God, her head hurts…

Where was she…

The memories of the night before come flooding back as she begins to wake up. The blood, the fae corpses at his feet… the phantom pains along her forearm, how she slashed into her own skin to take care of him and his needs… the dizziness that became too much to bare, collapsing in his arms. She sat up with a low groan, rubbing her temples. After a moment the pain in her head subsided, giving her the chance to actually examine her surroundings.

Curtains hung around the bed, soft and cool to the touch as she pushed them apart. They looked so nice, and definitely expensive… the same as the blanket that had been draped over her. This was nicer than any of the other rooms she’d stayed in at the castle…

Slowly, she lifted the blanket away and said off of the bed. Black splotches danced in her vision for a moment from the quick movement. She stumbled, reaching for a bedpost to balance herself. Once she could see clearly, she looked around the room. Gorgeous paintings hung from the walls in gilded frames she would never dare to touch. A large wardrobe practically looked over her from the other end of the room, nearby a small stack of boxes coated in dust…

This… this must be his room. That means…

She slept in his bed.

Oh god- she had been in his bed- they’ve only been dating for a couple months, they’ve only been on a handful of proper dates and she had been in his bed-!

No. Her inner voice sighs, exasperated. Pull yourself together, it’s not like you slept with him- you sound like a Puritan.

She shakes her head free of those thoughts before they lead somewhere else, somewhere she didn’t have the time for. She should find Arthur and let him know she’s alright… he’s probably worried sick right now, and no doubt upset with himself for letting this happen. She needed to make sure he was okay.

right where i want you.

he laughs something deep and fierce, ready to take a chunk out of her, ready to drink her for all she’s worth, siren blood was just too valuable to pass up…licking his lips, he reaches close to the side of her neck, just under her ear- while fear builds inside of him-

NO, STOP, STOP!!!!             RILEY!!!!

R I L E Y - !

but something c h a n g e s.

……….

for a moment, she’s limp - and he immediately thought that maybe it was her fear that made her consciousness slip away, that was, until something in her eyes were different, her posture, everything, and they hiss as they’re grabbed instead and pinned to the nearest wall, with his hair blackening some more, and whispering foreign curses under his breath-

what WAS THIS?!

who   a r e   you.

he could barely move, she was so s t r o n g … . .  sharp eyes stare at her, teeth too grit for his voice to come out as clearly as it did.

Her hand bunches up more of his hair and holds it tighter, pressing him harder into the wall. It was so easy, controlling this body when it’s host was asleep, though it pained her to be using Riley’s body this way. She had no choice, though, if it meant keeping her out of harm’s way. She pressed farther into their personal space, right up against his back.

Sirens were playful creatures by nature, and Elody was no exception. With a sadistic giggle, she leaned in close to their ear, so close they could have felt her voice before they heard it. She could only hope her charm speak would have an effect on them, but there was next to nothing that could resist her tempting charms.

they make a strange choking sound as she holds onto his hair tighter and keeps him pressed into the wall TOO MUCH TOO MUCH TOO F A M I L I A R - they couldn't even do much, being at the mercy at yet another siren...her energy so powerful and her voice so alluring, they didn't know realize their mouth was moving at her question-

" t a k e      h i m             - u s e               p o w e r               -    o p e n            -      t h e - "

NO. YOU WON'T TELL ME - WHAT TO DO-
