AN: I just love long titles (the full title is too long to post) :D Anyway this is up by popular demand and is a sort-of sequel to my other story Living in a Dream. (Read it!) Now we will find out who is Kimi and why was she in La Push to begin with? It won't be a very long mutli-chapter but I want to try for an update every week. Keep in mind though; my other multi-chapter (A Love Unheard, Read it!) has been seriously neglected. I will try to keep both updated as well. The prologue takes place right after the ending of Living in a Dream. Do enjoy and remember to REVIEW!
Summary: The mystery of Kim is discovered in a few easy conversations. A normal girl with a normal family, living a normal life. Most people think that Kim's life began to get interesting when a certain wolf took interest in her. What most people don't know is how Kim is actually Kimi and her life has been anything but normal.
Warnings: Rated T for language, violence, suggestive thoughts and because Kimi is a bit of a party girl. (BTW all chapter names will be long because I find them interesting and funny.)
The Surprisingly Shocking but Strangely Mysterious Back Story of Kimi, Daughter of Apollo
Prologue: Every girl has their secrets… Mine just include Monsters, seven half siblings, a thieving boyfriend and an enchanted necklace
My lips tingled from being used after such a long time and Connor took no time in reclaiming his territory. He knew the wolfs were watching and he wanted to be clear that I was His. Hey, said the Son of Hermes is pretty possessive. I guess when you live with about eleven thieving siblings (including a jokester of a twin brother) you had a tendency to be slightly possessive. I really didn't care.
I also knew the wolfs were watching but I could have cared less. All that was important was the fact that Connor had me safe in his arms again. Even the annoying voice of Travis couldn't ruin our moment. I was currently standing in my "room" in my mortal family's house. I was trying to pack in a rush but my thoughts kept drifting to Connor and my soon arrival back at my true home, camp.
I miss Michael and Will doing their crazy older brother things (even though Will was only a month older than me, he never let me live it down) I miss Louis thinking of different arrows that we can shoot (that boy is smart enough to be in Athena) I miss Kayla, and Nene and all our girls nights in the bathroom of our cabin (it's the only private place that we could find!) I also miss Tommy and Austin running around causing up trouble (trouble that Michael, Will and I always had to clean up) They were my family and I missed them like crazy.
I touched the photo frame that they gave me right before I left. It was a picture of all of us, being our normal ridiculous selves. Across the bottom, in block letters Kayla had written: NOTHING LIKE APOLLO'S KIDS! I love them.
"Kimi! Hurry up!" Travis yelled at me. I threw the frame into my almost full backpack. The backpack had a few changes of cloths, a book of healing, the photo frame, ambrosia and nectar, as well as my bathroom supplies. When you live your life never knowing what will happen next, you tend to have few possessions. After Lee died in the Battle of the Labyrinth, I realized that people, my family and friends, meant more that any knick-knack. I left all the things Jared had gotten me behind and I followed Travis out the door. Connor met us outside and we ran into the forest together.
Jared. Jared the wolf boy. Jared who loved me because I was his imprint. No Jared loved Kim, my other personality I made up for this mission. He did not love me, Kimi, he loved Kim. He loved Kim, he loved-
"KIM!" His voice screamed at me. The entire wolf pack had surrounded us. Connor murmured a curse in Greek and drew his sword. Travis looked eager to fight and I had an arrow notched. "Kim, please." His voice broke. It was actually a little humorous to see a big man like Jared, almost in tears, practically begging for me.
"Kim. Please listen to us." Sam stepped forward. "We don't want to hurt you, we consider you a part of our family, of our pack-"
"She already has a family!" Connor snapped.
"Yeah! And they'll have our heads if we return her home injured!" Travis spoke with sharpness. I could see Michael and Will attack Connor and Travis and I had to stifle a laugh. Everyone looked strangely at me and I realized that I hadn't really stifled my laugh and now I looked crazy.
"Sam, I would never attack La Push or purposely put our tribe into danger." I tried to sound as sincere as I could in this situation. It was all true though. The last thing I would want was innocent people getting hurt. Especially the innocent people I grew up with.
"Then explain that weird lizard thing that attacked you." Sam asked. He was speaking like a true alpha in this case. He was caring and wanting to protect his people. I remembered that same attitude from Lee. I bit my lip and looked down. Do not think about him Kimi!
"That was an accident. The dracaenae found me. It was not my intent-"
Sam cut me off "WOAH! Wait drac-a-WHAT?" He was completely flabbergasted and I fought the urge to laugh.
"Dracaenae is the name of the lizard thing. It's a monster that-" For the second time I was cut off, but this time by Connor.
"Um, Kimi, Why can they see through the mist?" He asked.
"The mist?" Sam repeated looking at me.
"Easy! They are wolfs!" I quickly realized my mistake and covered my mouth. The wolfs jaws dropped and half stared, half glared at me. "oops.."
"How on Earth ddid you figure that out?" Jared yelled. Sam looked like he was trying to decide to kill me or interrogate me. I didn't mean to blab their secret bur everyone knew in this little circle.
"It's not like they don't already know!" I motioned to Connor and Travis. Travis was shaking his head a murmuring about how I could not keep a secret for the life of me and Connor was rubbing the bridge of his nose. He had a headache. Oops….
"Okay we know everything about the La Push wolf pack because I was sent here to spy on you! To determine whose side you were on!" I defended myself.
"Who is "we"? And why would the wolfs be on a side? What is with the monsters and medieval weaponry and-" Jared's voice broke again.
"Kim. We welcome you into our tribe and the least you could do tell us your side of the story." Sam motioned angrily. I guess he didn't like being on the outs of something.
I made a decision on the spot. Turing to the twins I realized they had the same idea. "If they knew they could be on our side if things got ugly. Damn. I sound like Annabeth." Travis sighed.
Connor only nodded to me and I turned back to Sam and the rest of the pack. I put my arrow back into my quiver and tapped a button on my bow. My quiver retracted into a necklace while my bow and arm guards turned into a bracelet on my left wrist. My bracelet was think leather but had a sun amulet in it so it looked sort of like a watch. My necklace had that same pendant but it hung around my neck by a gold chain.
I ignored the gasps as they saw the magic taking place. "What do you want to know?" I asked calmly. Connor and Travis stood like body guards behind me.
"Start at the beginning." Sam prompted.
I took a deep breath and prayed that I was doing the right thing. "So, the beginning,"
AN: A nice little cliffy right there :D I am really excited for this story because it is going to be different from anything else I have written! I don't have a set plan yet, so I am open for ideas. But it will start the summer of the Battle of the Labyrinth and go on from there. There will be sibling love, Connor and Kimi fluff as well as drama and action! I am planning on about seven to ten chapters.
There are pictures of the Stolls as well as a description of Kimi on my profile. I really hope you enjoyed this so leave your thoughts!
RW3~
