Through The Madness

The Sirens

Brianna wraps her coat around Freddie's tiny body; it swallows her and reaches to her ankles almost. She looked like a little girl in her mother's jacket.

"Better?" Brianna asks as they trail after Regina.

Freddie nods warming up now. She grabs Brianna's arm as they slide down the hill to the docks, a shortcut they took when they were kids.

They make it in one piece. The salty air blows their hair around, 

"Okay which boat are we stealing?" Regina asks, messing with her sideburns, "I like that one!"

Freddie's eyes bug out of her head, "That's a yacht!"

"So?" 

Regina gives her a look, "Come on now!"

"No, Reg. Let's just take that little row boat." Freddie says softly.

"Yeah stealing a yacht isn't on my to-do list of the day." Brianna huffs looking around trying to see if anyone was nearby.

They begin to try and hotwire a boat with a monitor or try to get gas to start it. Nothing was working and now they were standing on the dock in the cold. Regina turns into her wolf form to stay warm.

"Hey!"  it was Joan from the market she was approaching them she had a market bag slung over her shoulder.

Regina yelps and crashes into Freddie face planting into her chest. Regina turns scarlett freezing up.

Freddie laughs and pries Regina away, the girl turns back into human, she redressed ignoring the cold nipping her skin. The blond was blushing so hard her face was redder than a sunburnt ginger.

"Do you have a boat?" Brianna asks shyly

Joan raises a brow she knows Brianna is legally blind. Have you ever seen a blind captain?

"Yeah. That's how I get to my home on the island." Jane explains, "Why?"

"Can we sail into the sea and check on the sirens?" Regina asks.

Joan's eyes bug, "Sirens! Hell no!!"

"Please." Freddie begs.

Joan pauses, she blushes and agrees to take them to where the sirens are.

Freddie sings softly as they travel,

 "Oh, Sally Brown, she's a nice young lady,

Way, hay, roll and go.

And we rolled all night,

And we rolled all day,

Spend our money on Sally Brown."

Regina grins, 

"Oh, Sally Brown, she's a bright mulatto.

Way, hay, roll and go.

Well, she drinks dark rum,

And she chews tobacco."

The four women sing sea shanties until they start to approach where the sirens were last seen. Freddie and Regina didn't think they would still be there. Most sirens get prey then leave into the night never to be seen again.

 It was easy to find them they were on a large rock singing their woes, well only the auburn haired one was. She was singing, the doe eyed girl next to her was hugging her legs and trembling from the cold. She has tears in her eyes and there's slashes on her leg which look like they were caused from a net being wrapped around too tight.

The auburn haired beauty grins at them watching as they disembark the ship and step onto their land which was only a massive rock. 

"Hello?" Freddie calls to them, watching her step trying not to step on bone pieces.

"I'm Julianna." the auburn haired beauty speaks with a grin, her sharp teeth showing, "This is my wife Pauline."  

"I'm Freddie." Freddie says softly a small chuckle leaves her lips, "These are my friends." 

The three women behind her wave, "I see you're a little minx." Julianna teases.

Freddie blushes, "I'm not!" She crossed her arms over her dress.

"Well you're dressed like one." Julianna gestures to Freddie's chest which was struggling to stay enclosed in her summer dress.

Freddie tugs over the coat, "I-I can't find clothes to fit." her face flushes and she looks away.

Regina shoves Freddie behind her. She growls lowly teeth showing.

Julianna laughs and shows her sharper teeth which are meant to break through bones.

The two women size each other up teeth showing, "Regina!" Freddie's soft voice rings out as she grabs onto her arm.

Pauline makes no sound; she shoves Julianna back standing up on shaking legs. She was nude from the waist down and the cold was beating against her skin like a war drum.

 "You really agree with them?" Julianna snarls standing tall.

Pauline looks away, the younger woman keeps a protective stance to the women behind her. She didn't like Julianna anymore, she's the reason she got…. Julianna is always the reason she gets hurt.

Julianna shoves her, sending her toppling backwards into Joan. Pauline cries out falling down. The brunet's sunglasses fall off and Pauline and her make eye contact. Fear strikes the older woman's face as she stares into the hypnotic snake eyes.

Pauline screams, a pure scream of agony and suffering. Her body stiffens everything locking up, her eyes roll in the back of her head and she's turned into stone.

Joan covers her eyes feeling around for her glasses spewing apologizes out. She gets them back on and Julianna pounces on her, "You killed my wife!! My wife!!" 

The two women are brawling with each other. Joan tries to not harm her; she knows Julianna is going through pain. If the older woman would stop brawling Joan the snake woman would tell her how to reverse it.

Brianna tries to pull the older woman away but that seems to enrage her more. She bites Brianna causing a new burning wound on the woman's arm. The dark haired woman backs down, arm sizzling with pain. She can see Freddie trying to work a plan and Regina is hiding behind a pillar.

Julianna digs her nails into Joan's eyes. Making Joan scream and attack back. Brianna grabs a large bone off the ground gagging some at the smell of rotten meat. 

She lifts it above her head whimpering at the pain in her arm. Warm hazel eyes darting back and forth between the two women. She licks her lips.

Should Brianna club Julianna or should she back down?
