Chapter 11: Sirens and Silkies

Bubbles P.O.V.

It felt so weird going through that portal thingy, it felt as if I was being pushed through gelatin; at least I didn't open my mouth I thought to myself with a giggle. Purgatory didn't seem that bad, but it did look really scary. There was red and black everywhere which just made everything seem so intense.

"Here we are angel" Boomer says giving me a charming smile and I gulp.

"S-so what exactly am I suppose to do here?" I ask stuttering just a bit as my gaze swept over the land. Boomer squeezed my hand for support as Haru began to speak.

"You're here to slay the new wannabe rulers or supervisors of this place. As you should know Purgatory is a place of redemption. These new rulers have the souls of this place doing horrific things which makes the soul's sentence here go on longer than it was suppose to" Haru answers.

"Also be careful here many demons linger here for a while, if they see you, you'll die just like that so stay close to us. We don't want to lose you I'm saying this not to scare you, but to warn you" Boomer says and my eyes dilate and I let out a small whimper keeping in my tears. I can't let them know I'm scared, they'll label me as a crybaby just like Buttercup always did I thought to myself trying to stay strong and be brave.

"O-okay" I say letting the stutter slip in and I look down seeing a something other than my school uniform. I wore a dark blue Victorian styled dress with black ribbons and lace, that opened up in the front to show off my legs, and was long in the back; my legs were covered by black leather pants; with thigh high black boots with a long skinny heel on it; my hair wasn't in its normal pigtail, but it was down instead, but with two pieces of blue ribbon in it; and for some reason my back felt really heavy. "What's on my back?" I whimper my voice quavering a bit scared there might be some demon on my back.

"Your fallen angel wings, guess you really are the girl we were looking for, do you think your brothers found their targets?" Haru asks as he gently stroked my black wings that were tipped blue.

"Half brothers, Haru, half" Boomer answers a bit irritated for some reason. "They probably already have being father's favorites they were specially trained unlike me" he says and then sighed and glanced into my eyes for a brief second and then looked away. "There's also that thing with our fiancé's, this is the only way to get out of it and they are worth then death itself" Boomer says with a shiver and I became slightly confused.

"So are you um, using me for your personal gain?" I ask him looking back and forth from him to Haru and they both violently shake their heads.

"No I'm not, it's just we really need you to destroy her. She's one of the three rulers of this place" he says.

"That and she's a total bitch and he wouldn't want her as his wife, hell no man would she's a total man eater literally at times" Haru says and Boomer elbows him in the gut.

"I'm not really sure I could kill her though it's just not in my nature" I say looking down at my feet.

"You'd be doing this place a huge favor if you don't do this then she'll just continue her killing spree" Boomer says.

"Well, if you say that then I guess I could help" I say and the two smile at me.

"Wonderful, now let's go before something dangerous happens I' getting the jitters" Haru says and instead of holding my hands they loop their arms through mine and we begin to walk.

"So how long exactly is this journey for us?" I ask them after our few minutes of silence.

"About a week's time if we continue on foot during daylight, if by chance we find a horse it would only 3 days" Boomer answers and my pace began to slow down. 7 days? I'm going to have blisters on top of blisters I thought to myself glumfully.

I started to hear singing and I looked around "do you guys hear that?" I whisper to them.

"Hear what?" Haru asks arching an eyebrow.

"The voices people are singing, do you not hear them?" I ask my arms suddenly dropping to my sides. Their voices were so alluring, so beautiful I felt a need to tell them how wonderful their voices were. My feet soon began to move on their directly to the place I heard them singing. I heard Haru and Boomer call and chase after me, but I blocked them out hoping only to hear the voices of those amazing singers.

"Angel of blue will certainly die by water. The angel of green will most definitely die by the plants of the forest. The angel of red will positively die by the fiery hatred of our mistress. Long live our cruel and evil masters" They sang again and again until it suddenly became dead silent. I stopped in my tracks as I then began to rub my eyes. When I opened them I saw an eerie looking lake that was pretty much black instead of blue and in front of the lake was a black, sleek, and masculine looking horse.

I looked at it and a smile appeared on my face. "Guys look I found a horse" I say happily as I climbed on to the horse.

"Bubbles wait that's a-"

"Ahh" I scream in horror cutting Boomer off as some slimy black rope thing tied me to the horse as if I was riding it. I struggled and struggled trying to squirm free, but it just made it worse the ropes became tighter around me.

"That's a Silkie" he screamed at me and I slightly remembered that I had read something about them somewhere. They would lure a human to ride it and then use its tentacles to strap the rider on and drown the rider.

"Help me" I scream tears falling down my cheeks. I felt the Silkie beginning to trot into the lake. The boys looked worried about entering the water as if it would bite them. I saw Boomer calling my name over and over tears falling down his own cheeks. I soon entered the water with the monster and as we went deeper and deeper I slowly began to lose conscious.
