How We Met
Hadrian POV
We're finally are in Forks! We were currently eating at Applebee's. Zoey wasn't eating at all, hmm…
"Zoey why aren't you eating" I asked through a mouthful of Alfredo Pasta. She wrinkled her nose at me, "I'm not eating because I'm saving my appetite for when we get to the house… I heard the gods made a cake but I'm not sure it will be edible…" her voice trailed off, looking outside the restraunt her eyes widened.
"Crap! There's Apollo! C'mon! We either go home now or we walk in rain!" She said standing up. Needless to say we went. Apollo was standing there he was holding a sign that said 'Zoey, Annalee, Hadrian, Jack, Andy, Harry, Chad'.
"Yo!" he said in a cheerful voice. "Yo, yourself, Apollo." Was Zoey's response, as she winced at his blinding smile.
He handed her three car keys saluted her and left. Awkward was the only word that came to mind.
We grabbed our luggage and walked outside. It was raining, and it was raining hard.
"It's raining, it's pouring! The old man is snoring! He jumped out of hit his head and couldn't get up in the morning! It's raining its pouring!" Zoey, Jack and Chad sang. Annalee and people who were passing by gave them weird looks while they continued to do what they were doing. People were around three plots gapping at something. Zoey tossed one key to Annalee and me. We unlocked our cars only to be surprised that the sound came from each of the plots that were surrounded. People turned looking for who owned the cars and others backed away from the cars.
"Jackie Chad! Shut the Hades up or I'll shut it for you!" Annalee yelled on the top of her lungs. We walked through the rain toward the plots. No one parted they stared at them bug eyed.
"HEY YOU BUG EYED LOSERS GET OUT OF THE WAY ALL OF YA ARE BLOCKING OUR WAY TO OUR CARS!" Zoey yelled they parted like the red sea.
The three cars were awesome. One of them was a Jeep, complete with a hood and forest camouflage paint job. I could tell it was from the gods by the way it radiated power. Another one was a BMW with its hood up; it had a sea blue paint job, it also radiated power. The last one also radiated power and was a black Ferrari; it had to be that model that Zoey had been gawking at in her car magazine on the plane because Zoey immediately freaked out.
"No. Way. In. Hades," Zoey said running her hand over the hood of the Ferrari, "This model isn't suppose to be out until next year! I can not believe it! Who ever gave this to us I will probably do whatever they want…depending on whom it is." She added opening the door to the driver's seat.
"She's obsessed with cars because she has no life!" Jack said in his dramatic tone as he slid into the passenger's side of the Jeep. I shook my head, "No… She is only obsessed with cars because she lived through the second Titan war and saw to many deaths…she needs to keep herself sane." I said as I followed the Ferrari to our new home.
At the House
When I got a look at the house when out of the car my jaw dropped ten stories into the ground. The stairs were made of gray stepping stones. The door's knocker was an owl, wings out stretched out ready to take flight. The door itself was pure black wood that seemed to be woven out of shadows. The house seemed to have stepped out of an ancient Greek textbook with modernized touches.
We must of have been gaping at the house like idiots because Zoey threw the luggage at our heads and said, "If you have time to gawk at the house then you can put the luggage in the house."
We grabbed what was ours and walked inside. The living room had a flat screen T.V. with couches that were all different in their own way. An archway leads to a spotless white kitchen that had a cake that said welcome to your new home in blue icing. A stair case was in the corner looking out of place. The back wall was made of glass that opened to a wide expanse of woods and a private beach area.
We all went towards the stairs bumping into each other we all got stuck at the bottom because we couldn't get up all at once. We started to argue and if you have ever seen the most powerful demigods on the planet argue with each other it is terrifying.
"Why you little-" was all I heard before a wave of water splashed Jack in the face. Needless to say everyone drew their weapons and an all out war performed in the house. Zoey was slowly backing up towards the stairs. I followed her lead going slow so they didn't notice we were going up stairs. Once Zoey and I got to the first step we broke into a run going up stairs taking two at a time. They never noticed. We were at the top of the stairs when the fighting and sounds stopped. Silenced filled the air until someone broke it, "Where the Hades did Zoey and Hadrian go?" it sounded like Chad.
We snickered that turned into giggles that turned into maniac laughter. I clutched onto my side laughing loud and clear. While Zoey fell against the wall sliding down. Tears were sliding down our faces. That is how they found us, laughing our guts out.
