quit and never step foot in this place again, but after a quick conversation in your head you knew that you were to far in, besides you already signed a contract for a year of work.

One day you were brought onto a ship along with a few other errand runners, you were all tasked with helping control the ship while the scientists conducted some research. Apparently, they were trying to research mere folk.

Late into the night when you were helping tie the sail, a few scientists started shouting, the net they had placed into the water had caught something.. or someone.

What came out of the water was a giant siren, she had deep blue skin with gills that glowed green, big green eyes that were empty of any emotion, long black hair that reached down to her waist, scales trailing up her tail all the way up her back and down her arms scattering around her body, she was beautiful but also frightening.

After her capture, the scientists returned so they could put her in captivity so they could research her without the prying eyes of others.

After a week of tests the scientists had begun to get confused, not only did she never mutter a single word, never speaking or making any noise, they found that whatever test they tried on her failed or just didn’t work in the first place, to make sure none of the methods were failing they tested other creatures and soon came to the conclusion that their way of testing didn’t work on her, after many other failed tests they decided to give up on her for now.

But that didn’t mean they left her alone, how could they, she was the most interesting specimen they had, she was far bigger than the regular siren and in terms of strength was after stronger, in both physical and magical abilities.

You had also gotten interested in this siren that no knew anything about, she was beautiful, she had this charm to her that you’ve never seen, it’s like you just couldn’t stop admiring her, you’ve seen other mere folk before but something about her was different, and that something made you attracted to her, you didn’t know what it was but you knew something about her had drawn you in.. You weren’t the only one to notice.

Erikiena a power sea witch who terrorized the ocean and its inhabitants got tired of helping greedy mere folk messing with their pitiful lives and decided to find something to entertain her in the meantime, but even when she found herself in an interesting situation, she had soon gotten bored with that as well.

She was board while pretending to be a helpless test subject and had planned to leave this facility but after you, a regular errand runner had caught her attention, she decided to have a bit of fun before escaping, besides it’s not like she’s running out of time, it’s not like they could keep her against her will anyway, she was the one who let herself get captured in the first place.. but they don’t need to know that.

The whole week you noticed she always watched as you passed by and stared when you helped the scientists, she would flick her tail at you and tap at the glass when you didn’t look at her, she enjoyed reeling you in just to tease you by flicking her tail at you, you didn’t know what that meant but it was interesting to see a scary big siren do something cute.

You were passing by like usual when you noticed a familiar figure with the scientists, it was your ex-husband, he was talking with the scientists about Test subject #372 (aka Erikiena) when you noticed he was also in a scientist's robe.

Soon you found out he was hired and was immediately assigned to your area since his parents were rich and could give the facility good money.

You were mad of course, you never wanted to see him again, not only did he cheat on you but he bled you dry in the divorce even though he didn’t even need your money, and now he was basically your boss in a sense, he could boss you around making you do all kinds of uncomfortable tasks if he wanted to.. And that’s exactly what he did.

When he found out you worked there he immediately made you specifically do his errands, you wanted to punch him in his face, but you couldn’t afford to piss off the higher-ups.

But a certain someone had noticed your sudden distance when doing your ex-husband’s tedious tasks.

One day when researching Test subject #372 (Erikiena) she was normal, all calm in her glass confinement, opposed to all the other scared test subjects in the facility, but when she noticed a certain errand runner wasn’t paying attention to her she started to flick the glass with her tail, when you still didn’t look she started banging the glass to get your attention, as she pounded a small part of the glass broke, the scientists started to panic, the glass may have been reinforced 3 times with multiple glasses pressed against one another to strengthen her confined area, it was still not a good situation.

When trying to calm her down and get the situation under control you had obviously noticed and had turned your attention to her completely, when you faced her and poured all your attention onto her, all her raging banging ceased, she stared at you finally happy that she’d grabbed your attention once more.

A nearby scientist had noticed and wondered if the test subject had really taken a liking to you, if so it could be a big hit for them but an unfortunate situation for both you and the test subject.

Just to make sure she put you in charge of taking care of the test subject which confused you, but at least your ex-husband couldn’t make you do all his errands, because now you were test subject #372's personal care taker.
