The Uprising
Ally's POV
"You look beautiful tonight." Austin said seductively as he nibbled on my ear. We were sitting in his black jeep. It was almost the end of our first date. Mom's stupid curfew may I add. We were in a secluded parking lot that would show old movie films on the top of a building. Austin thought it would be romantic and I liked the idea that he was going all out for our first date.
"You don't look to bad yourself." I teased lightly as he kissed my neck. It has been 2 months that we have been together also 2 months since my heart was brutally ripped out of my chest and used for the destruction of the immortal world..ha funny how fast one thing changes your life.
After the movie ended and everyone had their share of 'whoops' and cheers Austin backed out of the parking lot space and drove down the road for once at normal speed.
"Leave your window open tonight." Austin said turning into my neighborhood.
"Why?"
"Maybe I want to check up on my girlfriend. Are you suggesting that I don't come?" He asked with a playful smirk. I nudged his shoulder. "Don't even."
"Hey it was just a thought." he said coming to a stop in my driveway. I grabbed my bag and slung it over my shoulder, slipping my phone into my back pocket. Suddenly his phone chimed. But he kept his eyes on me. "Aren't you going to get that?" I asked.
"Nah, I'll answer it later." he leaned in to kiss me but I put my finger to his lip. "Oh playing hard to get aren't we?" he said the corners of his mouth curving into a small playful but arrogant smile.
I reached for his lap and grabbed his phone. He reached out but I was too quick for him as I went through his inbox. "You've been texting Artemis?" I asked in shock.
"Ally it was just a simple text. Nothing to fret about."
Artemis was Austin's ex girlfriend. She obviously wanted Austin to herself but that wasn't going to happen while I was around. I'll admit i was a bit scared of what Artemis would do to me if I ever tested her.
"Look Ally. I only have eyes for one person and that's you. It was always has been, Artemis means nothing to me." he coaxed.
"Then why are you texting her?" I convicted.
"Ally do we have to talk about this it's not really a big deal." he intertwined our fingers together but something felt off about the way he was acting. "What's really going on?" I asked. It sounded more like a plea but it was so practical I didn't even know what it sounded like myself.
Austin sat there his face firm and serious. But something was bothering him I could just sense it. "Can we talk about this later Ally? I have to be somewhere."
"Yeah probably making out with Artemis.." I mumbled under my breath. Austin tilted my chin, "Don't be getting jealous on me now. I only have room for one girl in my life and that's you Ally." He kissed my lips softly. Every worry seemed to disappear into thin air. His lips carefully moving over mine made my body tingle with delight. We were soon interrupted by his phone going off yet again.
He answered it quickly then shoved it back in his pocket and went in for another kiss but I stopped him.
"I'm 5 minutes pass curfew. I'll see you later?" I asked stepping out of the jeep. He gave a slight nod and started the engine once again. I smiled as he backed out of the driveway and drove off into the night.
I heaved a sigh and quickly walked up the front porch of the house. Just as I was about to unlock the door it swung open.
"Allison Marie Dawson. You are 7 minutes past curfew." she retorted.
"I was just out with a friend." My mom didn't approve of Austin in anyway. She knew about my relationship with him and didn't want me to have anything to do with him from the minute he dropped me off at home the night of Titan's curse.
"You were out with that Justin kid weren't you." she convicted. I gave an aggravated sigh, "His names Austin. Not Justin."
"Justin, Austin same thing." she bluffed.
"But they start with totally different lett-"
She interrupted, "Just go upstairs to your room. I'm letting you off with a warning this time. Second one I won't be so generous." she said with a playful smile.
I smiled back and gave her a quick hug before stepping inside and running up the stairs. I slammed my door shut and flung my leather bag to the side of the room.
I walked over to my window and unlocked it. I was so excited for Austin to come over tonight but I couldn't help but let my thoughts wonder to what important thing he was hiding from me. Is he dating Artemis behind my back? Is Artemis trying to distract him and then make a move on me at the most unpredictable time?
