//------------------------------// // Melody // Story: The Dazzlings and the Human // by evanim26 //------------------------------// "Come on girls or else I'll head to the circus myself." I said as I put on my shoes then Adagio and Sonata walked into the room and I looked up at them "Where's Aria?" I asked "She said she'll be here soon." Adagio said and right then Aria walked into the room to "Alright, let's hurry up and go, I just want to get this over with soon." Aria said I stood up once I was done with my shoes "Alright, let's go, trust me you guys are going to love the circus." I said walking out the door and to the car "I doubt that." Aria said as she and the others got into the car While I drove us for a bit we eventually arrived at the hotel that my sister was staying at and we picked her up then I drove us to the circus and I could see the girls looking at it from the window and after I parked the car we left but before we went straight to the circus I had to make a few rules so I stopped the girls before they walked off "Hold on, before you go running off I need to set a few things for all of you." I said and they all groaned and I put my hand up "Don't worry, you'll all have your fun but first, don't ask for anything expensive and don't go off on your own, we stay together, alright?" "Yeah, yeah, can we go now?" Aria said and I nodded then they walked right past me and to the circus Emilia walked next to me "can I ask for something?" she asked and I shook my head "You have your own money, use it." I said then I walked after the girls When we walked around the circus the first thing Sonata asked for was something pretty expensive so I had to deny her which made her sad and I couldn't resist her sad face and bought the stuffed penguin for her and after, Adagio and Aira did some stand games and they were both frustrated with how they sometimes won against the other and lost and I couldn't help but enjoy their little competitions, I was hoping Sonata would join in on the fun but she was happy with her stuffed toy so I left her and after Adagio and Aria had their fun at the stands it was time for the main event "Come on, you've had your fun but now it's time for the show." I said as I pointed at the big tent in the middle of the circus "What's in there?" Sonata asked I smiled "Only one of the best shows you'll ever see, this is really what people go to see when they go to the circus." I said then I started walking to it "Come on, this is something you'll remember for the rest of your lives." I said and they followed me to the tent where we took our seats and the lights went off as the ringleader stepped into the middle of the place "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the greatest circus on earth, I trust you enjoyed our games but now it's time for the true show to begin and to start our performance, it is bull and the clowns." the ringleader said then out came a bunch of people with a bull as they waved at everyone then out of nowhere a car appeared and a bunch of clowns stepped out of it despite its size I looked over at the girls they were amazed at the clowns getting out of the small car then we watched as the clowns were playing around with the bull which made everyone laugh and after that, some new people came in on tightropes and they were doing loads of tricks which put all of us on the edge of our seats, then came in trapeze artist and they were amazing as the switched from one to the other and swung with more than two people, after their performance, it was the lion tamer and he had the lions jump through normal hoops and one the lat one jumped through a hoop that was on fire then they were done and everyone clapped including the girls and I was glad they were enjoying the show then the ringleader came out "I hope you enjoyed our lion tamer show, and now it's time for our final performance, a little melody from our lovely siren, Coreana." he said then a woman stepped to the middle and took the ringleader's spot after he stepped down, she was a tall woman wearing a black dress and her hair was a mix of red and green "Coreana? it can't truly be her, can it?" Adagio said and I turned to her and I saw their surprised faces "Do you know her or something?" I asked Adagio turned to me "I don't know if it's the same person, we haven't seen her in a long time, there's no way it can be her." she said then Coreana put the mic close to her and started singing a small song and I felt myself being pulled into the sweet music until my ears were suddenly covered by Adagio and I looked up at her confused "What are you-." my mouth was covered by Sonata then I was pulled down behind the people in front of us and I was going to remove Sonata's hand but Aria added her own hand to keep my mouth covered and after a few minutes they removed their hands and Adagio looked past the people at the middle of the ring "What are you three doing?" I asked Sonata shushed me "Keep your voice down, we can not get caught." she said and I was confused "What is going on? why are you three being so sneaky?" I asked then Adagio got down "We need to leave, we can't stay here." Adagio said and the other two nodded and I was going to say something but she stopped me "We'll explain later Eric, just follow us." she said then she and the others crawled behind the people but I stopped and looked back at Emilia "Wait, we need to get Emilia to." I said then I crawled back to her and shook her "Emilia, come on, we need to leave for some reason." "Eric wait, get back here." Adagio said but I didn't listen and continued shaking Emilia "Emilia? what's wrong with you?" I asked then the light was pointed right at me and I looked behind me "Well, well, looks like I missed a human, let's fix this mistake." Coreana said then she put the mic back up to her and started singing but I wasn't able to hear much since Adagio quickly covered my ears