Chapter Nine
Daniel
-English class-
"Okay Class it seems we have four new students Ethan Jacobs, Daniel Jacobs, Elle Lupa and Freya Lupa. So you guys are related and you girls are related?" The teacher Mrs Benjamin asked. "Umm yes Ethan and I are half brothers" I quickly jumped in, "and you girls?" Mrs Benjamin looked at the two girls. I then I looked at the girl Freya and nearly jumped, she was the one from last night that helped kill the manticore with the Ghost Assassin, wait didn't the ghost assassin say she had a sister called Elle this chic must be it!
"Freya and I are from the same orphanage so we go under the name the orphanage gave us" Elle said quickly, wow that would suck growing up in an orphanage. "But Elle is practically my sister we have been family for years and we look out for one another" Freya said then she stared down Ethan and me, "And If anyone and I mean anyone hurts my sister there will be a price to pay".
"Well nice to know how about you four find seats and we will continue our lesson, since you guys started at the start of third term we are just starting Poetry so everything will be new for everyone" the Mrs Benjamin practically sang out "now I want everyone to write a poem by Friday about you, about something you've felt something you've done or achieved and how it made you feel, these poems will help me know how I need to push harder or who needs the most help for this section in English" Mrs Benjamin was already starting to hand out the task sheet to everybody. "Well Begin" she waved her hands in the air.
Ethan and I took a seat behind Elle and Freya near the back and put are stuff down and sat down. Shit I thought I suck at writing, what do I do? I looked at Freya and Elle, Freya just looked bored while Elle was actually writing something. Hmm I thought, what are you writing about?
Elle
In a war that surrounds me,
I tried so hard to fight back,
But it crashes like the sea.
So it keeps coming back,
Something I lack.
A thought, an idea, a spell,
Just something that defeats the other troops.
I want to give up and ring the bell,
But my life is in a loop.
Forevermore I am the fighter,
I have to stand tall.
But I am also a writer,
And I write I will never fall.
Elle
I wrote my heart out, I wrote everything I had in my heart at the moment. I guess I just wanted to let it out, but I also knew I wanted no one else to read this poem. It was just to personal for anyone else to read.
"Elle are you finished?" the teacher asked as she picked up my poem, CRAP! Mrs Benjamin must have seen me stop writing and assumed it was finished. I fidgeted with my fingers as she read my poem. "Well I must say you have quite the talent Miss Lupa and you wrote this all right now?" I nodded, "Fantastic! Do you write often?" I was nodded and started blushing. CRAP! One of the new boys was looking at me now, did I know him. Oh SHIT! He was one of the demigod boys from the Fight last night, the ones we chased, did he recognise me? Does he know who I am? SHIT! BUM! CRAP! SUGAR HONEY ICE TEA! I was screaming in my head.
Freya finally noticing my distress looked my way and mouthed 'what's wrong?' I eye pointed at the two guys and mouthed "demigods from last night" and she paled which is kinda hard to do since she is aboriginal and you know her being dark skinned paling is kind of hard to do, yet she achieved it excellently.
"Well, well, well aren't you girls familiar" a voice called out and we turned to face the guy umm Ethan I think from the fight last night called out to us, once the teacher stopped fawning after my work and had walked away. "Nope you guys aren't familiar at all" Freya retorted, "Hmm Freya isn't it? I seem to remember telling us that we should talk to a chic called Freya and that she would take us to a girl called Elle, who just happens to be the Ghost Assassins sister" he kind of whispered the last bit so other people wouldn't hear the conversation. Then Daniel started to talk "I think its to much of a coincidence for a Freya and a Elle in the same place at once and Elle seems to look nearly like the ghost assassin, you know with the black hair and pale skin and all and you look the same size as the Ghost Assassin and . . ." I cut him off, "Fine we look so alike is because she is my twin, are you happy now? She fights so we can have more money than what we get from me and Freya get from Busking!" I say which is kind of true. In my free time when I'm not in missions or training or in the ring fighting, Frey and I are in the streets busking. She will play the guitar or sing and I will sing or dance what ever is working that day.
"Oh umm" Ethan and Daniel gulped, Freya then spat out "Not all of us have the best childhood and we need the money. Some of us actually need to supply the money to have a roof over our heads and food on the table." Which is again kind of true for us, once you reach fifteen in the Clann you have to get a job to help pay for the Clann because they need more money to help pay for the expenses that come with supporting a large army of people.
Ethan tried to start to apologise "I umm, we meant . . ."
"It doesn't matter what you meant," Freya said somewhat coldly which was a vast change from her cheery attitude. "Just don't assume things about people because otherwise you might lose them." With that Freya went back to her poem and the two boys turned to look at me with both their mouths wide open, "You hang your mouths open like that a lot" I observed and then promptly closed there mouths for them.
RIIIIIINNNNNG!
There went the bell, I thought and collected my books for history. "Wait!" Daniel Exclaimed, "Do you umm do you" I got what he was asking, was I a demigod
"Yes, I am one so is Freya" I started walking away then turned and faced him "and yes we are fully aware about where your from" I walked and put my hand under the collar of his shirt on his neck and there it was the Camp half-blood necklace. He had eight beads, which meant he had been there for eight years. I then walked away while tossing out "Nice necklace".