I was thinking about it so much that it gave me a headache. I decided to slide into some warm pajama bottoms and a tank. I plopped onto the bed and tucked myself in sinking into the warmth of my bed.
Suddenly I felt the weight of my bed sink. "I don't get why you're so infatuated with this bed," Austin said, "It's 11 inches too short, 3 feet too narrow and the yellow sheets aren't doing it for me. My bed, on the other hand..."
I opened one eye and found Austin stretched out on the bed right beside me. I turned my back to the wall to face Austin. I smirk crept upon his pink lips.
"Someone's a little playful." now it was my turn to smirk. "And someone's been thinking." He protested putting a finger on my forehead. I just had to tell him my thoughts I couldn't keep it inside anymore.
"Why were you texting Artemis behind my back? Is there something I should know about?" I asked reluctantly. I wanted to put this behind us, I really did but something was urging me to find the answers that he refused tell.
"Ally everything is just fine. You don't have to worry."
"But I don't know what I am supposed to worry about." I said. He sat there for a moment pondering my statement. I could tell he was deep in thought but I didn't know exactly what he was hesitating about.
He let out the softest of sighs, "Artemis and I have been tracking down this immortal group that has threatened to invade and overthrow the human and immortal race."
"A group?" I asked laying on my side. He intertwined our fingers his touch sending shivers up and down my spine.
"They call themselves the Nyx." his tone shuddered under the word. "Um... am I supposed to be scared?" I asked.
"Maybe you, but definitely not me."
"Then why are you tracking them down if they aren't a physical threat to you." I asked. "They aren't a threat to me they are a threat to humans and immortals. My main task is to stop them from doing any harm." he said folding his arms behind his head. I saw dark lines underneath his eyes he looked tired and exhausted.
"So what are they apparently threatening us with?"
"Their powers. Nyx means gods and goddesses of the dark night. They are basically associated with the underworld." he stated easily. This scared me a little, knowing they could strike at any minute.
"Who are they targeting?"
"Artemis and I." he said blandly. "Wait why?"
"They know we have communication to Mount Olympus. They want to destroy Mount Olympus and make it the new underworld. Hades is crazy if you ask me."
"What is capturing you and Artemis got to do with taking over Mount Olympus?" I asked.
"They'll try to control our bodies. Force us to open the gates of Mount Olympus under our own will and probably lead the gate keeper of the underworld up to Mount Olympus. Then after that we will be sent to the underworld forced to be chained down there and tormented and possibly after that they will try to take over the human race. Nyx believe that there is no reason for mortals like you guys to walking upon the earth."
"Wow...that's a deal breaker." I said shyly. A sudden urge of fear rushed through my body.
He grabbed my waist pulling me closer to his body, he smelled like soap, mint and lavender. He caressed my hair and laid his head upon mine, "I won't let them tear us apart Ally. Nothing can not even the gods ridiculous rules. I would do anything for you, anything." He kissed my lips as he cupped my face.
I wrapped my arms around his neck as he got on top of me. His warmth sending tingles through my body, his fingers laced through mine gave me a shock of electricity. If only he could feel the way he makes me feel.
He kissed my lips then my neck then my hand as heat rushed over my body. It was a warm fuzzy feeling I couldn't deny.
Suddenly the door swung open and I screamed, "Mom!"
"Allison...!?" she questioned in confusion.
"What are you doing in here!?" I yelled pulling the blankets over my body. "Oh I didn't know it was such a crime to check up on my daughter."
"I'm sorry.. I just had a nightmare and you scared me when you came in." I lied.
"Well just go back to bed it's 11:35 get some sleep. I'll see you tomorrow morning." with that she came over and kissed my cheek before walking out and closing the door.
"Austin?" I whisper yelled. I'm sorry princess but I have to go. I'll see you tomorrow. Austin's voice echoed in my mind.
I couldn't tell how he could mind speak to me but I've never found interest in it. I smiled to myself before sliding under the covers and snuggling into my pillow as silence filled the room and drowned out the negative thoughts of what may be of Austin and I...
