Chapter 19: The Ex
Cecilia's POV
The next morning I woke up and saw Emmett sitting on my footlocker. He looked at me and said, "I had to make sure you were still alive."
"Thank the gods I am," I smirked. He walked over and lay down on the bed with me.
"So how did you explain you're scar?"
"I told her the truth."
"How much of the truth?" he raised an eyebrow.
"Everything about me being a demigod and my father. It was kind of a relief telling her. Like I don't have to keep lying to her."
"That's always good."
"Yeah and maybe today I'll tell her that we're together."
"Good I'd love to meet her."
"Great but you should've seen her when I came in. First she was all nice and then she blew up."
"Really?"
"Yeah she was all Oh My God I was so worried then WHERE THE HELL WERE YOU?"
"Wow."
"Yup,"
"Cecilia," Aunt Karen called from downstairs
"Yes," I called
"Do you want some eggs?" she asked
"Yeah," I answered.
"Well come and get 'em," she said
"OK," I said and turned to Emmett, "I'll see you later,"
"See you later," he kissed my forehead and went out the window. I walked down stairs in my sweats and tank top.
"How'd you sleep?" she asked, giving me a plate.
"Good, how 'bout you?" I asked
"Same. I have a few questions about all the demigod stuff."
"Ok shoot."
"Well can you explain it?"
"Yeah. All demigods have ADHD and dyslexia. Monsters, like hydras and shit like that, can be killed by celestial bronze. Because I'm a demigod, I can be killed by both celestial bronze and things humans can be killed by. Some demigods get certain powers like if you're a child of Poseidon you can breathe underwater, if you're a child of Demeter you can control plants and so on. Because I'm a child of Ares I could get Ares blessing during battle. Ares blessing is pretty much when Ares making you invincible."
"So you're twice as vulnerable."
"Yup but don't worry, I can protect myself."
"Why isn't your father involved?"
"He is, I see him a couple of times a year and he was at mom's funeral."
"What I mean is why doesn't he actually come and visit you?"
"Gods can't have a lot of contact with their children but they do have some." She nodded and started eating.
"Your mother always got the good men." We started cracking up.
"Aunt Karen,"
"Yes"
"You know I have a boyfriend,"
"Really what's his name? Do I know him? Is he a demigod?"
"It's Emmett Cullen."
"Oh a Cullen."
"Please don't tell me you have a crush on his dad." She was silent. "That's disgusting."
"How?"
"Because;
I'm dating his son
He's like not even 30
He's married"
"Whatever."
"What about Chiron?"
"Who?"
"Mr. Brunner"
"Well…"
"Just one thing about him."
"What?"
"He's a centaur." Her eyes bulged out of her head.
"Like the half-horse, half-dude things."
"Yup."
"What's with the wheelchair?"
"It's magic, he sticks his horse ass in it and the legs are plastic."
"Oh, I'm gonna go watch TV."
"Alright," she got up and walked out to the living room. A few hours later I got a text from Emmett.
Were goin 2 play baseball u in
Yeah wat time
Ill pick u up at 4
C u then
I walked in the living and saw Aunt Karen looking at a book on Greek mythology.
"Some of those are actually myths."
"Oh. So what's up?"
"Do u mind if I go out with Emmett tonight?"
"I don't know."
"It's me and his family."
"Do I get to meet him?"
"He actually wants to meet you."
"Alright."
4 O'clock
Emmett showed up right on time. Because he was a vampire, I assumed I wasn't playing. I opened the door and saw him standing there with all his sexiness.
"Hey babe," he said and kissed me.
"Hey. My aunt's over here." I lead him to where my aunt was reading the newspaper. I cleared my throat and she looked up. "Aunt Karen this Emmett. Emmett this is my aunt Karen."
"It's a pleasure to meet you ma'am." He said
"It's nice to meet you too."
"I thought it would only be right if I met you now that I'm going out with your niece."
"Of course. How long have you two been going out?"
"A few weeks." She nodded.
"Well you two better get going. Where are you going anyway?"
"My family and I are going to play baseball so I thought I'd invite Cecilia."
"Of course. Goodbye." We walked out and I hopped out into his jeep.
"Nice job, she really likes you," I said
"Who doesn't?"
"So conceited."
"Just a little." I chuckled. Soon we were at a dead end path in the woods.
"So where exactly are you going to play?" I asked.
"We have to run there."
"I bet I could beat you there." He looked at me with a funny look.
"Yeah right."
"You don't know how fast I am."
"Fine."
"Ready"
"Set"
"GO!" I let Emmett take head but then I transformed into a cheetah and passed him almost immediately. Good thing he didn't know about how Artemis blessed me and gave me the gift of turning into any animal. Still in my cheetah form I emerged out of the woods into a large field. All the Cullen's eyes were on me. Edward it's me, Cecilia, I thought to him.
"Guys, it's Cecilia," Edward said. I transformed back to normal and smiled.
"How did you do that?" Carlisle asked.
"I was blessed by Artemis a couple of years ago; I haven't used that power in a while though." Just Emmett ran in and his eyes went wide when he saw I won.
"Wait... I thought…you were…behind…what?" he said.
"The blessing of Artemis my friend," I patted his shoulder and he laughed.
"I should've known you would have something up your sleeve."
"Let's get started," Jasper said. I sat on a rock and watched them play. Carlisle, Alice, Jasper and Bella were on one team while Esme, Emmett, Renesme and Edward were on the other. The game was fun until Alice blanked out for a minute.
"STOP!" she yelled.
"What's going on?" Esme asked.
"She's here."
"How far away?" Edward asked.
"Not far, she heard us playing."
"Who is she?" I asked.
"It's-" Emmett started but was cut-off.
"Me, Rosalie," a girl's voice said. We all turned and saw a girl who was drop dead gorgeous. She had long blond hair and topaz eyes.
"Auntie Rosie," Renesme said running towards Rosalie.
"Hey Nessie," She said. Edward stood between them. "Why can't I see my niece?"
"Because you aren't part of this family," Esme said.
"But I am. Remember Emmett. Last month when you were gone," Rosalie said.
"Rosalie…"Emmett said.
"What's she talking about?" I asked.
"Nothing," he said.
"It's a whole lot more than nothing, Emmett," she turned to me and said, "He's still in love with me and we did it last month." Everyone was silent. I was getting pissed. I was sure my eyes were red now.
"Is she right?" I asked. He didn't answer. "Is she telling the truth?"
He looked at me and sighed, "Yes, she is."
"You're an asshole." I slapped him and walked away.
"Cecilia," he said but I quickly turned into a hawk and flew back home. When I got into my room I fell onto my bed and cried into my pillow. Will was right I thought He is a monster and I could do so much better than him.
***This is some of that intense shit I was talking about. I might not be able to update till next week so bear with me. Love you all***
