Chapter 18 Things Gets Weirder

Cleo POV

Things after that night at Deuce seemed tense, we barely got to fangout even after he got his license, his mother's evil glare was never fangout she was always watching making sure that he was punished for actions that happened a month ago. I sighed heavily as I sat in the creepateria alone. Deuce was missing in action I don't know, what he was doing but it was annoying.

He never had time for me, he was always busy being grounded you know, so what we had sex a few times it not like it was a big deal. I look to see the ghouls were walking over to me.

I was about to say to them when I heard this ear-shattering roar and something that sounded like wings beating against the sky.

Whatever it was let out another fierce roar bellowing out beating angst the sound. My ear felt like they were going to bleed at the tines sound. "Guys look it is a dragon."

I ran out of the creepateria and out to the front of the school, the bright sun beating against me as I looked up to see a dragon with large bright green scales and these kind black eyes that looked confused and scared all at the same time.

His large pearly white teeth were gleaming in the sunshine as he snarled and roared at all of us. His kind eyes filled with confusion and worry.

"Smokey." I hear Deuce's voice call out and then it clicked, the reason that the dragon looked so familiar was that it was Deuces dragon. The green bag of scales stopped snarling and look at Deuce his eyes wide with expectation as he flew done to Deuce till he was just on top of him.

As he started to land his wings whipped up the dirt and landed right in front of Deuce who was staring amazing at him, this wide dazzling smile on his face.

"Deuce Gorgon!" I looked intently at him for a moment and then at Mistress Bloodgood that was glaring at him like she was trying to force him to shrink from shame.

Deuce just frowned at Bloodgood as I walked over to him and placed a kiss on his check. He turned to look at me with this wide smile on his face as he pointed to pet the green mussel. He kissed his dragons before his dragon licked his face.

"It a good thing that I got these contact I wouldn't want to turn you to stone again buddy." I am smiled at him he was so cute. The dragon's turned his eyes to look at me for a minute before licking my face too.

I laughed his tongue was so soft yet slimy art at the same time. Any other ghouls would creep out, but it was the cutest thing to me kind of like Hessite tongue.

I looked at the Dagon his kind black eyes looking over me and then turned to Deuce coking his head to the side, almost as if he was waiting for an introduction. "Deuce Gorgon what do you think that you are doing."

There was that annoying buzzing voice again. When I turned around to see that Bloodgood was walking over to us Nightmare was hiding in the concert he didn't want to go anywhere near Smoky. He must have even cared of him that was so cute.

"Deuce take your dragon home right this instance and then be back at the school. By the end of the day, I will be having your parents coming down." I swore that I had Deuce saying something under his breath in a different language.

"Yes, headmistress." I heard Deuce bit back at her as a tense smile formed on her face until she left our sight. Then he broke out into his huge grin as he hopped onto Smokey base. He had this sly smirk on his face as he looked down at me.

"You're coming, ghoul, looking." I look at Deuce as his deeply tan skin was reaching out to me. I took it without a second thought before he yanked me onto Smokey's back.

As I held tightly onto Deuce waist, as Smokey did aerials and flew up in the clouds it was amazing to be this high in the sky and not be surrounded by metal. When I looked down I could see Deuce house below us.

But what I didn't notice was all tej land securing the house including a large callosum made out of greek marble. I didn't know that he owned that much land I think that it more land than my family owned in Salem.

"Deuce" I looked up from the ground to be met by Deuce snake mohawk. Smokey started to plummet towards the ground causing me to hold tighter which got his attention."Yeah, babe." I looked over my shoulder to see that Smokey's wings beating against the sky..

I watched as the ground came closer and I felt this adrenaline leave my chest. "That ground that is coming closer to us is that the dragon pits you were talking about the other night." "Yup it's about 30 acres of forest plus a Greek column when we moved to new Salem when I was a kid my dad bought most of the land surrounding the place.

He said that he didn't want mortals, messing with me or mom so he made sure that we had all the land spurring the house. Dad was actually the one that got me Smokey. I have had him since he was a hatchling."

I could hear the sound of joy that is in his voice and it force me to smile, I don't think that I had ever seen him this happy. I giggled as we land in the dragon pit, Deuce was on the ground in a second, he moved like a good dress blur.

