Walking into the room, I noticed a tall older man with black hair, playing a game with a boy, looking to be in his late teens with dirty blonde hair and light blue eyes. "dear, dj, guess who I found at the bar." Aarons mother said walking into the room.
"Hmm, someone to fix the water pipes," the older man asked
"No Rich look ," chris said, stepping into the room "I think you and dj will be surprised."
Turning to look at aaron, both of the guys just stared, "Yo, been a while, huh rich, Dj" Aaron said, smirking at them.
"Aaron where have you been all this time," Dj said standing up and moveing clear to aaron.
"Oh here and there, this world is a big place," aaron stated as he ruffled the young boys hair. "Boy have you grown."
The man rich walked up to aaron ,looking him up and down. " is it just me or have you grown, and I don't mean in height."
Letting out a slight sigh aaron sat down on the couchand motioned for me to sit, I went to sit next to him as I was almost on the couch he pulled me into his slightly I tried to pull away to sit next to him instead but his grip closed slightly tighter around my waist as he continued t otalk with rich. "Traveling the world and seeing the things that I have seen can cause that."
"So, whose this lovely lady in your lap there aaron." Rich said as he smirked slightly at aaron.
"Oh this is my girlfriend Alex, Alex this is my family. The short one is dj,my little brother, and this guy," he motioned to rich. "Is rich Dj's dad."
"it's a pleasure to meet the both of you." I said, trying to move Aarons arm again to no avail. He pulled me closer to his chest abit more and looked over to his mom. "So what have you guys been up to?" he asked, and I sat there expecting to be stuck on his lap for a while.
"Hey Chris," aaron said as we walked out of his parents apartment. "Would ou like to come with me and talk a bit in my room."
"Sure, I think there are a few 'Things' we should catch up on," chris then proceeded to follow us out of the apartment towards Aarons room.
As Aaron opened his door I watched Chris walk in as he was directed and take a seat on the recliner. I follow and sit next to Aaron on the couch across from his brother.
"So Chris… how's the power treating you?" aaron asked, while looking at his borther. I turn to look at Aaron confused then back to his brother,.
" so you noticed that huh." Chris said as he rubbed the back of his head with a sheepish grin.
"yeah kinda hard not to after dealing with everything I have for so long." Aaron stated while grinning at his brother.
"What are you guys talking about?" I look back and forth between the two brothers, and sigh.
" why don't you show her chris." Aaron said with a small smile crossing his face.
"Are you sure? I mean she is only human. Chris said with a thoughtful look towards me. I turn my head glare at him softly.
"Oh trust me for the past three years she has been neck deep in magic, I think she is far from being a normal human." Aaron stated his smile becoming a grin and I turned my glare to him.
"well if you insist" chris said as he stood. His body began to shimmer and his short brown hair grew to shoulder length and became black with red stripes running through it. His forehead spouted protrusions as long black demon horns with red spirals running from base to tip and curved back along the shape of his head and curved upwards at the back. A tiara of flames would appears on his head, the front of it open as the flames licked as his hair but never set it ablaze.
On his back black wings sprouted out , reminiscent of a fallen angel. As his hands morphed, before their eyes, from the elbows down as his skin became scales that ended in claws protruding from where his hands once were. From between his legs a black reptilian tail could be seen growing out with spikes running down the length. As his feet morphed, ripping off his shoes, where once was normal feet, were now feet that resembled a raptor's.
His clothing changed as he was now wearing a pair of black leather pants and a black combat flak jacket was seen on his torso, unzipped to reveal a multitude of scars that lay underneath. His eyes changed, his right becoming pure crimson red like that of blood and his left becoming pitch black like that of a deep abyss. Paying close attention I noticed stylized dragons swirling around in his eyes. My eyes just grow wide as I watched all of this happening.
"So what do you think." Chris asked grinning sheepishly to show off his razor sharp teeth.
"Well… not exactly what I was expecting" aaron said staring with a surprised look upon his face.
"umm…" I said just continuing to stare at his brother.
"So what's with the look dude?" aaron asked as he recovered from his shock.
"Oh, this? Just my god form." Chris stated matter of factly.
"God form? You're a god?" aaron asked surprise crossing his face once again.
"Yeah part of the 13th pantheon to be precise. I'm the lord of chaos, the ruler of the 13th pantheon" chris said bending over to bow slightly.
