At my visit to the Underworld, Hades said that he would be my patron god. He said other gods and goddesses would offer to be my patron (Honestly I thought he was the coolest before). I accepted his offer; he blessed me with a stronger affinity with darkness and spirit. The three middle jewels on my tiara were now the largest.
Like last time I came back with bloody eyes. Tora wasn't very happy with me.
I couldn't stand the secret anymore. I told Jake, Embry, and Quil. I knew they would accidently tell the others but I wanted to let the others know I didn't like them very much. They yelled at me, but I didn't care. I was too preoccupied with trying not to test gravity, handing upside down. Yup, that's why I was called monkey several times in that one way conversation.
I trained with Tora that evening even though it was uncomfortable. This time I didn't come around with blood in my eyes! That's always good.
Life kept going I went back to school. I did training with Tora after school. I trained with the werewolves after training with Tora. Plus homework, chores, and television to do.
One day I was at Emily's waiting for them to come back, studying.
"Hey, Ash-"Sam started.
"Hi, Sam."
"Make you a deal. If you can do Jake's, Quil's, and Embry's class work and homework, you can go put and end to a miserable bastard's life. So deal or no deal?" He said with a tint of agitation in his voice.
"And when do you expect me to do all of that in my already too busy schedule?" I said bubbling and answer on my take home 10th grade prep test.
"Got to say deal," He responded.
"Fine deal," I said thoroughly irking him. He didn't expect I'd say yes.
"You get out of school," he said.
"How long?" I asked.
"Hmm, four days," Sam said.
"I can do that," I said. I put the test into my binder. I got up and hugged Embry. We didn't do much in front of them; just hug nothing as graphic as Sam and Emily.
