"Siren song?" I raised both of my eyebrows "Like the one that can kill the sailors just by hearing it?"
Annabeth nodded furiously "Yes, but if you can survive that. You can get wiser"
I sighed when I heard that, Annabeth still wanted to hear the damn siren song. Like, she almost got killed by it in the story, and she only learn her fatal flaw, which is hubris. Yeah, she can learn from that, but still...with me here, who knows what will happened there. And I didn't want to hear the siren song since I didn't want to learn my heart desire. Why do you ask? I still didn't understand my purpose in this world, and why I'm even here right now, instead on the home, sitting on the couch while watched a marathon of my favorite T.V series with a big bowl of chips and a big bottle of coke.
"No" I said bluntly "I said we sail far away from that island" and I grumbled "I had enough of flying monster and almost lost my life because of monster."
"We are demigod!" Annabeth screeched "That's our life!"
"Oh really?" my right eye twitched "Do you even know how bad is it when monster tried to eat you alive for three days straight without a break?! And a weird combination of Mr. Freeze and Poison Ivy tried to recruit me into their mismatch team? Oh they also threatened to use some kind of brute force if I refuse. Plus yesterday a crazy old hag tried to turn me into some kind of rodent?" I rolled my eyes "yeah, blamed me if I want peace just for one freaking day!"
Annabeth blinked for a moment when she heard me rant, then she opened her mouth to speak.
"Are you just insert some of you weird knowledge in your rant? Really Mr. Freeze and Posion Ivey? Which movie are you quoting this time again?" she asked me.
I opened my mouth and closed it again, I rewind my previous words and groaned when I realized I just accidentally insert some villain name from other stories in here, again, for the god knows how many times I did that.
"Uh, did you really have to catch that part?" I asked in solemn tone "Like, seriously. I rant that long and you only caught the weird part when I mention some random villain names?"
Annabeth scowled a bit "Tch, I swear to god, sometimes you never cease to amaze me, like how could you sometimes be a smart, reasonable, mature, and wise guy. And sometimes, you just act so random, childish, stupid and unpredictable"
"Isn't random and unpredictable the same thing?" I asked.
Annabeth scowl went even deeper "Do you really have to focus on that?!"
"Hey! You did that before to me too!" I raised my voice.
Percy quickly stood between us, clearly sense the tension we created because of our own stupidity. Percy put his back on Annabeth and he put his hand on my chest, tried his best to push me back from invading Annabeth personal space.
"Whoa guys" he said while kept pushing me away "Just, don't fight okay"
"He's started it!" Annabeth yelled while reached her hand out to scratch me on my eyes, but couldn't because of the space that Percy created.
"You started it! If you never mention those human eating bird I won't do this!" I yelled back at her.
"I should let you got turned into a slave-rodent by Circe" she said.
"I should let you got melted by Hydra acid spit!" I spat back.
Percy got squeezed between us, like his face literally on my neck and Annabeth face near his neck. So, yeah his face turned bright red, like seriously red, both from embarrassment and well...Annabeth practically breathing on his neck, so yeah, I left that part into your dirty imagination. We kept arguing until I heard a faint of feminine voice from a distance, singing some kind of lullaby.
"Shit!" I cursed and covered my ear.
Percy quickly plugged his ear with both of his pointer finger, while glared at both of us
"This is your fault!" he screamed.
"La, la, la, la" I said out loud in sing song voice "I don't hear a thing!" I said loudly while plugged my ear with my pointer finger "La, la, la, la!"
Percy sent me weird looks "Oi! Don't sing! Your voice is bad!"
"Twinkle, twinkle little star.
How I wonder what you are.
Up above the world so high.
Like a diamond in the sky.
Twinkle, twinkle little star.
How I wonder what you are?"
I started to sing Twinkle, twinkle little star loudly and didn't give a single fuck if my voice is not as good as the voice of other Apollo kids.
Percy paled instantly and looks like he about to die, not from the siren song. But, from my voice.
"London Bridge is falling down,
falling down, falling down.
London Bridge is falling down.
My fair lady!"
I kept singing in loud voice and Percy already on the edge of falling down on his face into the wooden floor below. And Annabeth conflicted between unplugged her ear to hearing the siren voice, with a high chance of getting eaten and low chance to get wiser, and very high chance to murder me from ruining her moment.