"Wow that's impressive… whats the 13th pantheon exactly?" I asked curiouslyand wait for him to answer.
"Yeah… even someone like me, who has direct xontact with gods doesn't know what this is please explain." Aaron asked aswell giving his brother and intrigued look.
"The 13th pantheon is the highest form of gods. They have control over the main aspects of life itself such as life death chaos and peace. It is compromised of 13 different gods and each god is invulnerable. Nothing can kill the 13th pantheon so no one can take a place on it. Chris explained.
"Well…" I thought about it for a second. "Ok then… I guess you're an important guy then. does you little brother have special powers to?" I asked turning to look once again between the two of them.
"Not to my knowledge alex, but seeing how I am the highest of gods and Aaron is a dimension traveler it would be no surprise for something to happen to D, in the near future. There just seems to be something in our blood that attracts these kinds of things. Chris said sitting back down his form shimmering back to that of a normal human.
"Meh, I expect it to happen now, after seeing you chris. Oh since you'r a god… can you give me any pointers… for later encounters. Aaron said grinning slightly.
"I'm sorry Aaonr we cannot reveal the future, I can tell you that you will have to leave sometime tomorrow though." He said giving aaron an apologetic look.
"its ok its more then I expected to get." Aaron said as he got a downcast look. "and I just got together with the girl I love too… and I have to leave already."
Chris looked at aaron for a second before saying "why don't you just bring her with."
"Wait… I can do that?" aaron asked chris with a surprised look.
"Why not? No one ever said you couldn't, did they?" Chris stated giving Aaron an amused grin.
Just then the door to Aarons room opened depositing angela in the middle of the room. "Umm… Hi" she said rubbing the back of her head with a sheepish grin.
"Hi angela" Aaron said grinning at her "You're just in time. I wa about to give chris a late birthday party… I think I missed a few of them so chris HAPPY LATE BIRTHDAY" Aaron said as he grinned.
"I think I need a drink." Standing up I start walking towards Aarons kitchen. "Hey Aaron do you have any rum…" Opening the fridge door I just stop and stare before reaching in and grabbing four bottles and walk back to the couch. "I figure everyone else would be thrist as well." I hand off a bottle to everyone and crack mine open to take a swig of it.
"Thanks, Alex" Aaron said as he took his bottle and opened it, taking a swig for himself. "So Angela how much did you hear?"
"Well… I started listening around the time of him not what you expected." She stated sheepishly.
"Well… that's good because then I won't have to discuss this with you. As you heard, I'm leaving tomorrow and bringing Alex with me if she wants to go." He said looking over at me questioningly.
"hmm let me think about that. I would go out and have better training, and probably some adventures, and I get to be with you the whole time so you don't just randomly leave me again." I said sending a slight glare his way before I continue the smile slightly "I don't know… sounds kinda boring…"
"I'll take that as a yes then" Aaron said before pulling me into his lap and hugged me. Smiling I lean forward and place a kiss on his lips before leaning back and taking another swig of my rum.
"I don't think tante will care much as long as I continue to train and learn more about my powers anyway."
"well we can still give her a heads up. I think we should have enough time tomorrow to get there and let her know, what do you think Chris" Aaron said looking over at chris who was already ¾ of the way done with his bottle.
"Hmmm, you should make it." Chris said taking another swig. I turned to look at Angela as she sat climbed up to sit on the couch.
"So Angela… What are you going to do without me.?" I asked as she took another swig of her drink and cringed slightly.
"I Don't know how you guys can drink this stuff straight."
Chris took another swig and looked over at Angela "immunity of a God."
Aaron chugged his before grinning at angela "Years of drinking the stuff." Feeling slightly outdone I chugged my bottle aswell.
"same I have been drinking rum for a very long time. So back to what I asked you before."
"Well… all I have to say is Can I Come with you tooo… its boring here and you guys are the closed friends I got, even though I just met you aaron."
Ginning slightly Aaron looked over to chris questionly. "Think my portals have room for one more?"
Chris thought for a second, "I don't know it should be fine, but its only been carrying one for a while, might be some slight disturbances."
Looking over at Angela, Aaron smiled "As long as your fine with a bumpy ride you can come… if Alex is fine with it. It's lonely having to make new friends each time." Feeling the alcohol I just chugged I just turn and grin at him. Leaning over I give Angela a long drawn out kiss on the lips before pulling away and smiling.
