A.N – First attempt at an AU story with the Grey's cast, I do hope you like. It might be a little messy at parts, especially with the flashbacks, etc. But I'm getting there, hopefully.
Chapter 1: Memories
*Flashback*
The sixteen year old blonde paced her room nervously, "I'm gonna do it, yes now…. Right". She finally mustered the courage to walk downstairs, wondering around until she spotted the older blonde in the kitchen cooking.
"Mom!"
"Yes dear?"
"I have to tell you something"
"Yes dear?" She answered absentmindedly whilst continuing to add spices to her pot.
"Moooooom! I'm serious, can you look at me?" The younger girl pouted.
Hearing the whine, the older woman paused immediately and turned around, putting on her most serious and stern face. "Yes dear?"
Not expecting the sudden change, the younger blonde panicked. "Um … I … er…"
The older blonde smiled and went to turn back to her cooking.
"I'm gay!" The teen blurted, then winced, she closed her eyes, expecting an explosion from her mother, screaming about hell, quoting the bible and throwing her out the house.
"I know dear." The younger blonde's eyes flew open and stared at her mother.
"You ... You know? What? How?" it was completely unexpected and had completely thrown her off her game.
"Yes dear," was the only reply she got before the older woman started stirring her pot again.
"Wait, that's it? You're not gonna throw me out the house or anything are you?" She had no idea what was going on, it had taken her a week before finally deciding to tell her parents about her sexuality.
The older blonde sighed before turning off the stove and sitting down at the table, motioning for her daughter to join her.
"I don't know what you're expecting me to do. I've always had my suspicions; you never were much interested in the boys you play with all the time. You were always so focused on rough housing with the boys, the only time your attention was drawn away was when there was a pretty girl nearby."
The teen blushed at her mother's revelation. "Mooooom! I was 12, there's no way you could've known then!"
"A mother always knows my dear."
"What do you think dad will say? You think he'd be okay with it?" Her biggest fear was her father's reaction. She adored her father, idolised him, and would be heart-broken if he rejected her.
"Don't worry about him dear, if he isn't okay with it, just send him my way. I'll make sure he accepts you" She reassured her daughter, patting her hand.
"So why have you suddenly decided to tell me now? Have you met someone? Is it from school? Any one that I've met yet?" The teen went bright red, her mother was enjoying far too much.
"Mooooooom!"
"Come on now, I thought this was sharing time? You've settled into this new neighbourhood quite well, and you just started classes at a new high school 2 months ago, I bet someone's caught your eye. That's why you're telling me right? You want to introduce her to us?" The older blonde clapped gleefully.
"No! … Well, not exactly. Yes someone's caught me eye, or I've got my eye on someone, whatever. Just, there's someone I like"
The older blonde grabbed her daughter into a fierce hug.
"Oh, you have to tell me about her, what's she like? Is she pretty? Oh, my daughter's in love!" The blonde swooned.
The teen giggled at her mom's behavior, but hugged back just as fiercely.
"I wouldn't say love just yet mom. But yes, she's pretty; no, she's more than that, she's gorgeous, and kind, and just all around amazing." The teen gushed.
"Oh, you have to tell me her name!"
"Of course, it's …"
*End Flashback*
"Gah!" The blonde woman shot up from her couch.
"Another nightmare?" came a voice to her left. She turned and saw a shadow sitting on her windowsill, looking out the window onto the streets below.
"Why are you in my front room"
"Why are you in your front room?" The shadow shot back, "Don't you have a pretty comfy bed in your room over there?"
"I got off late, last night, so I just crashed here. I couldn't be bothered to get into bed, I was too tired" The blonde shrugged. "Still haven't told me why you're here"
The shadow just shrugged and ignored the blonde's question. "So, nightmare?"
"I don't know. I think it's a memory, or something. Something from the past probably." For some reason she couldn't quite place the memory, she knew it was her, but from when? It didn't make sense to her.
The shadow stared at the blonde silently for a while before moving the sit next to the blonde on the couch.
"Past, as in past life? Or past, as in back when you were still…"
"I don't know!" The blonde cut off, "I can't remember, you know as well as I do T, my memories are lacking. When you found me, I didn't even know my own name. How long did it take before I could tell you who I was?"
The shadow held their hands up in a submissive way, "Woah, hey, I'm sorry Art, just trying to help ya know?" The shadow stood up again, "Oh by the way, I wanted to let you know that Apollo's coming back soon, he's got some information for us."
The blonde perked up considerable, "Tim's coming back? When?"
The shadow stared at the blonde, rolling their eyes, "Yes, Timothy's coming back. Tomorrow, most likely, if not, then by the end of the week."
The blonde nodded happily, "You know, I don't get why you can't just call us by our actual names? I mean I get the aliases, but still, must you always call us that?"
"No I don't …" They were interrupted by the sound of a pager going off, "Well, looks like it's work for you Doctor Robbins."
"Dammit! I just got home 4 hours ago!" The blonde moaned.
"No rest for the wicked my dear Artemis." They were interrupted by the sound of a second pager going. The blonde smirked up at her partner.
"Looks like you're being called in too, Doctor Ryans, ooh wait, or do you prefer Athena?" Athena stared at her un-amused. She turned to leave the apartment, heading towards the hospital, before she suddenly remembered.
"Oh hey, remember to feed before you leave, it's probably going to be a long day, I'll cover for you if you need the time." With that, she was gone, leaving the blonde to her thoughts.
"That conversation with my mother, why don't I remember it? My mother … I couldn't even see what her face looked like in my dream, why don't I remember her? Was that really my mother? What happened to me?"
The blonde sighed before getting up and walking to her fridge, the dream she'd had was still plaguing her thoughts.
"Oh, you have to tell me about her, what's she like? Is she pretty? Oh, my daughter's in love!"
"I wouldn't say love just yet mom. But yes, she's pretty; no, she's more than that, she's gorgeous, and kind, and just all around amazing." The teen gushed.
"Oh, you have to tell me her name!"
"Of course, it's …"
The blonde opened her fridge and reached inside,
"Of course…"
She pulled out a pack filled with a deep crimson liquid,
"Of course, it's …"
She sighed before revealing her fangs and sinking them deep into the blood pack.
"It's Callie, Callie Torres".
A.N – Right so far all you have to know is that Apollo, Artemis and Athena are all names of Greek Gods/Goddesses, you don't really need to know that much into the history of each Diety, that doesn't really matter, I'm really only using the names and other than small details, e.g. Apollo and Artemis are twins, Athena is really smart, and more that will be included later on.
A.N 2 – Also as a heads up I will be using a lot of the Greek Deities' names and some of the relationships, i.e. the brotherhood of Zeus, Poseidon and Hades, but you shall find out more later!
