Siren's Lust

It was night, and the strong ocean water hit the beautiful Hawaiian islands. Many of the island inhabitants were enjoying the nightlife or were asleep. However, far from many of the larger islands, there were smaller ones that weren’t inhabited by people but were visited by tourists or locals for fun.

Molokini Island was one of these islands, and it had a crescent moon shape. Since crossing the waters at night was dangerous, four guards were sent to the small island to stop and look for anyone breaking the law. Three men and one female guard were looking around the island. It was 11:58 p.m., and they all knew it would be time to return to the boat and the island of Maui. “Everything clear here,” said one of the male guards in the walkie-talkie.

“Same here. Let’s meet at the dock to get out of here. Meanwhile, I will message headquarters that nothing was found on the island,” said the female guard already waiting at the docks. Everyone else agreed and said they would be at the port shortly. The female guard was alone as she prepared the boat. She then got on the ship and was about to radio headquarters when a noise outside was heard.

The female guard looked around the ship, and nothing seemed unusual. Everything on the ship was normal; I expected to wait inside for ten minutes. She got her walkie-talkie and asked her coworkers if they were getting closer. There was nothing but static; she asked for anyone to answer, but there was nothing. “Guys, this better not be a joke,” she said. Suddenly, another sound was heard outside the ship, and the guard got out, but she was drawing her gun this time. She also took out her flashlight and looked at her surroundings. The only thing she heard was the ocean waters. “Guys, is it you!? If it is, then cut it out! You guys got me!”

There was no response, and as she was about to turn her back, she saw one of her coworkers standing at the farthest corner of the ship. “Ugh, Bobby, it was you. What you did was not funny!” When there was no response, the female guard noticed something off from her coworker; there were blood drips on the floor. “B-Bobby, wh-what’s going on? Are you okay?” she asked while slowly walking toward him. Once behind and tried to motion him to look at her, Bobby fell, making the young female guard fall to the ground. The impact made her lose her grip on her gun but not her flashlight. The female guard’s eyes widened with horror when the light hit Bobby.

Bobby’s eyes and tongue were ripped out, and his neck was cut open. “AAAAHHHHH! BOBBY!” Just as she was about to push the body away, her back hit something hard, and when she was about to turn, someone got a hold of her long black hair and slashed her neck, making blood splurt out like a waterfall. The female guard tried covering the wound, but her body and heartbeat weakened. Minutes later, she choked on her blood and died.

“Well, that was boring. I wish we could have toyed with her and the others a little more,” said a female voice while dropping the female guard’s hair. The young woman was in her early twenties and stood five feet and seven inches tall. Her skin was pale, with many freckles on her face and chest. Her eyes were dark green and glowed in the darkness, and her long eyelashes made her eyes pop. She had a thin appearance that made her look gaunt. The young woman had a slightly big forehead with short, curly blue hair; she also wore a lot of makeup with black lipstick on her thin lips.

“Othalia, our Elder Sister, wouldn’t want us to waste time. We have a job, and these people were getting in the way.”

Othalia rolled her eyes. “Bethany, you’re no fun! You need to have fun with our toys once in a while.” Bethany was slightly taller than Othalia and was in her mid to late thirties. Her raven hair went past her waist and had small lavender flower decorations. She had a long, plain black dress held by a lavender corset. She wore black boots, which made her look taller. Bethany had slightly big hips and an average body type, but the corset made her look thinner. Her skin was light beige; her eyes were black and emotionless. Bethany also had a beautiful face and looked younger than she was.

The two women heard footsteps, and when they turned, there was a man who looked to be in his mid-30s. He had a handsome face, which people would mistake as a model, with a dark beard and mustache; his right eye was light blue, while the other was covered with a dark eye patch. He had a large scar on top of his nose, which made his nose slightly crooked. His raven hair was tied in a knot as it passed his shoulders. The man stood six feet and five inches tall and was somewhat muscular as his clothes clung to his body. However, his hands and clothes were soaked with blood.

“Jovan, you killed the others?”

“I did. The rest of our brothers will get and take the bodies to our ship. They are fresh meat, and our coven’s pets will enjoy them.”

“Tee hee! Well, these stupid guards saved us a lot of trouble gathering food for our little pretties, but we’ll still need more food for them for the show! The nearest island is Maui, and there are many people there.”

Jovan rolled his eyes as he removed a handkerchief from his pockets and cleaned some of his blood from his hands. “We mustn’t create too much attention. Remember that we are here to make a show for our dedicated fans, who are coming here by the end of the week. Since these people we slaughtered were guards, I know more will come. When they do, they will be food for our pets. Elder Sister Tabatha agrees.”

“Where is our Elder Sister anyway? I’m surprised she wasn’t here to enjoy the fun.”

“She is at the ship on the other side of the island and is sending invitations to those attending the circus. For now, we must clean up and tell our other brothers and sisters to prepare the circus and the upcoming food that will arrive.”

“Hee! Great, the Hidden Shadows Coven will be ready for business!” cheered Othalia.
