Chapter Nine

They described the gods as normal people would look but stunning. They would have glowing radiant skin, defining eyes; they could walk gracefully and be social creatures. I wanted to run and tell Edward I knew but I was afraid he would be mad and what to know how I found out. I couldn't give Jake up; I wouldn't no matter how out of line he was. I was afraid a little, what if by knowing it made me less appealing? What if I was disposable?

As I watched them over the next couple days I couldn't help but notice their qualities. Rosalie is seductive, just by smiling guys look dazed and they agree, most of them act like her own personal assistants. If Edward is sitting with an I pod head phone in his ear full blast you can hear the songs change at random till he finds one he likes. With Jasper it was more subtle. When he argued with people things always ended his way, you don't notice it until you start keeping track. Alice would be gone every couple weeks, Edward said it was migraines and she wouldn't be back for a few more days. She always seemed to know what decisions to make and what things to avoid. I'm not sure weather spreading good moods are qualified as a power but it seemed to be Emmett's specialty. Esme was great at match making she was always talking about her friends who had been married ten years all thanks to her. Carlisle seemed to know every bit of news available to man; it was like the walking New York Times plus a horoscope section. Edward was always giving me advice his dad had wanted him to pass on.

After a few days of watching them my brain hurt, I felt sections of it slowly going numb. I was trying to think of an explanation; maybe I was trying to see the abnormal things about them. I believed with every inch of my body that they where not Titans, I also didn't believe that they were normal people. I felt backed in to a corner. I denied the offer that day to go to lunch with them. I wasn't paying attention when Alice skipped up behind me; I exited the page of known gods. I turned to her scowling. I slipped my foot to the main power switch and hit it. My light and computer went off clearing my history.

"Oh!" she looked surprised. "What happened?"

"Oh Crap." I looked under my desk acting like I didn't know what was happening. "I must have hit the main power switch."

"I'm sorry where you working on something?" I heard the remorse in her voice and felt a little bad for lying to her.

"No I didn't have very much done. It will be ok Alice." That's when Edward came up behind me and nuzzled his chest to my head.

"We are still at work." Alice looked at him reminding him that if she couldn't nuzzle Jasper, who didn't even work here, then he couldn't nuzzle me. When he pulled away I could feel a fiery burning between us.

After almost being caught I decided I would leave work a little early. I didn't want to be alone so I went over to Becca's house and cleaned up. I was about to leave when she pulled up. She asked me what i was doing there right before i went up to her and hugged her. She suggested we get our nails done. while We where driving we where both silent .

While we where inside she filled me in on all the gossip. I got to hear all about Rachel's new boyfriend, and some girl Jake got a date with. At the mention of Jake i remember to ask her about the Cullens.

"Jake told me a story the other day." i looked at her, the look on her face was like she was looking for something she just had. Her brown eyes brows raised and i knew she knew what i was talking about.

"He told you about the gods. Oh i knew this would happen." she rolled her eyes looking annoyed.

"Why is it so important to him? Why does he think its Edward's Family?"

"People have been saying it forever. He had always lived alone when he was little with a maid and a butler, his parents had died in a fire when they lived in America. Its crazy to me. But the men in our family have "Senses", because we are supposedly descended from roman leaders. Its all crazy."

I shook my head. "I don't believe they are norma. But they cant be titans, lots of stories say the people who do it are titans. If it is them who do it then they would have by now they had enough chances at least every day i have known them."

"Your really believe this don't you?"

"Yes Becca I do."

"Okay so if they are do you really think they are titans i mean I knew Alice, Jasper, and Edward from high school. I never hung out with them but i Saw them around. They didn't seem like they where looking for people to steal. But i have to admit they don't look like they have grown very much i don't think i have seen any of them with a zit. That is not normal."

"What if i do if they are gods? Becca what if my boyfriend is immortal and all powerful?"

"He wouldn't be all powerful, he would be like one of two-hundred gods. And they seem to like you so i think you will be safe."

"Great." I sat thinking of how complicated this was I had just fallen in to a mythology book. I failed my ninth grade English.
