The Fallen

Ally's POV

Austin stopped the motorcycle in front of my driveway to the house. I took off the helmet and tossed it to him as I got off. "Thanks for the ride goodnight." I said as I walked up the driveway. I could hear footsteps behind and I turned on my heel. "Austin you can go home now."

"Now why would I do that?" he said with a playful smile.

"Because I said so now bye!" I snapped and he just smirked at me. Man I hated that smirk with a passion.

"It would be rude of my not to show my manners to the lovely lady now would it?" Austin said walking past me and to the porch steps of my house. Manners? What manners!? I pulled out my phone but it wouldn't turn on. I swear it was on full charge when I left the house. I could have sworn it. I shoved the phone in my back pocket and continued up the porch steps. I got out my keys and unlocked the door. I stepped inside, "Thanks for the ride Austin now goodnight." I said as I was closing the door but he put his foot in between.

"Aren't you going to invite the guest in? I'm kind of hungry and could for something good to eat."

"You're joking why would I ever let you in my house?" I said with annoyed tone. I don't get why he couldn't just simply get back on his death machine and leave without another word. He slipped inside shutting the door and locking it. "Want me to make something for you?" He asked making his way into the kitchen. Yeah sure just invite yourself into my kitchen that'll make things great between us! Not. He pulled out some taco shells, lettuce, tomato and sprinkled cheese along with some salsa. "What are you doing?"

"What does it look like? I'm making taco's." he said unwrapping the lettuce and pulling out a knife. He turned towards me and I took a step back as the sharp knife glistened in the light. "Whoa chill out Ally I'm not going to stab you." He said smirking. Ugh can he stop smirking!? "Oh um ok?" I said in a questioning tone. This was a bit weird...I've never been in a house alone with a boy ever. It really just wasn't my thing or on my mind at any point in time. "Want to help?" Austin asked me. I nodded and came over to the cutting board. I started to cut the lettuce but it was ending out all sloppy like. "Ugh I'm doing this wrong!" I complained in annoyance, cutting things in perfect size wasn't really my thing. "Here." Austin said as he came behind me. His hand gracefully laid on mine guiding it as I cut the lettuce in actual equal sizes. I could feel my body become hot as his body was pressed against my back. It made electricity run up and down my back.

He let go and smiled at me, "There that's much better." he said examining my work...or our work. "You helped Austin of course it's much better." I said. It was the truth. He came up closer to me and I was trapped between the counter and his body. For some strange reason I wanted to stay stuck like this forever. "I know how I can make things much better." he said with seductive smile playing at his lips. He came in closer and kissed my lips softly. His lips were soft like a cloud and I couldn't help but want to kiss them back. He grabbed my waist lifting me onto the counter not breaking our lips in anyway. I couldn't help but wrap my arms around his neck and deepen the kiss. I could feel his lips turn into a small smirk against my own lips. I wrapped my legs around his waist his fingers played with the hem of my shirt. This felt so wrong but so right at the same time... suddenly I realized I needed to breathe. I broke my lips away from his as he laid his forehead against mine breathing heavily.

I was in a paralyzed shock as his eyes switched colors. For one minute it was hazel then golden then a lilac color. He pulled back away as my legs unwrapped around his waist. We looked at each other for a minute before his eyes went back to normal. Inside I was screaming what the heck did you just do why did his eyes change color!? But on the outside I was calm acting as if nothing happened when something did happen. It was like 10 minutes in pure Heaven.

After we went back to normal he finished making the taco's. We ate them making a bit of small talk about school and grades but it was nothing big. It was obvious that we didn't want to talk about our little steamy kiss we had. After we had finished our dinner I walked him to the door.

"Thanks for the dinner." I said shyly. I could feel my cheeks start to blush

"No problem see you Monday." he turned on his heels and walked over to his motorcycle.

I closed the door making sure I heard his engine roar up and disappear into the night. I slid down the door and screamed. I didn't know what happened back there. He just kissed me and I liked it for some reason trust me I was prepared to be utterly disgusted but...I didn't find it to be that way. Suddenly my phone began to ring. "Hello?"

"Ally! Oh thank God you're alive! We've been looking for you through the whole entire parking lot!" Joyel yelled through the phone.

