Drama is afoot in this chapter mwhahaha *coughing fit* Enjoy!

Chapter 12

She snuggles into her blanket then stiffens as a hand runs absent-mindedly through her hair. "Why did you have your phone on?" Josè asks sleepiness ringing through his voice. My phone? I don't even have a phone? Oh... I get it now... "I was checking the time, sorry if I woke you."
"Why were you up? I heard a man's voice."
"That could of been downstairs."
"You called the voice brother, but you and Eg don't have a brother?" Josè's question made Titania roll over to face him. Her nose was centimetres from his, "I will explain another time. Not now."
"But..." Titania puts a finger on his lips to make him stop talking. "Trust me on this." She says before rolling over again to face the curtain.

The Reed calling tone from the Tv woke everyone up at eight. The profile on the screen said Jenny and Eg groaned "answer."
"Morning Eg!" Jennifer's voice was cheerful. "Why are you so cheerful?" Eg says rubbing her eye to get sleepy dust out of it. "Well the sun is out yet again, why wouldn't I? What's wrong with you grumpy?" Jennifer asks, too much innocence showing in her voice. "You just woke me, what do you expect?"
"You were in the lounge?"
"I was out last night."
"Really? You didn't drag yourself to your bed then?"
"Well no... I didn't."
"Oh... What did you do last night then?"
"Like Eg said, she went out and left me with my friends most of the night." Titania says bitterly.

"Who the hell are you?" Jennifer says with more anger than she meant to.
"Eg's sister." This makes Josè give Titania a funny look but she ignores it. "Oh I'm sorry, I didn't mean to sound so bitter."
"Don't be sorry, I had a good night talking with friends."
"Stop interrupting my conversation."
"Well I wasn't the one who ignored her sister all night was I?" Kassia sits there shaking her head at the lie the two girls were spinning so easily. But what if they aren't sisters? Why did they lie about that in public, now they have to keep up that bravado. How can they do they so effortlessly? By the looks of it, Titania hasn't been in town long... Jennifer sighs openly. "Guys, I got to do something, so I'll call later okay? I'll talk to you then Eg, and keep your sister away from the Tv." Jennifer stopped the call. She could barely tell the difference between the two girl's voices, but they were guaranteed to look slightly different.

Naufal looked at the text Jennifer sent him I'm talking to Eg later, her kid sister got involved in the conversation. Eg apparently left her on her own most of the night with her friends. I'll text you as soon as I know xoxox He smiled, the ball was rolling already. Grabbing his keys, sunglasses and towel, he walks out the door and to Leo's house where a car was waiting. Leo was sat in the drivers seat, locking lips with Lucy who was sat on his lap. Naufal hit the top of the car with his hand before getting in "dude. Another time, another place please... Next time get a room." He says playfully.
"You're just jealous bro, as you haven't got Jenny yet."
"Oh yeah, yeah, shut up and drive." Lucy sat in the front passenger seat and Leo drove down to the car park beside the beach. Naufal spotted David stood by their usual spot chatting to Isaac and Chrissy, so he headed over but stopped when he heard what was being said. "How will you get away with Josè's disappearance?" Isaac comments. David shrugs, "I can pull certain strings so it isn't discovered quickly." Naufal turns and walks to Leo and Lucy by the wall.

Leo gave him a funny look "why didn't you stay over there?" Naufal glances at the trio talking then back at Leo and Lucy. "We have to find Susma, come on."
"Dude I'm staying at the beach."
"Why do you need to find Susma?" Lucy asks.
"They're plotting to make Josè disappear." Naufal says quietly so no-one around them could hear. Leo's jaw drops as he stares at the trio, while Lucy starts dragging him towards the town centre. "Susma would be at the restaurant, but I don't know where Josè is right now." Naufal says to the pair as they walk past the fountain in the main square. "Text him. Simple." Lucy says in reply as Naufal gets his phone out of his pocket. "What if he panics?" Leo asks Lucy as Josè can panic easily after Chrissy broke his heart. Lucy shrugs before opening the door to the restaurant, the group walk in and Naufal spots Rayhan "where's Susma?"
"Out the back. What's the rush?"
"I need to speak to him about something."
"About?"
"I'll tell you soon, I promise." Naufal walks out to the back of the restaurant and Rayhan turns his attention to Leo and Lucy.

Susma turns around as he hears footsteps approaching from the restaurant "I'll be in after a couple of minutes, you don't need to check on..." He turns around and sees Naufal, "oh it's you. What's up?"
"I need you to talk David out of something."
"No can do I'm afraid. He's gone cold and won't speak to me, all because of that girl yesterday had Josè's arm wrapped around her shoulder."
"Yeah that's the thing... He wants Josè to disappear."
"Gone as in a way from the girl or disappear like this?" Susma draws a line across his throat with a finger. "I don't know, he was talking to Chrissy and Isaac about it."
"I can understand Chrissy, but Isaac? What does he have against Josè?"
"Well he is on a different path, maybe he has a crush on Josè?"
"And wants to get Titania out the window... But what are they going to do?"
"That's where you come in..."

