ask for It.” asked Rhea.
    “ So you come back begging for help. I
don’t know if you’re worth my time.” The woman seemed to take joy
in teasing Rhea.
    “ Naaz, please do not do this.” Rhea
added.
    “ Is that anyway to talk to your dear long
lost friend ?”
    “ A lot has happened and we need your
help.”
    “ Yes, I have been watching you very
closely, but I don’t know if I can trust you again.”
    The raven haired woman walked closer towards
us and came into the dying light that was the sun. She too was a
sight of beauty, soft dark skin that was flawless with dark cherry
coloured lips. Her eyes were dark, but with a hit of redness thrown
in and they seemed to hold a lot of history behind them.
    “ Don’t play games Naaz.” Rhea
said.
    “ I’m not doing anything, I’m just-..”
The woman stopped mid sentence. “You!” Her eyes found mine and I
felt terror rise inside my body like bile.
    “ Siren’s are forbidden!” She said out
loud. The dark haired woman threw out her hand and my body was
dragged towards her. She lifted me in the air inches away from her
face.
    “ Do you think you can deceive me? I
could smell her miles away, the stink is all over her.” She
spat.
    “ Rhea!” I called out for her
help.
    She did not look my way. She remained locked
onto the dark beauty.
    Marcus rushed towards me but with a flick of
the woman’s wrist he was sent spiraling off in the opposite
direction.
    “ Stop it!” I yelled.
    She ignored me and continued to address
Rhea.
    “ Have you been naughty, Rhea? You know
Siren’s are forbidden.” The woman giggled to herself and her eyes
were truly terrifying.
    She again waved her wrist and pain flooded
through my body. My muscles sized up as the pain wormed its way
throughout my body. I screamed out in agony while the woman laughed
at my torment. I tried to fight through the pain as best I could
but it was a losing battle. I wanted to call out to Rhea I didn’t
have the energy.
    “ That’s enough!” Rhea
ordered.
    “ Remember your place!” Naaz
spat.
    Rhea gathered a light that slowly coiled
around her hand.
    There was a look from Naaz that could turn
you flesh into stone. She then released her hand and I fell to the
floor. Marcus rushed towards me and bent down to pick me up but I
filched away from him.
    “ What is wrong with you?!” Marcus
yelled at Naaz but she ignored him and continued her icy stare
towards her old friend.
    Rhea stared down at me and I didn’t know what
to say, I thought I could trust her but it was slowly fading away.
Did she know this would happen?
    “ You may stay a few days, no more, no
less.” Naaz took one last look at me and walked away.
    I picked myself up, hoping there was no
internal damage. Rhea then held out her hand and I paused for a few
seconds before grabbing it. She helped me up and I felt her healing
glow throughout my beaten body. Did she think that everything was
ok? I get beaten while Rhea stands back, and then she rushes in
like everything is ok? I found my trust in her being eroded
away.
    I carried myself into the nearest room that
luckily had a roaring fire. I lowered myself into the nearest chair
that wasn’t filthy and curled up into a ball and felt like crying,
but I held it in as best I could.
    The group shuffled in after me and started to
talk in hushed tones.
    “ What the hell was that about?”
whispered Marcus.
    “ I’m sorry you all had to go through
that. It’s me that she is after and she’s trying to do it through
you.” Rhea explained.
    I wanted to ignore her words. I wanted to be
alone.
    “ Are we safe here?” Marcus
asked.
    “ Just leave it to me.” She
replied.
    “ But are we safe here?” Marcus asked
again.
    “ I hope so.” Rhea finally
answered.
    “ Are you ok Ellie?” Sophia sat down
onto the carpet next to the sofa.
    “ I’m fine.” I lied.
    “ I’m sorry you had to go through that,
if there’s anything you need or if you want a chat I’m here for
you.”
    I