"I Don't mind I will be glad to have some one else along that will be new at this." I lean back against Aaron chest and take another long swig of my bottle.
At this both Aaron and chris raised there eyebrows and stare. "Well , that was interesting…" Aaron said grinning. Laughing slightly I look up at his with a large smirk.
"What didn't I ever tell you I was Bi, and Angela is hot so…" I said looking back to Angela and winked.
"No, no you did not, I think I'll store away that nice tid bit, and I agree , she is hot." Aaron said as he looked over to Angela and winked at her himself.
"Well thank you aaron you not so bad yourself, and as for you Alex" Angela then grabbed my wrist and pulled my on to her lap to return the favor with another long kiss leaving a blush on my face. "I think you pretty sexy to."
Aaron just looked between the two of us and grinned. "what no love for Aaron here?" both of us just looked at each other and laugh slightly before turning and sticking our tounges out at aaron, laughing again. I crawl back over to his lap and give him a heated kiss before leanoing my head on his shoulder and taking another chug of my drink.
"what about you angela? Need a HUUUUG." Aaron said smirking. Grinning at him and gets on her knees and leans over giving him a quick peck on the cheek, then laughs and sits back chugging from her bottle.
Aaron looked over at chris and noticed him staring blankly, before taking a swig from his bottle. "What's wrong bro?"
Chris continued to just stare at us blankly. "You are one lucky bastard."
"Why thank you." Aaron said smirking at his brother. "Now then" aaron said with a devilish grin. "Who's up for a game?"
Feeling my body being shook I groaned slightly. "Ugh go away… I'm comfy." I said as I started to slip back to sleep.
"so was I, Squeezed between to hot girls, but were hae to get up if we are going to let your tante know that we are leaving plus I need to grab something." Aaron said as he shook me a bit harder this time. Groaning again I burry my self deeper into Angelas chest.
"I don't wanna… I can call her go get what you need then wake me up…"
"No, you have to atleast tell her in person, if you don't wanna wake up I'll resort to drastic measures." He said with a known smirk in his voice. I sneak a peak up at him.
"I swear to god aaron if you want me to get up right this instant you had better have a cigarette waiting for me and I can't promise that it will save you." I said as I buried back into Angela's breasts.
"Hey, don't swear to god he's sitting right over there. Aaron said as he pointed over to chris.
Feeling aaron lift up the blankets I became concerned as I felt a freezing hand lay on my stomach, I jumped as I felt angela do the same. "You dick." Creating a fire ball in my hand I blindly at aaron. "couldn't you just have gotten the cigarette, you had to put your cold hand on me." I said staring at him as I sat on the bed.
" I did get the cigarette." He said as he handed it to me. " And just be glad it was your stomach I could have gone lower." Putting the cigarette to my mouth I concentrate on lighting it as smoke begins to leave the end. Taking a drag I just smirk up at him.
"Now that would have been the way to wake up… why didn't you do that again?"
"because we don't have the time for me to have finished what I started, plus I don't know if angela would have liked waking up like that… or maybe she would have." Aaron said giving angela a sly grin.
"Actually I would have thoroughly enjoyed that, that was cruel what you did with you hand just now." Angela Said pouting slightly.
"hmmm well now I know how to wake you guys up properly." Aaron said with a smirk as he grabbed the cigarette from my mouth as he leaned in and gave my a kiss then leaned over and kissed angela aswell.
"You lucky bastard." Chris said as he got up and put his clothes on.
"Nah chris This would make him a lucky bastard." As I said this I leaned over and kissed Angela Deeply running my hand along her chest, and pull away with a giant smirk grabbing my cigarette back from aaron to take a drag.
"You lucky bastard." Chris said as he just stared at what I had just did.
"Why yes, yes I am." Aaron said with his classic smirk, as he started to get himself dressed. "Come on you two , we gotta get moving. Pack what you think you'll need for a long trip, but try to keep it to what you can carry on you person. You gonna see us off Chris?"
"Might as well, haven't seen you in years , the least I can da is watch you go." Chris said as he smirked at aaron.
"Well isn't that smirk similar. I will be back shortly I don't need much from my apartment." Standing up I walk through Aarons apartment naked and over to my own.
