13. A siren?...

"You could just ask me" the weird and mysterious mind-reading lady named Eve says to me as she took me on a tour round the place.

"And you could just tell me" I calmly said, trying not to show my eagerness to find out what she was. I was thinking witch, but she doesn't have that stupid double mole that all witches had next to their ears. So she was not a witch.

The next thought that came to my head was vampire, but then I know vampires can compel humans, but it's illegal. And I can't be compelled. And I'm sure she didn't compel me that time. She was inside my head. And besides, her skin was too creamy. So vampire is out.

Werewolf... Nah... She ain't no wolf.

I've seen a few trolls in my life, and they are never this beautiful. She looks like she popped out of a raunchy anime. Maybe an ogre. Nah., those creatures are too spiteful. She's too gentle.

If she's not a witch, nor a vampire, nor a werewolf, or a troll, nor an ogre, what the hell is she?

Then maybe another kind of unpopular demon... Like hmm, maybe a... Hell, I can't think of any other thing right now. She's not transparent and jelly like in the movies, so she's not a ghost.

Ooh, I got it. A mermaid. She could be one of Poseidon's excess eggs, that's right. A mermaid. But that doesn't explain her getting in my head... What is...

"Definitely not a mermaid." She spoke, and now I'm confused if she's in my head again, or she actually spoke with her mouth.

"See, my mouth is moving" she opens and closes her mouth so I'd see she wasn't in my head.

"What are you then? And don't get in my head. I'll have you for dinner if you do it again." I warned. She wasn't any normal human being, and she could read my mind, so hiding my intentions was no use. I could as well just state it as it is.

"don't worry, I don't do that all the time, but I think you'd come to prefer me talking in your head than with my mouth" Gosh, her voice is so damn loud. Annoyingly loud.

"That's exactly why. My voice sounds lower in your head" she gets into my head again, even though I just warned her not to. But then she was right, I just realized it. She did sound more controlled in my head.

"don't make me your dinner, I was just showing you the difference" she quickly said.

"you know that's not what I was thinking." I calmly replied as we entered into another part of the department. "so mermaid?"

"or no, definitely not. They are my cousins." She calmly says.

"Wait, don't tell me..." My eyes widened in expectation, if mermaids were her cousins, then... then...

"You're a..."

"Siren" we both echo together.

My mouth opens wide. I haven't seen a siren in years. Wow. I almost thought they were extinct.

"That explains it, the annoying voice, the mind reading, the taking in my head. WOW. So you're a Siren"

"You look really exited for me, I wonder why."

"well because my last best friend was a Siren" I said full of vigour and excitement. It was true, I once had a friend who was a siren. Well things didn't end well with her though.

"And what happened to your former siren best friend?"

"OH, I killed her." I shrugged.

"Can I ask you why?"

"that's a very good question. Okay here's the thing" I dragged her to a near by seat. Yes that's right, me who doesn't like touching people or being touched by people pulled her by the hand and led her to the nearest seat.

"we were both really good friends, the bestest of friends, we used to stay at each other's place for sleepovers and other stuff, but then one night, I went over to her place for our usual sleep over, and I told her I wanted her side of the bed. And she refused." I diligently explained.

" she was rude, I mean it's her house, but I'm her friend she didn't know how to give. So I huh... I didn't get mad. We laid down to sleep, she slept on her side, and I slept on mine. But then one stupid mosquito had to come remind me that I was on the wrong side."

"did it bite you?" this Evelyn girl who I now know is a siren asks the dumb question.

"Well of course it bit me. That's what mosquitoes do duh. Don't Interrupt, I'm talking" I cautioned her, and continued with my story telling.

"So I realized that if I was on her side, I would not have been bitten by the mosquito, and that was when I got made and I killed her. I then went on to kill her mom and dad, and did I mention their house was by the see? Well it was. I dragged their dismantled bodies to the see and dumped it in there, then I went on to sleep in her side of the bed."

"and guess what..."

"what?" this Evelyn girl was a good listener.

"there was no more mosquito"

"WOW"

"Don't tell anybody this okay, cause I'll have to kill you if you do" I tell her truthfully.

"who could I possibly tell?" she smiled at me, and if only I would be working here for long, she'll make a good new best friend, or dinner. Which ever fits.

"So, I overheard you in the Bosses office earlier. More like I read your thoughts. What are you going to do to that fat frog. He's worst than a molester. I've been tolerating his rubbish all this while, but you don't seem to want to do the same." was she trying to get me to talk, why was she asking this.

" Don't get yourself concerned with my business. You'll get in trouble."

"And about that buffoon, he'll get what is coming for him. He'll get it in full"
