The Siren's Keeper

by Gamer Script


A Place to Decieve

Once getting through the front door, the sirens and Code took off their winterwear and Adagio snapped out in irritation, "Alright, Aria. What in the Hell was that about, hmm? Was your insesent whining about Code truly that underwhelming that you had to make him seem like a damned kidnapper in front of all those people?!"

"I want the truth. That's what I'm gonna get!" She said angrily as she sat down on the coffee table, "Don't you two find it even a little weird he just so happened to be driving by when we were at our worst? Broken, hungry and powerless?" She asked accusingly as the other two looked to him and then to her.

"He's explained this multiple times, Aria. He was out getting batteries for--"
"For his controllers and shit, yeah. But we walked that street for about a mile or so and did either of you see an electronics store?" She retorted.

"Don't those gas station places sell them?" Sonata asked curiously.
"They do, yeah. But not the ones he was looking for..." She said walking up to Code and pressing her finger to his chest, "You were looking for 9-Volts. The big ones only grocery or hardware stores carry around here..." She said with venom dripping from her words.

"Wah-- how would you even--"
"It's amazing what watching you code for a few weeks can get accomplished when used on a phone." She said simply as she got in his face and grabbed the scruff of his shirt, "And you're not so innocent, are you?" She said threateningly before being shoved away by Sonata who rose her arms up and got in front of him, "Oh what the--"
"Stop it!" She shouted as she had tears welling in her angry, determined eyes, "Cody's done nothing but help us and you keep picking on him! It's mean, it's... It's wrong!" She shouted.

"... Wrong?" She said in a deadpan tone before she began laughing, "Oh, that's fucking rich Sonata! Cause we've ever cared what was wrong and right before now. Cause we were such perfect little angels!" She shouted as she came closer and closer to Sonata, "Because we didn't deserve what those little Rainbitches did to us!" She shouted in her face before being suddenly smacked, making her stumble back a bit, Sonata's hand frozen in place as she, Adagio and Code stared in absolute shock.

Aria slowly rose her hand up to her cheek and cringed from the sting as she let her head fall and slowly rise up glaring at Sonata and Code, "See, Sonata? I know what you are... What we are..."
"N-No, I--"
"Deep down you still wanna make people fight and feed us."
"Stop it..."
"You're still starving for that power!"
"No!" She cried as her voice shattered like stained glass.
"That's enough!" Code finally spoke up as Sonata shivered and hugged herself, Code gently turning her around and hugging her tight as he rubbed her back, "That's enough..." He sighed.

"I've seen your lows, Aria. But this is a new one!" Adagio said angrily as she went over and began comforting Sonata.

"Oh, MY new low... That's a laugh considering how you begged and pleaded this stupid human to--"
"Would you stop saying that and give your weird worshiper stuff a rest already?" He spat out as if it was acid burning within his mouth.
"My... What?"
"Oh, don't play dumb! Adagio told me all about how you're some kind of worshiper of some alien species and see yourself as higher than most humans." He said in irritation as he handed Sonata over to Adagio who's face paled from the mention of her lie.

Aria blinked in confusion before it clicked in her head and a wide grinch-worthy grin spread across her face, "Oh... Oh my... You haven't told him, have you?" She said giving a dark laughter.
"Aria, please."

"Oh that is just fucking rich! You told him I'm a cultist or some shit?" She said before erupting in laughter, "Not even close!" She said as she turned to him, "I don't act like I'm beyond humans. I am beyond humans," she explained.
"Aria, be quiet!"

"No, Adagio! This worthless little mortal wants to know what we are, I'll tell him!" She said as she looked him dead in the eyes, "Sonata, Adagio and I,"
"Aria!" Adagio shouted.
"What we are is--"
"Aria, pretty please stop! I-I'm sorry for hitting you! Please, please don't make Cody hate us like everyone else!" Sonata cried.

"The three of us are the sirens that attacked the town at the Battle of the Bands! We're devious, chaotic creatures of great power and might, feeding off the pain and sorrow of others!" She shouted with a wide smile.

Code's eyes widened as he looked at her, his mouth slightly agape as he stammered a bit, "I-I... You..." He stopped before looking over at a newspaper he'd seen with three blurs, their eyes and some odd light the only things even partially comprehensible. He finally put two and two together, having not thought on the matter in a while. At the sight of his stunned face, Sonata's eyes welled up with tears as she screamed out "No!" At the top of her lungs and sobbed uncontrollably, her mind racing with pain and anger and terror of what he must've thought of them now.

Aria smirked and shook her head, "No use in crying, Sonata. Humans are stupid, hateful creatures. Who cares what a single one thinks of us? We should just--"

"No." He said softly, the three looking at him before he spoke once again, "That's... Not possible. You three are the..."
"Yeah, that's right. So what? Are you gonna imprison us? Call the police? What do you think you can do?" She said angrily as she walked up to him. He stood there silent, his brain scrambling to find an answer before bringing his hand up to her face before it being grabbed and pulled forward as he felt a sharp pain in his stomach, making him gasp in shock and pain. Adagio and Sonata's eyes went to pinpricks as Aria held a wide grin on her face, "Stupid human," she whispered with a victorious tone to her voice as she pushed him out of the way and to the ground, "See? Humans will never be able to accept us. Not when they know what we'd done in the past. They're weak and useless!" She said as she kicked him, making him grunt in pain.

She went for another kick before she was forcefully shoved away from the techie, falling over onto her back as she looked up and saw Sonata with a wrathful glare in her eyes as only two words left her lips:

"Get. Out."
