Chapter 7 -Unknown Ties Uniting
A/N: Why hello readers. Time for a new chapter. Sorry it took so long. Here ya go. Some of the stuff Eva says is a reference to something I've experienced/seen/lived/idk/other stuff IRL.
Eva's PoV
As the Hogwarts Express pulls into the station, Eva looks around in awe. "Ho-ly Ha-des," she says breathlessly, "it's just like I imagined." Eva glances around and pales as she realizes she can see the thestrals. "No. Nononononono, NO!" She panics slightly, and whispers to herself "no no no, her death was enough?" Disoriented, she stumbles away from the group, "I-I'll meet you guys up at the school! I'll be on a different boat!" She calls out to the demigods and the witches. They look at her confused, but shrug and grin. She wasn't on the boat with anyone she recognized. She didn't necessarily like her group. A dark haired kid with an annoying face leans back with a grin, American accent shining, "You new here too? My name's Aiden. Aiden Darnell. Just transferred from Marchers Uni-" he freezes, "Corey!? You're here too? Brandon sent you? When? You've been gone for months! Where's your band, trumpet and swim hair markings? I mean, I know that we got ours temporarily dyed to normal colors, but you are so proud of yours! Anyways, where have you been?" She looks at the kid confused, "uh…I don't know who you are. And my name is Eva, not Corey. Genuinely don't know where you're getting that from." "You can't forget me hummer! I'm your 'annoying little Darnosaur brother.' You're my annoying hummer sibling. Alex, Shurb, and Zoey are here. A-and Caleb's here too, you have to remember him, Corey!" Aiden looks at Eva desperately, making her feel all the worse for disappointing him.
"No Aiden, I don't."
Caleb's PoV
Caleb taps his foot impatiently as he waits for Aiden, Zoey, and Shurb. Alex was already there with him. Caleb glances down at a picture of him and Corey. It was his favorite picture of them. The marching band had just won the Midstates Championship, and someone decided to snap a picture of him spinning them around. Corey was laughing and grinning. Their tiny hummingbird wings were going a hundred miles an hour. They looked so happy. Caleb's dragon wings were fully spread. He remembered that day in such great detail. He missed them. He loved them. He missed them checking in on him whenever they could. Alex grins and nudges him, "You're missing Corey ain't ya?" He nodded and sighed.
About five minutes later, Zoey and Shurb showed up. "Hey Caleb, Alex." Zoey said with a grin. "Hey idiots." said Shurb, deadpan. Alex wheezed and Caleb laughed and grinned, "well hello to you too Shurb." And then Aiden zoomed into the picture, panicked. "I have good and bad news." He stopped to catch his breath, "Well spit it out!" said Zoey, gesturing with their hands. "Good news, I was on a boat with Corey…" Caleb perked up, "What's the bad news Darnell?"
As Aiden summarized his conversation, Caleb went paler than his already pale skin.
"They don't remember anything about us, they don't have their band, swim, and trumpet hair markings, weird, I know, they don't have their wings, and they're going by their deadname."
A/N- oooooo, new plot point. Remember this line from the prophecy? Unknown ties shall unite? Me neither, I just decided to link in people from a book I haven't written yet, and I looked back on this fic to see if it would fit and make sense, and it happened to link with the prophecy! Anyways, I'll give you lore for the story, not now.
See y'all next time,
