Hey guys!
Ok so don't kill me, I would've written but school just took a toll on me you know.
But lucky for me and any other student, it's FINALLY SUMMER!
So now I can write as much as I want.
So let me stop talking and get on with it because I know you all are very ecstatic that I'm finally updating.
Wow the last time I updated was April 1st, (Awkward)
Just FYI I started writing this July 14th so no I'm not rushing this down.
So let's get on with the show.
I talk too much
-.-.-.-..-.-
Sunlight streamed through the curtains, waking a grumpy Ally up.
She opened her eyes only to close them again in discomfort as she raised a hand to massage her aching neck.
She was used to sleeping in an extremely comfy bed, not a couch that was probably older than her great grandfather.
She sighed and stretched her hand out to grab her phone that rested on the coffee table right in front of her.
She had numerous text messages from her friends, apparently there was a party last night that she didn't go to and everyone wanted to know why she didn't attend.
She also got a lot of texts asking where she was.
She was about to reply to her friends, when it hit her.
She couldn't tell them she was at Austin's place.
All kind of rumors and suspicions would start.
In fact, she didn't even want to be here, she wanted to be at home, with her guardian angel protecting her from the enemy not with the enemy.
A pang of fear hit her, and suddenly she was rushing to put on her shoes and grabbing her phone.
She didn't care if Ronnie told her to trust him, she couldn't find it in herself to do it. This boy was going to kill her eventually, even if he was waiting for her birthday.
She didn't know how or where she was going but she knew she had to get out, hopefully she wouldn't run into Dallas.
Maybe she would call one of her friends to pick her up.
She gently turned the doorknob to leave the apartment, tiptoeing across the wooden floor.
"And where do you think you're going?!" A voice boomed.
She froze in her spot.
She slowly turned around, plastering on a calm expression on her face when really she was fucking terrified on the inside.
"Austin, I was …. Just going to…. Get… the mail. Yes, the mail." Ally lied through gritted teeth.
"No you're not, you're lying." He said.
"Whaaaaat? Pssh No I wasn't." She said tapping his shoulder.
He narrowed his eyes and took a step closer to her and she took a step back.
"No, you're lying to me. You were trying to leave! After Veronica told you, to stay here, you're disobeying her and me! Do you know what could've happened if you left? Dallas is in Miami, basically stalking you and me. And you being the dumb fucking idiot you are decide to leave a place where Dallas would never find you!"
"What do you expect me to do, Austin. I'm scared! I never asked for any of this. You need to understand that before you, or Ronnie or Dallas or Drexel and whoever the frick else shows up, I had a normal life, I never had experience in these kinds of situations. I'm scared, because I am currently in the 'care' of someone, who is going to kill me eventually!" She retorted.
"And you think I asked for this, HUH? You think I asked to be adopted by the ruler of the underworld, you think I asked for me to kill people, I had a normal life too you know, it's mine ended when I was younger than you, so you should be lucky, that you spent your whole life normally."
Her face softened as did his and she looked towards the ground, at her feet.
"Look, Ally I know that you're scared of me. But Veronica entrusted me to look after you, because she knows that I would. And do really think your guardian protector would leave you in the care of danger? I don't know what's going to happen on your birthday, but trust me when I say that I will not let you die before that." He said taking her hand.
She looked at her hand intertwined back up at him, taking in the sincere expression on his face.
Maybe she should give him a chance.
She sighed, "Fine, as long you teach me how to defend myself."
He nodded and let go of her hand, instead resting his hand on the small of her back to lead her back inside.
"So, what's for breakfast?" She questioned.
-.-…-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.
"Where the fuck are they, Dallasous?!" The angry voice of his father beamed through the phone.
"Look, I don't know father. But when I do find them, I'm going to bring them straight to you, I promise." Dallas said, his voice faltering a bit in fear.
"Remember there is a deadline, and the girl's birthday is in a month and a half's time. If this deadline passes, I will not hesitate to rush down there and kill you and all those stubborn teenagers myself, Am I clear?" Drexel seethed, his voice in a threatening whisper.
"Hey, father remember, I got this, and I promised I will bring them to you, do not worry." Dallas said, trying not you yell at his raging father that he was doing the best he could to find them.
It shouldn't be normal to fear your own father.
His father muttered a response and he heard the line go silent signaling the call ended. He pressed the red button to hang up the call.
He sighed and ran a hand through his dark brown hair, wishing that he could be at home, trying to bond with his father instead of looking for his stubborn stepbrother.
He knew Austin was hiding this so called 'Allison' somewhere, but if he told his father that, Austin will get punished for hiding her of course but Dallas would also get punished for letting that happen on his watch.
Plus, he didn't want to make a false accusation that could land him into even more trouble.
"Sounds rough." Dallas heard from behind him. He turned around to be greeted with the country teenager that he teamed up with.
"Were you listening to my conversation with my father?" Dallas narrowed his eyes at the boy.
"Look I came in here to get the duct tape for Elliot's mouth, and I heard it okay. I'm not the one, you should be angry with here okay. You should be angry with your brother, who's hogging my girl." Gavin said reaching for the duct tape on the tallest shelf.
