I arrived at Billy's house like I said I would. I was trying to decide if I should tell them or not what I am. It wouldn't make sense not to, they've seen me shadow travel and they've probably known since that one day at school that I wasn't exactly human.
I shadow travelled into the darkest room in the house and found myself in someone's bedroom. I flicked the light on and noticed how the messy bedroom appeared to be decorated by a teenage boy.
"I shadow travelled into Jacob's room." I smirked. "He won't mind if I snoop."
I looked around the room and noticed a few posters of motor bikes and pictures of him and the others on the wall. Looking closer at the pictures, I noticed one that looked crinkled around the edges, making it seem like he held that one a lot.
It was a picture of Jacob with his arm around a girl. The girl was very pretty. Her pale skin went nicely with her dark brown hair and eyes. Jacob was smiling brightly and seemed very happy in the picture.
I looked away from the picture before deciding I should leave. I was invading his space and if someone was doing that to me, I'd probably feed them to Louis.
I walked out into the hallway and I could hear people talking. I could hear Jacob speaking, about what I'm not sure.
If they were what I thought they were, then they would have enhanced senses, so it would be stupid to try and listen in on them. I'm not as dumb as I look.
I walked down the hall until I entered the room where everyone was. Leaning against the wall, I watched in amusement as everyone stopped talking.
Sam was standing next to Jacob, who seemed very annoyed by my arrival. My cousin was sitting on the couch, his hand against his chin holding his head up. He looked worried and confused, just like everyone else. Seth and a girl that I didn't recognize sat on the couch next to him, Seth patting Quil's back as if he was trying to comfort him. Jared stood next to Paul by the old TV in the corner of the room. Paul looked terrible. He had bags under his eyes and seemed a tad pale.
I wondered if it had to do something with him being a... well you know what it is.
Jacob was the first one to say something. He snarled at me, "Where the hell did you come from?!"
I honestly don't blame Jacob for not liking me. But I'd like to think I had grown on him at least a bit.
"Jacob." Billy warned softly, grabbing his son by the arm.
"No where." I replied.
"Really? Then how the hell did you get into my house? You didn't come from the back or the front." Jacob reasoned, glaring at me.
"Magic." I said, making my fingers wiggle in the air as I said it.
He growled at me, the noise sounding similar to the ones I heard back in the woods.
"What are you?" Sam suddenly asked, bringing my attention him.
I shrugged. "I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you."
"Raven." Quil suddenly intervened, sounding the most serious I've ever heard. "Come on."
I huffed. "Fine. But first I need to know what you all saw."
"What type of question is that?" Jared questioned, joining the conversation.
"I just need to know, alright?" I snapped. "I need to know what you all saw."
"You don't want us to try and explain-" Seth began, but I cut him off.
"No I already figured that part out. Vampires and werewolves exist." I stated, waving my hand in the air like it was nothing. And coming from my experience, it really isn't.
"Shapeshifters." The girl pointed out.
"Sure." I looked at all of them, my eyes staying on Paul longer than everyone else before I began to talk again. "So? You guys going to start talking? Or did I come all this way for nothing?"
I had hoped they would start talking right away, but they didn't. I was beginning to feel the side effects of using my abilities too much take affect. Shadow traveling to two different places normally doesn't have this kind of effect on me, but I was still recovering from the last attack.
I rubbed my head, feeling drowsy. "Anyone? Anyone at all?"
"We arrived there when you were talking about you shampoo and conditioner." Paul began, his voice bringing mere chills into my skin. "Leah had been patrolling when she caught the vamp's scent and informed all of us there was leech on the land."
I waited for him to continue.
"We arrived and heard everything that was said between the two of you. We saw what seemed to be a sword in your hand, we watched as he hurt you." Paul's voice was shaking like he was trying to hold back his anger. "We saw you disappear into thin air only to already be walking your way back home."
I normally don't do things like that, I thought to myself. A voice in the back of my head then told me, It's probably because you wanted to show off.
Pfft. Lies.
"And somehow, which I think this confuses all of us," Paul motioned to everyone in the room, "You didn't look a bit afraid of the monster that was threatening to kill you. You didn't even smell like you were worried."
They can smell my emotions? That's disturbing. I suddenly feel very violated. "Probably because I smell strongly of peach and mangos."
Jacob scoffed. "Stop it with the sarcastic remarks! We answered you're question so now you gotta answer ours."
