Sunset looked up from her book, “Astronomia Nova" to glance at the voice speaking to her. She took notice of the former siren circling her, and she rolled her, sighing to herself and flipping the page.
“Aria, was it?” She said dully. “What do you want?”
Shimmer stomped on the sirens leg when she spoke up, twisting her heel in the wound before turning back at the siren, a scowl on her face. She was slightly taller then the young siren, and she tired to use her little bit of high to her advantage, appearing to try and tower over her. She puffed out a breath of hot air through her nose… and suddenly three her head back in laughter.
“Holy shit, you really are dense!” She cackled. “I don’t give a fuck about all that! What sickens me is all the little fantasies she’s had about you when she thinks I’m not paying attention!” She said, letting out a light snort.
She slapped her knees and wiped a tear from her eye and shot the siren a grin. “Oh, the desires she’s had… it’s disgusting.” She said with a shudder. “I may be a part of her, but at least I keep that shot to myself.” She said.
With another grin, she picked up the fallen siren and threw her at Sonatas feet. “Here. Take her,” she said. “And do yourself a favor: keep her in line, because next time she tries something like she did, I won’t stop until I turn her head into mush.”
Sonata felt her face grow warm at the demon’s confession. Part of it was because it felt like reading Sunset’s hidden diary. It felt wrong and intrusive. Even for a monster like her. And the other part was that she had not expected it. Caught off guard, she went to speak but held her tongue as her sister was tossed at her feet.
She gasped and ducked down to help her twin, tears welling up at the sight of Aria in such poor condition.
“…it wont’ happen again…” Sonata told Shimmer softly. “…but you really ought to go easier on your other self. We don’t choose our emotions.”
She would have held Aria’s hand but it was in poor condition, so she held her shoulder instead. Slowly she started lifting her sister. She was much stronger than she looked. Aria proved to be no obstacle for her and she flung the other siren over her shoulder to carry her over to the paramedics that had arrived.
“See that it doesn’t.” Shimmer said with a glare. “See ya around, Sonata.” Shimmer said, before making her way to her fallen jacket and sliding it on her shoulders. Giving it a small tug and a pat down, she looked over and saw the book Sunset was reading.
With a roll of her eyes, she picked it up and say down on the bench once again, turning the book to the front page, wondering if the bus would still be coming.
