"My....isn't that charming...all aboard the TROY are soundly asleep...as the old
saying goes, 'the calm before the storm'...so shall be their fate...."
Circe smiled as she turned her globe. Dripping some blood onto the area where the sea near Romania was (the TROY was a day or two away from their destination), she giggled. She hoped the sirens could succeed where Erik failed-if not, she could have some fun watching the humans fight for their puny lives...
The sirens began to sing in an unearthly sweet voice. The men-including Carl and Gabriel- walked out to listen to them, entranced. The women tried to snap them back to reality, while Anna tried to steer the ship away from dangerous rocks. Shirra and Raven tried to fight the unearthly chanteuses. Tae and the other women tried to save their men-literally.
"I'll steer the ship, you rouse the men!"
Iilana ordered the women.
Carl was giggling like a little girl- until Anna punched his lights out, dragging him away from the siren kissing him.
"Sorry,"
she muttered before throwing him to one side. She pushed a siren away from Gabriel-only to fall on top of him, her lips meeting with his! Pushing him away, she ran back to her cabin and grabbed her scimitar before fighting the sirens, along with Tae, Shirra and Raven.
As for Iilana-Circe had chosen a special siren named Vice for HER- she talked towards a particular siren, tears in her eyes.
"Mama?"
That siren 'turned'into her mother.
"Come my angel..have you forgotten me so?"
"Is it really you? How-
"Let me hold you my darling..."
As Iilana threw herself into her 'mother's arms, the siren TRANSFORMED.
The men were instantly alert. Gabriel ran to his cabin to grab his trusty Tojo blades and crossbow.
The beautiful woman 's nose became elongated, her ears pointed, her sweet voice an ugly shriek-and she became an old hag-with wings. Grabbing Iilana's neck, she shrieked,
"Sisters! Let us feast on the fools here while I break the here wench's neck!"
"Not so,"
growled Gabriel, aiming his crossbow at the siren. Anna batted it aside.
"No! You might hurt Iilana!"
"Are you suggesting his aim is bad?"
asked a groggy Carl.
"Oh be quiet you two!"
All turned to see a tired Tae.
"You," she said, pointing to Gabriel and Carl.
"Protect the TROY. As for Anna and me-
Shirra and Raven growled, angry at being left out.
Rolling her eyes, she added,
"-AND Shirra and Raven will go save Iilana. Now GO!"
Gabriel was in his element. Come to think about it, so was Anna. Both slew the sirens at full speed while the others cowered where they were. Shirra and Raven too were good. Several sirens were brought down by they deemed as 'mere cats'. Anna and Tae waited for the right moment to act while watching the defiant Iilana struggle with Vice. Then, Tae yelled,
"Iilana! Catch this!"
A katana flew towards her-Iilana caught it and in seconds unsheathed it-and cut off Vice's leg. Vice shrieked in pain as Iilana fell into the sea. Before she could swim back to the TROY however, Vice grabbed her with both hands, threw the sword away from her grasp, and with one clawed hand, slashed the right side of her face, leaving five claw marks. Blood trickled into the sea, attracting sharks.
"Iilana!"
cried Carl, along with the ladies in horror. But Iilana winked-she had a trick up her sleeve.
"Rest be assured...I will cry for you after you die-
In seconds, Iilana 's hand-in demon form- stuck out of Vice's chest, holding her black heart.
"..But I won't."
With that, she crushed the heart, black blood spraying her marred face. Vice exploded into bits and pieces, sending a wave over the TROY, drenching all the passengers. The sharks from below were hungry but knew better than to attack the fierce predator above them. Leaping out of the water, she grew wings, retreived Tae's sword and returned on deck. In moments, she became human again-and wished she didn't. So did Anna. You see, Anna was wearing a somewhat translucent nightdress when the sirens appeared-and Iilana white clothes- and we all know what happens when both are wet...
Anna and Iilana took quite a while to realise that their fine forms were on display to all the males aboard the TROY. Gabriel-drenched and all- just gaped at her, the water falling from his mouth resembling saliva. Carl had no problems doing the former, wet or not.
"Get your Minds Out Of The Gutter!!!"
All the ladies yelled. Iilana just chuckled. At that, all the passengers fled to one side.
"Demon..."
they whispered.
To their surprise, Iilana laughed-a sad one.
"Night, all..."
she said, before leaving for her cabin to treat her scarred face. All were silent.
Morning came. Iilana got her things and was prepared to leave the boat along with the others when she heard,
"Miss Iilana!"
She stopped and turned around. Her fringe now strategically covered the right side of her face, adding a dash of mystery to her.
"Yes, Evangeline?"
She adored the little angelic child, with her chocolate-colored ringlets and her azure-blue eyes. Little Evangeline had amused her with jokes, funny stories and so on and so forth. But yesterday, the child had hid herself in her mother's dress after Iilana had killed Vice. Today, she looked chastened, full of remorse. She motioned for Iilana to bend down-and gave her a kiss when she did.
"Take this-its for you,"
she added.
"Oh Evangeline, I can't take your rose pendant, its yours."
"And it is mine to give away. Goodbye, Iilana. I know you're not a bad person. I'll miss you."
With that, she ran off. Tears filled Iilana's eyes as she slipped on the pendant. Angels certainly existed...and she had just met one.
Circe smiled as she turned her globe. Dripping some blood onto the area where the sea near Romania was (the TROY was a day or two away from their destination), she giggled.
