The Song of a Male Siren

3rd person's pov

Yoongi and Hoseok slept soundly on one side of the cave, Yoongi covered by Hoseok's large wings. The two were cozy, just like the two sleeping across from them. Jimin was curled up in the sleeping bag right beside Elizabeth, he looked so peaceful and had no fears about the cave they were sleeping in and neither did Elizabeth. Her brown hair covered her eyes, splayed across her face as she curled up under her blanket in the sleeping bag. As the four of them slept peacefully, something in the lake was going on. A head full of brown hair popped up quietly, he looked around for a moment and swam over closer to shore. This young man was a siren, a handsome one indeed. His light grey eyes scanned the cave, looking for a potential victim as he was hungry and curious. That's when his eyes landed on Elizabeth's sleeping figure, as she shifted onto her side and faced away from Jimin. His eyes widened slightly, taking in her beauty. Elizabeth's fair slightly tan skin fit well with her wavy long brown hair, she has a soft jawline, soft cheeks and her lips were small, thin and a bit plump. Her upper lip being a bit more plump than her bottom, the shape of her lips fitting her face. If you looked closer, you could see the small mole on her lower lip, above her right nostril and under her right eyelid near her waterline. He couldn't resist her beauty, he needed to get to her, to taste her blood. So he decided the best way to do that was to lure her to him, hopefully he didn't wake the men she was surrounded by. Especially the angel sleeping in the corner, across from her. He took a deep breath, readying himself and then began singing.

"Upon one summer's morning, I carefully did stray,
Down by the Walls of Wapping, where I met a sailor gay,
Conversing with a bouncing lass, who seemed to be in pain,
Saying William, when you go, I fear you will never return again.."

Elizabeth shifted again in her sleep, her ears picking up the sound of someone singing. Her eyes fluttered open slowly, her ears registering the male's soft and beautiful voice. She sat up slowly, careful not to wake Jimin who was curled up under the blanket in the sleeping bag next to her. She could see just how peaceful and cute he looked while sleeping, calling him adorable in her mind. She looked across from the two of them, her eyes landing on Yoongi and Hoseok who were sleeping beside one another. Since everyone was sleeping it made her wonder, where the singing was coming from. She quietly slipped out from her sleeping bag, deciding to go check it out.

"My heart is pierced by Cupid,
I disdain all glittering gold,
There is nothing can console me,
But my beautiful princess bold.
Her hair hangs in ringlets, her eyes as blue as the beautiful ocean,
My happiness attend her wherever she may go,
From Tower Hill to Black wall, I'll wander, weep and moan,
All for my beautiful princess, until she sails home."

Elizabeth left the warmth of her sleep in bag and the brightly lit fire which was in the middle of the group, her green eyes dulling over as she walked over to the water. Whoever's voice the singing belonged to was so alluring to Elizabeth that she didn't care if she were to get hurt, her legs were taking her somewhere as her mind wandered away. The young male siren smiled, still singing as she came closer to him. She bent down, reaching the edge of the water. His hands reached out of the water, lightly placing them on either side of her cheeks. As he continued singing, his focus was completely on Elizabeth and not on the people she had been traveling with. Hoseok who was still fast asleep felt an urgent feeling in his chest, as if someone was in deep danger. Because of this, Hoseok's brown eyes shot open and his guardian senses were on high alert. He looked down at Yoongi, who was still fast asleep and felt comforted knowing that his best friend was fine. He rubbed his eyes, looking across the fire to where Jimin and Elizabeth were and felt fine when he saw that Jimin was sleeping. But when he looked at Elizabeth's empty sleeping bag, his heart dropped. That's when he heard the sound of someone singing, he fully sat up, lightly pushing Yoongi off of his wing. His eyes frantically searched the area, when he heard a slight splash. His eyes widening when he saw Elizabeth being pulled down gently into the water of the lake by a male siren, "Guys!! Wake up!!" He shouted, shaking Yoongi roughly. Jimin shot up immediately out of his sleep, his brown eyes adjusting to the light as he rubbed them. Yoongi rolled over, grumbling to himself and opened his eyes. "What is going-" Yoongi and Jimin immediately shot up to their feet, hearing the sound a male singing. Their eyes met each other's, before looking over to the lake where half of Elizabeth's body was sticking out of.
