The murderers' song - Amy Marvill Sophie Mander (good books to read for adults .txt) 📗

his face from one of her many stress nose bleeds and Maggie looked really mad and Isla’s face and eyes were as bad as me maw’s. “What’s wrong with everyone?”
Me maw got up from the kitchen table and walked up to me. She rose her hand and slapped me hard across my face. “Where in gods name have you been?! It’s 11pm! The last time anyone saw you was at 11am and it was John Wiggerman who told us! Where were you!?”
“I went down to the beach.”
“For bloody twelve hours. That’s rubbish Kade!” Isla yelled at me. She had tears flowing from her eyes and looked really mad.
“I fell asleep!” I yelled back.
“Then why do you look so tired, Kade?” Bonnie asked
“Because the dumb twit overslept.” Mrs McDonane told bonnie.
“Stop ganging up on me!” I yelled and then stormed up the stairs.

After a while someone knocked on my door. Well I say knocked but it was more like a tap. “Hello?” I asked the tap.
The door slowly crept open and the first thing I saw was fiery red curls. “I just wanted to come and say hello before we went home.”
I smiled at her and she walked in and stood beside my bed. I took hold of her arm and pulled her down onto the bed. She lied down beside me and said “You really scared us.”
I pulled her closer to me, so that her head was on my chest. “I know. I’m sorry.”
She nodded and snuggled in closer to me. I gently stroked her hair and watched her fall asleep.
At some point I must have fell asleep because Isla woke me up by getting off the bed. “Are you okay?”
I watched as she jumped and made a little shrieking noise. “I thought you were asleep.”
“I was but you getting off the bed woke me up. Where are you going?”
“Home.”
I glanced at my digital watch. “Isla, honey, its 3am you can’t walk home at this time of the night. Come back to bed.”
She nodded and got back into my bed. Except this time she slipped under the covers.
Chapter 5


I woke up and Isla wasn’t there anymore. I glanced at my watch. 4am, so she hasn’t been gone long. Did she walk home on her own? I got out of bed and got my shoes on. I carefully walked down the stairs and out the back door and started walking towards the Siren’s call. Kind of strange that the pubs called The Siren’s Call and we have Siren’s living on our dock. Maybe the people that owned the pub before the McDonane’s new Sirens. I must of got half way to the pub when I heard someone calling me.

“Kade! Please come!” the voice was soft and musical.
I carried on walking towards the pub when I heard.

“You are my dearest lover,
With me to the very end,
You must come and be with me,
So we can live happily after,
You have captured all my heart,
now I must capture yours,
Come with me to my home,
So I can keep you forever”

I walked towards the voice and kept walking until I saw her stood on the beach. I saw her blonde hair shining under the moon and I knew…
I love her. I love my dearest Calliope.
I walked towards her with my arms out stretched almost like a zombie. I whispered through a dreamy voice that didn’t seem my own; “Calliope. How I’ve missed you.”
“As I have missed you.” Her voice sounded strange but that didn’t matter.
All that matters is that she is here and I love her.
With each step my boot sunk deeper into the wet sand. Drawing to a close enough distance I reached out to touch the golden, starlit veil of hair that draped her shoulders. All of a sudden, the intoxicating voice turned into one that was as dark and thunderous as a brewing storm;
“Do not touch me!”
Slowly, she turned her face to me.
I was deceived. Teresea.
She curled her finger and beckoned me to her. I didn't want to follow but that singing is just so beautiful. My feet where moving closer too her.
My Teresea, My beautiful Teresea. Calliope doesn't matter anymore. Only Teresea matters. "Come with me." My beautiful Teresea told me.
