(A/N) Ok, I haven't updated in a while! But I'm back now! This chapter might suck, but I have a lot of plans for the future, including two projects that the unfortunate gods have to go through! Maybe even some weird dreams! Anyway, here is le third chapter!
First block went on for the young immortals as if they had been there the whole time. Aphrodite and Hecate in World History took an interest in the book that their teacher was reading from, the Ultimate Book of Horrific Torture Through the Ages. Hecate taking down notes to keep for further reference. Artemis had a horrifying experience in carpentry. Watching all of those trees get shredded to pieces to make lame decorations was terrifying! She had to conjure up a pillow out of thin air and hug it tightly to her body as the little wood shavings piled on to the floor from the horrible sounding machines! She began to cry, she could hear it screaming, she wished Apollo were there.
Apollo was having a marvelous time however. He was in art at the moment and was sketching fiercely with his pencil, everyone marveling at his skill and accuracy of drawing his twin sister sitting in a lovely garden of ferns and wildflowers with a stag right behind her, leaning his long neck over the goddess's shoulder in protection. Ares was trying his hand at basketball and wasn't doing too badly at it. He could see Eos in the right hand corner, behind the bleachers, arguing with the gym teacher about how fake nails did not deserve to be broken so quickly and that she'd sue her if she broke one.
LUNCH…
"What do yall think of your classes so far?" Hecate asked Apollo, Artemis, and Aphrodite at lunch time.
"They're all right, I guess." Apollo replied poking at the thing on his tray, looking for signs of life.
"Horrible! Those poor trees!" Artemis shivered at the recollection.
"Don't ask! This girl in my Algebra 2 class was talking about sleeping with her cousin! And there's this annoying boy who won't leave me alone! HE WON'T SHUT UP!" Aphrodite exclaimed through clenched teeth.
"I know! I'll go up to the school board and tell them to use fake trees! That'll help so many organisms in need!" Artemis shouted holding her spork up above her head as if it was a brazier.
"Have yall read th…" "AAAAAA!" The three goddesses (and half of the cafeteria) looked to Apollo to see what fate had bestowed upon him. "I swear! Th-that thing just moved!" he exclaimed hugging his knees to his chest. Everyone sighed and began to complain about the unwelcome disturbance as they went back to their "meals."
"Apollo, the stuff isn't alive." Drawled Hecate, annoyed with the god of brilliance.
"I know what I saw! It moved, just like that time Hecate tried to cook bacon…" Hecate flared at Apollo, angrily. "I need more minions then those annoying little cackling frights they call harpies!"
"So you were going to make minions out of bacon?" Aphrodite asked looking at her friend as if she had just grown a fourth head.
"ANYWAY!" Hecate boomed silencing the deities. "Have yall read the myths mortals made up about us?"
"Not yet. I haven't had much time to." Artemis replied solemnly.
"Me neither." Aphrodite shrugged.
"I actually was so tired that I completely forgot about them." Apollo shrugged his shoulders then assumed his position of poking the grey blob before him as the bell shrilly rang in their ears. "Alright then, see you all after school!" With that they all sprang up to go their separate ways.
AFTER SCHOOL…
"Home Economics is pure evil!" Aphrodite shivered on her way home. Zeus didn't want to risk them being exposed more then they had to so he forced them to walk home but it was only three blocks away from Lêon High School.
"It's only evil because you're in it!" Ares retorted glaring back at the young goddess.
"I find it very fun actually." Hecate stroked her chin, picturing the fire Ares had almost started when he was trying to impress a group of girls that were watching him with flirtatious eyes.
Aphrodite began to laugh remembering what had happened. Ares could create fire in his right hand and would often try to impress mortal girls with this advantage. Of course, what he told the girls in this time, they did not know.
"Cut it out!" Ares growled in frustration ready to kill somebody. But he'd have to live without carnage for as long as they were here, damn it.
The two goddesses fell behind by a few steps biting their lips to keep from laughing but in the end the pressure was just too much and they let their laughter ring across the city as they fell onto the pavement howling with laughter, clutching their aching sides. Ares stopped and grimace, causing everyone else to come to a halt.
"Will you two be quiet?!" He yelled angrily. He smiled though as a plan formulated in his mind. He quietly walked up to them all the time smirking. "Alright, I guess you won't be needing THESE anymore." With that Ares pulled the pants that Aphrodite was wearing off of her body and began to run away with them, leaving Love in great shock and humiliation.
"That little! GET YOUR DOOMED ASS BACK HERE!" Aphrodite screamed tearing off after the war-dog, all the time trying to cover her revealed legs and underwear.
"Holy mother of Gaia!" Artemis gasped in shock.
