Chapter 177: The sirens
"Don’t lie to me, Artemis. Don’t say that you don’t feel it," the girl walked to him, and he barely raised his brows at her.
"What exactly do you want me to feel, Hera? Should I feel you? But for that, you will have to come close to me and let me inside you so that -"
"This is not something to joke about, Artemis. I am being serious this time," Hera thinned her lips and looked at the sea thoughtfully.
"That vampire ship, don’t you feel like something is weird there? I don’t know why but I have been feeling like this ever since that ship entered our area. It’s like there is someone who is one of us, or a part of us," Hera explained, and Artemis rolled his eyes.
"Yeah, and that’s why like a stupid girl, you went near the ship, risking not only yours but the entire Coral clan’s lives," Artemis asked, and Hera looked away.
"In my defense, no one was believing my words. I was telling you guys that I feel it. There is an energy on that ship that is calling out to me. You know my senses are the strongest, don’t you?" Hera looked at him, wanting an affirmation.
He sighed and closed his book.
"Look, Hera. I believe you. Maybe you indeed felt something, but what about the rest of us? We didn’t feel anything at all. And logically speaking, do you really think there would be a Siren on that vampire ship? Who wants to invite death like that when our species is already declining?" Artemis made a point, and Hera knew she didn’t have anything to say to that.
He was right in a way. Everything he said was right, even if it hurt to understand, but she indeed put her and everyone’s life in danger.