"Oh… Can it the both of you!" Jack shouted. We both stopped and stared at him, Zoey stood and stared at him. I moved from my slumped against the wall position to stare at him. His angry face changed to a frightened one, "Sorry… I just thought with who is in charge issue at hand I would throw in my name for consideration…Sorry!" he yelped. We turned to Chad daring him to add anything; he just gulped taking a step back. We did the same to Harry, Andy, and Annalee, each getting the same results. We then turned to each other. I stared at her dark blue eyes; they were a never ending darkness with edges of danger and pain. Something else was in there; something was waiting under the surface of her eyes waiting for the kill. I staggered back arms raised.
"You win! I don't understand this but the way you looked at me…it…it seemed like a waiting tamed wolf patient waiting for the attack, but the wolf wasn't tamed and seemed just as dangerous as before it was tamed." I stuttered. She stepped forward and hissed, "I was in the second Titan war… a Hunter of Artemis! I lived longer than Thalia Grace! I was supposed to be the next Lieutenant after Zoë Nightshade! But she came I waited in the shadows waiting for my turn! Listen and learn Hadrian Rheta! I am Zoey Mason! Lieutenant of the Hunters of Artemis! A daughter of Aphrodite that is blessed by Artemis, Ares, and Athena! A girl who escaped death twice and the girl who Bathed in the river of Styx and lived! The only child to be adopted by blood by Artemis! I back down to no one!" with those words she left a terrified me and our scared to my father's reclaims friends leaving us. I heard a door open and slam shut. Annalee looked out of the window. It had stopped raining and Zoey was walking on the side walk face in her hands.
Seth Clearwater POV
After I heard about the new kids in the area I was happy. Could one of the girls be my imprint? Who were they? Why were they coming?
Seth shut up! I do not care about them! Leah shouted in my mind
Oh like you can't stop talking about Donny! Embry added to our conversation as he phased
I would be saying that Embry. You clearly had fun with Daphne last night! Quil mind said as he pulled an image from Embry's thoughts. It was an image of Daphne under the covers a shirtless back was shown.
We wolfed laughed at Embry's embarrassment. Daphne was a homeless blind and memory lost girl. We had found her wandering the woods with a bronze hunting knife scared and alone talking about finding the camp. She had been bleeding on her head. Carlisle had taken her to the hospital telling of what he knew about her. Embry and Jacob had visited her when the doctors announced that she was blind and remembered nothing. Embry imprinted on her and my mom promised to watch after her. Sometimes she would stop completely motionless staring at the sea or the woods. She did it one time in the Cullen house. She just froze up and stared at the woods. Esme had asked what was wrong but Daphne had said that her lady and father were calling for her, searching for her. And to add to the problem Edward couldn't read her mind. Donny is Leah's imprint. He had been kicked out of every school he went to and had tried to last his last year in High School. He had been hiking with Charlie Swan when Leah imprinted on him. Like Daphne he would stop and stare at fire or woods motionless. Esme had asked him the same question, if he was alright. His answer was similar to Daphne's, his aunt and father was calling for him, looking for him. Edward also couldn't read his mind.
Seth I wouldn't laugh! You have no imprint and you are way too soft and I didn't have sex with Daphne, she refuses to do it and I'm not going to force myself on her. Embry yelled at me in my thoughts.
Thanks a lot! I yelled as I phased back to human form. I pulled on the pants and walked to the edge of the woods. I stood on the side walk for a second then started to walk. I kept on thinking who the new students will be. I was so absorbed into my thoughts that I bumped into someone causing the person to fall.
"Watch it, Boy!" the person snarled.
I glanced down and stared at the unfamiliar girl. Long dark black hair hid her face from me from seeing her. She wore knee length combat boots with black leather pants tucked into them. She had a shirt that said Fcuk with me and suffer the consequences her black leather worn out jacket seemed to be holding on to its last strings of life. She had a chain that was looped into her belt loops and fell once on her right and twice on her left. Not only that she had a belt that I couldn't keep looking at, no matter how hard I tried I ended up looking away from it. She looked up at me her eyes full of hate. Her eyes… Her eyes were a dark blue that seemed endless… suddenly everything disappeared on my mind. My name, my sister, whatever else I remembered was forgotten the only thing on my mind was how pretty her eyes were. She glanced down at her feet, it was then I realized that she had stood up already.
"I'm Seth Clearwater." I said holding out my and for her to shake. She looked at it uneasily then accepted it saying, "Zoey Xenophon Mason Phrodite, I'm new here."
She didn't comment on how hot my skin was.
"Hey! Clearwater! Who is that with you?" I groaned mentally, Zoey's eyes flickered to my face as if she knew my thoughts were.