I glared at him. "Okay, Mr. High and Mighty, I'll tel you. But no one else can know."
I told mom she shouldn't have sent me back to public school. There are so many people who could learn of my secret. Yet here I am, getting ready to tell people who are practically strangers. Ooh, what fun!
Why is my life so stressful, I'm already starting to feel queasy.
Or maybe I'm getting ready to pass out... hmmmm...
"Of course." Sam nodded, looking at everyone. "But only if you keep ours."
"I have been keeping secrets since I was twelve, I'm sure I can manage." I agreed. "But I need to sit down, I'm not feeling too hot right now."
Paul rushed over to me and wrapped his arms around my waist and picking me up bridal style. The unexpected contact made me almost jump.
I flushed. "You didn't half to pick me up but whatever."
He sat me down on one of the chairs but didn't let go of my shoulder, like he needed to touch me. I didn't stop him, his warm hand brought the unforgettable tingles wherever they touched.
I looked at everyone in the room and saw that they were all waiting for me to explain.
"Well, the short story is is that the gods exist." I deadpanned.
Jared looked at me like I was a fish that had grown legs. "What?"
"The Greek gods, like Zeus and Poseidon, they all exist." I explained, speaking of the gods, they were probably planning my murder.
Billy nodded, a thoughtful look in his features. "That would make sense. I wouldn't be surprised with what these boys can do."
I nodded. "The gods will sometimes come down from Olympus and fall for mortals, which later ends up with the two having a child. The child is cold a demi-god, half human and half god. That's what I am."
The girl, who I believe Paul said was Leah, began to speak, "Okay, but then who are you the daughter of?"
I smiled. "Good question. My mother is mortal, therefore my father is a god. Any guesses?"
"You're very intimidating and wear black a lot." Seth looked at me. "You're a daughter of Hades."
I smiled.
"Let me introduce myself properly. My name is Raven Morgan, the daughter of Hades, god of the underworld."
My statement brought silence upon the group of people in the room. It was like one of those cool movie scenes where the protagonist shows of his/her unbelievable gifts and surprises everyone of what he/she can do.
"Prove it." Jacob said, ruining my moment.
I groaned. "Was the show out in the woods not enough for you?"
Jacob took a step closer and that's when Paul let go of my shoulder and moved in front of me. His huge body blocking me from everyone's view as he took a protective stance in front of me.
"Back off, Jacob." Paul said stiffly.
"I wasn't going to touch her." Jacob defended himself. "We all know that would be a bad idea."
Bad idea? What does that mean? I might know what they are but that doesn't mean I know what they can do.
Paul waited for Jacob to walk back to his place by Billy until he moved himself.
Billy gave me a sad smile, silently apologizing for his son. I shrugged and gave his a small one in return.
"Maybe that's a good idea." Sam said, looking uncertain. "It will help us understand more of what you can do if you show us something."
I sighed. "There is one thing I might be able to do. I'm weak right now but I should be able to do it."
Seth looked ecstatic. "Really?"
I smiled at his excitement. "Yes."
I looked around the room to see if there were any dark places where shadows covered. There was a rather dimly lit corner of the room.
I stood up and walked over there. I stopped and put my hand in the shadow and looked back at everyone.
"Stand back, don't freak out." I said calmly. "If you scare him, or try to attack him, he will kill you."
Paul and I met each other's gaze and he gave me a smile before nodding.
"One more thing: if I pass out after doing this, don't worry." I gave them a tight grin.
"Wait-what?" Paul asked, his voice filled with panic.
Too bad I was already summoning him.
"Join me." I mumbled, closing my eyes and using all the energy to call him.
Everyone jumped back when a huge hound came jumping out of the shadow. The terrifying hellhound growled at the boys, probably smelling the dog scent in them. Louis hates dogs, which is kind of funny.
"Louis!" I snapped my fingers, bring the hellhounds attention into me. "They are friends!"
Louis sat down on his butt, towering over everyone and his head hit the ceiling.
"What the hell is that thing?!" Quil asked in terror, gripping Jared's arm.
"A hellhound, his name is Louis." I answered as the world began to become blurry. "I need to go... Louis?"
Louis bounded over to me rubbing his head on my outstretched hand as we both back into the shadows.
"I'll talk more on Monday." When I'm not getting ready to pass out.
I then shadow travelled out of there, not hearing Embry shout in awe, "That was so CrEePY! But still really AweSoME!"
