//------------------------------// // Dazzling Café Chat (Part 1 of 3) // Story: The Lost Siren // by Dreagknight-LostWriter //------------------------------// The café was a far distance from the school, not to far as I could still see where the school was, but far enough. The café itself looked like a normal diner café, with diner tables laid alongside the walls. Walking into the café, still arm lock with this girl, we made our way to the counter and order our drinks. I bought a large sprite and she got herself a hot vanilla latte, she then pull me towards a table in the far back. When we got to the table, she had sat down and scooted over for me to sit next to her, I eyed her suspiciously. I then drop my backpack on the floor and sat down on the opposite end of the table, that cause her to chuckle a bit as she remove her hood and shades. I got a good look at her magenta eyes as she stared at me with a smirk, then there was her hair, how did she manage to stuff her big fluffy curls within her hood, I would never know. She took a small sip of her latte, sighing as she relaxed. Okay, lets start looking around for any watchers. I don't want to be caught off guard like I was at Sugarcube. I thought, as I started to look around for the smallest sign of a threat. “No need to get worked up here sweetie, no ones going to attack you.” She said, as she took another sip of her latte. How did she know what I was looking for? I thought, as I turn my attention back to the siren before me. “So… care to tell me who you are, or even your name?” I asked, finally settling in. She looked at me with a raised eyebrow, like she was studying me. “Is that what you really want to know or would you prefer to know why I brought you here?" she asked, with a almost wicked grin. I looked at her as she leaned in on the table, one hand on top of the other.  “Well, it would help to at least know your name.” She just lean back in her seat, picking back up her latte, she took another sip from it. “My name is Adagio," she said, as she put her latte back on the table. “Well, Adagio, what did you wanted to talk to me about?” I said, finally taking a sip of my sprite. “Before so, should you also tell me your name then.” She said. “My name is Blitz,” I said with a hint of annoyance. I don't trust her, what is she planning? I thought as she rested her chin on her folded hand, elbow propped up on the table. “Do you by any chance know a teenage girl with light blue hair, dark blue highlight and raspberry eyes?” She asked, looking at me knowingly. “No, I don't think I do.” I said, playing dumb. “Really? Last I heard, you was with her a few days ago.” She said, leaning in on her hands. I eyed at her as she said that. “Alright, so I do know her.” I said, giving in, seeing as she already knew. She only lean back off, picking up her latte. “So tell me, do you know who she is?” She asked, eyes close and sipping at her latte. “I know who she is.” I said leaning in, turning the tables on her. “And I know who you are too.” To my surprise she didn’t stutter or glance at me, it was like what I just said didn't even fazed her. Putting down her latte, she looked at me with amused looked. “Well, that just made our little conversation that much easier.” She said with a chuckle. “So tell me, what do you know about her then?” “Well I…I...” I had to stop there and think. What did I know about Sonata? “I see.” She said after a few seconds. Putting down her latte, she crossed both her arms and legs. “Well, if you must know, Sonata is not to be trusted.” She said, watching me. “I’m sure you already know what we did back at that school, am I right?” “Yeah, I know what happen at the school, but why do you say she can't be trusted? She doesn't seem like the type to hurt anyone.” I asked. She only gave me a raised brow in that response before saying. “Oh she don't seem like the typed. Well, did she say anything about regretting what we have done?” “Well no, but-” “Well, if I must remind you, she is a siren after all. And yes, as sirens we can bend and force other wills to our own needs. And she have done that for her whole life. Matter of fact, this café,” she said, presenting the cafe with a free hand. “Was one of the places we had fed on some negative energy. Though Sweet Sonata could never stand to watch someone under our spell die, she had no problem causing them misery and breaking their weak little hearts.” She said, still looking me in the eyes. I stared at her as her word settle in place. What she said wasn't new to me and I could have guess most of those things, but it never occurred to me just how much Sonata had been involved in this. Just how much she have actually done, staring back at her, I had to form words