The Siren's Song

Chapter Seven

Mabel squirmed in pain as Pacifica went about letting her snakes snap at her. "Don't worry child. The venom in my pets will protect you from any spell. And break the spell that your brother placed on you." She purred. Mabel shrieked as the poison entered her veins.

"Stop! Please!" She cried as a snake snapped at her arm. Pacifica tutted.

"Don't you want to be resistant to your brother's spells?" She cooed.

Mabel pulled at the restraints that had wrapped around her tail and arms. A snake snapped at her tail and she screamed. Soon she fell limp, the pain knocking her unconscious.

"You know. I kinda liked this one." Gideon remarked. He flicked his tail back and forth as he swam around Mabel's limp body. "Pity."

Then he heard something in the distance. "Pacifica darling. There is something out there." He said pointing. Pacifica groaned.

"Then go see what it is." She snapped. Her snakes stopped snapping at Mabel to hiss at Gideon. He swam off grumbling.

Jeez. Lay off. Our plan won't work if that idiot brother of hers shows up. He thought to himself. He looked up and froze. Directly above him was a giant ship, The Siren's Song.

"Bill! What do you mean 'before history repeats itself'?" Dipper grabbed Bill's wrist. Bill stopped and looked at Dipper with tears in his eye. Dipper dropped his hand. "This happened to you and Will didn't it?"

"Yes. Will was in the same position your sister is in." Bill said solemnly.

"We have to get to Mabel." Dipper said flatly. "I'll scout down below for her." He went to dive over but Bill stopped him.

"There's no need. We're here." He said through clenched teeth. He pointed to a lone ship mast protruding out of the sea. "Pacifica Northwest."

"Oh hello Billy!" Pacifica appeared in front of the two men. "I thought you didn't like it here."

"I came here to rescue a friend." Bill growled as Dipper hid behind him.

"Oh. So you want to lose your other eye? My collection isn't complete without it." Pacifica purred. Bill frowned.

"I won't let you take another innocent life. Leave Mabel go." Bill's voice took on not only a double edge but a triple. His power was much stronger then Dipper's and the smaller male could feel the power threatening to force him to do what Bill said.

"Ugh!" Pacifica screamed covering her ears. She shook her head violently. Then she uncovered her ears.

"I can make you bend to my will. I can unlock those feelings deep within you and you know it." Bill smirked evilly. "No one is ruthless. We all have feelings."

The boat began to toss back and forth making many lose their footing. One man yelled to get under deck as waves rose up on either side of the boat. Dipper glanced at Bill who had his eye closed. His hands rose to his eyepatch and tore it from his head. A dull golden light shone from the empty eye socket. Bill shot his eye open and grabbed Dipper's hand. Then he dragged him overboard.

"Ahh!" Dipper screamed as he braced himself to hit the water, hard. But the impact never came. He flicked his tail and realized he was underwater. Or more like floating in a wave at the side of the ship. "What?"
