The Siren's Call

Twenty-Four

1. This new writing update is disgusting

2. Sorry for the slow updates, I am jam packed with Uni at the moment, second year student which makes me have barely enough time to even sleep. So yes my updates are slow, but thank you for everyone who's still sticking by me. Means a lot.

"So now, touch her,"

Draven looked hesitant as he sat on the bank and I sat a metre away from him.

"I don't think so, I don't want to drown or get clawed again," he said leaning away and I frowned. I don't always claw people.

Caspian also frowned as he swam closer to Draven, "If you don't do it, I can't tell what happened or her Siren's reaction,"

I crossed my legs feeling uncomfortable, can I just get back into the water? I leaned on one hand watching mother and Caspian speak, and Draven look at me.

"Just try not to...claw my eyes out, or the face, aim for the arm if you really want," he said and I nodded sitting up.

He leaned over taking a deep breathe, quickly leaning over patting my head and pulling back.

I hissed touching my head, "That hurt!"

"Oh sorry, too hard?"

I nodded sighing. I didn't get why we had to do this, mother requested to see Draven and I straight away in our human forms which meant after showering and brushing my teeth that Draven insisted on we made out way to the spot here father. They wanted to see how my siren react.

"Draven," Caspian said beckoning him to lean in. I watched as he whispered something in Draven's ear and I frowned. I wanted to hear too.

I looked at mother who smiled at me, but there was a slight dullness in her eyes that worried me. Was she feeling okay?

Draven suddenly moved wrapping arms around me and I looked up. "What are you doing!" I hissed trying to pull away. 

"Don't let go yet Draven,"

"Are you sure?" Draven asked as I tried tugging my hair away. He was hurting me! His hands were grabbing my hair pulling it in the wrong directions. I sighed and stopped struggling, it was only making it worse.

I could feel his breathe against my ear, it was warm and tingly making me giggle. 

"Alright you can let go now,"

"Well that didn't work Caspian," said my mother sighing. Caspian nodded, "I can't help without seeing something,"

"Can I go now?" I asked. I wanted to walk, get used to my legs and maybe go say hi to James, if I wasn't disturbing him.

"Yes you can Thelea,"

I nodded standing up my legs feeling funny and Draven mirrored my movement getting up and dusting his hands, "I'll come with you,"

I shrugged wrapping the 'scarf,' around me, what was I meant to do with this. Draven smiled shaking his head taking it from me, "This goes around your neck, it'll keep you warm," he said taking a step closer unraveling it and then placing it around my neck one and then twice.

I pulled at it as it felt weird.

"There, and these just hang," he said pulling the two ends forward and I hissed slapping his hand away

"See! Did you see that?"

"See what?" Caspian asked looking up and I tilted my head.

"See what my dear?"
