Dark Blue Destiny and Tenison
(A.N.) Hi, I wanted to try something new with my characters. This story is about my two camp half-blood characters Tenison Hightower and Destiny Blue except they are both twenty-two (legal drinking age here in the United States), aren't demigods (in this story) and they live in New York city. Tenison is heart-broken and Destiny just needs to find some-one to hold close to her heart. What will happen when Destiny walks into Dionysus's dark blue bar? Will they find out that they need each other? Read more to find out! Dark Blue- by Jack's Mannequin *NOT A SONG-FIC*
Chapter 1: The bar, the abusive and the savior
Destiny's point of view: I looked up at the sign for Dionysus's dark blue bar and remembered what Annabelle had said. "Find someone in Dionysus's dark blue bar because many guys walk in there because they are either heart-broken or they need an angel like you to walk through the door, that's how I met Adam and I think you could find some-one valuable in there." I pushed open the heavy door and stepped in to the smoky, drunk crowded bar. As I waded through the crowd I felt I tug on my arm and when I tried to pull away the tug pulled harder. I heard some guy say "Hey sugar lips where are you going so soon?" I turned around to face a man in his late forties with greasy black hair and brown eyes. I almost gagged at the smell he gave off as if he hadn't showered in a few months (and probably hasn't since last year), cigarette smoke and alcohol. He growled and asked "what do I stink to you?" He forced me backwards into a bar stool and got close. After I tried to stand he pushed me back into my seat and said "you aren't going anywhere Ms. Prissy." He leaned in closer to my face and someone tapped on his shoulder. He turned and in that quick second the person socked him in the face making the forties guy fly backwards into me. The person pulled the forties guy up by his shirt and turned around to throw him in the crowd of people. In just a few seconds people were knocked over and alarm sounds blared. The person picked me up and flew out the door before bouncers could drag the person out themselves.
"Careful please!" I cried out as the man (I suppose he's a man) jumped over a fence and into an alley way. He dropped down from the fence and pulled us both against a wall. "W-"I had started saying but he put his hand over my mouth as people ran by the alley. In that time I finally got a good look at who saved me or has now captured me. He had dark jet black hair, crystal blue eyes with bags and dark circles underneath. He had on a blue flannel and jeans on. He wore converse and a slight smile. When the running died off he took his hand off my mouth and let out a breath and so did I and I didn't even know that I was holding it. "Thanks I guess…my hero I suppose?" I asked. He looked me over and said "sure whatever you want but I usually go by Tenison." "Why did you do that anyways and I'm Destiny." I said. He cracked a grin and said "He was so going to kill you or something like that and I don't want to see a beautiful girl get killed by a grump like him." I blushed and stifled a laugh. "Oh, sorry I shouldn't have opened my big mouth." He said flushing a small amount of pink. "No its ok I just haven't been called beautiful much less pretty in a long time." "Why not you look flawless, where's your boyfriend isn't he supposed to be around to call you beautiful, pretty or flawless?" I snorted and said "No I don't have a boyfriend and I am so not flawless, I'm fully flawed in all of the worst places." "Oh come on every one has to admit that a person's eye color is where everything's at unless you're me with these fearful crystal eyes." "Come on your girlfriend must marvel over how perfect your crystal blue eyes are and dark hair." "Did you know that mostly every blonde falls in love with a dark haired person or that a dark haired person falls in love with a blonde?" I asked. He looked away and said "yeah totally about the blonde and dark haired lovers thing but I don't have a girlfriend to complain over my wild dark hair or blue eyes." "Complain? Please if it were me I would totally marvel over you." We flushed pink and turned away from each other. There were a bunch of footsteps and someone shined a flashlight into the alley. We started to stand and as soon as the flashlight landed on us there was yelling. Soon they knocked a board of wood out of the fence's place. Tenison started running the other way grabbing my hand and dragging me along with him. That's how I met Tenison Hightower but there still is more.