But, hey, I just trying to survive! Is not like the siren going to come and killed me because I too loud, like a zombie. Right? Seriously, those siren aren't going to go aboard the ship just to kill me right?
"Seid ihr das Essen?
Nein, wir sind der Jäger!"
I started to sing a famous anime opening from my previous life.
Anyway, Percy already considering to jump away from the boat and swam to the Siren island, instead on the boat hearing my 'unique' voice. Annabeth already gone from the ship, probably sick of my voice. Wait, hang on, back up a little bit.
"HOLY CRAP!" I screamed for real and Percy already on the edge of the ship, slightly shaking from all the torture from my voice "Annabeth's gone!"
Percy finally understand the dire situation and quickly dive into the ocean below, leaving me dumbfounded on the boat. Like, the fuck?! I didn't even know how to ride a ship! I only know how to ride a bike and a car! Not a ship, well, I can drove a yacht, not to brag. But not this huge old ship which still used a wheel to maneuver it! I let out a shriek while ran like my life depend on it to the wheel and accidentally unplugged my ear. I froze when the siren song entered my ear, I quickly plugged my ear again.
"La, la, la, la" I did it again "I don't hear anything!" I continued "La, la, la, la!"
I quickly put my elbow on the steering wheel and tried to steer the ship around with my elbow. And amazingly I succeeded, with a huge grin I kept steering the ship until it already far away from the accursed Island. I quickly ran to the side of the ship when Percy already on board with a soaked Annabeth on his side. I wanted to brag about my new accomplishment, but a harsh slap from the truth made me realize something important. Totally forgot, that Percy is the one who drove the ship from underwater, not me. I quickly went sulking on my place and felt betrayed by the harsh truth.
Percy just stared at me with confused looks, didn't understand why I suddenly appeared in front of him and sulked in front of him too. Then, I felt a harsh smack on my head, I let out a low whine while glanced back and quickly froze when I saw Annabeth fuming behind me.
"YOU!" she screamed while pointed her finger at me "Your voice almost killed me!"
"Hey!" I shouted back "That's rude! My voice saved Percy okay! And maybe all of us!"
Annabeth grabbed my collar "Your voice is deadlier that those siren! And how on earth Apollo kids have a voice like a dying whale! Your father is a god of music for god sakes!"
"So what?!" I asked back "Maybe I inherit something else than his gold voice!"
"Yeah, your empty head for example. It's full of gas" Annabeth hissed.
"Are you asking a fight Wise girl?" I brought my face closer to her.
"Bring it on Air Head" Annabeth brought her face closer and our nose almost touch.
Percy quickly pulled me back from the fight "Guys! Seriously!"
"I can kill you with my 'killer-voice'" I said while smirked smugly.
Annabeth shivered visibly "Oh god. I never heard something so terrible in my entire life. I think, it leave a scar on me"
Percy nodded "Maybe we should tossed him when we passed an empty island. Let him created his own legend. Killing a man only with voice"
"Percy, you do know I'm standing right here right?" I asked him clearly offended "Those guys is way worse than me in singing"
Annabeth opened her mouth then closed it again, her eyes narrowed and I could hear her growled.
"So, do you get any wiser?" I asked her.
Annabeth flinched as she avoided my eyes and she mumbled something under her breath
"No, I just learn my own weakness or my fatal flaw" she mumbled but loud enough for me to hear "Hubris"
Percy only gave her a understanding looks, ah yes he did saw what she saw. I sighed and patted her on top of her head.
"It's okay. We all have flaw" I said "And that's normal. Like Percy with his head full of seaweed or me with my voice or should I say, Killer Voice"
Annabeth snorted then giggled "Yeah, I guess"
"My head is not full of kelp!" Percy protested
"Hush, you will ruin the moment" I silenced him
Annabeth laughed and shook her head " At least we can used you when we are out of option in fighting. Tossed him in the middle of enemy rank and let him sing"
"Darn it, if only back than with those damn bird, we knew about this. We can just let him sing, to chase the bird away and maybe traumatize Tantalus" Percy added.
"Hey!" I protested.
"Hush, don't ruin the moment" Percy silenced me as Annabeth laughed her lungs out.
