---- Siren's POV ----
I was walking to the library...
"I hope Ben and Sarah can become friends..." I said to myself. I opened the door to the library when suddenly, I bump into someone. I fall into my back. "Ow..." I open my eyes and looked up to see laughing Jack smiling down on me. "Sorry Si... Are you ok?" He says, helping me up.
"I-I'm fine... What are you doing in the library?" He looks both ways down the hallway then closes the library door. "I need to talk to you about something important." I nod walking with him to the chairs. I sit down and ask, "What's so important that Ben couldn't hear about it?" He gives me a serious look and asks, "Can I try something really quick?" I give him a skeptical look and say, "Ok... Will it hurt?"
"Of course not... Give me your hand and look into my eyes." I do as I was told and looked him in the eyes. He squeezes my hand looking deeply into my eyes.
After a few seconds he lets go and says, "Okay... Your not there yet." I cock my head and ask, "There yet? What do you mean?" He smiles and says, "Don't worry about it." He gets off the chair and walks to the door. I quickly grab his hand and yell, "I'm tired of all these damn riddles! Give me a legit, straight answer!" He looks at me flustered.
I let go and try to act nonchalant. "...Sorry." He rubs his neck and says, "N-No, it's okay. That was a little silly of me." I nod. "You know what ask Alex tomorrow, when you see him." As he walks towards the door I ask, "What? Tomorrow? I'm seeing him tomorrow?" As he leaves the room he says, "Ask Ben about the details." I run after him. "But that didn't answer my question! Jack!" Before opening the door he asks, "Okay, I'll answer your question... My way." I nod and wait for his answer.
"Okay... Who's the one who see's the killers suffering? Who's the one who has sympathy for both victim and killer? Who's the lighthouse at the end of the docks?"
W-What kind of riddle is this? LJ's expression was very serious. He steps closer and says, "You are Siren... You don't even know half of it, yet... But just know how important you are to all of us."
"W-What do you mean by that? I haven't done anything significant in anyway..." He chuckles and says, "Your so silly, Siren... You are very observant and vigilant to everything except yourself..."
"What?" As he left the room he said, "You effect all of us in more ways than one Siren..."
I was left speechless in the library...
I'm so lost...
"How does he even know all of this?" I mutter to myself.
^^^ Sarah's POV ^^^
What is up with that chick? She's so weird... You would think she'd have a grudge against me because I'm her boyfriends Ex.
But the way she looks at me...
Boy, it's been a while since someone looked as friendly as she did. It looked so genuine it almost looked real... I don't believe she's as innocent looking as she seems. I mean... How can it?
But now... After what she said... I'm not so sure.
After Ben left the room I looked around the mansion... It's been a while since I've been here... Yet it still looks Same as usual... Same old dusty knick-knacks on every shelf. Same old depressing pictures. I sit on the couch and ponder. After a while of thinking I've finally come to a conclusion.
"I got it! She's faking to impress Ben!" I sigh with relief, knowing that she's just as bad as me.
Well... There's only one way to know.
I walk upstairs to look for Siren. If I talk to her one on one, her true nature will defiantly show! As I walk down the hall I notice a familiar door. "Hey look, it's my room." I say opening the door. when I opened it, I noticed my things were rearranged. As I walk around the room I noticed that a lot of the stuff here wasn't mine either. I look on my desk and see a little notebook. I open and read it. "Oh look, my old notebook! It's been forever!" I reread my old words.
Funny... I don't remember being so cold towards Ben in my words. Was I always like this? Is this how I sounded to Ben? No wonder he hates me.
I flip a few pages forward and realize there was some entry's I don't remember writing. It's not even in my handwriting. "Someone else was writing in my notebook!" I flip to the most recent entry.
~~~~~
Entry 1,
I'm scared
I'm scared for life. I'm scared for my future. I'm scared for my decisions... I'm scared for Ben.
