Siren love song

Chapter 5

The travel to Romania was not that difficult for fae, especially since all we have to do is place one phone call and we ride in first class. We arrived to Romania in 12 hours, stepping off the plane we headed towards luggage claim, after claiming our bags we headed outside. Exiting the airport  to find a chauffeur, holding a sign with our names with a SUV that appeared to have a reinforced exterior, and tinted windows behind him.

"Sirens?" He inaudibly asks.

"Yes." I reply. Without saying another word the driver grabbed our luggage, pulling it out of our hands and storing it in the trunk. He opens the door to the back seat, motioning us into the car. Stepping in cautiously, I viewed the cars interior display. I noticed that there's a divider between the drivers portion of the car, and the passengers seating. Tinted windows, and reinforced walls made up the passengers side of the SUV, the only welcoming feature of the vehicle was the seats, the deep blue cushions of the car that offered comfort. But looking at our mode of transportation, only two theories came to mind with what the real purpose of this SUV is used for.

1) The King uses this car for him to indulge in personal pleasures.

2) The car is used to transport prisoners inconspicuously.

Ignoring both of my theories, I settled into the seats. Once both Mira and I were completely settled into the back, the driver closed the door, starting the car, we were on our way to the castle.

On the ride to the castle, I was carefully viewing the scenery, memorizing the route, while I was doing this Mira was trying to make conversation with the driver to try and obtain his full attention so he didn't catch on to what I was doing. Sadly Mira was struggling desperately to try and get the driver to maintain any form of dialogue.

"So any other forms of employment or hobbies that you do, then serve the King?"

"No"

"What do you do for fun here?"

"Drive the King and his guests."

"Do you have a family waiting for you at home?"

"No I live alone."

Even though I was solely looking out the window regardless, I could still hear the somewhat forced conversation between Mira and the driver. Overall I could tell that Mira was failing at talking to the driver. For all his replies to Mira's questions were curt and solemn. As the SUV traveled off the main road and deeper into the woods, we soon came to an abrupt stop in a small clearing of the woods. I look out all the window in the car when I do a double take of the back window of where we were seated.

In the distance I could see a dark speck that appeared to be getting larger as it came closer to  the car, at a rapid speed. Turning back towards the driver, I glared at him, knowing full well that he could see my fiery gaze through the rearview mirror. "What the hell is going on?" I shout over the screeching shriek of the incoming of what appeared to be a beast, he said nothing, remaining stoic. By the time I turn around to see how close the creature was, talons grabbed the undercarriage of the SUV, lifting it airborne.

Thrown back by the impact, I grab the head of my seat and the armrest around me to steady myself once the car reached a steady altitude I loosened my death like grip. Mentally cursing that damn divider that stopped my dagger, from being at that drivers throat for pulling a stunt like that. Suddenly hearing a click, a mini screen TV came down from the roof of the ceiling with the message ' A video chat with the King' then the  new Vampire Kings face appeared on the monitor.

" Welcome, ladies I'm so glad that you could accept my invitation." Before I could say anything related to our job he continued on like a never ending babbling nitwit. " When you arrive at my castle make yourselves at home. After dinner we will discuss the matters of your employment.