Suddenly a hammer slammed down on top of his hand, pounding his palm into the rough wood of the shelf.
Gavin cried out in pain.
"You are SO lucky that you're helping me, because I would've NOT hesitated to kill you right now. So let's say you show me some respect and I don't kill you. Do I make myself clear?" Dallas threatened through gritted teeth.
"Yes, yes. Just please let my hand go." Gavin whined. Dallas let go grabbing the duct tape and rushing out to take care of the boy outside.
Gavin looked down at his palm to reveal, splinters and a bruise swelling on the outside of his palm. "What does he have, an iron fist?" He thought.
He shook his head and hissed in pain, moving along to go get something to address his wound.
-..-.-.-.-.
"So is your name, really Austin or is it Austeus?" Ally said before shoving a spoonful of Lucky Charms in her mouth.
She can't remember the last time she had cereal before.
"You're walking on thin ice, Red Lace." Austin warned.
"No, I'm serious. I just want to know, is Austin like a nickname or something?"
He sighed and rested his cup of coffee on the table so he can rest his elbows on his knees.
"They're both my names. My name when I was born was Austin, but when Drexel adopted me, he wanted a more powerful and demon-like name because he thinks that if I want to rule the underworld I need a powerful one, so he changed it to Austeus. And well Dallasous is Dallas' real name, but in the human world, Dallas is his name."
"Wait, isn't Dallas heir to the throne if he's the first born, Why would Drexel want you to be ruler?" Ally said sitting up as well, resting her bowl on the coffee table.
"Well in the underworld, they don't believe in the heir to the throne stuff, whoever the ruler is gets to decide who he wants the next ruler to be. I guess Drexel always wanted me to be leader, because he liked me more over his own son. And that's why Dallas and I don't like each other. He calls me a 'father stealer' and he's jealous that Drexel wants me to be the leader, although I told him numerous times that he can have it and I don't want it."
"Wow, talk about daddy issues." Ally commented.
"Right, well that's enough talking for today. Get some rest, we are starting training today, and with the time you woke up this morning, I don't want you falling asleep on me." Austin commented taking up her bowl and walking to go rest it in the sink.
"But I'm not even tired." Ally whined. Austin groaned at her childish behavior and threw a worn out blanket over her.
"Yes, but I know you will be, so go to sleep. I have some people to call."
-.-.-.-..-
"Athena, quit hovering over her, you'll wake her up," Ally heard a female's voice, muttering.
"Does she know, that she drools when she's sleeping." The other blonde female said turning to face the others while unconsciously whipping Ally in the face with her long blonde locks.
With her eyes still hooded, she wiped her mouth, upon hearing the girl's comment.
Ally groaned and began rubbing her eyes. She opened then warily feeling like she was being watched.
She was proven correct as 3 pairs of eyes looked at her.
"Rise and shine sleeping beauty!" Athena greeted.
"We were hoping you slept longer, since you are going to need as much energy as possible." Christina said, getting up from the chair and glaring at her Australian cousin.
"Well she's awake now so let's get started." Athena announced, getting up from the floor, in front of the sofa, Ally was sleeping on.
"Started?" Ally asked, eyeing the only blonde who hasn't spoken since she woke up.
"I called Athena and Christina in to help with your training, because I can't handle training you by myself." He replied.
"I will help you train, and basically strengthen you and your noodle arms," Athena said squeezing Ally's forearm. "Christina will help and teach you how to use your brain and think logically and strategically in any battle. And Austeus" Athena looked back at Austin's furious face at the mention of his name, and she grinned at him, "Will actually teach you how to fight. With weapons and hand to hand combat."
Ally looked over to the other two people in the room, Christina was giving her an encouraging nod while Austin just stared at the floor.
Ally sighed, sure Austin and she had talked that morning but he still avoided her gaze any other time. It was just awkward after the kiss they shared yesterday.
"Okay, so get up. We've got stuff to do." Ally stood up not before groaning tiredly.
Athena waited for her to stand up "Ok first things first (I'm the realest. ok I'll let you finish read) DROP AND GIVE ME TWENTY!" Athena exclaimed basically shoving the startled brunette down on the floor.
Ally tried but her pushups were literally two inches off the ground, and she gave up after ten 'pushups'.
"Athena please, you need to start off easy with her." Christina interjected looking at a panting Ally on the floor.
Athena groaned but complied "Fine noodle arms let's do some jumping jacks instead." Ally nodded and stood up starting the exercise as Athena counted her reps.
Christina pulled her other cousin aside out of the other girls' ear shots.
"Do you really think she'll be ready in time. It's just a month and a half away?" Christina asked.
"Chris, this one's a trooper and if not, her fire will help her win a battle." Austin said watching Ally effortlessly complete the next exercise Athena asked her to do.
"Ok but just remember, we're supposed to be her enemies. We may have to fight her and you know how Drexel is a-."
"Let's not worry about that now, Let's worry about training her so she'll be ready when the time comes." Austin interrupted and rested a hand on his cousin's shoulder.
