In the wake of the morning's events, every class that the group attended had one "freak accident" after another. In homeroom the group's desks mysteriously broke after exactly 15 minutes of sitting in them.
In Lydia's AP Biology class all of the frogs that they were about to dissect suddenly sprung back to life and hopped out of the classroom. The redhead rolled her eyes when she heard Kira giggle at the incident.
What Kira and Malia didn't seem to think about was gym. Coincidentally they all had gym together and today was dodgeball day. They were split up into two teams of course Isaac, Stiles, Scott, Allison, Lydia, Alexis, Adrienne and Cora were on one side; with Kira and Malia being on the other with the rest of the class.
Kira and Malia deliberately stood back and watched as their team was bombarded with balls. When they were the only ones left, they started to play dirty. Kira put a little extra life into the ball hitting Stiles and knocking the poor boy off of his feet.
"Oops. Looks like I don't know my own strength." She mock apologized as she watched a few people from the sidelines drag the boy away.
Alexis took that moment to throw a ball as fast as she could at the other girl, right before it hit her, it stopped and reversed back on her. It would've hit her in the face if Scott didn't catch it in mid-air.
Coach blew his whistle. "You're out Yukimura! Nice game though." He ushered her onto the bench. "Looks like you're all alone Malia. Don't let em' see you sweat."
Malia gave the older man a smile. "Don't worry coach; I eat kids like them for breakfast." She replied with a cocky laugh.
"Hey, Malia!" Cora shouted getting the blonde's attention "Has anyone ever told you that you talk too much?"
The goddess looked at the group with a puzzled look, before she could figure out what was going on she was attacked with balls on all sides.
Malia pushed the balls off of her. Her eyes were black.
"Uh uh. I wouldn't do that if I were you." Allison said before her eyes turned purple and sprinklers rained down on the goddess. "Payback's a bitch." She said before giving her friends a congratulatory hug.
"There's a lot of power in that girl. I think I want to torture it out of her." Malia muttered to herself.
Kira went to her side. "Why don't we just take the Banshee instead?"
Malia gave her a kiss, a few droplets of water escaping her cheeks and falling onto the other girl's face. "That's even better." She replied as they walked toward the locker room.
Their day was eventful to say the least. Not a lot of people could say that they were pranked and got payback on Hades.
Allison and Lydia were cuddled up in the redhead's bed thinking about how they got to the present moment.
"Do you think things will be more calm and High School, since Malia can't control us?" Lydia asked Allison. Today was sadly the most "High School" type day since Peter bit her and she was begging for more teenage shenanigans instead of life threatening moments.
The hunter scrunched her face up in thought. On one hand she could tell Lydia a sugar coated explanation to ease the other girls mind, but on the other hand she could tell her girlfriend the truth and be there for her when things got rough.
Allison decided to go with the latter.
"We've been chosen to protect this world, Lyds. I know it feels like the whole world is on our shoulders and it kind of is. However, the cards that we've been dealt always give us a strange sense of normalcy. I guess what I am trying to say is that something worse might be coming, but we will get through it. I will be with you every step of the way and we will find our own time to act our age. You just have to promise me that we will find a way, always." The hunter explained looking deep into green eyes.
Lydia shivered. She needed the truth and Allison gave it to her like always. She looked over the other girls features and found the most beautiful light that was the dark tunnel of their young adulthood.
"I promise." She replied before bringing her lips to Allison's.
They held each other tight that night, as if they were protecting one another from the darkness just outside of Lydia's window.
Jennifer sat outside of Lydia's door. She had the strangest feeling that something awful was going to happen to one of the girls, but she didn't know who. She figured that if she were right where they were the most vulnerable the least she could do would be the honorable thing, which would mean giving her life for either Lydia or Allison.
"You've really got to stop being so hard on yourself." Adrienne's voice sounded as she walked toward her from the front of the hallway. The goddess felt the pain of guilt that Jennifer bore. The woman's feelings made it hard for her to sleep.
Jennifer shrugged her shoulders sadly and flipped through one of the books written in Greek that she gave Lydia. "I went about trying to save the girls the wrong way. I killed my true love for the sake of gaining enough power to stop Hades with false pretenses. Kali didn't have to die, but I killed her because I could and I sacrificed those people only to lose my power which is rendering me useless." The emissary vented with tears starting to ruin her eyeliner.
Adrienne wiped the tears away. "Oh, Jennifer. You have no idea how good you are. Sure, you sacrificed people, but that was to protect those that could save the world and this plane. I know you feel awful about Kali, but you just got a little carried away. From what I've seen people are allowed to make mistakes. What matters is what you're doing now to make up for it. To me you are doing a hell of a lot." The goddess reassured the teacher giving her a hug.
Jennifer felt better. If the goddess of love could see the goodness in her heart, maybe there was more in there than she thought. She gave the woman's hand a squeeze before returning to hers and Alexis's room.
"You're too good for me." The goddess said after Adrienne closed.
Adrienne released a light laugh. "You are the strength to my weakness, love. We were literally made for each other, which is why we are too good for anyone else, but each other." She replied before stripping into a big shirt and her underwear. She crawled onto the bed joining her mate. She planted a soft kiss on her knight's lips and smiled.
"How about we stay up late tonight?" Adrienne asked.
"I like the sound of that." Alexis replied capturing the blonde's lips with her own.
Cora sat up in bed.
After everything that has happened in the past few days, she was afraid to sleep. She'd either be plagued with nightmares or she'd dream of Erica and sometimes Boyd. She missed her friends. When they were held up in the bank, all they had was each other. Granted Boyd was a little jealous that Erica was more taken to Cora than him, but he soon got over it.
She looked out the window looking at the stars. She felt her heart stop when she saw a figure's shadow walk past her window.
"That was just a shadow from a tree. Your mind is playing tricks on you." She said before facing away from her window.
Man, she really hated night time now.
The boys were downstairs getting ready for bed, when they smelt something burning.
Scott ran out the front door to find part of the lawn burning.
Derek ran after him with an extinguisher. He pulled the pin out and pointed the hose at the base of the fire. He noticed a familiar symbol. He felt his face change in an instant.
"Isaac! Stiles! Get to the girls now!" He growled before climbing the trellis toward Lydia's window. He didn't have to tell the young Alpha because Scott was already behind him.
Alexis and Adrienne quickly got up and dressed when they smelt something burning. They ran to the end of the hallway to find Jennifer's back turned toward them with Lydia's door wide open.
The teacher turned toward the footsteps a grim look on her face.
"I'm sorry." She said a few droplets of blood pouring out of her mouth. I tried to do something, but she was too strong. Jennifer fell to the floor unconscious.
Adrienne went to her side immediately. When she touched the emissary her eyes turned ocean blue. "NOOOOOOOOO!" She screamed hysterically.
Alexis went to her. "My love. What's happened?" She asked.
Adrienne didn't get a chance to answer because Allison came out of the room with a blank face and weapons all over her body.
"They took Lydia, Alexis. Now they are going to die." She answered before walking down the hallway.
Alexis knew something had changed in her charge. Her eyes weren't just purple, but so was the force field around her.
"I'll just-" Alexis started.
"It's okay. I'll be right here when you get back." Adrienne reassured her before giving her a quick kiss on the lips. "Now go get her before she gets hurt."
"Your wish is my command." Alexis replied before disappearing into thin air.
