The Siren In Me

Chapter 11: Oh snap!

I take a step back,thinking Cal might hurt me. He would never hurt me,however, and I would never hurt him....unless I use the Siren voice on him.

I sit on the edge of my bed,while Cal comes in. He scans around the room,making sure it's clear I guess. He closes the door softly,trying not to draw attention,even though it makes it more obvious with someone closing it slowly and softly.

He crouches in front of me,anger in his eyes. I look away,whistling a toon I came up with. Unfortunately, Cal doesn't go away yet. He gives me a look like Well?! I wouldn't be surprised...wouldn't you be mad if your best friend used her voice on you to get the truth?

I give a sigh,wanting him to just forget what happened. He doesn't however,because if he did he would of been out of my room by now. He's now poking my knee,trying get my attention.

"Care to apologize?" he says,angrily. "Me?! You're the one who wouldn't tell me in the first place!" I exclaimed,getting up and sitting on my dresser. He gets up and walks over to me. He blocks my path,in case I run again. 

"I'm the one to apologize for something that could make you sad? Okay then,next time I'll make sure to make you cry!" he yells,walking to the door and slamming it.

And this time I cry..

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~-----------------------------------~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 The first thing I felt was guilt...betrayal, but it was still partly his fault. He should of told me. I thought being best friends meant being honest to each other......

As I was started to stop crying and girl-up about Cal and our situation, I couldn't help thinking about the first time we met.

~~~~Flashback~~~~~ 

(Age 12) I sat on a bench,by my neighborhood park crying and crying,mourning for my mother to come back to me....to come from the dead and come back, a boy an age older than me walked by. I looked up,but quickly looked down. I didn't want some boy to come and share my sympathy with me. He stopped in front of me however, with no emotion.

He was cute with black hair and a twinkle of blonde side-burns,the average nose, green eyes,and natural-born pink lips...

"Why are you crying?" he asked,still no emotion.

I didn't answer at first ; just looked away,hoping he would leave. Unfortunately, he didn't move an inch,until he came and crouched in front of me."Why are you crying?" he asked again, still no emotion. Doesn't this guy know to show a little concern?! What an idiot.

"Can you please go away?" I manage to say,at last. He stayed firmly in place. He was so close....so close... "Tell me why you're upset," he commanded " or I won't go away." "Then I will." I said standing up. Just as I was about to run,he grabbed my wrist. I struggled out of his hold,but eventually stopped. I looked at him,seeing him smirk. 

"Why are you smirking at me?" I asked,confused and terrified. What if he was one of those pycos,who still people? Omigosh, what if I was forced to be r-worded or something?!

I struggled again,and this time I used my voice for the first time. "Let go!" I commanded,eyes turning gold. He let go without hesitation.

My eyes turned back to normal, and he shoke his head. "Woah." he said, "I've never seen a Siren before." I look up at him,eyes widened. Most Sirens would run away in fear of getting caught,but not me. He was the first person to realize I was a Siren, and for that gratitude,I hugged him,crying. He hesitated,but eventually hugged me back. "

My name's Cal." ,he said ,smirking. I let go of him,blushing while wiping my tears.

"Zia...the Siren." I said,smiling. He chuckled and replied, "Like I didn't know."

~~~~~End of Flashback~~~~~

I grinned like an idiot from the memory. I giggled,on how weird I was back then,but now I realize I had to be strong and face the truth no matter what happens.

A knock interrupts my thoughts.

I,lazily, get up and open the door to see a boy Cal's age,with the hotel's uniform and an ID. I check the name: Amby. What kind of boy's name is Amby? I stifle a laugh,until I notice he's starring at me,intensely. I quickly stop laughing.

"May I help you?" I ask,pretending nothing happened. Amby...tehehe..

He didn't answer,just kept looking at me. I was immediately getting uncomfortable,wondering why a boy would stare at someone like me. I snapped my fingers in front of his face.

"Oh u-u-umm," he stammered, "Zia,right?" Cute, a shy guy. I nodded my head,while tilting  it,studying his face. Brown hair, blue eyes, a little freckles, and cute nose. I bet it would be adorable if he smiled.

I suddenly realized his mouth was moving,and I wasn't even paying attention. I snap my attention back to him,wondering what he said. "En?" he said,finally finishing what he was saying. I just shook my head,saying no and he ran back downstairs, As I close the door, I wondered about the conversation.

What was that all about? But...what an En? I finally decide to put it at rest,and get some myself.

That night, I dreamed of her...which doesn't suprise me. I dreamed about her ever since she died. And you know what's worst of all? That there's something inside me that I can't get out.

The powers...the voice...the dangerous; how much I hate it all,not only because it's dangerous,but because it reminds me of her.
