consequences

Update: I thought I'd be able to post the chapters I had ready, but then the power went out. It's been weeks now, and I've been relying on mobile data. I wanted to use my PC, but there was no power. I thought I could use my laptop, but the limited power I had on my phone stopped me.

But here I am. I'm so, so sorry for the wait. I'll be coming to the library sometimes to post when I can. There's just too much going on right now. Thanks for understanding.

everything was saved on pc so I'm writing what i remember n i can only be in this place for 30mins that what i paid for on their pc.

Without further delay, Jaxon made his way toward the entrance of the school, drawing curious gazes as he suddenly halted mid-stride. Students exchanged glances, murmuring among themselves, but he paid them no mind. Striding toward the car, he slid into the driver's seat. With a deep roar of the engine, the vehicle shot forward at full speed.

Inside the school, students near the windows watched with mixed reactions—some intrigued, others confused, and a few even slightly concerned. Jaxon, however, was focused. His fingers tightened around the wheel as he grabbed his phone and dialed Leah's number.

Seconds passed before she picked up. "Heyy—"

"I'm sorry, Leah," Jaxon interrupted, his tone sharp and urgent. "Are you alone right now?"

Leah, caught off guard, paused before looking around. Stepping quickly into their bedroom, she shut the door behind her. "No one's around. You can talk."

Jaxon exhaled before cutting straight to the point. "My actions months ago… they caused problems. You were right. I was too hasty. And now—" He hesitated, forcing the words out. "We've got the eyes of some beings on us." His voice was heavy with guilt.

There was a beat of silence before Leah finally snapped.

"Jaxon!" Her voice was laced with frustration, but she quickly caught herself, inhaling deeply before speaking again. "Okay. Who is it?"

"The Greeks."

Leah blinked. "The Greeks…?"

Jaxon could almost see her expression through the phone—eyebrows furrowed, lips pressed in frustration.

"That doesn't really tell me much, Mr. I'm-In-Trouble-And-Vague-About-It. If you can't tell, I'm not all-knowing," she said, irritation creeping into her voice.

Jaxon exhaled sharply, realizing his mistake. Leah's knowledge of deities was limited to the gods her family worshiped. He needed to be clearer.

"The Greek Gods," he clarified.

Leah went silent on the other end. Jaxon could hear the faint rustling of fabric, like she had just sat down heavily on the bed. Then, finally—

"…You mean Zeus and them? The ones you read about?" Her tone was a mix of disbelief and exasperation.

Jaxon rubbed his temple, keeping his eyes on the road. "Yeah."

Leah let out a sharp exhale. "Jaxon, what did you do?"

"It's not like I went knocking on Mount Olympus' door," he muttered. "They noticed my power. One of them showed up—Hermes."

"…Hermes. The messenger god?"

"The same one."

Leah clicked her tongue. "And let me guess. You didn't exactly calmly introduce yourself, did you?"

Jaxon hesitated. "I… might've told him this world was mine."

A deep, frustrated groan came through the speaker. "Jaxon!"

"In my defense, he was acting smug."

"Of course he was! That's what trickster gods do!"

Jaxon sighed. "Look, Leah, I know this is bad. But I need you to listen. Hermes said Zeus felt my energy. He sent him to check things out. They're watching us now."

That sobered her quickly. "Do you think they'll act on it?"

Jaxon gripped the steering wheel tighter, his jaw clenching. "I don't know. But I don't like waiting to find out."

Silence hung between them for a moment before he spoke again, this time more resolved. "Leah, I'm sorry, but I'll have to finally make you a new Leah."

Hearing this, a rush of emotions hit her all at once—excitement, nervousness, anticipation. She tried to play it cool, but her voice betrayed her. "I'm ready," she said, unable to hide the excitement in her tone.

Jaxon chuckled slightly. "When I'm home, we'll begin. For now, I'll blind them."

Leah grinned, sending playful kisses through the phone before hanging up.

Still caught up in the excitement, she rolled around on the bed, giddy with anticipation. It wasn't until she stopped, eyes fluttering open, that she realized something—Jaxon hadn't kissed back.

Her mood shifted instantly. Sitting up in frustration, she grabbed the phone, only to confirm her suspicion. The call had already ended.

Meanwhile, Jaxon focused his energy, stabilizing his dominion over Forks. A powerful, invisible force rippled outward, locking down the entire town. No deity—spying or otherwise—would be able to watch, hear, or step foot in his territory without his explicit permission.

A/n:(He hadn't known about other deities before they noticed him. That's why they were able to find him in the first place.)

With that done, he pressed the gas pedal just a bit harder, his car slicing through the road like lightning as he made his way home.

A few miles in, Jaxon spotted a store and made a sharp turn, tires screeching slightly as he braked hard. Without hesitation, he got out and strode inside, the cool air of the shop hitting him as he stepped through the doors.

He gave a brief nod in greeting before quickly scanning the aisles. Chocolate, heat pads, energy drinks… He grabbed everything he thought she might need, along with a few extra supplies—just in case. This was his first time doing this, and he refused to be unprepared.

Once he had everything, he made his way to the cashier, paid swiftly, and jogged back to the car. Opening the passenger door, he placed the bag carefully inside before slipping into the driver's seat.

Gripping the wheel, he took off, the engine roaring as he sped toward home.

Reaching the mansion, Jaxon parked the car and turned off the engine. Grabbing the bags, he walked toward the front door, his steps steady but his mind still racing with everything that had happened today.

As he stepped into the kitchen, he spotted Sue cooking lunch. A small smile tugged at his lips. "Hey, Mom. How do you like the place?" he asked while setting the bags on the counter and beginning to pack the drinks and chocolate into the fridge.

Sue glanced back at him, a warm smile on her face. "I thought you were supposed to be at school?" she asked before answering his question. "But yes, I love it. It's beautiful."

Sue chuckled. "I hope you have rooms to spare because I'd like to stay here sometimes."

Jaxon laughed. "There are so many rooms, a ghost probably lives here, and I bet the ghost gets more peace than I do."

Sue smiled, thinking he was talking about Leah, before turning back to the stove. "So… why are you home so early?"

Jaxon's smile faded slightly. "Something important came up."

Sue noticed the shift in his demeanor. Turning back to her cooking, she gave him a reassuring smile. "Ah, well, I'm sure you'll sort it out."

Jaxon nodded. "Yeah."

With that, he made his way to his room.
