Molpe almost screamed as we talked. A few minutes after the screaming died down, Aglaope started to talk using her necklace asking what the hell happened. I explain everything that was going on to Aglaope, which earned another scream from Molpe. I sigh telling Molpe to shut up for once.
I'm so sorry, Molpe, but you are giving me a massive headache. Plus I am boarding a plane to Minnisota. Maybe we shou--, I say but Molpe cut me off.
No! I have a suspicion that many girls that are good for sirens are in Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Cuba, and Florida. You go to Florida, Aglaope can go to Cuba, I can go to Puerto Rico, and the other Sirens can go to Hawaii. They need a vacation anyways, Molpe had a point and I had to give it to her.
Agreed, but can we go by our fake names? I dont like to be called just a beautiful face anymore, Aglaope got very sensitive because people just thought she had a pretty face and nothing else. But the truth was, she was smarter than all the Sirens, including Molpe and I, combined. She did bring up going across the world to find Sirens.
Alright, but I am keeping my name as it is. I dont like Tea anymore. But before we do anything, we have to call the girls and make sure they're okay and they know the plan. Since we are only a few miles apart, lets meet up in Southern Florida. No ifs, ands, or buts. Now hurry! That was the last thing I said before rushing to change my ticket's destination.

The trip to Florida was not an easy one. I was stuck between a snoring, older gentleman and a mother with a crying baby in her lap.
Next time we should plan things before doing anything. I dispise coach flying. I held the necklace as I thought this, hoping that either Molpe, now Maris, or Aglaope, now Aphrodite, heard me. When there was only silence, I know they heard. They just dont want to speak and feel my wrath.
Forgetting about my sister Sirens, I let my eyes close and let myself sleep for most of the flight. But before I could even get ten minutes of closing my eyes, the sky rumbles with thunder and lightning. To be honest, I hate the gods because they act like such children!
If Athena won a war and Ares lost one, they would duke it out and see who was better. Of course Ares was all fight and barely any stradegy, Athena won again for the two hundreth and sixtieth time. Sometimes I felt bad for the guy but I still didnt pray to him; in my entire life, I only prayed to him once. The only gods I pray to is Poseidon, Athena, Hera, and Aphrodite. Yeah, I prayed to Hera, so what? She wasnt a bad goddess but she was bad ass.

The landing, grabbing my bags, and taking a cab to southern Florida went by so fast it was a blur of a memory...
I was just getting my other bag out of the yellow cab when the clouds start to churn with hatred and disgust. Okay, what in Hades was wrong with Zeus today? Marriage troubles with Hera? I didnt know at all, but it was something bad where there might be a lot of lightning tonight.
I race towards towards the beach where the small mansion was (the Sirens and Poseidon keep a beachouse just in case if we wanted to visit the city). It was a fast run considering I was abnormal to the rest of the people around me. As soon as I reach the steps of the beach house I look around finding mortals were not paying attention to the clouds.
I raise an eyebrow, very confused, Why are they not looking at the clouds? Do they not understand Zeus can destroy them? Or maybe they can't see the clouds at all!
Getting the key out with my hands shaking nerously and fierciously, I finally got it in the key hole and turn to the left, unlocking it. I push the door open finding a certain person... no, god... in front of me. I was in deep sh*t if the almighty Zeus came here.
As soon as I saw him, I drop my bags already bowing to him, "King of the Olympians? Why have you come to my Sirens beach house?"
Zeus was in his normal white robes, which always freaked me out. His lightning hazel eyes gazed deep into mine, almost trying to read my soul. He clears his throat, sighing only lightly, "Teles, it has come to my attention that you have been scouring many parts of the world to find Sirens. Is that correct?"
Oh gods! I nod slightly, "Yes, sir. As you can see, our numbers are dwindling fast. One of my girls was just pronounced dead this morning. We are thinking that--"
Zeus growls a deep growl, "Teles! Your mother was excellent while you are not. It is hard to believe that you are even her daughter! I swear, Teles, the gods do not care about your numbers dwindling. It is much better if your race dies out. Remember when your kind almost killed Orpheus and his crew? Remember when your kind tried to kill--"
Hearing about "our kind" and how we "tried to drown sailors" was not for fun. We had to eat and we were cannibals so what were we supposed to do? I said the exact same thing without any sarcasm, more with respect, "Sir, what happens when Persephone has no one as companions? Our creator will be furious and I dont--"
For the second time, he inturrupted me, "I do not care if Demeter will be furious with me. Just tell me what the hell you were thinking of trying to recuit mortals as being Sirens? Only Demeter can make them and it shall stay that way."
Without any clue, Zeus left me by myself with an open door, pooring in the cold rain. I sigh, closing and locking the door hoping no other god would be here tonight. Oh wait, what was I thinking? They could just poof in here any time they'd like!
I sigh again hoping to relieve the stress but it keeps piling. "Why did my mother have to be the ultimate leader of Sirens? Why couldn't I be normal like a frikken mortal!" I whispered as I sank down the wall behind me.
Why would you want to be a mortal? Then you wouldn't be able to talk to me, a watery voice whispered. Poseidon. I know he's here just by the whisper and how cold the room had gotten. I stand up, waiting for him to appear out of nearby water.
But he didnt. I sigh, licking my dry lips to make them wet, "Poseidon, god of the seas, please show your self to me." Still, he didnt form in front of me, but I was positive it was Poseidon with that water like whis... Only one other god had a water like whisper and that was the king of death himself. "Hades! God of the Underworld, show yourself, you coward!"
Out of pure dust, a dark figure stands in front of me. Hades, the King of the Dead, was beautiful for such an ugly thing. His dark black eyes could draw you no matter if you liked blue eyes. His black hair was long that some came into his flawless face. It was weird that even I could fall for him... Not! Like I would ever like a monster like him; he was as beautiful as death.
I shake my head with anger and frustration, "Hades! Why did you do that to me? I would take Ares over you any day now instead of the other way around. Thanks for getting most hated!" I blush with fury as he just laughs, a deep growling laugh.
He shakes his head, laughing a little more until he stopped to talk, "Teles, my beautiful Siren, I always like to have my jokes when I can. So... why are you looking for mortals to become Sirens?" He made himself at home as he sat on the couch, streching his legs out on the coffee table. What didnt help was the tight black t-shirt and the black jeans.
"Hades, why in the Underworld would you want to know whats going on in my life? It's not like you ever helped in any way possible." I huffed at him, picking his feet off the coffee table.
He looks up in my blue eyes and smirks the slightest bit, "I have always been intrested after your mother's death. And now it's actually my time to help. I am willing to purpose a deal."
"I would rather slit my wrists and ask for Demeter to kill--"
"It's about your mother..." What's up with people inturupting me today? But instead I ignored the thought and looked him straight into the eyes. The pitch black pain-loving eyes seem to taunt me. Sitting on the coffee table, I say:
"Go on."
Okay, sorry if its crappy but its like 1255am where I am at. I have been trying to come up with an idea for a few hours and I apologize if it sucks. Tell me what I need to work on and I will be forever happy! Anyways, comment and vote and read! See ya ~Lexie