Chapter 2: He saved my life now I need to save his
Destiny's point of view: I wished that I hadn't worn my heels today. As I tried to snap the heels off the other part of my shoes I sprained my right ankle after finally getting both of them off. I winced with every step I took and Tenison picked me up saying "why didn't you just ask." I saw my apartment building and said "quick get in the blue and green building!" He didn't decide to ask why he looked backwards and flew into my apartment building. He took the stairs and asked "which floor?" "Tenth floor, apartment two six one." I said. He groaned and kept charging up the stairs. When we got there I pounded on the door and screamed "Annabelle hurry and open up. A few seconds later Annabelle my roommate opened the door and got a sappy look on her face. I rolled my eyes and said "I'll tell you later." Tenison walked in and I immediately shut the door locking it. "Whoa what did you do?" Annabelle asked. "We were in a candy store buying gum Annabelle!" "We were running from I don't know an angry guy in his forties and the cops!" I said sarcastically. Her eyes got wide and she asked "Why were you running from the cops?" "The guy in his forties tried to kiss me and I don't know what he would do after that besides kill me and then Tenison saves my life, drags me out of the bar and into an alley then up here." I told her my run on sentence. There was knocking on the door and Annabelle looked out of the peep hole thingy. She shooed us with her hands and said "one minute please." I pointed the way for Tenison into my room and back into my closet. We got squeezed together and he still was holding me bridal style. "Thank you so much." He said. "It's not a problem besides Annabelle already knows how to lie to the cops, her boyfriend Adam is kind of a mischief maker." I whispered. "Is your ankle ok?" he asked quietly. "Yeah it's just sprained and is killing me." I winced. He set me down so he could face my ankle. It was red and swelling and not very attractive. "As soon as we get out of this closet I'll fix this." He promised. "You don't need to do that besides you must have to keep running and get home." He averted his eyes from me and it clicked. "You don't have a home do you?" I asked. "No I don't I only have my little brother who's twelve years old and is sitting in an alley right now waiting for me." He said quietly. "You have to bring your little brother here Tenison is he safe down in that alley alone?" I asked. Tenison didn't answer but he did say "I wish I could do something to help him besides giving him off to some foster care or something like that and our dad doesn't care anymore, I don't know where that jerk went." "Why did she break up with you Tenison?" I asked. "She learned that I didn't have a home and knew that she couldn't help me and to crush my life even more she dumped me." He whispered. I started leaning forward to hug him and Annabelle opened the closet door. "They left and Adam's here" she said. I started to stand and Tenison helped me up. "Come on where's the first aid kit or whatever you have?" Tenison asked leading me into the living room. "Who's that?" Adam asked plopping himself next to Annabelle on the couch. She whispered something in his ear and Adam snorted saying "really?" She nodded and said "soon enough." When Tenison found the first aid kit he started pulling off my ruined shoes and fixed up my ankle. I winced and said "ow" every few seconds and he said "sorry." I gripped my arms to my sides hoping it would help the pain. "We need to go get your brother here now Tenison, I'm really worried about both of you." "I can't have you worrying over the both of us Destiny." He said finished. I started standing and Tenison caught me. "We're bringing you two here Tenison, your ex-girlfriend may have not wanted to help but I do." "What if I was a criminal then what would you say" he breathed. "We ran from the cops we are already criminals Tenison." He flushed red and set me back down. "I got to go" he said flustered. "Be careful Tenison" I said just before he closed the front door. I hobbled over to the window and opened it up to the fire escape. "What are you going to do?" Annabelle asked. "Look" I said climbing out onto the fire escape. Tenison was already downstairs and he was hiding his face in the darkness. I watched as he turned a corner and slipped away from sight. I heard laughing from back inside. Annabelle laughed at Adam who was burying his face in her hair. I slightly smiled at my two friends. "You have to go do something Destiny, if you let him slip away like that you might never find him again." Annabelle said. "He saved my life now I just might have to save his."