"What do you want Newton?" I asked in an annoyed tone as I turned around to him. Mike Newton, perverted and popular boy of Forks High. Zoey stepped from behind me and saluted him with her middle finger while she said, "Zoey Mason Phrodite, nice meeting you Seth…" her voice trailed off. "Do you happen to know where Quileute Reservoir High is?" she asked her tone a little hostile as Mike gave her a once over. I glanced at her jealousy coursing through my veins as she acted like males giving her a once over was natural.
"Hey, I'm Mike Newton and I know where that school is." Mike said walking to her side taking her hand. I nearly lunged at him until she pulled her hand out of his grip while slapping him in the face at the same time.
"Well Newton," her voice had turned to icy wonderland, "I believe I asked Seth here, not you." I had underestimated her badly, I think it was because she was pretty I didn't completely understand why she was dressed like that.
"Oi! Zoey! What the Hell are you doing?" a voiced yelled from behind us. Mike and I jumped but Zoey just turned and said "Asking where the Hell is my new school is… And why would you care Rheta-Des?"
The boy froze and I got a better look at him. Black skinny jeans, Converse, Leather jacket, and fang earrings were what he was wearing. He seemed scared then his eyes turned into an endless dark hue.
"Well Mason-Phrodite," he snarled taking a step forward, "Annalee refuses to talk to you, Andy and Harry are busy stuffing their faces with cake, and Jack and Chad are scared shitless of you and probably won't come near you for the rest of your life."
Her face brightened, "You mean they will leave me alone and stop asking me to date them?" her voice was hopeful.
He looked at her unsure, "IDK they're scared shitless of you like I said."
"I'm coming home now…" she said walking past the boy. He looked stunned and followed her.
"Bye Seth! Hope I get to see you around soon!" she called over her shoulder. And with that I walked away from a stunned Mike Newton.
I was still grinning when I entered the Cullen's house. Edward gave me a knowing smile.
"Seth! Where have you been? I've been looking for you!" Donny said walking up to me with a grin on his face. His smile widened a bit when he saw my face, "What got you smiling like that?" he asked his tone never changing.
Edward was the one to answer him, "He finally imprinted on someone!"
Suddenly the pack, the Cullen family, and our imprints were patting me on my back congratulating me.
"Who is the girl that has to deal with you softy?" Rosalie sneered.
Again Edward answered for me, "Zoey Xenophon Mason Phrodite! And she doesn't have to deal with him; he has to deal with her. She kicked Mike's ass figuratively and looked as if he was going to kick his ass for real until her friend came and stopped her. And she is going to Quileute Reservoir High which is kind of bad seeing Seth isn't allowed to pass the treaty line. And from what I saw her house is right on the treaty line so you are still allowed to go there. And while you were gone I went to check it out with Bella." He added.
Suddenly Donny looked frightened. "Crap! Oh my gods! She can't be the one here! Crap, crap, crap, crap! If she is here then that means Annalee Loisel- Phrodite, Jack Fisher-Us, Hadrian Rheta-Des, Harry Cruz-Seidon, Andy Gonzales-Us, and Chad Weltramp-Us is here! They don't leave camp unless there is a lot of half bloods and monsters are around!" he yelled while pacing his right hand on his forehead. His eyes widened realizing stuff connecting them together, "Crap! That means… Crap! Daphne! What do hear when you stare at the woods or sea?"
"I hear a calm voice that is saying 'Come my Huntress! The moon and the sea must unite again or all will be lost!' and when I look at the sea I hear 'My Child! My only daughter! Lost! Find her Huntress of the Moon or I will bestow my wrath upon your Huntresses'" she sounded worried.
Donny stopped pacing and looked at her with sad eyes; he walked up to her and said in a mighty all powerful voice in a language I didn't understand and partly in English, "Θυμηθείτε Huntress της Σελήνης και της θάλασσας! Θυμηθείτε κυρία και τον πατέρα σου! Θυμηθείτε Ξενοφών Lieutenant σας! Θυμηθείτε Camp και εγώ! Θυμηθείτε των Εσωτερικών μας!" His voice was growing into a panicked tone and started to pace again in the same position as before. Daphne stared at where he was before; her eyes filled themselves with horror. She let out a scream falling towards the ground. "Blood and Death! The lord of time approaches the brother of mine! The Charities of Good Cheer breaking the oath of the Huntress of the Moon for the underworld prince! Daughter of Love and, Blessed by the Warrior god for complete victories, Wisdom Goddess for wise decisions, and Moon goddess for forever peace as the Huntress' second in command. Adopted by blood the eternal maiden says. The Underworld god giving eternal life with him! Refusal and anger rise! Where will the Archress of the moon and seas go! Archress of the Moon and Sea forever until oath of eternal maidenhood destroyed!" with those last words she fell unconscious.
My only words to that were, "Er…Um…That sounded bad?"
