CHAPTER THREE

AURORA

I was right, I couldn't sleep a wink through out the night, every time I tried to close my eyes, I was haunted by the memory of those glowing eyes watching me, the thought of someone watching me wiped away any atom of sleep that could ever possibly exist in my body, and as a result I was heavily fatigued, you could tell from the heavy bags underneath my eyes, my eyelids were constantly drooping over my eyes and my wild hair was tangled and all over the place, showering did little to help, I still resembled a little freak,I could tell from the appalled looks on the faces of guardians and the smug look on Salem's face as I trudged downstairs begrudgingly for breakfast

"Hey freakazoid" she says in a seemingly innocent voice "what died on your face?"

My uncle instantly sputters his tea and demands that Salem apologizes to me, in which she murmured some incoherent words, but I waved both of them off while giving Salem a tight smile

"I have looked in the mirror this morning" I say passively "I know I look like a freak, I just couldn't get enough sleep last night"

"Well do you think it's okay to go to school looking like this" aunt said while fondled me lovingly "I mean, you could stay home"

Salem's lips thin and curl up as she casts me a look of pure disgust, and I lean in closer just to irk her more, however I decline on staying back from school, I knew that no matter how hard I tried I wouldn't be able to sleep, not with the fear of being watched, and I didn't want to give two boys the balls to think that I'd skip school to avoid them. So I wolfed down the remnants of my breakfast and joined uncle in the car as he drove me to another uneventful day.

I got to school with time to spare and it was the same usual boring dismal affair, most people ignoring my existence or casting me dirty looks and the rest of them giving me a wide berth, but I couldn't give a damn, I quickly scanned through until I noticed the familiar mop of brown and black hair weaving through the crowd, I stare for a while, until they stare back and almost immediately they avert their eyes, I am a little bit stung, I kinda enjoyed the attention, but they must have cliqued up with one of the hierachies in the school and must have gotten wind of one of the numerous made up stories about me, I sigh inwardly and strut towards my locker with effotless grace even though I am as tired as hell, I go through the contents lazily and just as I was about closing it, something caught my eye, a folded note had been tucked into corner of my locker, picking it up I scanned the contents, and it read

' We know who you are, and what you've done, you have messed with the gods and you shall be punished as we see fit'

I almost laughed out, another threat note, seriously could this school get anymore demeaning, I was way too tired to deal with this, squeezing the note, I toss it into the nearest thrashcan, and I began to head for my first class, when I was abruptly dragged into an empty classroom.

JARED

I put my hand over my mouth to keep her from screaming, I couldn't have the useless interference of the stupid mortals, this did not concern them in anyway,

"Admit it" I snarl using my godly tone "you tried to spell my brother yesterday into loving you, you witch"

I expect her to attack after unraveling her facade, so I brace for whatever force she wants to throw, instead she surprised me and begins to laugh, so much so that tears begin to brim from the corners of her eyes, and after satisfying herself, she straightens herself and glares us.

"I take it you were the ones who put the note in my locker, the so -called 'gods', what kind of frat did you join anyways, humor me did they make me an evil demon from the depths of hell this time and you are the ones supposed to slay me" she said and begins to laugh again

I begin to fume, my powers on the verge of rising, but Terrence places an arm on me, snd shakes his head slightly

"Do you know the penalty for lying to the gods" Terrence booms his godly voice surpassing mine " admit it and we shall tender mercy"

I expect her to quake, no one below the status of a good can resist a godly voice, but instead she just laughs harder and her cheeks become puffy and blotched from laughing so hard

"Well" she says in between deep breaths "you've done it, you've given me a headache, you dudes are hilarious though, join the circus, at least there they pay for sleazy acts like yours"

Like mine Terrence's mouth is agape, how was she doing it?, She showed no sign of forced resistance to out voices, something was horribly off now.

"Don't worry though" she said in a firmer voice "I get the drift, I'll leave you guys alone from now onwards, enjoy your cosplay" she says and storms off

Terrence and I are left behind, baffled at the conversation that just ensued, before I could pitch in a word though, I saw the confusion flit away from Terrence's face as he straightens himself up and says in a firm voice

" Call Dad Now"

I nod mutely, thinking of no other way to deal with this

QALOS

I listened as my two disobedient younglings narrated their ordeal through the stone messenger, the entire godly court and I were getting totally engrossed with each passing second, hanging onto every word, and once it was over, I couldn't warp my mind around it, there was no other explanation except that I could think of, either the story was far fetched or this puny human had somewhat attained godliness, I soon noticed the silence in the court, and realized that the court was waiting for my decision

"This has never happened before" I said "and I will take up the task of inspecting the situation, if there truly is a god gone rogue in the other really, I shall hunt him down personally"

I heard the entire court gasp at my decision and I sigh inwardly, there was going to be a hefty punishment for the boys if they had lied about this, I watch the stone messenger dissolve into a pile of rubble and a nagging thought brews in my head, but I shake it off, Zor was gone and he didn't have any known offspring, it couldn't be possible, and by chance that it was possible, I'd have to eliminate her.

UNKNOWN

"You have failed me" master rasps "you caused the direct involvement of the king and now I will punish you"

An ear splitting as the pain floods through me, this way, I am reminded that I can never fail him, that I should never fail him, I begin to whimper as the pain intensifies, not having anymore strength to scream and all of a sudden it retreats from me, leaving me whimpering on the floor

"You have failed in your plans,and now you will listen to mine" master says menacingly

I nod meekly and listens as he begins his plan

"You will not fail me in this" he says after he is done "this is your last chance, remember you are disposable, ohave given you an opportunity, prove yourself or die"

With that he retreats from my mind leaving me cowering in fear, I cannot and will not fail him again
