Trepidation. Thats what hesring that voice in my head caused me. Dread. Fear. My hands clasped tightly together to distract myself from the small voice.

"So what are you exactly, love? Cause I have never seen something like you before." Enzo questioned as the small voice was beginning to chant in my head.

You killed all of those people. They had families. You killed them. You're a monster-

"Vee?" Kol's voice pulled my attention, causing me to look up alert. His concern in his eyes showing he knew something was off with me. I wonder if he thought I was a monster as well. "You alright, sweetheart?" He questioned carefully, eyes darting to Enzo before looking back at me.

"I'm okay.. just tired I guess. Sorry did you say something earlier?" My head turned to look at Enzo in the backseat who looked like he was intruding on a moment. Guilty.

You are guilty. You should drown like your ancestors.

"I asked what you were. I don't know many creatures who have glorious wings like that." He repeated. I smiled at him.

"I'm a Siren." I informed simply. Enzo tilted his head slightly.

"I thought Sirens were Mermaids." He hummed, looking like he was trying to piece together the information in his head.

"Greek Mythology Sirens are birds." Kol muttered in an all knowing tone. He clearly did not enjoy Enzo being in the car with us. Not that I could blame him, Kol was very possessive just like my other mates.

"Ah, maybe I should read up on the Greek Mythology then. Maybe find myself a nice Siren to bed." Enzo winked at me causing a growl to rumble from Kol.

"Octavia is the only Siren alive." Kol growled. His glaring brown eyes piercing through Enzo in the rear view mirror.

"Pity." Enzo huffed, not even minding the angry original in the driver seat. It was like this man had little to fear. But I suppose living in a laboratory would take away many fears. "You can drop me off here, don't think I want to meet your other mates when you're all bloody and such." Enzo smirked as Kol gladly pulled over.

"You sure? You're more than welcomed to stay with us- we have a large house." I offered, ignoring the look Kol was sending me. Enzo chuckled, shaking his head.

"Lovely offer, but I prefer my dead heart to be kept inside my chest for a while longer." Enzo chimed causing me to laugh. He was right. If my mates were home, they would not be pleased with a strange man living with us. Especially a man who was flirtatious and easy on the eyes as Enzo was.

Kol wasted no time in speeding off towards the house after Enzo stepped out of the car.

"Now will you tell me what that was back there?" Kol asked, his eyes steady on the road ahead.

"What do you mean?" I questioned, picking at a small hangnail, avoiding any eye contact. I knew what he was asking. But I didnt know for sure what even was happening myself.

"You were pale and looking about two seconds from a panic attack." Kol explained, knowingly. I glanced up at him with a small sigh.

"I- the voice is back." I mumbled, looking back at the small hangnail. My hands were still bloody from the killing, but the blood was more like a stain than a dry crust bit I could just peel off.

"The voice? Wait the voice you heard before driving off a cliff??" Kol questioned in a harsh tone, pulling off to the side of the road. He was about to freak out on me. I felt it.

"I'm okay, Kol. Just- it came out of nowhere. I wasn't expecting it was all." Kol shook his head at me.

"Why now?" He asked, seemingly more to himself. "What was it saying?" He questioned as his eyes scanned over me.
