Siren's Song

Chapter 3

As you entered the room the first thing you noticed was just how dark everything was. It looked like this room would be designated for deep sea creatures with all the night light decorations and everything. Plus the pictures of deep sea creatures you recognize.

You looked around the room even more, really doubting that they were here. You were dreaming when you 'met' them and even then they couldn't be this far inland. They could barely move on the beach!

Your eyes landed on the obvious attraction of the room.

A large dark tank.

This thing was massive!

But there were no fish inside. Not one.

All that seemed to be going on was the sound of the all too calming and familiar song that seemed to echo around the room. Drawing you to the massive tank.

Your body stopped moving when you reached the tank, arms hugged tightly to your chest as you stared deep into the empty tank.

Then the song suddenly stopped.

Filling the room with silence. It was nerve racking.

You look around the massive tank, hopeful to see at least one fish. But there was none.

You started to think that the song was coming from just some kind of speaker in this room. But if that was the case then surely others would have heard it as well. The aquarium was THAT empty.

It came from here and for whatever reason you were the only one who could hear it.

In addition, you couldn't stop looking into the empty tank.

It was like you were staring at something in the tank, but there was nothing you could see.

It was just an empty tank.

An empty tank that gave off the feeling that someone, or something, was staring at YOU.

But for a split second you thought you saw some kind of movement in the tank. Like something just barely brushed against the sand, kicking it up just a bit. You try to get a better look, but your concentration is interrupted when a male voice echoes through the room.

"What's a pretty lady like you doing back here?" he spoke.

You jumped and whipped around to the man, thinking you got caught by a worker. Only he wasn't wearing a uniform.

"I could say the same to you. Don't scare people like that." you glared after calming down from the jumpscare.

The man raised his arms in a mock surrender, "Ey its okay little lady, didn't mean to scare you. I saw you come in this direction and wondered what you were up to." he said and took a slight step forward.

So he didn't hear it either.

"Well neither of us should be here to begin with so let's get out of here before we get into trouble." I ushered out as I made my way out of the room.

Only for the man to block my way, "Aw come on, we can spare a bit of time, we're in a dark room that we are not supposed to be in. We can have some fun." he offered.

You didn't like the way this man put that, nor do you like how he's blocking your way.

"Hard pass." you go to move around him again but this time he gets more insistent as he grabs onto your arm. "Wha- Hey! Let go!"

"You're a party pooper little lady. I just want to have some fun. I promise it won't hurt." he smiles.

"H*ll no! Let go! Now!" you kept insisting and pulling to get your arm out of his grasp.
