Hate me, love me, kiss me

Seeing something new

I walk through the doors of the hospital thinking about the events that happened tonight. What else is in this world I don't know about? I pealed apart a fake reality to expose what it really looks like, and I don't know I did that.

 That place is killing people like me, I look down at my hands, so what am I? I should have helped those other people, they were screaming and calling out for someone too save them. Now I can't return. The only answer I have is where the ring is. I wanted this to save my brothers life and give to Simon; but what if I did give it to him, what would he use it for? 

"Siren?" 

"Never trust anybody"' I heard from in my voice. I can't even trust my brother?I smile and give him a hug. 

"Your okay!" He exclaimed. I smile and nod my head spinning around and showing him just how okay I am.  I laugh as he give me another hug. 

I am sent back into my room for another night, Ryan cannot stop talking, give it I've been away the longest today, he must have so much to say. Where am I going to hide the ring? I can't let anyone know I have it, not even those I have trusted. Alan, Stetson, and Carter emerge from the corner talking amongst themselves not knowing Ryan was standing there too. Time for a little prank I might take a little far.  I 'try' and get up but they try and stop me 'they' being the Davis brothers. 

I try when there not looking and stand on my feet, automatically dropping to the floor. Carter comes to my 'rescue' 

"STOP!" I yelled, trying not to hold in the laughter. 

"I'm tired of being paralyzed. maybe I can force them to work," I get up from the floor but fall again until finally I get up and move my feet. Alan, Stetson and Carter, drop there hands from being crossed- I begin to run from one end of the room to the other. I turn around and say,

"Surprise." I thought I was laughing loudly, Ryan breaks out in full force. He is Literally rolling on the floor laughing. I look over at carter who is the only one taking this moment seriously. He looks offended that I turned this into a joke. He quickly hurries out of the room, I throw my arms slightly and slap them against my jeans. 

I decide to run after him, he runs into the garden room and I reached it before he blinded the room and locking the door. 

"Carter!" I called out. Doing a fast walk to catch up to him. He takes his hands and brushes them through his hair, he isn't very good at the whole emotion thing. It almost seems to much like someone is writing the script because it has begun to rain at this perfect moment. I grab carters shoulder, he's burning up. I pull him to look at me. 

"What is wrong with you?" I ask shaking my head. His chest is moving up and down rapidly. He then shakes his head. 

"You don't get it do you?" He tells me. The rain is pouring now, I can barely look at him without the constant drips in my face. 

"What do I not get?" I said in an irritated voice trying to yell over the thunder. 

"All of this. I did that to you, I've nothing but hurt you Serenity." He yells. But I disagree. 

"You never meant to, besides that doesn't matter, can't you hear me? Read my lips carefully Carter, I don't care." He shakes his head again, pushing his tongue against his lip. 

"I killed you parents." He stated. He did what? No, that can't be possible- I saw the men who did it. I saw the man who- 

"I was the one who sedated you, when I saw you hit your head on the table, you just came at the wrong time. If you would have just waited a little longer-" 

"Don't say it Carter." His brown hair hanging over his forehead like he styled them to be bangs. I brush them from his eyes with my fingers. He's testing me, I can feel it. He wants to know if what I said was true, it most certainly is. 

"No one deserves hate, not even you." I repeated. It's true, no one deserves the hate we give. There could be a reason for everyone's actions but we just never know what the reason is. There is no excuse for the death of my parents, but Carter is just trying to please the people he loves. My Mother and Father weren't the best people in the world and probably in another life deserved it. 

I can see the love in Carters eyes, he loves his family very much. I could feel the warmth from his tears hitting my palms I care for him in so many ways that I don't think anyone can understand. 

"You smell different," He said. Smell? I didn't know I smelled?

A N E W Y O U

I never thought of the day I'd be a college athlete. I look down at the roster, with my life the way it is, it would be like asking the bad guys to come on inside for a drink. I don't want to give up my dream of being in the Olympics someday. But I have to keep this ring safe, I look down at my necklace. I don't even know what this does. I look at my book, I should go to the library and return this, well, I do remember Stetson saying he wanted to read it when I was finished. Maybe I'll check it out again for another month and check out a second.

I open the library door and head down the stairs to the historical non-fiction section. Now that I know most supernatural things are real, I'm interested in more. Especially by this Author. 'Forest J. W", she tells the story like she was there. I get to the section and search through the ones I haven't read, 

"A special Fay: A Sirens duty" How interesting, this book is different from the others. The others never had a title, just an image or symbol. I grab this off the shelf and flip through the pages, this book doesn't show a picture of a mermaid or a fairy. I definitely have to take this book with me. I quickly rush over to the desk and place my two books on the counter. 

"How are you doing today," I grab my card from my wallet and place it on the desk and look up.

"AHH!" I scream backing up. It's head is tilt to the side. I blink and see Jocelyn, the regular librarian. I apologies to her and grab my books. What the hell was that? It was like a crow or something, oh my gosh, am I going insane? I breath out, deeply. I stuff the books in bag, I started to hear a crow calling my name, I look behind me and it's following me. I start walking quicker and quicker up the starts eventually running. I grab my phone from my purse and call the first number that pops up, my heart is racing. 

"Serenity?" Alan says,

"There is a fu*king crow head chasing me!!" 

"Serenity are you okay?" He asks. 

"IT HAS A HUMAN BODY!" I yelled in to the phone. I get into my car and lock the doors.  I look in every mirror I have, I think it's gone. 

*BOOM* 

I was wrong! I am so wrong! It is on my window! ow, sh*t! I pull out the necklace that is glowing orange, I look down my shirt and notice the deep burn on my chest plate. What the hell? The necklace makes a weird noise then shoots a beam of light at the crow head and the thing disperses. I scream and drop it, it hits my shirt and returns to it's blue glowing light. 

I get out of my car and examine the hole in my window, that is going to be a hard one to explain. What the hell is happening. 

"look at you, you smell amazing." A woman says behind me. I turn around, she has brown hair and very wide curves. There is a beauty mark under her chin on the right side. She's covered in tattoos, they look like random marks, but in this world I never underestimate what my eyes witness. I will never look at a crow the same way. 

"Who are you?" I ask. She smiles and extends her hand, 

"My name is Aayada Davis." Aayada Davis? As in like, related to Alan, Stetson and Carter? What does she want with me? I saw a very familiar face step out of the black, Alan. 

"Aaya, you're scaring her." He walks over to me and holds my hand. Wasn't I just on the  phone with him? 

"Alan, I can see why you like her, she's so... intoxicating." I look at him, who the hell is she? She looks much older than Alan, and obviously his brothers. 

"Serenity, this is my older sister, Aayada Davis. The Successor of my mother."

"and  was she delicious." She smiles as she licks her lips. Gross! She ate her own mother! I cover my mouth and surpress my vomit. This is going to be a very long road ahead.
