At the bottom of the water, where a ray of light touched the cafeteria floor Hudson could see sea plants and on the surface he could see his reflection and he got a clear view of the terror on his face.
His reflection became warped as he splashed the surface and deep beneath the surface he saw Eros sitting at the bottom of the water with his eyes closed and as the ray of light touched Eros' face Hudson swam down towards him frantically.
He pulled his arm , trying to get him back to the surface but Eros wouldn't budge.
" I don't need your help , human." He finally said as Hudson struggled to pull him to the surface.
Tiny bubbles floated to the surface as he spoke and for a moment the scene looked like some kind of fantasy painting. Bright blue water mixed in with the light green undertones and sea plants as the water in the school continued to rise rapidly towards the roof.
Hudson didn't get distracted by the beautiful scene and kept pulling Eros' arm with determination.
Eros sat still but his hair flowed side to side in the water as if it had a mind of his own.
His red and black strands of hair moved delicately under the water and Hudson kept pulling him.
The water was almost up to the roof now and Enmei swam towards Hudson.
" Oh .... you're here. " She said as she swam by and then stopped beside him. She seemed disappointed but she didn't seem interested in starting an argument at that moment.
The school was underwater now and anything that wasn't about this immediate danger would be considered petty.
" Hey, can you help me get Eros out of the water ?" Hudson asked her and she glared at him.
" No matter how much I want to be around Eros or you whenever I see you both together I just want to stay five feet away from you guys." She admitted softly, a sad expression covered her face and she folded her arms.
" Listen let's talk about this later. Eros needs our help."
" He looks fine to me." Enmei stated
" He's not." Hudson insisted as he continued to pull Eros by his arm.
" The relaxing yoga pose would suggest other wise."Enmei statedas she turned away from him swiftly causing little bubbles to form in between them.
" You're still mad about last time ? " Hudson said and Enmei swam off without another word.
A dark green sea plant that looks nothing like anything they've ever seen before wrapped around her legs as she swam and pulled her to the bottom of the water, trapping her to the floor.
Hudson looked around at her quickly with fear in his eyes and in this moment he was supposed to let go of Eros and go to save his childhood friend who was in immediate danger but he DIDN'T.
For some reason he couldn't let go of Eros' hand. He couldn't let go of Eros and it made no sense at all.
Eros wasn't drowning. Eros wasn't struggling. Eros wasn't even in danger and yet Hudson didn't move away from Eros to save his childhood friend.
She struggled to get lose but it was no use.
She stared at Hudson , he eyes widened as she realized that he didn't move to help her and she stared at his hand that was still holding on to Eros' arm and she shed a tear.
That broke her. It broke her heart to know that Hudson wouldn't try to save her and it was as if there was some kind of invisible chain that was keeping Hudson connected to Eros that made him unable to move to help her.
This moment changed Enmei forever and nothing was ever the same again.
Day of the Star , month of the Hero , year of Clairvoyance ....
was Enmei's date of birth but this day was the birth of a new darkness.
MEANWHILE...
On the side of the Cafeteria where the Sirens were Venus and Alto were stacking Desks to create a barrier between the students and the Sirens and moving all the students far away from the Sirens.
Yukina who was still an Angler fish swam past the barriers and beneath the sirens to observe them.
Venus created a flower barrier that went all the way up to the roof with her magic .
" Now the humans won't be able to see the sirens and the sirens won't be able to reach the humans." She said and the boy with the blue hair appeared in front of her , holding a human girl in his arms.
" Good Job, Venus . Let's carry the students out the building now. " He said as the water rose to the ceiling.
" Wait, where's Yukina ? " Venus asked as she turned back to look at the flower barrier that she had created.
Alto shrugged confused and Venus glared at him.
" Go look for her now! And don't come back until you find her." Venus demanded Alto and he pouted as he swam off and she removed a part of her flower barrier so he could swim through it .
" Let's get these students out of here. " Venus said to the boy with blue hair and he nodded.
The Siren attack started and they bit through Venus's flower barrier like Sharks with theirs sharp pointy teeth.
The students panicked as Sirens chased after them and soon the water became colored by blood.
" What a Fabulous Feast. There are even beautiful flowers in the dining area." The Siren Princess said as she watched humans being bitten by her servants and petals from Venus' flower wall floating in the water.
" Evacuate the school now. This is an emergency. Evacuate the school now.This is an emergency .
" The intercom blared and Elias and Cole swam away quickly with each other.
" It took them this long to realize we were in danger ? " Elias asked as they swam towards the door.
" Right ? And I'm supposed to be the dumb one. " Cole replied and he swam to the door and pulled it as hard as he could.
It didn't budge and Elias swam to the door and started to help Cole pull it.
" Come on. The Cafeteria door isn't supposed to be locked." Cole started complaining and then his attention was caught by the water around them slowly turning red and he became horrified.
" Shark ! " Cole shouted as a large shark bolted towards them and Elias pulled the door as hard as he could and it finally opened.
The water went flooding out the door and the shark kept heading towards them.
When the shark got close enough they could see that there was a girl laying on its back with a cloth tied around her bleeding leg .
" Yukina , bring the human to safety. I'll go back and recreate the barrier. " Venus called after the shark and from where Cole was he could see Venus swimming back to the direction of the Sirens.
After the flower barrier was broken it was obvious that only one person had the power to save them and that was Eros.
Eros was still sitting at the bottom of the water with Hudson ignoring all the chaos around them and trying to save him when Venus swam up to save the girl that Hudson should have saved a long time ago.
When Venus found her she was tied up by some kind of alien seaweed and struggling to breathe.
" You had one job ! You were supposed to save the girl NOT entertain Eros while he's throwing another one of his pointless tantrums." Venus shouted at Hudson angrilly as she ripped the seaweed off of Enmei , finally setting the human girl free.
" Negative Aura points, Dude ." Alto stated as he looked at Hudson still struggling to get Eros of the bottom of the Cafeteria floor.
A flood of water from another planet , a siren invasion brought on by the power of a Cupid who should not fall in love no matter what.
A Prophecy started all this and it was every planet's job to not make this prophecy come through. Every planet that needed the sun would have to stop Eros from growing stronger and eliminate all female humans in order to ensure that he would never change and find love.
Enmei was finally free and she was still devastated because Venus was the one who had to save her.
Hudson had finally managed to pull Eros from the cafeteria floor but he still didn't open his eyes or acknowledge that Hudson was there.
Bubbles floated to the surface, sea plants brushed against their legs , tangling together in the process and dragged Eros down.
These alien sea plants that looked so pretty were extremely deadly and dangerous. Just by being around them was enough to put human life in danger .
The sea plant yanked Eros away from Hudson and Eros fell gracefully deep down to the bottom of the water , leaving Hudson panicking as he swam nearer to the surface.
Hudson was pissed because the Sea plant took Eros' away from him.
Hudson had been holding Eros' arm the entire time and if it wasn't for that stupid sea plant he would have never let go.
Hudson gritted his teeth as he went swimming as fast as he could towards Eros.
Hudson wanted to shout but he couldn't but as he struggled to find his words and gritted his teeth in anger he immediately started to hear Eros' voice.
' My power is being restricted.'
Eros' voice said . It seemed like he was frightening and terrified and Hudson had never known Eros to be terrified.
Hudson realized that he had the unlocked the ability to read Eros' heart. This ability was the same as mind reading and Hudson's eyes widened in shock as he stared at Eros who was wrapped up in Alien sea plant and laying in the water beneath him. Eros' body was calm but his inner voice was panicking.
Hudson had never seen Eros' emotions but at least now for the first time ever Hudson finally had a chance to hear them.
