Second chapter out pretty quick. Huh. To the story!
Skylar opened her eyes to The Sirens coming in the front door. She rubbed her eyes.
"Back from a hunt?" she asked.
Adagio nodded. "Are you hungry?"
Skylar nodded. Adagio trotted over to the kitchen, opened the fridge , and looked around.
"Does toasted oats sound okay?" she asked.
"Mmm-hmm." Skylar began to get out of her hammock.
Sonata grabbed a pan and Aria got a wooden spoon. Adagio turned on the oven, Sonata sat down the pan, then Adagio poured in some oats, and Aria stirred them around. Skylar trotted over to the oven and took over the cooking. After they were done she put them on a plate and sat down. As she ate she asked The Sirens about their hunt.
"So..." she swallowed some oats. "What do you hunt for?"
"We feed off of..." Aria tapped her chin. "Emotions."
Skylar dropped her fork. "Are you guys... changelings?"
"What are 'changeling'?" Sonata questioned.
Adagio rolled her eyes and answered Skylar's question. "No, we may have similar biological diets, but we don't feed off of love. Quite the opposite really."
Skylar then remembered a creature her father had told her about that feed off of some kind of emotion. Not changelings, but something else, and the emotion helped them control ponies. "Hmm... My father told me about creatures like that. I can't quite remember what they were called, though. Daddy said that they were evil though. I don't think you guys are evil."
"You... don't?" Adagio asked.
Skylar nodded and continued to eat her oats. After finishing she looked up.
"What do you guys do... like, hobbies?" she asked.
Aria and Adagio tapped their chins, but Sonata immediately answered.
"We like to sing, and we're really good at it too! In fact, we can-"
Aria and Adagio quickly put their hooves on her mouth.
"Even sing in good harmony." Aria hastily finished.
"Cool! I like to sing too!" Skylar said.
"Can we hear you?" Sonata asked.
Skylar thought for a second. Them she thought of one song her mother used to sing to her before bed.
"Stars and moons and air balloons
Fluffy clouds to the horizen
I'll wrap you in raaaiiinnbows and rock you to sleep again"
Skylar smiled and looked at her new friends. "How was that?"
"You're a great singer." Adagio said.
"We should sing together." Sonata said
"Though your voice could use some work." Aria commented.
"Why don't we teach her." Adagio suggested.
Many months passed and Skylar soon fixed into a pattern. Every day the Sirens helped and taught her more about singing. She felt at home there, and like she was like one of the Sirens. One day, they were all out of solid food, but the Sirens were out on a hunt.
"They probably won't mind if I interrupt one hunt." she thought.
She trotted out in the direction that the Sirens usually took until she saw a silhouette of three figures floating in midair, singing, and red gems glowing on their necks. They sang in perfect harmony, and she then saw that their colors resembled the colors of her friends. Could they be...? Nah! As she go closer she saw that there were two ponies yelling at each other, and green mist being sucked into the gems.
"Well if you hadn't lost my keys!" one pony yelled.
"Oh so now you're blaming me?!" the other yelled back.
"You're the reason we're stuck here!" the first pony screamed.
The three creatures stopped singing and nodded to each other. They all flew off and Skylar quietly followed behind, wanting to know who these creatures were. Red flames circled around them as they turned into ponies. They looked familiar...
"No..." Skylar thought. "It... It can't be..."
"Adagio? Aria? Sonata?" she asked
Adagio turned around quickly. "S-Skylar? What are you doing here?"
"We ran out of solid food." Skylar said dully. "So what about you? How's your lunch going?"
"Um... We just finished, Sky." Sonata said quickly, followed by a cheesey smile.
"Tell me you guys are, really." Skylar looked at them with pleading eyes. "I thought I knew you. But I don't. Why don't you tell me who you guys are?"
Adagio breathed in. "The creature your father described is called a Siren. We are the only three remaining ones of our species..."
Adagio, Aria, and Sonata finished telling Skylar about their past. She looked at them with horror.
"So you never cared about me?" she asked saddly.
"No, no, no, no, no, no." Adagio put a hoof on Skylar's shoulder. "We love you, you're like the fourth sister we never had."
"Yeah, you've been so kind and nice to us." Sonata added.
"And you haven't complained once about us." Aria also added.
"I-I-I don't know what to think." Skylar said and then ran off into the forest.