Confusion washed over Christina's face as her once angry cousin was now being … compassionate. Then realization hit her.
"You have a soft spot for Ally don't you?" Christina grinned.
"What? No, I just want the battle to be fair and it wouldn't be a battle if she can't fight and everyone else can and her guardian can't help her with that because she's looking out for Dallas at her house and I'm just being a good sport." Austin ranted.
Christina grinned knowingly at her cousin's babbling but slowly started to frown.
"Austin, you know the dangers of having a crush on her, w-."
"Will you shut the fuck up, Christina! I DON'T LIKE HER LIKE THAT! I BARELY EVEN LIKE HER!" Austin said getting furious.
All the inaudible shouting from the other room caused the two girls in the living room to worry.
"Is everything alright?" Ally asked entering the bedroom.
She saw an angry Austin and a flustered Christina.
"Yes everything is fine. You can continue training." Christina said leaving with Ally, a confused and frustrated Austin left in the room.
-.-.-.-.-.
Ally's phone vibrated off of the table, and she looked at the caller ID, Cass 3, "I'll be right back." Ally announced, Athena rolled her eyes but let her answer her phone.
She was actually happy one of her friends called her, she hasn't spoken to any of them in days.
"Cass?" Ally answered outside the apartment in the hallway.
"OMG ALLY! The girls and I haven't heard from you in days and you didn't come to school today! And when I went to your house, some blonde girl answered the door saying you went out, but I know a liar when I see one. What's wrong? Are you sick? Is something up? GASP Is it that time of the month? Do we need to have an impromptu sleepover, I'm coming over right n-."
"NO! That's alright Cass, I'm fine. I'm actually at a… cousin's house. Yeah he just flew in from… California and I didn't come to school today because… I was… catching up with him, yeah." Ally patted herself on the back for coming up with her lie so quickly.
"Ok, what's his name?" Cassidy asked, generally interested.
"Um…A- Au… August, August Sun." Ally lied.
"Ok well maybe you could bring August to Trish's surprise party on Friday."
Ally mentally cursed, how could she forget the surprise party for Trish that the girls have been planning for months.
Then again, that was before all of this drama happened.
"You didn't forget did you?" Cassidy asked.
"What? No, of course not, how could I forget my best friend's birthday. Pssht." Ally said.
"Second best friend." Cassidy corrected her. "And remember to get there early to set up." She continued.
"Right, I'll be there." Ally said.
"Oh! And don't forget to bring this August guy." Ally could practically hear the suggestive tone in her voice.
"Yes, I'll bring him too." Ally rolled her eyes but smiled.
They bid each other goodbye and sighed.
She couldn't miss one of her best friend's parties but how was she going to convince Austin to let her go?
Oh how she wished all this drama wasn't taking place, then she could just go to her friend's party without any confusion.
A voice snapped her out of her thoughts. "Ally!"
"Huh? What? Yeah?" She asked startled.
Austin rolled his eyes but answered.
"Athena told me to call you because she wants to finish your training." He said stepping out into the hallway with her.
"Right." Ally said walking around him to get inside, when a thought that has been bugging her for hours came into mind.
It was now or never.
"Austin, are we ever going to talk about what happened yesterday?" Ally said turning around to look at his face.
Once again, upon bringing it up he looked at his feet, but looked back up at her face a blank expression on it.
"What's to talk about? I told you, it was just a spur in the moment kind of thing, it meant nothing to me!" He said a frustrated attitude taking over.
Ally looked down at her shoes, she didn't know why but she felt sad upon hearing his words.
"What? Did you think I actually like you? Ha! As if!" He stated.
"I was just asking I mean y-." She said feeling tears well up in her eyes, but she refused to let him see her cry.
"No, here's how it's going to go down. You and I never have this conversation again and we forget whatever happened yesterday and you are going to go back in there and train your little ass off. Okay?" He said, walking past her back into the apartment.
She wiped any tears that threatened to fall but didn't and walked inside not long after him, ready to train her frustration away.
She knew she was meant to forget it, but that night all she can think about is the kiss she shared with the blonde male the previous night and all she can dream about is Austin being her knight in shining armor/guardian angel and saving her from her terrible future, taking her to paradise instead.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.
"Dallas I just got some news!" Gavin ran in the room where Dallas was watching Elliot squirm uncomfortably on the floor.
"I hope it's important, or the other hand will get it." Dallas muttered eyeing the southern boy's wrapped up hand.
"It is! Apparently, one of Ally's friends is having a party on Friday and there is a chance that Ally would be there." Gavin stated.
"That's amazing news." Dallas said patting Gavin on the shoulder.
"The only problem is that the party is invitation by text only. I wasn't invited, so I don't know what the information is."
Just then a vibration sounded, the two boys stared at Elliot's phone that was confiscated from him just so he wouldn't call for help.
Dallas grinned and picked up the device from on top of the shelf.
"You may not have been invited, but somebody else was." Dallas smirked and the two boys looked at the sleeping figure on the floor.
"Let's go shopping, cowboy. We have to get clothes for a party on Friday." Dallas stated evilly.
-..-.-..-..—
