The Sirens Of The Sea (a music freaks au)

Chapter 6: Hypnotism

Sunlight held the brief moment of silence from the three sirens, and the gentle breeze carried the sound of Drew's sudden laughter. Drew looked back to his fellow comrades, a gleam of mischief in his midnight covered eyes. "I have an idea." Said the magenta haired boy, turning to face them both.

Liam and Henry perked up, attentive as ever. Drew began to explain, "Liam and i will invite everyone in the school to a party. When we start the party, all three of us will host a karaoke, with us going first." Said he.

"Geez, why are you roping me into this? You know, if the spell somehow breaks they're going to HATE all three of us." Said the former prince, a look of sarcasm on his freckled face. "The spell won't break if we're careful. We just have to be sure not to screw anything up." Drew calmly stated.

"Well.. so does this mean I don't have to-" "No, you still have to sing to Zander, Henry." Drew cut off the slightly hopeful boy, crushing him back down into despair.

"What- but why?! If we're going to sing to him, then there's no need for me to do it, right?!" Henry desperately argued. "I doubt he's going to say yes to the invitation, nor any of his freak friends. It's better to get them slowly, rather than seem suspicious." Drew argued back, keeping his composure.

After a bit of nonsensical verbs spewed out of the green haired boys mouth, he longly sighed. "Fine! I just have to find that piano freakjob first." Henry finally agreed, spite in his tone. "Good, just be sure you don't get yourself caught by a teacher." Said Drew.

"If we find you by the time we're done, we'll help you out. Just make sure you keep going long enough, the spell isn't gonna work if it's not at least an hour or so." Commanded Drew. "I know, that's why I didn't want to do it in the first place." Henry sassed his fellow siren, before walking off.

And thus, began his search.

-
Zander sat in the bathroom mirror alone, the cold sound of air was all that he could exactly hear. No one was there, and only the slight sounds of chatter from outside were what kept him company.

He thought to himself, palms on his hands. Not bothering to take a look at his own eyes, he thought about him. That stupid peach haired boy, Jake. With his stupid singing voice, and his stupid little  friends. With every part of his heart, he despised that boy. If he weren't a good person, he'd wish for him to burn.

The silence became still for a few seconds more, then it came back again. He was almost about to stand up to walk outside and go mind his business, when--

The lights went off.

'Great. A power outage. How convenient.' He thought to himself, sarcasm laced in his own minds voice. One could not see in such darkness, so he had to touch the walls in order to find his way out.

He saw the faint light of the door, and began to head towards that.

Then it faded out, as the door closed.

This made the young boy flinch in surprise, and paranoia was felt all around his limbs. Who had closed that door? Why did it close? Was something in there with him? Endless questions seemed to flood his mind.

His mind immediately thought of the idea that it was probably Jakes stupid friends again, and he grumbled. "Hey, if you imbeciles are trying to pull anything, it's not working!" He yelled out, his voice echoing.

No response.

His heart began to thud, as he began to see a few movements within the swallowing shadows. Taking a step back, he shook his head and tried to summon the courage to get to the door.

A hum.

A gentle, light humming was heard by Zander from all the way around. He couldn't quite place where in the hell it was coming from- but-

It was beautiful, nothing like he had ever heard before. It sounded  more good than Jake's.

Enchanting. Wonderful. So.. magnificent, and angelic.

But his body immediately knew it was.. something. It wasn't exactly something he could put his finger on, but he knew it wasn't right. His instincts told him to run, get out of there, hide. But he didn't know where on earth the voice was coming from.

Then, it began to sing words. Words he couldn't make out, but he recognized that who.. whatever it was, was singing something. He felt lightheaded, and his body couldn't help but try to follow. No matter how many times he tried to resist.

A sleepy smile rested on his face, his light purple eyes were glazed. His body felt relaxed, but heavy.

The voice came closer, closer, yet closer. Causing Zander to go in circles. No worries, no pain, he felt nothing but joy because of this simple voice.

Then, he felt a hand caress his cheek, and pull him closer.

Within the shadows, he could make out a boys face. He seemed familiar, but he didnt remember where he had seen such a handsome man.

Emerald green eyes, fluffy green hair, silky skin. He was perfect. His smile was adorable, his touch was soft, his eyes gleamed with a sense of charm.

It was like the world began to collapse around him, and he felt him and this boy drown into a colorful sea. He felt comforted, by such an embrace as the song being sang to him.

He felt himself warmly blush, butterflies in his stomach. 'You know, maybe I don't need Lu-'

He lost consciousness.

-

"Jeez, Henry! What did you do to him? He seems pretty knocked out!"

"Hey, I just did what you guys asked of me!"

"Well, you seem to have gotten him pretty good."

"Yeah, i don't recall you ever knocking someone out the last time we were in the sea."

"Oh, shut up, lets just go before we're found and get accused of attempted murder! And pray to God he doesn't remember any of that!"

-

Zander awoke. Confusion in his head, no memory of what had happened in the bathroom other than the sudden blackout. The lights seemed to be back on. The only odd thing was his lack of memory, and really bad headache.

Sitting up slowly, and standing to his feet, he guided himself out of the bathroom with his hand in order not to fall.

Jake suddenly popped up in his memory. Ah, that's right. He joined the club.

A smile on his face, he thought, 'I should go talk to him during club hours! He seemed to do pretty good for a newcomer.'