"He is so dead!" Hecate smiled evilly from her now sitting position on the pavement.
"Sexy legs." Apollo speculated rubbing his chin, receiving evil glares and slaps from the two goddesses with him.
"Hey, where's Eos?" Hecate asked in curiosity looking round for the ditzy dawn goddess.
"Ares said something about cheerleading practice." Artemis replied picking up Aphrodite's disposed books and back pack.
MEANWHILE…
"You little bastard! Give me my pants back!" Aphrodite tore down the street not caring who saw her, her goal was set on beating the crap out of the little son of a mortal when she caught up to him!
She was startled though when a car screeched to a halt right in front of her as she ran across a road.
"What the hell do you think you're…. WHOA! How much do you want for a night?!" A man slyly asked poking his head out from the window of the vehicle.
Aphrodite turned red in indignation and humiliation before running back onto the course of her goal. Damn! She wanted to smite the little whelp who had just said that to her just now but then again, aim for the cause not the effect.
People looked at her, women with discuss, children with shock, men were looking with interest in their eyes. But she saw the small house they had been banished to in sight. And also was close enough to see Ares run straight into the house and slam the door shut which angered her even more. He was the only one with a key!
She soon ran to the porch and twisted the knob over and over to get it to give way and let her in. People on the sidewalk looked at her weirdly and there were a few cat calls from the perverted boys that were looking at her and giving hints to her.
"Ares! Open the door now!" She demanded, anger growing with every moment. Half of his face appeared through the glass in the door, she could tell he was smirking; he even stuck his tongue out at her! "Open the friggin' door NOW!" She screamed. Trying in vain to hide herself, her baby blue eyes frantic like a deer caught in the head lights.
"Say please!" She heard his mocking voice through the wood.
She scoffed and put her hands on her hips, leaning against the door frame "You mean beg you, and that's not going to happen."
"Then stay out there!" Ares retorted before walking away nonchalantly. Aphrodite banged on the door furiously before an idea clicked in her head.
She turned around to all the men that were before the house, staring at her. "Go to Tartarus!" She yelled furiously before running to the side of the house, she climbed over the little wooden gate that led into the backyard.
Love looked at the house in front of her. There were three windows. She looked in the first one and saw Ares' room, the bed right beneath it. She was NOT about to take any chances with that! The second one looked into Artemis' room, which was painted a forest green color with many plants around it, giving it a forest like feel. It would do. She pushed on the window, tried to lift it up, even tried to put it down. "Damn it!" She yelled when she realized it was locked.
Aphrodite looked down to the third window, which was near the base of the house and was slightly cracked. She smiled coyly to herself and peeked in. It was very dark in it except for the sunlight that poured through the crack and lit the room up enough so she could see an empty grey room with a cold concrete floor. Oh well…
The goddess pushed the window and tried to squeeze through the small space it created. She groaned as she tried her best to get through. Finally though, she got all the way through and fell straight onto the hard, cold, concrete floor.
"Ow…" she said in pain (not really enthusiastically though). She sat up rubbing her aching head, waiting for the room to stop spinning. She slowly got to her feet and quickly reached for the wall as she stumbled in dizziness. Once there was only one room again, she made her way to the wooden staircase in front of her and reached for the door knob and pushed the door open, revealing the hallway in which their rooms were. She slowly walked to the den area with the big black box thing and spotted Ares flipping though the channels.
"I was wondering when you were going to use your powers, now I can write that down." He replied laughing at the goddess's disheveled hair and wild eyes.
"I didn't use my powers smart ass! I came through the window!" she replied. One side of her red lips twitching in frustration.
"Here." War said throwing the pants to the goddess, she got them on right as Hecate, Artemis, and Apollo burst through the door.
"I outta castrate you!" Aphrodite snarled at the god of war.
"Is that all you want to do, goddess?" Ares raised one eyebrow and smirked. But the smirk was quickly wiped off when Aphrodite's fist Came and hit him squarely in the jaw, knocking him over the back of the couch.
"Way to go!" Hecate responded with her trademark, menacing smirk. But the moment was interrupted by a crash coming from the back yard. They all rushed out to see what was going on, except for Ares who walked in a very slow pace as he tried to get his head straight.
There came a shriek as Hecate saw who had just fallen from the sky… "HERMES!" She shrieked falling on the god in a swarm of kisses, glad to see one other god from Olympus, even though his hair was now filled with leafs and branches from crashing in the tree.
(A/N) This chapter sucked! I know, I'm going to go into more detail about their classes in the next few chapters. Not to mention, later on Ares' little sister comes into the picture (be patient Meghan!)