again and I saw Coreana's face turn to a surprised one "Another human? wait a minute, you're not affected by my singing? how strange." she said then she walked forward a bit then she gasped "Adagio? is that truly you?" she asked and I looked back to see Adagio remove her hands from my ears Adagio chuckled nervously "Hey, Coreana." she said then I saw Coreana smirk "Adagio, one of my fellow sirens and also one of the three responsible for getting me caught by star swirl and sent to this pitiful world, it's so nice to see you again tell me, where are the other two?" Coreana asked then Sonata and Aria stood up "Ah, there you are, Sonata and Aria, tell me, how did you three get here?" she asked "We uhh got sent here by star swirl too." Sonata said and Coreana laughed loudly "Serves you three right for selling me out to save your own skins back then but now I can not only get more magic from these humans but can destroy all of you right here and now." Coreana said then she snapped her fingers making all of the people around the tent stand up "As you three can see, I have made new magic now using my songs I can take control of any simple-minded human, which now that I think about it, is all of them, CAPTURE THEM!" she said then all of the people turned to us and ran to us and I kept one of them away by grabbing him and throwing him back I looked back at the others "What is going on? what is wrong with these people?" I said throwing another one away "This is not the time for it Eric." Aria said then she punched one of the people away "We need to get out of here, Eric is there another way out?" Adagio asked and I thought for a moment while fighting off another one "This is a tent, we should be able to crawl under it enough to get out of here or tear it open." I said then Aria walked to the wall of the tent behind us and I watched as she pulled out a knife form her pocket and cut it open and I was surprised "Where on earth did you get a knife?" I asked Aria put the knife back "After what happened that day I made sure to keep myself safe, I won't get caught by humans again." she said then she looked out the hole and down at the ground "It's not too high we can jump." she said then she jumped down and the others followed and I was about to until I was grabbed by Emilia "Emilia, let go." I said as I struggled then I looked back at Coreana walking up the steps to me then I made a tough decision and pushed Emilia hard enough to make her fall back and let go then I jumped through the hole and ran after the girls as they waited for me "AFTER THEM, CAPTURE THEM, I WANT THEM BROUGHT TO ME!" Coreana yelled as we all ran away We kept running for a while until we had reached the parking lot but once there we saw some more of her possessed people guarding the cars so we were forced to run back but once we did we saw people roaming around so we hid behind one of the stands and out of sight from the people and once I was sure we were safe I turned to the girls and they looked away from me "Explanation, now." I said Adagio sighed "I guess we were going to have to tell you at some point, there's no point in hiding it from you any longer." she said then she looked at the other Sonata and she nodded then she looked at Aria and she sighed to "the truth is we're not from this world." she said and I was confused "What do you mean you're not from this world?" I asked Aria sighed "It means exactly what it means, we came from another world, a world where magic exists and so did Coreana." she said "You always wondered how we took over the whole school, well we used our powers to take control of the humans." Adagio said and I simply nodded "we're also not humans, we're all sirens who can use our songs to make people fight each other and steal their magic." she explained and I nodded "Wait, let me get this straight, you three come from another world and so did that woman Coreana and in that world, magic exists?" I said and they all nodded "Also you three aren't humans but instead sirens who can use your music and songs to make people fight and you also steal other people's magic?" I said and they nodded then I shook my head "This has to be some kind of joke, are you three pulling my leg or something?" I asked Aria sighed "see? I told you he would never believe us, humans just won't believe something like this." she said and Adagio pinched the bridge on her nose "Well, we needed to tell him something, we couldn't just leave him in the dark forever not after this disaster." Adagio said then she looked at me "Listen, Eric, you're gonna have to believe us on this and listen to us if you want to get your sister back." she said I rubbed the back of my neck "All of this is very difficult to believe, another world with magic? you three sirens? I'm not sure if I can believe it." I said Sonata stepped forward "It's fine if you don't believe us Eric but you'll need our help if all of us are going to make it out of here, Alright?" she said and I nodded "Alright, I'll do what I can if it means rescuing my sister." I said "Okay here's the plan, back when Aria, Sonata, and I were able to use our songs to steal magic we only did it using special gems that allowed our singing to become enchanting, all sirens have this gem it's how we are able to use our power, this includes Coreana if we can destroy her gem that should release everyone else from her singing spell." Adagio explained and I nodded "So, how do we destroy this gem?" I asked "It won't take much to destroy the gem, we just need to get a hold of it then we can destroy it." Adagio said then she peeked over the counter of the stand "The hard part is getting past the people she's controlling but it is possible." she said then she looked back at us "Is everyone ready to go?" she asked and we all nodded then we planned how we were gonna sneak around her people and make it to Coreana to destroy her gem and rescue everyone
