Chapter VII- The Siren

Christine was jerked out of thought as she reached the lake. She was unsure of her physical strength to pole the boat to her destination on the other side. She had hoped that the Siren wouldn't try to stop her. He told her long ago that the Siren doesn't do well with unexpected visitors.

Halfway across the lake she felt a jerk. She wished it were nothing. She felt another soon; Christine tried to keep her balance and held on to the pole for support. She felt the boat slowly tip and fell straight into the water. Her dress was making her slowly sinking under. She prayed that this wasn't going to be the way of the end. Determinedly she opened her eyes under water only to see a feminine figure staring back at her.

"Why have you come?" A strange voice inside her mind inquired. She was watching the Siren whose lips remained unmoved. "Answer me, enlighten me with your reason. I have yet to hear one that would make me spare your life." Her eyes bored into Christine.

Christine opened her mouth to answer but only to find that her lungs were filling up with water. Logically she came upon the conclusion that she would have to answer with her mind. "I have come…" She couldn't really put into words why she had come but she knew she would have to try.

"You have come why? Trespassing is not a nice thing you know."

Her own voice in her head stuttered, "I…I have come to look for him."

"The master hasn't been in for quite some time, his whereabouts I do not know. Even if I did know, why should I reveal them to you?"

"I miss him, terribly. I wanted to talk to him. To be in his arms again. I love him." Christine felt her heart ache at the words. "I need him."

The Siren wasn't used to this sort of heartfelt response. She had never before seen such a sincere person telling her of their true desires to get across her lake. All of the ones that were now dead due to drowning by her own hands, told her what they thought she wanted to hear to make her let them go, but in the end she saw right through them. This one told her of her love for the masked man that her waters carried back and forth. It truly touched her.

"Young one, if I am not mistaken, which I rarely am I assure you, you have seen me before a while back, is that correct?" Christine nodded. "You were then accompanied by the master, were you not?" The girl nodded again. "From this conclusion, I would have to assume that you are on friendly terms with him now by the way you spoke of him earlier, and your reasons are sincere enough. Therefore, I am letting you go. From now on, consider me as humbly as a friend and servant to you both. No water of my control shall ever harm you.If there is anything I can assist you with, I will gladly doeverything within my power. Take care."

The last thing Christine saw was the Siren encouragingly smiled on her. She resurfaced and climbed her way back in the boat. She looked down upon the lake, as she stood. There was nothing but murky water floating about.

A/N: What do you think? I had to include the Siren, she is not as bad of character as many make her out to be but I just had to use her. She is more mysterious than Erik is. Anyways, like I said, Please review for if you do, I will update.
