Siren and Chyrs met for the rest of the weeknights, Siren getting some parchment for Chrys to write on and show how they’d get out. It was simple really, they were getting out the same way Chrys got in, through the boats that were at the port as stowaways. The tricky part was not getting caught by guards as they left or on the five-day journey to Seattle. Chyrs had said it was cold and rainy there, contrasting to the hot and dry feeling of Siren’s kingdom. Then finally it came time to escape.

They were talking and Siren got some jeans for the two when Chrys had to run outside and crouch under Siren’s tower as a servant had come in to give her breakfast. As usual, Siren saved a bit of her food for Chrys, who ate hungrily. “Siren, let’s go now.” Chyrs said, wiping at her mouth to brush away crumbs. Siren nodded, rummaging through her closet and finding two black T-shirts, donning one as she handed the other to Chrys. They jumped off, the sun just rising. They had decided to leave in the morning, knowing that the workers would leave in the morning breeze, letting them get a fresh start on the day. They carefully clambered down the tower, stopping on the towers walls, avoiding guards that would catch the ‘vagabond’ stealing their precious, perfect princess. Finally, they got to the wall and went to Chrys’ house, if you could call the shack a house. Opening the sheet-door, Chrys revealed that she had made a hole in the outer wall. They got out, running to the port. Chrys crouched behind some boxes that smelled suspiciously of tuna, and Siren followed her. “Ok, so the plan is that we get into the ship on their breakfast break and hide in the lower hull.” Chrys whispered as Siren sat down, fiddling with her brown locks. Chyrs sat down to and waited for a bit, but then the sailors took a break and both sneaked in, hiding in the shadows. “Then I told him… Wait.” A sailor was talking before glaring almost directly at the girls. The sailor scanned the shadows, trying to find the girls, but gave up and continued their story. Chrys and Siren breathed a sigh of relief and eventually got down.
“Uhh, Siren, do we have any money for Seattle?” Chrys asked a bit into the second day or the voyage and Siren paled. “I hadn’t thought about that, I never really had to care about it.” Chrys looked at Siren before smiling. “It’s a good thing you have me.” She said before taking out a wad of bills from her back pocket. “Seven thousand dollars. Why do you think those guards were chasing me last week?” Chrys said and Siren slapped her playfully. “So, you are a thief.” Siren said, the tease evident in her voice, and Chrys shook her head. “More like I chased the opportunities that came to me.” Chrys said and put the money back in the pocket of her worn down jeans before turning and sleeping. Siren stayed awake, alone with only her thoughts as company. She tried to imagine Seattle and skyscrapers, but she was entering a whole new world. A world where her royalty didn’t matter, only looks did. Where phones and technology ruled most things, and she had to make money, not be born with it. Chrys knew, Chrys knew this world, but siren had no clue. Siren was traveling g to another world, but that world might not accept her. All she could do was wait, hoping it would all come to place.

As the ship completed its voyage, both girls were tired of the waves and very hungry. Chrys had told Siren it was only three days, but Siren suffered the most, accustomed to three course meals each day whereas Chrys barely had any food, making her as thin as a stick.
Eventually, Chrys woke Siren up and they snuck out to the port of Bremerton. Chrys dragged Siren to a bus station and looked at a map While siren waited for her to get through. “Ok, so according to this, we need to take a ferry to Seattle.” Chrys said and as they were getting tickets and a taxi their Siren asked Chrys a question. “Chyrs, why are we going to Seattle? What’s the importance of that place?” Chrys sighed, preparing to tell her.
“Well, there’s this safe house me, Theo, and Jack built. It’s an apartment in Seattle that’s really nice. We are going to live there and get jobs, after all, if you’re old enough to be queen you can also work.” Chrys said simply and the taxi came. They paid to get to the Bremerton ferry, eating the breakfast Chrys had bought them hungrily. “So Chrys, is that your entire plan, to get us a job and live here?” Chrys nodded, finishing a bite of pancake. “It should be better than the kingdom, and we could explore other places and fly on planes.” Siren nodded and they explored the ferry, also stopping to use the utilities, before the ferry stopped and they got off.
Chrys had purchased a map of Seattle and was observing it, trying to find the house and other places to go. “Ok, so the house is here, but we can probably get a job or food here.” Chrys pointed to the house and Pike Place market on the map. “Let’s get food, I’m still hungry.” Siren said and Chrys laughed. They hailed a cab and went to Pike Place, eating at a seafood restaurant. Chyrs and Siren window-shopped, walking back to the apartment as Siren asked about everything and Chrys answered cheekily, watching Siren’s face light up with each explanation. They walked into a parking garage, getting into the house with someone else by Siren sweetly tricking them, saying they lived here with their parents but forgot their key. When the lady kindly let them in, Chrys grabbed Siren’s hand and locked it with her tanned one, taking her to the apartment when she took its key out of her pocket.
“We each have a key, maybe Theo will come by, but until then this is a fully decked out suite for three people with food for a month.” Chrys said before opening the door. The suite was mostly blue and purple, with a full kitchen, two full bathrooms, and their bedrooms. Chrys immediately went to the master suite and yelled. “I’m changing don’t come in,” Before going into her closet and pulling out another pair of ripped jeans and a t-shirt that had kill with love as the kill bled out. Chrys came back out to see Siren entranced with the TV, a random station on as she watched.
“Hey Siren, you can change now, just look in the closet.” Siren nodded and went to the closet, finding a sky-blue dress that was a bit big on her, but she paid it no mind. “I’m tired.” Siren said after yawning as Chrys looked at Siren before chuckling. “I didn’t even know I had that dress. How about I get you some pajama’s and then you can sleep? We’ll save the clothes for tomorrow.” Chrys said and Siren nodded. Chrys ran into the closet and gave Siren clothes. She changed in another bedroom which she claimed for herself and Chrys took the master suite, seeing as all her stuff was already here. They fell asleep, Chrys happy she and Siren hadn’t been caught.