I've told him constantly I love him, but he refuses to believe me. I've told him I wouldn't leave the mansion, but he won't Believe that either. He's paranoid... Delusional. I don't mind at all if he's being needy... But there's more to it than just being 'needy'.
He sometimes... Loses it. By that, I mean he mentally breaks down. He goes into paranoid state, and it's all because of me. I'd be lying if said I didn't know he's possessive. It's very well known. He's possessive and protective. When he's in his delusional episode his paranoid nature gets the best of him. Yes, I've found ways to make him snap out of it.
But... He worries me.
I love him... A lot. And I want the best for him. So what worries me is his independence factor. He cannot be in a sane state of mind without me, he says. He won't leave my side. I'm not stressed by the responsibility of keeping him in check. But like I said... I want the best of him. And I want him to be able to have independence.
But, with everything he's gone through... I wouldn't be surprised that he's so messed up.
He lost everything and everyone he loved... He was tortured for, God knows how long. And when he finally escaped that nightmare, He was literally left with nothing except the clothes off his back.
I know for a fact he was devastated by that... But he says that I'm the reason he keeps going.
He says that he needs me...
And I want to help him... But I don't know what I can do... I'm just a weak, boring human who cant live without the library. What can I do?
Sincerely,
Siren

"S-So this is Siren's room?"
Damn... No wonder Ben adores her...
I was sure she was as bad as me. At least half as bad as me... But she's a fricking Saint!
"Sarah?" I quickly look behind me to see Siren next to the door. She smiles and laughs awkwardly, " Haha... I heard this used to be your room... Sorry it's a mess." I look around the room and say, "A mess? It's cleaner than I left it!" She looks around the room and started giggling. "If you say so." When she stopped giggling, she looked down to my hands and noticed I was holding the notebook.
"Oh, so you read my entry?" I put the notebook down and laugh awkwardly. "Heh, um yeah... I also read my old entry's." I look down and say, "I bet I seemed pretty mean..." I realized I said my actual thoughts and looked up at her blushing from embarrassment. She seemed like she was listening intensively. She nods and says, "anything else?" I frown and say, "Why do you want to know?" She shrugs. "Sometimes it's nice to say our concerns to another living being."
I cross my arms and say, "You shouldn't snoop through other people's private property!" She smiles and says, "S-Sorry about that..." I didn't answer back. She stops smiling than looked at me with a serious look. "You know... I don't think your as mean as your trying to seem."
H-How'd she know I was acting?!
"S-Shut up! What do you know?! You hardly know me at all!" I say starting to get a little angry with her. She steps closer to me, looked me in the eyes and said, "Your right. I don't know... So let me try to get to know you." I step back and say, "No! Get away from me you freak!" She steps back and says, "I won't ask you if you don't want to talk about it... But I'm
Worried for you."
"Why?! Why do you of all people care?! My own family doesn't even care! If they didn't care, why should I believe you would?!"
She looks at me surprised. I stood there breathing heavily. She stared at me for a few seconds than sighed. She pulled out my desk chair and sat in it. "Why do you think I want to know?" I turn around trying not to look her in the eyes. "Your trying to know my weakness."
"Why would I need to know your weakness? I just want to help." I scoff, "Why? Aren't you mad that I'm your boyfriends Ex?" She looks at me surprised then burst into laughter. I turn around to look at her. "What's so funny to you?!" She catches her breath with a smile and says, "Why would I resent you for that? Seems kinda of stupid, right?" I frown. "Stupid? I'm your Enemy!"
"Is that what you think of me? ...as your enemy? ...I don't think that of you."
"Well... No." She gives me a slight smile. "If you don't think of me as an enemy, what do you think of me?" I ask looking down. She fiddles her fingers around and says blushing, "I-I kinda wanted to be friends... With you" I blush a little, seeing how cute she was acting.