Walking into my room I couldn't think of anything I reall y needed to have with me except one thing. Walking over to the closet I grabbed the robe that tante had made for my mother. She had given it to me when I started my training. Clutching it to my chest I walk over to my dresser and pull out a pair of pants and a tank top. Jump in the shower I quickly wash uo and dress myself grabbing the robe again I make my way back to Aarons.
Walking in I look over to aaron on the couch and smile. "this is the only thing I can't leave behind do you mind putting it in you bag other then that I am ready." I smile gently at him.
"sure." Aaron said as he grabber the robe and put it into his bag that had all of his miscellaneous items. "So, you guys ready? We need to go so I can stop by a fabric store." Confused, I just nodded my head to confirm I was ready.
"I'm ready if you guys are." Angela said
"Ok then let's head out." Aaron said as he got up off the couch and handed chris the key " grab the rum when we leave, it's yours, then take this to the receptionist, also tell Fred we quit, Please. Tell mom I'm sorry I couldn't stay longer."
"Gotcha." Chris said as he put the key in his pocket. " but wait… who's fred?"
"Just tell the people that work at the bar that you are looking for Fred, he's our boss. Now then let's go." Aaron said as he moved towards the door.
Standing in front of my tante's house I look over to aaron who was now wearing a black blindfold across his eyes. Smileing slightly I laugh.
"You know Aaron I can think of many things to do with that." Laughing again I knock on the door.
"You and me both, but it's main purpose is training." He said with a smirk. The door opened to reveal Tante standing there with her hair thrown up in a messy bun.
"Chere L'une, What do I owe the pleasure you're not due for two more days."
"Tante, can I talk to you for a minute."
"Wee, come on in everyone." Walking in I take a seat on her couch and aaron sat next to me.
"Tante… I have come to say goodbye. I'm sorry I couldn't stay longer and learn more from you about our family, but I am leaving today to continue my training with Aaron."
"I knew this was coming Soon chere', I just wish you could stay. I know this boy is important, and I know he has trained you before so I wish you luck with it. I also want you to know that you are always welcome here." She said with a smile on her face.
Aaron stood suddenly. "Well guys its time to go."
"Already? wow chris was right we had just enough time to get here and say goodbye." Standing I hug tante and start to head for the door followed closly by Aaron Angela and chris.
Opening the door I go to head out of it when I noticed Sean standing on the other side. "Sean what are you doing here?"
"I'm sorry that I followed you Alex but I need to tell you… I'm in love with you…" he said and shock crossed my face.
"WOW… little late there aren't we dude? Aaron said as he walked out and stood by me wrapping his arm around my shoulder. "Were about to leave, and you say this now." Elbowing Aaron in the side I give sean an apologetic look.
"leave? As in your leaving the Area?" Sean asked hesitantly.
"Yeah kinda Sean, We are leaving this dimension, together. Look Sean you're a good friend but I love Aaron and I am going with him, Now." Saying this I walk around him out to the middle of tante's drive way. "This good Aaron?" I turn to watch Aaron and angela walk up
to me.
"Should be fine." He said as he pulled his guitar and strummed a complicated tune. Once finished a portal opened before us in the drive way. Looking once more over to tante I waved goodbye.
"well C'ya around bro." I watched him wave to his brother then I reached for his left hand wrapping my fingers through his. Aaron then reach his other hand out and grabbed angela's as we jumped into the portal that was made. As it closed behind us I saw a long hallway full of black and white swirls. "Careful first travel is always a doozy."
Gripping his hand tighter I look over at him " any clue what expect or where we might be going?"
"Not at all, all I can say is be ready for a fight." Aaron said looking over to Angela. "You ok Angela?"
"Slightly dizzy but otherwise I'm fine."
"That's good, we should be seeing the end soon." He said as suddenly there was a huge tremor that ran the length of the hallway, causing Aaron to loose the grip on our hands. "What the fuck?" looking back I noticed cracks appearing in the floor and watched as Angela fell in to one. "WHAT THE FUCK? DID WE OVERLOAD IT?" Aaron said as I saw him run towards the crack to see if angela was ok. I start running to catch up with him as a crack appears in front of me and I slowly back away "ALEX,ARE YOU OK?" I hear him yell for me as I felt my Foot slip and I fell into fissure and Aaron was gone.
