the right to control my body and I was fighting back,
but they were slowly winning.
    “ No! Get out!” I screamed.
    The others rushed towards me and I shouted
for them to get back. I could not hold it in any longer. Someone
was controlling my body. It was like I was watching a different
person and not myself.
    Rhea slowly walked towards me and I screamed
inside for them to run.
    “ Protect the Siren.” The voices
screamed.
    Someone made my hands move and a bright light
escaped, and knocked Rhea high into the air.
    “ Stop it.” I screamed inside my head.
“Leave her alone.”
    “ Rhea!” yelled Sophia.
    Naaz was about to move but my body was
quicker to react. Another bright light came from my hands and
exploded. Naaz was sent spiraling through the air and landed hard
on her back along with Rhea.
    “ Stop it, Ellie!” shouted
Marcus.
    My head turned into the direction of Sophia
and Marcus, they showed true fear across their faces. They stood
together, hoping to stand their ground against me.
    “ Bow before us.” The voices
said.
    “ Stop this!” Sophia yelled.
    “ If you do not bow, then you will join
them.” The words came out of my mouth but they were not
mine.
    Sophia quickly put up her barrier, protecting
Marcus and herself. Both of my hands were forced out. Jets of
blinding light were sent forth towards Sophia’s barrier, the wave
of light covered over her barrier hoping to find a way in.
Something inside me laughed as I watched her struggle against the
power. I could see Sophia battle against the tide but I was
powerless to do anything but watch. Within seconds her barrier soon
shattered around her, leaving Sophia and Marcus defenseless. She
stood there with her face full of horror. Marcus quickly placed
himself in front of Sophia, baring my path.
    “ No not them!” I screamed. I fought for
control for my own body but they weren’t letting go. Each of the
sirens wanted a turn at my body like I was a brand new toy for them
to play with. I fought against each of them and I could feel their
influence disappearing. Sophia took her chance and ran towards Rhea
along with Marcus.
    I screamed and the ground cracked around me.
My body began to tremble from the force of the scream, I kept on
going and I could feel their grip fading away. My vision had grown
darker and my head felt heavy but I had to keep going. One at a
time the souls drifted away from my body, I had won. I inhaled
deeply, I had finally had control of my body. The scream had
drained me of all of my strength and I could feel my body falling
to the floor.

Chapter Ten

    Dense fog had surrounded me. Did the other
leave me here? My body didn’t feel right, even after I fought for
control of it, it just didn’t feel like it belonged to me. Soft
voices echoed around me, it was a nice change from the other voices
that screamed at me. Still laying on the ground floor, I picked
myself up with difficulty. All of my muscles ached with pain, I
just felt devoid of strength.
    “ Am I dead?” I blurted out.
    But this doesn’t look like heaven or
anyone’s concept of it. Just lots of fog and empty vast of
nothingness. There were no pearly gates, no fluffy clouds or anyone
to show you where you will be staying for the rest of your undead
life. I started to walk about, looking for anything that was worth
noticing.
    “ Hello!” I called out
nervously.
    Something appeared in front of me that made
me jump back. The fog around me gathered and I watched in awe as
something started to take shape, it seemed to be of a human and it
was slowly coming together piece by piece.
    I took a few steps back, not knowing if it
was friend of foe. The white fog ended with a glittering glow and
out stepped a tall man, he was half naked from the waist up, his
strong body showcased how muscular his arms and chest were. He
looked like he could take on a thousand men. His piercing hazel
eyes watched me as I took him in. He walked slowly towards me and I
felt like running it the