"Damn..." I said smiling. "what is it?" She asks looking up at me. "Nothing, Its just that I can see why Ben really likes you." She smiles and says, "heh, thank you." I walk towards the bed and ask, "So, is this your room now?" She Shakes her head and says, "Not anymore... Ben told me to share a room with him. So I'm know sleeping in his room."
I blush and look over to her. "W-Wait, you guys are sleeping with each other?!" She blushes profusely and says, "No! No! Of course not! I-I just..." Her words trailed off. I smile and say, "Well your very pretty, who wouldn't want you in their bed." She looks at me still blushing and said nervously, "Haha, n-no. Your really pretty too! Your skinny and you have a clear beautiful face. You have a lovely voice too. I mean... If people got to know you, they'd know your pretty cool too..."
"Y... You think I'm... Cool?" She giggles and says, "Well more than just cool! I mean... You may be acting like your a bitch. But I can tell that you have a really cool and confident personality." I scoff sitting on Siren's bed. "Confident my ass... But... Thanks for that." She smiles and asks, "For what?" I smile back and says, "Well... For trying to get to know me... It may not seem like it but, I enjoy your company."
Sirens face lights up and says, "R-Really? C-Can we be friends than?" I nod. She joked around and says, "Well it's nice to have such a beautiful friend." She winks than started laughing as I started to chuckle with her.
I was blushing heavily from the complement I was getting while feeling a bit flattered. But the thing I loved the most, was that she actually seemed to enjoy my company...
"Well Siren, your beaut-" Siren interrupts me and says, "I'll be back! You remind me of my favorite character in this book I read! Wait here while I get it!" She smiles as she left the room. "But your beautiful too Siren..." I mutter under my breath a little disappointed I couldn't tell her.
Suddenly, I hear a noise in Siren's closet. When I opened it I saw Ben crouched in the corner startled by me. "S-Sarah... I uh..." I pull him out of the closet and yell, "You have some nerve ease dropping on me and Siren!" He blushes and says, "W-Well I had good reason for it!" I cross my arms and says, "Well? What is it?" He stands up and says, "I was just making sure you weren't going to hurt Siren." I look down.
I remembered in Sirens entry, how paranoid and delusional Ben can get... To be honest, I'm not surprised compared to the things he told me about Siren.
I sigh. "Yep, Siren... I can see why you like Siren so much. She's one of a kind, I'll tell you that." Ben scoffs confidently. "I know! But I called dibs before you could!"
What does he mean by that?
"What? Do you think I'd claim Siren for myself or something?" Ben crises his arms. "Anythings possible..." I blush yelling, "I'm not a lesbian! I mean Siren's pretty and cute and stuff, but I'm not going to date her or anything!" Ben laughs. "Ha! So you are admitting that you find her attractive!" I sigh. "You idiot... I says she was cute not sexy." I mutter. He blushes looking at me with a disbelieving expression. "Sexy? She's irresistible!"
So does he want me to be attracted to her or not?
I walk slowly towards the door. "Okay, when you come out of crazy town, give me a call." As I was about to leave Siren walks in with a book in her hand. "Sarah! Look right here!" She says pointing to a female on the front cover. "You remind me of her." She says smiling up at me. Because I was about 4 inches taller than her. "W-Wow..." I said a little awkwardly. Siren looks over to Ben and asks, "oh hey, when'd you get here?" Ben was sitting in Siren chair smiling, daydreaming to himself. I push Siren I the hallway and said, "Why don't you talk to him once he's done daydreaming." She looks up at me and asks, "Daydreaming? About what?"
He's most likely fantasizing dirty stuff about Siren. A good friend would push Siren away before Ben started telling her weird stuff.
"Don't worry about it." I said uneasily. She nods, walking me to the library with her. "Here, can I show you some of my favorite books? It's been while since Ive talked to a sane human being." She asked excitedly. I nod and say, "Sure, why not?" She smiles and opened the library door.
A sane human being huh? Yeah... It has been a while.
A/N: hi sorry for delay...
Not much to say here...
