Thanks for the reviews :). Aight so if you have any questions, hit me up, if it pertains to the story, or if i've forgotten something, ill add it up here, cuz after its all done, i'm gonna print out my story and get it bound :).

The last chapter was a little small :/ srry bout that. I wanted to save writing the exciting part till after my exams, but neway, turns out this chapter ended up becoming longer than i expected(still not done with it :P) so i split it up. So here we go.


Chapter 3:-

First thing I noticed on entering the pool: it was empty(My mind went to overdrive, because I thought maybe, just maybe, it was only gonna be me and a bunch of hot girls).

Then a voice called out from behind. "Bolden?"

I spun around. "Chris? What are you doing here?"

"I was supposed to rendezvous with Tiffany here. Why are you here?" he demanded.

Great. My vision shattered. Obviously they had planned this whole thing so that I could become a further source of laughter. I decided I had to get out before it was too late.

"Took a wrong turn" I mumbled, as I headed out the door. "Have fun"

Just as I was about to yank the door open and run out of there, I heard a voice.

"Hey guys!"

The voice was hard to describe. It was beautiful, it sounded like singing, soft, slow, smooth, and I swear I could hear soft music in the background. Right then, I wanted nothing more than to listen to that voice.

I grinned stupidly. And Chris called out "Tiff, is that you?"

Then I saw them. Both of them, sitting on a rock right in the middle of the deep end of the pool, except it wasn't exactly a pool anymore, on our side it was fine, but towards the other end it seemed to grow, become more expansive, almost like a little mini ocean. The girls were sunning themselves on the rock (though were the sun was coming from I had no idea, it was an indoor pool). They were so breathtaking in their bikinis that I felt compelled to take a few steps forward.

"Thats it," they purred, "Come join us. It'll be fun"

My mind was completely filled with that voice. Fun. Of course it would be. I started to shuffle forward.

"Come on now, a little closer" Oh man, I loved that voice.

I was just about to jump in when the doors slammed open and Victorie charged in along with this guy one year younger than us I'd seen in the hallways. He had a funny hop when ever he walked and was the only person who was allowed to wear a hat in school. It was like the teachers never seemed to notice it.

"Alex, Be careful, they're not hum-" Then she stopped when she saw me, frozen in a stupid mid-dive pose.

Then she saw the girls in the middle of the rock, but it seemed to mean more to the other guy with her..

He swore. "Not good, seriously not good. They're not supposed to be able to travel this far."

"Ummm, Glen, you said they weren't human so what are they then?" Victorie asked.

"Sirens" he stated, pulling out a set of reed pipes, "we need to get these guys away, if they're under the siren's spell, they'll won't realize they're about to die until they're getting eaten.

He started playing a song, and my head started clearing a bit. Victorie grabbed the back of my shirt and started pulling. Glen ran over and wrapped an arm around Chris' neck and started pulling him back too. They had barely dragged us two steps back when Sarah, and Tiffany wailed.

"Come back!" they cried. "Don't leave us".

"Don't worry, I'm not going to" I heard Chris shout back, struggling to get free. "Let go of me dude, can't you see she wants me?"

Well no way I was going to let him be the only one with those two hot girls so I immediately redoubled my efforts to escape.

I heard Glen grunt, like he was having a hard time handling Chris. I must've been trying really hard myself, because I felt Victorie's arms around my arms, trying to hold me back.

"Just a little swim, Alex, whats wrong with a little swim."

"Yeah, Victorie, whats wrong with a little swim"(That was me, adding my own helpful thought to the matter).

"Alex, no. Don't. Alex, she'll eat you. Alex! Alex!" she was getting frustrated. But that voice was irresistible.

Then with a woot of pleasure, Chris managed to break loose. Immediately, Tiffany slid off the rock into the water, changing, becoming more streamlined as she did so, till she finally seemed to grow a tail and move with the flow of the water. With in seconds she was at the our side, arms outstretched.

"Thats it, Chris, come to me"

"Chris! Chris" I could hear Victorie and Glen shouting out, but their voices seemed so distant. He leaned over the edge of the pool, his face getting closer and closer to hers. She leaned forwards, her hands gracefully touching the sides of his face. It seemed so romantic that I wished I was in his place.

Then, suddenly, the door burst open again, and what I was seeing couldn't be possible. Mr. Brunner, the man I was so used to seeing in his wheelchair, was towering over me. And he seemed to be riding a horse. No, that wasn't right, he was the horse, atleast his lower half was.

In a flash he had a bow drawn and four arrows whistled as they struck Tiffany. With an anguished wail, she disappeared into a shower of golden dust. Mr. Brunner ran over (well, trotted over anyway) and grabbed Chris and hurried back.

"My sister! You killed my sister" Sarah was screeching. She began to change, and immediately she became more like a mermaid. A thousand times more deadly, and yet so much more beautiful. "You killed her and I'll kill you."

She dived into the water, and started swimming to the other side. Mr. Brunner let loose more arrows, but they all seemed to loose momentum as they hit the water. Within a flash she was on our side of the pool and the water seemed to carry her up, like she was riding a giant wave.

"Lets go" Mr. Brunner commanded. "We have to get out of here"

He galloped out the door, grabbing me along the way. Victorie and Glen at his heels (well hooves), and Sarah the killer mermaid girl gliding on the water behind them. As soon as they cleared the door it slammed shut, and I could hear Sarah on the other side, banging on the door.

"We should get going, she won't be getting out of there for a while" Mr. Brunner said, heading back to his office.

"How do you know that?" Victorie asked, shivering. I could tell that episode had freaked her out.

"Magic" he replied simply. "now inside, all of you". And he dropped Chris and I on the rug in his office.

We were both a little groggy, but I could hear normally now, (which was weird because it hadn't felt like I'd lost my hearing in the first place), so I figured I was recovering

Chris was still out of it tho. He kept muttering "Tiffany...oh sweet Tiffany" over and over again.

"Mr. Brunner, Chiron, you're in...well...you're not in your wheelchair" Glen, stuttered "wouldn't it have been dangerous if someone had seen you, I mean the mist only hides so much".

"Speed was of the essence, I knew Chris and Alex were in trouble and I must say if I had reached a second late-"

"His mother would have been very annoyed, yes" came a very familiar voice from the doorway.

I turned, startled. "Mom?"
