The Siren In Me

Chapter 6: On My Nightmares (Plane)

I wake up at 8:10 a.m. to get ready. I take a 20 minute shower (Don't judge me), feed Mali his breakfast (5 minutes),feed myself my breakfast (10 minutes), brush my teeth, and get ready. By the time I'm done it's 8:45 p.m. I take Mali out of his cage and give him a hug. I twirl around with him.

Today's the day I will go to Siren Island...where my...where she...I can't say it. It felt like I can't say her proper name anymore.

I put Mali back in his cage. I look under the bed and grab my journal with my pen. I put it in my little travelling backpack. After all this, Cal finally arrives.  When I see him, I finally remember about yesterday.

I let him hug me,but I don't hug him back.He picks up Mali's cage with Mali inside  and we got to the car. I hardly look up at him or talk to during the ride with him,Chelsy,and his mom Grace. Grace,sensing I'm down, tries to let me enter the conversation,but I always smile,nod and pretend to look at the window.

Cal looks at me with sad eyes in the reflection. I just ignore him and look at the city as Grace drives.

It looks so beautiful in the outside, but in the inside it's just another awful,rotten place. I wish I couldn't call this place home,but unfortunately I can't.

Omigosh! How can I be so stupid?!, I thought to myself. I just had a fantastic idea. Why didn't I use m Siren voice on Cal at his house to get the truth out of him? Wow...I'm dumb sometimes.

At least I found out how,but I better use it in the plane,where (hopefully) we could sit together.Saying it now would just lead drama into Chelsy and Grace,so best leave it for later.

We arrive there after my plan is settled. I sit by Cal,start an easy conversation,and force the truth out of him. No wonder my dad doesn't like me...even I seen myself be this devious. I love it!

I grin at my master plan,saying "muahahaha" in my mind,however, kind of over done it for me.

As we wait in the line for the metal detector test, I sneak a glance at Cal. He looks calmer now...not for long. I walk through it first,scared when it started beeping. Cal's family looked at me,terrified. I look back,confused.

The police scan me with his...hand metal detector...He finds nothing,but tells me to empty my pockets; I did as I was told. I hear Chelsy whispering to Grace how I'm a dirty,nasty criminal. I roll my eyes at the silly thought. What did she think I brought? A gun or something?!, I thought.

 The officer finds nothing and ,surprisingly, lets me through, muttering to the others how they need a new metal detector.

"Kay there,Z?" Cal asks me,worried.

"Yeah,whatever." I said,acting bored. Why should you care? , I thought to him.

We all give our tickets to the lady checking them. She's seems nice and is pretty,but she looks awfully familiar...forget it.

I get to sit by someone...who's related to Cal. She haunts my nightmares,however. I'm pretty sure you guessed it.

This particular person is Chesly, the she-demon.