in my mouth. “So, from what I heard, I believe she is staying with you. Now that you have a very small understanding about her, what will you do. Will you continue to let her stay with you or will you kick her out, for what she truly is?” She asked, keeping her voice monotone and never breaking eye contact. “No!” I said without thinking. She look at me in surprised. “What you just said may be true, but I doubt Sonata is still the same as she was before. Just from the small conversations that we had, I could tell how much she regretted the things she have done, even if she don't say it herself. So to answer your question, no I will not kick her out. I already promise to help her and I'm not going back on my word.” As I finish that statement, I had to stop in think of what I just said. Is that how I truly feel or did I just said that because she was speaking bad about Sonata? Adagio just sat there, looking at me before closing her eyes with a small smile. “Is that all you had to say, if so, then I'm just going to take this in leave now.” I said, grabbing my drink and backpack. “No need to rush home and leave me here by myself. Sonata is a big girl, she can be alone for a few hours, so how about you spend a little bit more time with me. I promise I won't say anything else bad about her.” She said, giving me a pouty face. I just looked at her, blinking for a few seconds. Am I really a sucker for a pretty, pouty face? I looked at her a little bit longer before sitting back down. I must be. Well, I could at least try to get some answers out of her while I’m still here. She gave me another smile as she went back to sipping her latte, which looked like she was almost finish with. Drinking my sprite, I started to think up some questions I wanted to asked her. Reaching down in my pocket, I brought out my phone to see how much time had passed by. As I did so, I felt someone sat down where I was and scooted in. Looking over, expecting to see Adagio sitting there, I was greeted by another person instead. It was a female wearing a green hoodie with shades, who also had a cup of hot tea on the table. As she pull her hood down, I could see purple twin-tail hair with green highlights, and I knew this was Sonata’s other sister. Oh great, another wild one appears. I sighed internally. She removed her shades revealing her violet eyes before looking at me, then back to Adagio. “I take it since he's still here means he's okay," she said, thumbing at me. Wait, what? I looked at both of them confused. Adagio just stifled a laugh before nodding her head. “What do you mean by okay?” I asked, becoming more suspicious of the two sirens. “Just seeing if you was somebody trusting with Sonata.” Adagio said, as though that answer my question fully. “Trusting, wasn't you just trying to get me to kick her out a few moments ago?” I question back. “Hmm, I was, but that was a test.” She said with a conniving smile, before looking towards the purple hair girl. "Anyways, Blitz this is Aria, Aria this is Blitz.” She introduce us, though I wasn't paying much attention. “Wait a minute, what kinda test was that? Seeing if I can be trusting with Sonata or not.” I asked perplexed. “The type of test to see if you can be trusted or not.” Aria said. “You know how everyone back at that school hates our guts, had to make sure you wasn’t one of them. You know, the type that would set up a trap for someone you hate, seeing as you was with Sonata.” She said, resting both elbows on the table, next to her tea. “And if I was one of them?” I asked for no other reason then just to know. “Well,” she started with a smirk on her face. “You wouldn't be walking away with more than just a stab in your leg.” She said, with the most horrendous grin. H-how did she? I looked at both the girls as I reeled back in my seat. Aria just gave me a raised brow, as though she was confused. “You can't be that stupid to have not realise it yet, even from what I just said.” I blinked at her as I search my mind. She knew I was attack and Adagio knew I was looking for any possible attacker, the only reason for them to know that unless...they...was there. I looked at both the girls. Purple hoodie, green hoodie. “You two, you two was there at Sugarcube, wasn't you? The ones that left after I spotted you two looking at us.” I asked in a low voice. “Well, I guess you aren't that stupid after all.” Aria said, as she took a sipped at her tea. “So hows the idiot doing?” She asked, ignoring my question. “Ah yes, lets talk about Sonata, how is she?” Adagio said looking at me, also ignoring my question. I had to put my raising question to a halt, as this was something I too wanted to talk about. “Well, from what I can tell, she's been better.”
