A strange scene greeted Sirena as soon as she entered the chamber where she had left Sedna yesterday. Two pitiful puppies were coaxing their partners and Sirena's mouth twitched remembering another puppy whom she abandoned just now. She looked at Cara and Dylan who were busy coaxing their lovers and snickered in her heart. She then turned to Sedna who was still sleeping peacefully amidst all the chaos and suddenly her eyes widened as if she remembered something. Oh shit! How did she forget it? That Zed and Sedna... The relationship between them is quite complicated and now with Vulcan in the frame, it's going to be quite a headache.
Sirena sighed looking at Sedna and then turned to the others in the room. Her eyes flashed and she spoke coldly, " You guys do realize that she is sleeping right?"
The cold voice seemed to work as they turned to Sirena who was now back to her cold self. She looked so normal as if it was not her who cried pitifully yesterday. All of them raised their brows and scowled at her but no one dared to mock her.
Sirena cleared her throat awkwardly as if she knew what they were thinking and sent them a warning gaze daring them to open their mouth.
Just then the door opened with a bang and everyone turned only to find Zed looking at her like a pitiful puppy abandoned by its owner. And everyone immediately turned to the "cold-hearted owner" their eyes blaming her for being a douchebag, especially Cara who was spitting fire from her eyes as if her crush was being bullied.
Sirena: "…"
WHAT THE HELL! Why is everyone looking at her as if she was a scum? She wasn't! She was the victim here. Damn it! And looks like someone here had quite some skills in acting huh? He was the culprit and he dared act like a pitiful puppy. But she must say that he looked quite cute in his fresh outfit, especially with his wet bangs sticking onto his forehead. It looks like he rushed here as soon as he freshened up.
Sirena bit her lips, cleared her pervy thoughts, and looked at Zed calmly. She thought for a second and opened her mouth.
" I have sent Roose on an errand so let's start without him."
Zed pouted when Sirena ignored him again and walked in with low spirits. Looking at him like that Cara couldn't help but look at him with pity when someone blocked her sight. She knew it was Gabriel and turned to Sirena rubbing her nose guiltily not daring to look at Gabriel. She knew she would be done for the moment she looked at Zed again. Sigh... What a sour jar...
Sirena then started explaining yesterday's events trying very hard to ignore the puppy and when she completed her part, she heard Cara exclaim, " So basically yesterday's strange atmosphere change was because of Sedna?"
Sirena nodded her head and said, "Yes. Sedna was the reason for yesterday's events and the strange atmosphere was her darkness. You have met Layla. This was similar to her darkness but yesterday's darkness was pure, strong, and much more venomous than Layla's."
Cara gulped and nodded her head absent-minded. She then asked after a thought, "Then what about Vulcan? He was acting different and Gabriel was acting strange too "
Gabriel pursued his lips but didn't interrupt. He was curious too. He then looked at Sirena waiting for her answer.
" When she comes... Naturally, he will come after her. He was her husband after all. And Gabriel had a pact with her before she left. It was bound with a powerful spell. A spell that no one could break. That is, until she wishes to meet him herself, Vulcan cant meet her... He shouldn't meet her and our Gabby here will stop them from meeting just like he did yesterday." It was Zed, who spoke this time and everyone turned to him immediately. He was no longer looking like a puppy. His eyes now looked dead serious and a look of mockery along with melancholy flashed in his eyes as he looked at Sedna who was sleeping peacefully on the cot in the chamber. How foolish! He scoffed in his head and turned to others only to find them looking at him strangely except for Bella and Sirena.
His words shocked the shit out of Cara and she looked at him with her eyes wide open.
" What did you say? Husb...HUSBAND?!... Whose husband? And how?" Cara felt her brain buzz with the new bomb dropped on her. Vulcan and Sedna... Husband and … She couldn't complete her sentence thinking about her friend's unexpected and strange marriage. Well, she was sure that Sedna wouldn't take it well if she knows that she has a husband, even if that man has heaven-defying looks.
Cara was quite shaken because of the news but Gabriel was still calm. So she turned to him and asked," Why were you not affected?"
Gabriel turned to her and responded calmly, " I don't know but somehow I guessed it." His tone was so casual that Cara wanted to smash his foot with her heels at his narcissistic words. They looked like they were about to start a war and Zed ignored them and turned his attention to Sirena.
" I knew I was wrong but how can you abandon me like this? That too, after using me an entire night?" He spoke suddenly and Sirena choked on her saliva. Sure enough, this bastard can't be serious for more than a minute. And what nonsense was he spouting? She quickly turned to others only to see them throwing strange looks at her.
She glared at the culprit and turned away from him. She looked at others and spoke casually," Rest of the details... Bella will fill in for you guys. She knows everything. I have other important work now. So let's continue later and notify me when she wakes up." Sirena pointed at Sedna and left hurriedly and just like that she disappeared in a flash.
Bella: "…"
Zed: "…"
WHAT THE HELL!
