Makai
~~
I had just been heading to see my Ocean. His mom had texted me to tell me that she had already left so that she didn't get in the way. She was a good person, and this was more evidence of that. She was acting like we were too showy, but she wanted to give us more alone time together. That was the reason behind this, I was sure of it.
With a grin on my face and the bag of food in my hand, I walked confidently into the hospital and toward the room that my boyfriend was in. The door was shut, but that was no big surprise, however I heard voices from the other side of the door and that was a surprise. Especially since I was hearing someone that was highly undesirable coming from the other side of the door.
"♪ If you come back to school, you will kill yourself. If you don't leave Makai, he will kill you. No one wants you Ocean. Doesn't that make you feel bad?"
"Uhm, Brittney, what the hell are you trying to do?" Ocean sounded confused but not like she had done something to him, just like he didn't understand what was going on.
"What the hell are you talking about? I am singing to you. You will need to do everything that I say. That is how it works!" Brittney screeched at him in annoyance.
"How what works?" Oh, my adorable little Ocean, he was acting so clueless right now. And I wasn't even in the room so that I could see his face. I was missing out completely.
"The fucking songs. They're supposed to make you do whatever I say."
I really didn't like the implications of what she was trying to get at. She was basically implying that she was trying to bespell Ocean with her voice and song. Was she trying to imply that she was like Ocean? Or did Justin tell Brittney about what happened to him? Nah, I don't think that he did. He felt too sorry to be that vindictive. So, was she really more like Ocean than I ever thought that she was? How is that possible?
I was about to find out how it was possible though. She was singing a song that was supposed to make my boyfriend kill himself if he went back to school. Basically, she didn't want Ocean to find out what everyone at the school had said to her. That was priceless.
"So, that's how it is." I said the words loudly while I pushed the door open hard and made it bounce off the wall.
"Makai?" Ocean called out to me, shocked and happy at the same time. He was so happy to see me, but I could tell that he was still so clueless about what was going on.
"Hello Ocean. I missed you." I smiled at him and reveled in the glory that was him. I had hated being away from him for even one night. I had needed him, and I knew that he had needed me too. The look in his eyes told me that.
"What in the fucking hell are you doing here, Makai?" Brittney turned and glared at me. She was giving me a look that said that she was angrier than she had ever been in her entire life.
"I am here to see my boyfriend. What in the fucking hell are you doing here Bitchney?" I walked over to the table and set the bag down so that I didn't do anything terrible to the food that I had brought for my Ocean to enjoy. "Have you already forgotten what everyone at school said to you? That is one short memory, if I were you, I would get that checked out."
"Fuck you, Makai. I don't need your bullshit right now. You're going to rue the day that you ever mess with me."
At that, Brittney put her hands on her hips, took a deep breath, and started to sing while grinning at me.
"♪ Go away Makai. Jump out the window into the sky. Die now and never com-.. Mmph!"
Well, Brittney had started to sing, but she wasn't given the opportunity to keep going. My parents had recognized what was going on and stepped forward to stop her. Now she was trying to get me to kill myself. Man, she was a sick and twisted bitch. Not surprised, though, I already knew that was how she was.
"You can stop that right now, young lady." Mom snapped at Brittney as she placed her hand over the bitch's mouth.
"One more attempt at that and you will face even more serious charges." Dad added as he grabbed Brittney's arm as if he was about to arrest her.
"Mmphm." Brittney shook her head and screamed through my mom's hand incoherently. "Gemph or haan oomph mm momph." The words were distorted but I could make them out. Mom, however, didn't know what they were or pretended not to.
"What was that? I didn't quite hear you." She slid her hand away and made Brittney repeat herself.
"I said: get your hand off my mouth." Ooh, the bitch was pissed off right now. This was fun. I was staring at her wickedly while my parents held her, and Ocean just looked on with wide eyes. He was still not sure what was happening.
"You tried to bespell him." I practically growled like an animal at the stupid bitch's face.
"And how do you know about that?" She looked like she wasn't going to admit anything. "You don't have a clue what I am, you pathetic piece of shit." She was definitely playing with the wrong people right now.
"Really, Brittney? If what you said to Ocean is true and the way you tried to use the song is any indicator, then I can easily surmise that you are a Siren."
The pure shock that settled on Brittney's face at my declaration was priceless. It was legitimately the most hilarious thing that I had seen in a long time. I enjoyed every second of seeing that, but I would much rather see my Ocean than her face.
"H..how? How do you know that? H..how could you? W..what are you?" Mom was the one to smirk at her then. She was giving the bitch her most evil of mom looks.
"You're not the only special person around here, Brittney. There are plenty more than just you, and from what I could see, the others are a lot more powerful than you are."
"Ooh, that was a good one, Mom." That made Brittney's face drop. She hadn't been expecting that these people were my parents.
"You're his mom?" There was a hint of disbelief in her voice at that moment. "If you're his mom and you're like me that means that he.. that he.. that he's like me." I didn't think that anything could shut Brittney up like that. Well, apparently disbelief could shut her up quite effectively.
"That's right, Bitchney, we're like you. Well, mostly. We're not Sirens, but we're from the sea. So is Ocean, by the way. But you don't need to know what we are. You're not worthy of that information."
"I don't fucking care what you are. I know what I am and that is all that matters. My mother is a Siren and she told me that our people have powers over others. We can make them do whatever we want. Since I turned eighteen I now have my powers and I can bespell the whole world if I want. I am going to make the world love me and make everyone at that fucking school regret everything that they've ever said to me. They're going to be nothing but losers and I will be the leader of the world."
"Wow Brittney, those are some seriously megalomaniacal aspirations. What in the actual fucking hell are you thinking?" Even I, who is not a Siren, could figure out that someone would step in and stop her before those dreams could come true.
"She's drunk on power." Dad answered for me. "It has happened in the past. Sirens come into their powers and think they are the best of everyone and everything. The various clans have had to deal with them when they happened to start causing problems." Dad was explaining this, but it didn't look like Brittney was going to listen to him.
"No one can stop me. I will be the one to stop everyone else. I will make it all into my new world." She was laughing hysterically now as the door to the room opened up.
"What in the world is going on in here? I had to tell the nurses that Ocean was watching a very loud show on the TV." Dr. Malachi came into the room with an angry set to his jaw.
"Perfect timing, Abraham. We need some help with this young lady here. She's a Siren who is powerdrunk." Dad turned to the doctor and gave him a smile.
"Good lord."
At that moment, Dr. Malachi left the room and came back within about thirty seconds. In his hand was a vial and a syringe. We all just watched on as he prepped the needle. Even Brittney didn't say anything as she watched him. It wasn't until he started to take the syringe toward her that Brittney started to panic.
"No. No. Get that away from me. NO!"
"What are you going to do?" I asked him as I watched him jab the needle into her arm.
"She's going to take a nice nap and go into the custody of the authorities." Dr. Malachi grinned as he answered.
"But would they know what to punish her for?" I was confused now, and my Ocean was still just watching with wide eyes.
"I never said she was going to the human authorities now, did I?"
