~I cough and try to wipe the dust off me when I realize something, I just inhaled cheerleader dust.~
I gag, but swallow it down and start spitting trying to get the foul tasting dust out of my mouth.
"EW, EW, EW!" I yell wiping my mouth on Michael's sleeve, not trusting my clothing.
Michael sighed and tried to get the dust out of my hair," Yeah they kinda do that. Well I guess there's no hiding you now."
I look up at him," What do you mean, 'hide me' and what was with you guys calling me 'demigod'?"
He sighed," I'll tell you later, come on let's get you home."
We exited the bathroom and there on the floor was my backpack.
"I could have swore I left that in the locker room..."
Michael smiled sheepishly," Yeah I sorta brought it here."
I stared at him for a bit then just shook my head and picked it up and slung it over my shoulder. I was in a daze, as we walked through the school doors. 'Why were they calling me demigod? What kind of monstrosity was Helen? Why do I have to hide? Or more importantly, what am I hiding from?' My head swarmed with questions, but of corse I had to run right ito a lamp post.
I fell backwards, but Michael cuaght me. " Ow, ow, ow. Who put that there?"
Michael sighed and pushed me up on my own two feet. "Come on."
I followed him rubbing my head. We soon came up to an apartment building and I started up the stairs first, Michael knows his way around and can take the elevator.
I hear a clip clop behind me and see Michael following me... up the stairs? I look to his feet and see his shoes gone and hooves replacing his feet. I almost scream but he clamps a hand over my mouth and drags me up the stairs into my apartment.
He shuts the door behhind us and withdrawls his hand. "Ahhhhh." I half whisper half scream. My eyes dart from his hooves to his face and I am lost for words.
"Kaylee It's okay-" Michael starts, but I cut him off. "It is NOT okay Michael! What in the world is happening today?!"
Michael looks around nervously, 'Kaylee, I'll explain everything later, but we have to leave. Go pack a bag with stuff you need and be back in a few minutes."
I was to scared to argue so i did as I was told.
I went to my room and emptied my backpack. I throw two pairs of jeans, a tank top, a t-shirt, and a few other things in my backpack. I change out of my white jeans and green shirt into blue jeans, a teal t-shirt, and combat boots.
I sit on my bed and stare at the picture on my dresser, it was a picture of my mom. I don't remember much about her, but I remember her laugh, the way she would hold me when I was scared. She was always so happy and she loved sunny days, she used to tell me about my dad and how I looked so much like him. I looked at the picture and examined my mom. she was laughing, her brown hair blown about by the wind and happiness shone through her gray/blue eyes. I had her eyes and that's about where the resembelance stopped.
I grabbed the picture and put it in my backpack. I got up from my bed and walked over to my bookcase where a little yellow box sat. I opened it and picked up a gold necklace with a single bird charm. I clasped it around my neck, put on my aviators jacket, slung the backpack over my shoulder and walked out of my room.
Michael was waiting or me in the kitchen. He handed me a sandwhich, "Here, eat this."
I nodded and and took a bite while Michael wrote a note to my stepdad, Peter. Peter treated me well, he kept me fed and clothed but we never really got close. He lived his life and I lived mine.
I finished my sandwhich and followed Michael to. . . . the fire escape?
"Um... Michael what are we doing?" I asked as he stepped out the window onn the the platform.
"Look we need to get you out of here now and I need you not to ask me questions until later, okay? I will answer them, you just have to wait."
I nod and step out onto the fire escape, 'Out the fire escape we go!'
