“Thats not true!” The eldest girl protested. “You may have gave poor Rina a fright, but not I.”
“I was not scared, Emmy.” Rina said with a simple little voice.
“Now don't you two worry your heads. The master's sons are more frightful than any siren.” She laughed again. “Those three are rotten to the core if ye' ask me. Doing whatever they like, and to whom ever they like. Mark my words girls, imaginary creatures are the least of your worries.” The old woman said fanning her self as if it were boiling hot outside.
The two girls stared out the windows of the carriage watching the country side. The mountains swallowed up the valley where the two were to live. Though you would never know there was an estate there. The trees of the forest covered every inch. It was very beautiful, the two had never seen anything like that. They started up a pebble stone drive that led to the enchanting manor. The carriage stopped at the side door were they were to enter the manor. Crawling out of the carriage the girls stopped to stare with amazement.
“Hurry along you two.” The old woman said ushering them into the door. “Now you will need to change into your uniform.” She helped the girls into their maid outfit. Which was a dark crimson with a white apron. “Let me look at ya both. Ah good, you are ready to meet the Masters.” She led them to a large dinning room where the family were eating she motioned for them to stand with the other three maids, as she explained things to the head butler. The girls watched as he leaned down with a grace the girls had never seen before, and whispered into a large man at the head of the table.
Rina looked at the three boys at the table. Their faces showed no emotion. They were almost like living statues. The woman that sat on the other side of the boys was just as stern, not even a glance at the two new arrivals. The dinning hall was a grand one indeed. Paintings galore, as well as pottery. She let out a gasp as her eyes traveled to the ceiling. It portrayed a beautiful woman with wings of gold and silver, and a ugly monster offering the woman flowers. She looked down and everyone was staring at her. She realized she had made a loud noise, and lowered her head. The old woman once again ushered them into another room, where they waited for what seemed like hours.
“Now lets have a look at them.” The large man said bursting into the room followed by the three sons and wife. He studied the girls as if they were thing for auction. He stopped at Emmy and lifted her head. Emmy was a beautiful girl with long blond hair and blue eyes. Her skin was fair and not a blemish in sight. She was tall for her age being only a girl of seventeen years. “Very Nice.” Then his gaze went to Rina. She was short, but her beauty more than made up for it. Her hair was a black as night and skin was slightly tanned. Her eyes were a fierce green that could penetrate the soul. “You two are not sisters?” As his gaze went back to Emmy.
“No sir, we are not.” Emmy said trying not to look him in the eye.
“This one.” He said pointing at Rina. “She look apart of the exotic lot. Much too tanned for her own good. Where is she from?”
“We do not know sir. They say she was found at the docks in the city near the cost.” Replied the old woman.
“Found?” His brow raised. “So no doubt the pitiful orphan of a sailor's whore. Well since you are accustomed to being alone you can work in the west wing. Best keep her out of sight if we were to ever have a guest. They might think we shelter heathens. You, Emily was it? You shall work as a maid to the boys rooms, and my wife.” Emily caught the look the the three young men. Smiles crossed each of their faces. “Now show them to their quarters.”
The two girls settled into their new lives. Though sometimes they are tortured by the three boys. They were named Thomas, Jonathan, and Walter Bennington. They would make Emmy do chores that did not become a lady. Thomas the elder of the three at nineteen would flirt with the girl as much as he could to try and bed her. She refused every time though. The two girls were sent in the forest by the Mistress of the home to collect flowers for her table even though it had a fresh bouquet there already. They ventured far into the forest close to the mountains searching for any signs of flowers.
“Emmy I think we were sent on a wild goose chase.” Rina protested. “Well since it is a chance to get out of the horrible place why don't we explore?” The two went to the base of the mountain followed what seemed to be a path well traveled. “Lets see where this leads us.”
“Alright.” Emmy smiled. “You don't act like a girl of sixteen.” She laughed.
“And you act much better?” Rina questioned.
“Of course I am a lady.” She mimicked the Mrs. Bennington. They reached a cave like place and Emmy stopped in her tracks. Rina who did not mind dark places continued to enter. “Rina! Don't go in.”
“Don't be scared.” Rina walked back to her and grabbed her hand and pulled her. “I'll protect you. With my trusty sword.” She grabbed a stick from the ground.
“But how can we see where we are going. For all we know we could fall into a bottomless pit.” Emmy said with a frightened voice.
“Then I shall make this sword into a torch.” She took a piece of cloth and wrapped it around the stick and took two rocks and tried to make a spark. After trying for about a minute or so she started to get frustrated. “Bloody Light!” The stick flared up. “See I could do it.” She smiled. They walked further down the cave and came to a pool of bright blue water that seemed to glow. They peered into the water and saw nothing but their reflection. “I wonder what is under it.”
“Under it?” Emmy looked at her as if she was daft.
“Yes, under it to make it glow like that.”
“What makes you think there is something under and not in it?”
“Because it does not look like it has a bottom like a normal pool.” Rina peered into the water and suddenly what looked like a hand formed from the water and grabbed both the girls and dragged them under.
Chapter I
“The evil demon seductress called to the sailors. Hearing the beautiful call the men headed for the island of the damned. Their minds filled with lustful thoughts. Before they knew what had happened their ship's hull was torn open from jagged rocks in the depths. They either drowned or were eaten alive by the devilish sirens.” The old woman cackled at the sight of the two girls frightened faces. “ You children today are scared of everything.” She said still laughing.“Thats not true!” The eldest girl protested. “You may have gave poor Rina a fright, but not I.”
“I was not scared, Emmy.” Rina said with a simple little voice.
“Now don't you two worry your heads. The master's sons are more frightful than any siren.” She laughed again. “Those three are rotten to the core if ye' ask me.
