Trapped in a lullaby

The house was still shaking and falling apart, my friends and I were under a table waiting for the shaking to stop. As it stopped all of us got out of the table, "what was that?!" asked Mary looking panicked and walking in circles, as everyone was complaining I heard a sweet and calm lullaby nearby, so I walked out of the room my friends, and I were in, then search for where the voice came from, and eventually I found a room that has the loudest sound of the lullaby, I walked inside and saw a girl with white hair and red eyes she also kind of had some stains in her clothes, I looked at her as she was still singing until I realized that she stopped singing and was looking at me, she stood up and looked at me with a stern face and her glowing red eyes felt like she was staring at my soul "uh hello?" I said as she was still looking at me up and down but then raised her hands, and I was pushed to the wall by a strong force then began choking me making me unable to breathe, as I was about to faint I heard the girl say something "you humans have no right to destroy our home and slay our kind, I came back to the human world to get my revenge" I fainted before I could even react to what she said, what does she mean by that? But whatever it is it does not look good at all. I woke up and saw my friends "Nathalie! You're okay!" Mary said hugging me tightly, and I hugged her back, Luca helped me get up, and I wasn't even thinking about my friends for a second since I was thinking of what that girl told me before I fainted. All of us decided to stay and explore the place for a while, all of us were into groups, Daniel and Mary were going together while I was left with Issac and Luca, we went upstairs and saw a room filled with old books and scrolls it seemed like this room is a library, the three of us searched for some clues inside books and found nothing, after a while of searching Issac found a scroll with pictures of the ancient times.

We opened the scroll just to see pictures of sirens and humans, it says here "Long ago, sirens have a close connection to humans and lived in peace and harmony but all of that changed when a group of humans arrived at the territory of the sirens, destroying and slaughtering every single one of them, they say the humans were only after the sirens treasure, everyone thought that they killed all of them but not knowing there's still one left, my friends and I searched every single one of a clue if there's still one siren left, and eventually we found a house in the middle of the woods, as we came inside the door shut completely my friend wanted to explore the place, but I was trying to open the door and as I did, so I saw my friend covered in blood and crawled towards me warning me to leave and never come back then something in the shadows pulled my friend and from that day on I never saw my friend every again the last thing I heard of her was a calm sweet lullaby. H3LP M3" and as we were reading it my gut tells me I shouldn't worry about the scroll since I felt a shiver through my spine looking around our surroundings, after a moment all of us head back to the main door to see if Daniel and Mary have found some clues somehow but as we were heading there we heard a loud terrible noise that made our ears hurt, we all covered our ears and saw the girl once again. "Who are you, and why are you here!" Issac asked the girl as she just grinned looking at the three of us "who am I? I'm your worst nightmare" she said as she disappeared, and then a wooden pillar fell on the door blocking our way out.

We tried to get out but there was no point, we were stuck and the only way to get out is by waiting for Mary and Daniel to eventually find us. We decided to find more clues about this place and why it was made, is it for protecting the girl or is it something else? We searched and searched for hours hoping that we can find any clue but nothing at all and there was no sign that our friends will find us, I eventually gave up since my legs were sore for standing too long, and after a minute of resting Issac found something that seems to be written in a strange and weird language that we don't understand at all it says " Η οικογένειά μου και εγώ κάναμε ένα κανονικό πικνίκ κοντά στο σπίτι μας, όταν μια ομάδα ανθρώπων κατέστρεψε το σπίτι μας και έσφαξε τις άλλες σειρήνες, η οικογένειά μου και εγώ προσπαθήσαμε να ξεφύγουμε, αλλά ήμουν τόσο φοβισμένος που κρύφτηκα κάτω από το τραπέζι του σπιτιού μας και μετά όλα είχαν τελειώσει, είδα κάθε Σειρήνα νεκρή και μοιάζω σαν να είμαι η μόνη ζωντανή, ορκίζομαι με τα βάθη της καρδιάς μου ότι θα πάρω την εκδίκησή μου από τους ανθρώπους μια μέρα. Άρχισα λοιπόν να κάνω το σπίτι μια μαγική βάση τηλεμεταφοράς που μπορεί να με κάνει να πάω οπουδήποτε σε όλο τον κόσμο, ήταν ωραίο να πάρω την εκδίκησή μου, αλλά ήμουν μόνος και μου έλειπε η ευτυχία που μοιραζόταν η οικογένειά μου σε αυτό το σπίτι." we all had no clue on what it says so we decided to keep it and show it to the others later and ask if they know what it is, for now all of us are just gonna have some rest.
