Lottie's POV
"Lottie! Lottie!" I sat up and looked around. "Lottie!" Erik burst in to the room. "Let's go." He grabbed my wrist and practically dragged me out of the room.
"Erik," I felt slightly happy that my voice was no longer a whisper, it was back to normal. "Erik what are you doing?"
"Stay here for a moment." He grabbed a cape, I noticed he was dressed to go somewhere.
"Where are you going?"
"We are going to my home in Rouen." I was caught of guard.
"Why I thought we were stay here for a little while."
"We have been here long enough!" He bellowed, I stepped back timidly. Nadir stepped out of the library and glared at Erik.
"Erik you are scaring her." Erik looked at me then Nadir again.
"She's fine." He rushed up to me and placed his hand on my back pushing me to the boat at the shore of the lake.
"Erik what's happening why are we leaving." He was silent and just kept pushing me. "Erik." He still was quiet. I stopped walking. He tried to push me but I refused to budge. "Erik why are we leaving?"
"Lottie, do not try my patience." He said threateningly.
"Is that a threat? If you're going to threaten me like that then I'm not going anywhere with you." He stopped and looked at me.
"We have to go now, Lottie please." I sighed and went to the boat, this time he didn't push me.
"Erik please just tell,"
"Get in the boat." He picked me up and put me inside.
"Erik!" I yelled, a squeaky yell but I yelled. He glared at me. "If you are having a mood swing then I demand to stay here."
"No, you are coming with me." I gawked at him.
"No!" I said trying to climb back out of the boat. He had finished untying the boat from the dock and pushed away. "Erik go back! I want to stay!" He didn't say a word. "Erik!" Finally I was starting to get scared.
"Erik please, please go back. Why are you acting this way?" He sighed and looked at me as we exited his lair. "What about Nadir? How will he leave?"
"There is more than one exit, he knows his way around he will get out." I grumbled angrily.
"Erik can we just go back?"
"No." I was angry at this point.
"Fine, you leave but I'm going back." I jumped into the water.
"No!" Erik yelled. I began swimming. "Lottie! Get back in the boat! Now!." He stared to come back. He would swipe down at me trying to pull me back in the boat but I would swim away before he could reach me. "Lottie Please get in the boat!"
"No Er," I didn't get to finish. Instead I screamed as I felt a hand around my ankle.
"Lottie!" He screamed before the hand dragged me down. I was submerged in water and I couldn't tell which way was up. I looked at my ankle and saw what looked like person their eyes were all black. It was definitely the stuff of nightmares.
Their slimy hand wrapped tightly around my ankle. I tried to kick at the creature but it wrapped it's other hand around my other ankle. I let out what would have been a scream and I not been under water. Suddenly it let go of me and disappeared down below me. I looked up and saw Erik swimming towards me.
He grabbed my arm and hauled me up. Had he not been there in time I would have drowned. Finally he pulled me above the water. He helped me climb into the boat. "What was that?" I said between breaths.
"The Siren." He said climbing into the boat.
