Sushi: back with a new chapter! so sorry about not updating! Hellia is out for this one again. Neither of us know where he is though.
Hellspawn: He's out with his that one chick. You know, the new one?
Sushi: he's out with her? -steaming-
Hellspawn: yeah, why?
Sushi: in chemistry today she was a total bitch to me!
Hellspawn: really? she was nice to me and Hellia today. We both think she likes us.
Sushi: -jealous- she's a bitch. don't go out with her.
Hellspawn: wasn't planning on it. I only have my eyes set on y-nevermind.
Sushi: who? oh, what ever, lets just start.
Disclaimer: we do not own COTT. bleh.
"I can't beleave he has her in his room." Archie whispered to Atlanta an hour later in the kitchen. They were alone, but were careful to keep their voices low incase someone in the other room heard them.
"I can. Its odvious he likes her." She whispered back.
"Thats true." he said leaning back a bit. 'Nice Atlanta, real nice. You can tell when someone likes someone else, but you still can't tell when someone likes you. Thats great.' he thought. ((Hellspawn: -thinking- -I can relate-))
"Its funny that he found her on our roof though." she said, crossing her arms.
"How so?" he asked.
"Well, Cronus is after us too so here isn't really the safest place to be if she wants protection, now is it?" she said.
"Your right about that, Atlanta, but what if she thought it was safe enough with Odie around?" he suggested.
"Maybe, but I still don't think so." she said sighing.
"Don't think what?" It was Jay, along with Theresa.
"Nothing!" both yelped in unison. The other two just shrugged it off and kept walking.Once they were out of earshot, Archie and Atlanta sighed, releaved that they hadn't heard.
Odie opened his eyes half way as he felt Nike shift on his lap. He had been sleeping lightly till she'd moved a bit. the room was quiet except for their breathing, the toast Archie had brought them lay on its platw untouched. He stared down at her. She looked so content and peaceful in her sleep. Totally innocent. Her eyes stayed shut, fluttering every now and then, breathing slowly in and out in an almost perfect rythm. He woundered what she was dreaming about. At least it looked like a calm one. She rolled off him and more onto the bed. He covered her and stood.
"Ahh!" he whispered. "Foot asleep!" he smacked his foot and made his way to his computer and logged onto the internet.
There was something bugging him that he wanted to research. He typed 'silver falcon ring' into a search bar, pressed enter and let it load. The loaded page had nothing like her ring. He stood and looked at the ring more closely, careful not to wake her. He found something inscribed on the back of the band. The greek words 'Χρονική γυναίκα, για πάντα περισσότεροι.' were there. He went back to the computer and used a downloaded translator. He came up with the words 'Time's Woman, Forever More'. He looked from the translated, bolded words on the screen to Nike. What was this for? And engagment ring? Nah, Cronus was deranged, but he wasn't sick minded. Or was he really? Odie shook his head and sighed. He heard his name being called from downstairs.
"I'll be down in a couple of minutes!" he called back. Nike stirred on the bed.
"Whats with the yelling?" she asked sleepily, opening her eyes and looking over at him.
"I have classes in an hour. Your going to have to stay in here." he said.
"Oh, alright." she said, hesitating.
"I think we're going to need to bind your wings somehow."
"What?" she asked, glancing at her wings. "Why?"
"Just so they don't knock anything over. Remember the flower pot?" he asked, recalling that she'd broken one of them. She nodded.
"What with though? Its not like you have giant elastic bands laying around." she said.
"A belt would work." he said, picking one up off the laundry hamper.
She stood and turned so he could strap her wings down. He walked up behind her and slipped the belt around her chest and around to the other side of her back. She folded her wings tightly against herself. He strapped them as tight as possible without it being uncomfortable for her. Once finished he noticed her shoulders slump slightly.
"Its like strapping down freedom." she said sighing sadly.
"I guess so. You can still fly if you take it off though."
"I know, but with hiding from him being my first priority, I don't think thats so safe." she said, not even bothering to mention Cronus' name anymore. It Must've just brought whatever happened back to her.
"True. I have to go get ready. I'll be back around two o'clock. Stay in here, okay?" he asked, grabbing clean clothing.
"Okay." she said, watching as he closed the door.
All went quiet after about twenty minutes. She looked out the window to see Odie and the other six walking toward the school. She smiled deviloushly. Her eyes, along with the stones in the ring's eyes went a bloody crimson. She pulled back a few strands of her hair back behind her ear to reveal an ear phone hooked into her earing. The black stone in it flickered red.
"Mission One: sucessful." she said. He, along with two others, know of my presence. He trusts me so far, I think the other two do as well. They suspect I'm harmless and somewhat terrified. What a kick in the face they'll get."
"Well done, my dear." a voice crackled through the ear piece. "Just a day after this one and our win will be assured."
"This'll go off without a hitch. Our plan all clear for tomarrow night?" she asked the voice.
"Its clear. Watch yourself, mind you. Don't fall with him, he's the enemy." the voice warned, emphraising the word 'enemy'.
"Yes, sir." she said, the light in the earring going off. Her eyes, as well as the ring's, went a soft grey/blue. "He's the enemy..."
Sushi: there you go. oh, the winner of that poll was Foxes, Canadian Forest. just another question, should I include Nikky in this next fic? I'm not sure about it so I want your opinion.