"Well I thought you guys said you would stay at the hockey table!" I argued back. "We waited an hour and a half for you to come back don't tell me we had to wait for you to come back!" she yelled back.

I sighed, "Ok I'm sorry Joy, Austin kind of took me on Minerva..." I said quietly. She was quiet for a while and I knew she was just freaking out in her mind.

"Oh my god!" She screamed. "Joyel! Calm down!" I said. I could hear her panting, like she was unable to breathe. "Spill the details at Sound wave tomorrow morning!" she said with a squeal. I laughed at her craziness. "Ok then."

"Wait a minute!" she said and I knew she was onto something. "You sound flustered...bothered... he kissed you didn't he!?" she exclaimed...man she was good. "Well-"

"Don't ruin it! Tell me at the coffee shop tomorrow be there by 12!" she said and with that the line went dead. I sat back against the door and squealed. Yeah I was a bit psych about this too. I mean it was my first kiss...ever. I felt a smile creep to my lips as I got up and walked up the stairs. I closed the door behind me locking and got changed into my pajama's.

I quickly brushed my teeth and climbed into bed. As my eyelids got heavier and heavier I could see a dark shadow walk across the backyard. It was probably the shadow of the tree, but it moved. I sat up in my bed looking around the room for any signs of anything out of the ordinary. I went back to sleep when I found nothing and closed my eyes as snuggled up into the soft covers.

I woke up to the sound of my alarm. It was only 10:36 in the morning and I did not want to move out of my comfortable bed. I think I got the most comfortable sleep ever last night. I hopped out of bed and walked into the bathroom. I took a quick shower and dried off in under 10 minutes, I walked back into my room and pulled on some black skinny jeans along with a gray sweatshirt with the word "princess" on it. It was my usual attire. I brushed my hair making it just straight out flat. I really wasn't in the mood to curl it. I pulled my bangs behind my ear and brushed my teeth quickly. I slipped into some black ballet shoes and walked out of the room locking it.

I ran out of the house grabbing my wallet along with my cell phone. I locked the door and ran down the porch steps. I walked down the sidewalk trying to clear my mind of the images of last night. But I just knew I couldn't I had felt something that night and it wasn't just lust. I saw Sound wave right in my view and crossed the street. I opened the door and the fresh smell of coffee and doughnuts filled the air. This was a place I could stay in forever. I looked over to my right to see Joyel staring out the window. "Hey Joy!" I said as I sat down in the empty seat across from her. She didn't acknowledge me, just stared out the window. "Joyel!" I yelled and her head snapped over to me.

"Sorry I was just thinking." She said as he face filled with worry.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"Elliot that's whats wrong."

"Elliot wasn't he with you guys the rest of the night I didn't see him, it's like he left." I said as a waitress came over and gave us a nice warm cup of hot chocolate.

"No remember when he went to the bathroom? Yeah I never saw him after that and I wanted to hang out with him so badly I thought he liked me maybe he doesn't like me..." She said sadly as she sipped on her hot cocoa.

"Aw, Joyel I really think he likes you maybe he had to go somewhere." I said putting a hand on her shoulder. Suddenly she smiled and her face lit up like a light bulb. "Oh my god! What happened between you and Austin last night I almost forgot!" she yelled and I held my finger to my lip for her to quiet down. We were in a coffee shop after all. "Oh it was nothing he just kissed me that's all..."

"That's all!? Wow Ally someone is in denial that she liked it after all." Joyel said laughing a little.

"I am NOT in denial Joy I just was expecting it to be different that's all."

"What do you mean different? You kissed the hottest boy at our school no offense but he is hot so hot that he has name right next to the word in the dictionary." I laughed at her comment. This is why I loved Joyel so much. She could make any little thing a joke...well it wasn't a small thing though.

"Joy I know he is kind of hot."

"Kind of?" she said in a sarcastic tone.

"Ok fine he's freaking hot...better?" I snapped.

"Much better." she said evilly. I couldn't help but laugh as I sipped on my hot cocoa. "So did you enjoy was he a good kisser? On a scale of 1-100 how good was he?" She ranted.

