Hope you enjoy
Every night when I became human I would sing into the night. I hoped it would soften the heart of my capture, or that someone would hear me and come investigate. And one night Rothbart came down to the lake from his palace. I sat under a weeping willow as I sang a sad song of lost love and undying hope. He stayed off to the side watching me when I was finished he came over to me and spoke in a sweet voice.
"Oh Odette your songs have touched my heart and I will set you free." My heart lifted.
"If you agree to marry me." I stood up and glared at him, he looked at me unblinking.
"And, my answer will be I'll die first." Rothbart grabbed my hand I tried to pull away.
"Odette I love you." I tried to pull away but he held my hand tight.
"Marry me and I will give you everything your heart desires."
"Never." I hissed back, "I love Derek and he will always come for me." Rothbart ground his teeth and stalked away from me. He vanished into the shadows, I turned back to the lake and ran my fingers through my hair and felt the feathers that grew from the nape of my neck the one permanent reminder of Rothbarts power over me. I began to sing again but as I closed my eyes I began to see images of Derek. He was walking in the gardens of his castle. I sang louder the image became clearer.
He stopped walking and looked around. I sang his name he looked around and yelled
"Who's there?" I tried to yell back but nothing came out I had to sing everything I wanted to say.
"Odette." I sang out. He looked hurt he looked in the bushes and said,
"Brom this isn't funny." I tried to touch him but there was a barrier that kept us apart. I stopped singing and the image faded.
I was sitting by the lake Speed and Jean-Bob where staring at me. I felt tires running down my face I quickly wiped them away.
"What is it?" Speed asked
"I'm not sure." I said but that moment had felt so real I began to wonder if there was more to Rothbarts spell and if some of his magic had been given to me.
Derek's point of view
I walked through the garden thinking of Odette. The necklace in my hand then I heard it, a distant voice sweet and soft. It sounded like her but my mind must have been tricking me. The voice became louder and clearer. I paused and looked around. I heard the voice call my name it was Odette but it couldn't be why didn't she show herself.
"Who's there?" No reply then the voice sang out Odette. I turned around I looked in the bushes there was no one there. Brom was taking this joke too far.
"Brom this isn't funny." There was no more sound the voice was gone. I walked back into my room. Tomorrow I was planning on putting my bow to good use and practicing the musicians won't be too happy with me.
