Sassy Song #3
You are rare and special. Probably more so than Morgana knows because she’s been ignoring you. I do not think your mother knows the Merrick’s plan to kill you. I think very little of Morgana at this moment, but I do know she wouldn’t let that happen.
I’m sure in her mind, you’ll live a life with anything you desire.
The Merrick’s are rich, and after a lifetime of being deprived of material things Morgana believes that’s what you want.
It’s why she’s having you live the way you do.
Your mother wants you to be so sad and depressed you accept whatever sliver of interaction they offer you. Even a loveless, abusive marriage.
We are still trying to find your brother, but it’s not our focus. As you said, Lux is protected, you are the one that needs us most. We can help you find him though. Your mother is the reason we can’t find you, or you’d be home by now.
I won’t deny your mother not mentioning our sons to you makes sense to me, but it also hurts. Our boys are great men, but Morgana’s plans wouldn’t work if you found us. While it’s a move I understand, it cuts me deep as well.
Do NOT marry Luke. Don’t be alone with him, ever. If he gets close to you, get to water, any body of it, and wish for us. For Caspian. I know that sounds weird, just do it as it is your only chance. It might not work, but all avenues are worth exploring. Please do that for me.
I do wish all these circumstances would stop lining up for you to believe we are the mob. I do understand why you think that though. You have your books. We aren’t something you can understand with the terms you have.
Your brothers do enjoy the running mob joke. Caspian pretends it annoys him, and to a degree it does, but he smiles. He’s a serious one, but you make Cas smile. So, no matter what my boys say keep your joke going. They like it because they like you.
I will not let you be fodder in this war. We will come for you if the Merrick’s bring you in before you are ready to tell us where you are. They are counting on us not knowing about you, but we do. In that, they have lost their advantage.
I also think they don’t see you clearly at all. You are kind and sweet. Connecting with us is enforcing pieces in you that they didn’t want to form. I know that doesn’t make sense, but one day it will. Hopefully soon even.
DO NOT FOLLOW THAT DIET! I suspected, but it’s repulsive that Morgana’s doing this to you. It’s yet another unforgivable thing she’s doing. Meat is important to us. Your mother is messing with your body chemistry.
We NEED protein. Quite a lot of protein, sugars, and fats. Dairy is also important for us. Please, please, know there’s nothing wrong with that diet for others. Just not people with your body chemistry. It’s wrong and it’s hurting you. Do not follow that at all. Listen to your friend.
You are so strong, Odette. I’m honestly quite proud of the things you are doing.
It must be quite hard to be you right now.
There is so much going on that you don’t understand.
Things you are probably trying to convince yourself are wrong.
Trust your gut and your song. The mind isn’t always right, but you can trust your instincts.
Do you know the name of Luke’s someone else? It could be important. I wish you luck with the law of your land. Do keep me up to date on how that goes. You were not born to be bred. We all do die eventually, but that is not your purpose in life.
You will have a long, full life. The Merrick’s are not good people, and they couldn’t find their head from their ass if they tried. Luke would not slit your throat, it’s not his specialty as you called it. Just protect yourself.
We are safe, it’s you we fear for. We are asking for your trust and implore, we aren’t above begging, you to give it. The Merrick’s are watching us because we are watching them. We are stronger than they are, I promise you that. It’s why they want you. Trust your gut.
My last question for you is do you have a pet?

I was about to reply when Sassy started singing. I squealed and got up to unlock the door. I grabbed my fake swords and stood a few feet back like I was ready to attack. Keaton knocked. I called, “Enter if you dare.”
I heard him chuckle then my man opened the door and dropped an overnight bag. Keaton growled when he saw me. Sassy started happily singing again. Keaton sounded as though he was restraining himself, “Odette, what…?” I interrupted, “I’m Deadpool.”
Keaton eyed my sword and I literally saw him springing to attention. Really? It was a fake sword. My boyfriend was clearly into swords though. Keaton started to come towards me, but I giggled and ran from him.
Keaton was on me faster than I could blink. I gasped, “How are you the basketball star? You should be the track star. Seriously. I’m usually faster than most people.” He ran his hands over my outfit. Sassy was content and happy in my head.
Keaton nibbled my ear, “You’re so sexy and mine.” Then his lips were on mine. When Keaton slid his tongue into my mouth, everything went to hell. Sassy started hissing with a vengeance. I tried to pull back but instead started sucking on his tongue.