"Joy!" I snapped once again. "Sorry Ally but I gots to know the details! This absolutely crucial!" she said and I just rolled my eyes. I looked out the window and saw a guy in black jacket. His hoodie was covering all his features but I could tell the person was looking right at me. I couldn't help but feel a bit paranoid...maybe it's just a guy waiting for his ride. I looked back outside and the person in the black jacket was gone. Just when I was thinking I wasn't crazy something just has to pop up doesn't it? "Ally." I looked back over to Joy, she was giving me a confused look. "You ok?" she asked with a concerned look. "Yeah I'm fine..." I said as I sipped on my hot chocolate...but to be honest I was nowhere near ok.

Austin's POV

"You lose pay up." I said to a man with a red beard and tattoo's all over his arm. He groaned and slapped the cash right on my hand. "Nice doing business." I said as I put down the pool stick. "Oh and don't think about trying to get it back anytime." I said with a smirk as I walked out of the room. I was doing some usual gambling at "Joey's Jungle" which was my usual hang out. It's where I got enough money to buy anything, other than that I had my job at "Lucky's" so I come here a lot more. Suddenly someone grabbed the collar of my shirt and pulled me into a room.

"Asclepius." I smirked at the sound of his voice. "Daniel, Boreas.." I said sitting down in a chair and getting myself comfortable.

"Well...?" Boreas questioned.

"Well what?" I snapped. "Look I know why you guys are here and I know what you want but you're going to have to be patient." Daniel gave me a look that told me not go through with this. I gave him a glare, "Ares don't give me that look." I said with anger.

"I don't go by Ares anymore Asclepius!"

"Why not!? Is it because your crappy father banished you from Mount Olympus!?" I snapped. That's what broke his anger. He slammed me against the door making a loud thud. I chuckled, "Just because your fathers' Hercules doesn't mean you're stronger than me." I said as anger itself built inside of me. Daniel (A.k.a. Ares) is my best friend but has a short temper and whenever I bring this junk up he has to go all "gods" on me.

"Whatever. I don't know why you're doing this... Boreas is evil Austin do you even know what he tried to do to your dad!?" he whispered in my ear.

"I need to become human or better I can go back home Daniel...you don't understand."

"Damn it Asclepius of course I know the freaking consequences I was banished before you!" Daniel said as Boreas was in the corner of the room examining the room. "If you don't finish your deed to him he'll rip you apart. What in Hades will you do then? Beg for forgiveness?" he whined at me.

"Don't lecture me on what's right or wrong. If you were the one doing that you would be in Mount Olympus." I knew that was mean but I didn't care. He's been bothering me about the whole killing Ally thing is unnecessary. "You are making a mistake Asclepius, maybe I do hang out with his posse of the Fallen' but I would never do a favor for someone as powerful as him! He's immortal Austin you are a god a fallen god!" He yelled, his face becoming red with pure anger.

He was getting too worked up about this. "Look Daniel I am done with you telling me what to do I am done. You are either with me or against me." I said and Daniel eyes went wide.

"You can't make me choose. That is not fair."

"Don't tell me what's fair and not fair Daniel it's your choice. You can either side with me and Boreas or you can leave." I said. I regretted every word. Daniel has been my best friend since we were little kids growing up but it was time to face a big decision.

He looked at me and inhaled deeply before walking out of the room. "Oh and Austin I know you kissed Ally." he said before dashing out of the room. Boreas looked at me intensely and I gulped. Damn it Daniel always got to be a little snitch. "You kissed her?" Boreas said gritting his teeth. I had to come up with a lie and quick...

"No you got it all wrong Boreas I kissed her and erased her mind because she saw me using my magic that's all." I said. I could feel my palms get sweaty from the heat in the room or was it just the tension? "Are you lying to me."

"Of course not Boreas there is absolutely no reason for me to lie to you." I said in a panicked state. He looked me in the eyes and I stood my ground trying not to force myself not to run out of the room. "Well Austin when are you going to kill the girl I've been waiting patiently you know."

"I know you have but I just can't seem to get her to myself." I said reasoning with him.

"Ok I understand but you need to get her to me on the night of Titan's curse got it." he said as he opened the door with a wave of his hand. I nodded in agreement and walked out of the room. I ran my fingers through my gold locks and walked out of the bar. This was going to be harder than I thought.