He reached his hand up to me and I felt this warm spread over me, as e flite me into his strong and capable arms. I wrapped my arms around his neck gripping his nape before kissing him gently at first but then rouge.

As passionate started to consume us, that was until I felt something poking my back. I turned back to see that Smokey was poking his nose at me. I laughed and kissed him on his scally green mussel. "I like you to Smokey."

I looked at him and smiled wide before Deuce took my hand and placed it gently on Smokey soul. I could feel the muscle in his back they were so strong, as he moved his wings they contracted and grow hard and stronger. I could see why people loved the idea of dragons.

"We should get going I'm sure that if I don't get back at the right time that will be another thing that they will call my parent about." I nodded my head he had a point, but I didn't want to go back.

As we walked down the sidewalk I couldn't help but see how tense that Deuce was, and it was about time that he stopped lying to me. "Deuce baby, I know that you are off, now would you tell me. I haven't talked to you in days and you have been avoiding me at all cost. You sent me to voicemail and you don't drive me home. What are ups with you?"

I don't look at Deuce, his eyes seemed drowned to something. "I…I have been seeing things since I was on the plane that nearly crashed." I could hear this pain in his voice as I looked at him his green eyes clouded over with confusion. I kissed his cheek gently and smiled a little bit "What has been going on Deuce." I made sure that my voice was gentle and unwavering. I wanted him to know that he could tell me anything.

Deuce pulled me to a stop and sat down on a steel bench we were right outside the monster high door. I looked at him with his bright green eyes were shining. I am going to hate it when he must go back to shades. "I have been seeing Zeus all over the place, at first it was in my dream, saying that he was going to kill me for shaming him.

Then it was more gradually I started to see him on the side of the road, as he dragged his finger across his throat. Then it was at the house when you left. He was there in the house with me, right in front of the back door this disgusting look on his face. He was about to hit me with his bolt when my dad came up behind me.

Now I am seeing him all over the place and it's driving me insane. I think that he really is here, but my dad is trying to convince me that Zeus is still on Olympus. But I know that can't be true, it's freaking me out."

I looked at Deuce his voice was shaking but full of certainty as he looked at me, he wrapped his finger in mine as he pulled me back up as we started to walk into another school. On our way back to class I could hear the whisper of our classmates as we walked in class.

I took my seat with Deuce beside me, but I could feel all the class eyes on me. I guess they were actually looking at Deuce since it was his dragon that had attacked the school. But the little guy was just scared and confused. He was stone for like 6 years. Or could all the whispering have been because his dad is a god?

It was probably Draculaura that let that information slip. I sighed and let the rest of the class go by I wasn't really paying much attention to any of it. I was staring out of the window and there was this figure on the edge of the forest. I would have squinted to get a better look at that would cause wrinkle and royalty do not get wrinkles.

By the end of class, I and Deuce were walking to Bloodgood's office when he pulled me to a spot, "My parent is going to be here any moment, but I want to drive you home okay? You were right I was blowing you off even if I was grounded. I should have made more of an effort to sneak out of the house and see you. Love you, babe."

He kissed me lightly on the check and I felt this smile forming on my face as I started to walk to study howl. When I was just about down the hallway a strong with a rough hand attache yanked me into the janitor's closet. I snarled when he pushed he angrily up against the wall. The gift from the outside slipping away as the door slammed shut.

When I opened my eyes I was met with electric blue eyes this deep current flowing through his body. As I look at him there was this vindicate smile on his face. I felt his hand gripping my throat tightly cutting off the airflow to my brain.

"List you abomination. I am going to kill that boy and if you want to live then you will stay out of my way. When I make him got insane no one will believe him. Then at that moment when his family loses faith in him, I will kill him. Keep your fucking mouth shut and say out of my way and you will get to live." Before I could say a word he was gone like a ghost.

I couldn't move, I collapse to the ground what was happening? Deuce had really seen Zeus and it wasn't just that he was here. He was there when we were in the living room and that would mean that he was going to kill him.

What the hell was wrong with this man I don't think that I have ever met any god, normie, or monster that would want to kill their own family. I shut my eyes as I pulled my knees to the chest and rest my head on them. I sat there shivering for a moment before the floodgate open and I cried. What is going on?!
