Ridley Duchannes, meet... Drew Tanaka

I took a long suck at my red lollipop before looking around.

I didn't care exactly where I was I. Everywhere, men are the same. They all want one thing and I had learnt long ago how to deal with that. The Darkness tempts even the most strong willed of them. Sometimes I feel sorry for them, but I don't for long. I walked around the streets looking for my next target, preferable someone rich that could shower me with gifts.

I recognized now where I am. Fifth Avenue. La creme de la creme when it comes to fashion and money. I should be able to find someone around. I immediately spotted my target, but he was with his arm wrapped around a young girl, who looked like she was doing the same as me, except for the little magic. I decided to make him my next victim.

"Hello, handsome... Buy me a drink?" I started, smiling at him, obviously ignoring the girl he was with. I couldn't focus on his face, after a while men all look the same. I could see the desire on his eyes, but there was something that didn't fit in place.

"Stop" A very compelling voice spoke up and I was tempted to do so. What was this magic? I was standing still, but fighting the order, even if I didn't know where it came from "How dare you to try to manipulate my boyfriend?!" Oh, so it came from the girl... Wait, she was no witch! Since I was still fighting innerly, I couldn't see her properly "Look at me" My head turned immediately to see the girl.

She was medium hight, with a sleeveless shirt that was tied up above her midriff, in a very bright orange color. Her jean skirt was a tube one, with sandals and showed off her tan skin, even though it didn't match her facial structure. Her black ebony hair was fish braided and she had accessories around, like earrings and bracelets that complemented her looks quite nicely.

But I wasn't saying that to those glaring kaleidoscope eyes.

I finally fought the compulsion. What was that...? She wasn't with the Darkness, I could feel it in her. I looked her up and down, with a raised eyebrow.

"You have guts, girl... I respect you for that..." I started talking, buying my time and hoping that would make her forget everything "Not a lot of girls can stand up to me like that, except my lovely cousin Lena..." Who I haven't seen in a while, but will pretty soon since she's close to her sixteen birthday, I added in my head.

"You haven't seen what it's standing up to you from me..." she threatened me, making me laugh. I obviously thought it was too funny, no woman had ever managed to defeat me, especially when it comes to men.

"Darling, you have no idea who you're talking to..."

"On contraire, mademoiselle... You have no idea who you're up against..." she took a step closer to me, trying to intimidate me "I could make your biggest nightmares come true and force you to do your biggest fears..."

"I would love to see you do that..." I challenged her, but I suddenly regret it when I saw the feral smile on her face.

"You don't want to tempt me, darling" she mocked me, still with that smile in her face "You want a challenge? This is my challenge: Fall in love!" The order was there and I suddenly had the need of looking for someone. I didn't like it, I was a Siren! I'm no ordinary mortal! "You can use your powers but you will fall in love and you won't be able to admit it" she continued, smirking.

I glanced her one last time, before leaving her presence.

I was sure it will never happen.

I don't know how long had passed before I saw the girl again.

She was still the same, with different clothes, but still the same. I felt fury when I saw her and decided to let her know, no matter who she was with.

"You! It's all your fault!" I shouted at her. The girls she was with looked shocked and were about to interfere when she stopped them "Take it off! Make it go away!"

"Drew, what is she talking about? What did you do?!" One of them accused her, serious. The girl, Drew, hadn't taken her eyes off me and looked repentant.

"I made her fall in love" she replied, sighing. The other two girls looked confused, as if they didn't know what was happening "I forced her to fall in love- that was before! I swear!" she raised her hands in defence, when she saw one of the girl's glare on her.

"Drew, you have to fix it..." I nodded at the girl, desperately. I didn't want to feel that way again. He had broke my heart and couldn't even admit it to myself, it was more than painful "I know a heartbreak is a painful experience, but you cannot force one!"

"She was compelling by then-boyfriend, what did you expect me to do?!" she fought back.

"Sirens do that, Drew" I looked at them, shocked by the simple and easy way they had mentioned it. How...? "Are you gonna blame her for doing her nature? True, we kill Sirens but it's not her fault and you punished her enough..." I was suddenly scared by the 'kill' comment, but didn't show it. The eyes if the girl were on me.

"Is he all you ever hoped before being this?" I blinked at the unexpected question.

"I suppose he is- was"

"You will make up with him" she ordered me, before her eyes softened "It won't be easy and it won't be quick... But you two will be fine..."

I apologize if my portrait of Ridley is OOC, but I've never read The Caster Chronicles before and I based her on what information I pulled from its wiki page.