Keaton froze, literally, he wasn’t even blinking. I tried to back away, but I couldn’t. That made me start crying. Blue lines, that looked like shimmering water, were appearing on Keaton’s skin. There were lines going from his neck to his lips.
What was happening? Sassy was still making me suck on Keaton’s tongue. I was starting to feel sick. Suddenly I flew backwards from him. I gasped, “Key.” My boyfriend was still frozen. I screamed “No! Oh god. What did I do? Key, please move.” The blue lines were still there on his face.
I grabbed his hand, but nothing happened.
I cried, “Sassy, help me! What did we do?” Her song sounded garbled, like she was drunk.
I felt like I was going to throw up at any moment.
I hugged Keaton, “I’m so sorry, Key. I don’t know what I did.
No, ok. This is not happening. I fell asleep and I’m dreaming. NO! I’m hallucinating. That’s it.”
I nodded, “Ok, I’m hallucinating. People’s faces don’t shimmer with blue lines because you suck on their tongue, Odette. God, I’m going to be sick.” I ran to my phone, pulled up my email, and called the first person I thought of: Caspian.
My mob boss brother answered, “I would very much like you to stop hanging up on me.” I sobbed, “I did something, and I don’t know what though.
I must have hurt him. He’s not moving and he’s glowing blue, I feel like I’m going to be sick.
Why isn’t he moving? He’s standing up. He’s ok.
Right? This isn’t happening. Am I on drugs? Caspian, I don’t know what to do.”
Caspian calmly said, “Odette, take a deep breath. Your song boy is fine, you wouldn’t hurt him.” I whispered, “You don’t know that.” Caspian argued, “Think about hurting him.” I physically reacted, just thinking about it.
I cringed, “I can’t.” Caspian said, “Exactly, walk me through what happened.” I whispered, “We were kissing, then when his tongue entered my mouth Sassy started hissing. Then…” Caspian interrupted, “I’m sorry, who is Sassy?”
I quickly explained, “My sassy song. I call her Sassy for short. The thing is she wouldn’t let me stop.” Caspian asked, “How long did it take?” I looked around for a clock saying, “It felt like a few seconds…” I trailed off when I spotted the time.
I screamed, “It’s been a two hours! Oh my god! I need to call an ambulance. Why do I keep calling you? THINK, ODETTE!” Caspian practically ordered, “DO NOT hang up if you want your song boy to return to normal.”
I asked, “Can you help him?” Caspian answered, “I can. That's why you called me and on some level you know that.” I cried, “I don’t understand.” My brother consoled me, “I know you don’t. I’ll help you though it and everything will be ok.” His words actually helped me calm down.
I was trying to stop crying then I saw Keaton unmoving, I started all over again.
I heard Caspian mutter, “Harpies. Now we have to deal with Harpies? God, what’s next?
This is ridiculous.” What was he talking about?
Did the mob say harpy instead of bitch? They didn’t in my books, but I found myself giggling because that was kind of funny.
Caspian quickly asked “Odette, can you get to a body of water without being seen?” I confidently said, “Yes, but I can’t leave my song boy.” Caspian assured me, “He won’t remember that you left, and he can’t come out of it until you do exactly as I say.”
I muttered, “I’m never going to that burger place again.
They must have put hallucinogenic drugs in my drink or something.
” Caspian snorted, “Sure, just get to a body of water.” I grabbed my keys.
I told my dog, “I’ll be back, Tatum.” She barked and grabbed her leash. I sighed, “You can’t come with me.”
Caspian sounded amused, “Did you get a dog?” I answered, “Yes, she’s a very cute well trained puppy. I’ll send you a picture.” Caspian chuckled, “Please do that but bring the dog with you. She can help protect you.”
What? My brother must think I got an attack dog, when in reality Tatum was a very small dog. Ugh. Whatever. I put her leash on and grabbed my keys. I locked the door and quickly made my way out the side of the building.
I groaned, “I should’ve changed.” I heard another man ask, “Why is that?” I snorted, “Because I’m running around in a Sexy Deadpool outfit! That’s why. Who am I speaking to?” Everyone started laughing.
Caspian answered, “That was Cornelius.” I snorted, “I’m sorry. Your names that I know of so far as Caspian, Cordelius, and now Cornelius. Mom is really unimaginative. What are the rest of your names? Keep in mind, I’m certain the C names continue.”