"Why are you two here on your day off?" Rayhan asks.
"Naufal came with us to the beach but walked ahead because he saw David. He stopped, turned round and walked back to us, pale as a sheet, even with that tan of his." Leo explains.
"So why does he need to talk to S?"
"David wants Josè gone." Lucy mutters. Rayhan looks between the pair stood in front of him digesting what they just said. "So David's gone overboard?" He says slowly. Naufal approaches behind Rayhan "pretty much..." Rayhan shakes his head. He looks around the group surrounding him "there's nothing we can do. Only stop David getting to Josè."
"Chrissy and Isaac are in on it too." Naufal replies
"Isaac? Chrissy I understand, but Isaac?"
"I said the same thing." Comments Susma as he joins the four. The five look at each other, what could they do to stop Chrissy, David and Isaac?

Doros, Eg, Elene, Josè, Kassia, Kip, Rick and Titania walk into the restaurant. Josè spots his other friends talking so he joins them. "Hey, how are you guys today?" He asks and the five look at him in silence. "What? Is there something on my face?" Josè says self-conciously. "No, there's nothing on your face. I'm good, I don't know about the others." Lucy says as she was the quickest to recover. Josè raises an eyebrow as the others start muttering they're okay etc. Rayhan wanders off to deal with more customers. Eg's group sit down at the largest table and Titania joins Josè with Leo, Lucy, Naufal and Susma "why is it so quiet between a group of friends?" Titania asks. Lucy looks at Naufal which cause both Josè and Titania to look at him as well. "Um there's something you should know Josè, but we're trying to sort it out." Naufal stutters at the start but manages to sort his words out. "What do you mean you're trying to sort it out? It can't be that bad..."
"It is." Susma says bluntly so the rest of the group stare at him.

Leo lowers his voice "David is jealous about you and this little lady here."
"There's nothing going on. I don't even like David so why is he bothering?" Titania says. The group apart, from Josè, shrug out of confusion. Josè didn't want to say anything about his feelings in front of his friends but nearly screamed in surprise when Titania's voice filled his head even though her mouth wasn't moving. 'Don't panic, I know I said there's nothing between us. But no-one has made feel me like this... Around you I feel wanted, I feel loved. So let it be our secret, no-one has to know yet.' Josè smiles inwardly. "What does David want to do?" He asks, he needs to know what to expect, doesn't he? "He wants you to disappear. We don't know how." Naufal says quietly like he didn't want to say it. Josè and Titania look at Naufal in shock. "I'm just gonna have my usual to eat." Josè comments.

"I'm sure Goddess Titania will help you, she wouldn't let anyone disappear under her watch in the day."
"Do you think Nyx wouldn't allow it either?" Josè bites back.
"Nyx of the night, I don't know."
"So stop with your mythology and saying everything will be alright because of those Gods and Goddesses." Doros, Eg and Elene look at each other, they had to do something, Titania was dropped in the deep end of the ocean. Now, there wasn't a life boat to save her, but they were going to try. Titania placed her hand on Josè's arm, instantly calming him, spreading a small warmth through his body. He turned away from Leo, Lucy, Naufal and Susma to sit at the table with the others. "I'll talk to him later." Titania says before joining him at the table. "Of course you will..." Mutters Naufal. Susma takes the group's order with his bubbly attitude non-existant, he glances sadly at Josè before walking away.

 

I'm now shortening the updates I'm posting, so it will now be parts of chapters, not whole chapters the plot isn't changing, I'm just going to be leaving more cliffhangers

Chapter 13 part one

'How is he coping with that news?'
'You were listening? Why did you bother? You saw how he reacted.'
'It was my fault, I wanted to know.'
'I was going to tell you.'
'Oh when Josè had disappeared?'
'No I was going to say tonight or when they aren't around.' Kassia looks at the girls confused, she could hear them talking but their mouths weren't moving. Doros glances at the three girls because he saw Kassia's look. Eg is resting her head on Kip's shoulder while they were chatting quietly. Elene was fiddling with her shimmering blonde white hair and Titania was trying to talk to Josè about what happened.

Doros felt sorry for those two then. It seemed like the odds were stacked against them, Josè has a death threat over his head and Titania has to keep the Gods, Goddesses and the humans alive but the humans unaware of who they are. Plus at this moment of time; Josè hated the Gods and Goddesses so Doros didn't know how Titania would get round that hurdle. 'I don't need your sympathy, I need your help, but not at this moment in time.'
'I can't help it. I'm the God of strength, I'm going to know when someone is feeling weak.'
'I know I feel hopeless right now... I don't need you to remind me...'
'Sorry Ti, I'm just getting used to being myself again. Don't forget, we've got the doctor-patient confidentiality.'
'Welcome back old friend.'

"I must be going crazy." Kassia mutters looking out the window, Rick glances at her concerned. He reaches for her hand and runs his thumb across the knuckles of her left hand, hoping to comfort her. Kassia looked at his hand then at Rick, "what's wrong?" He asks, his voice quiet but full of concern. "You will think I'm crazy..." She replies looking back to her right to the window instead of Rick on her left. "No I won't."
"Trust me you will." Kassia just watches the organised chaos walk past the restaurant, a few people walking in from that mass. Rick gives up on trying to talk to her so he crowd watches for a while, until he spots a girl with ebony hair that makes his heart skip a beat. Nyx walked into the restaurant aware of the jealous and wanting looks she was getting from women and men respectively. Leo almost lingered his eyes on her figure before Lucy kissed him on the cheek, reminding him he already had something sweet.

Susma glanced between three tables, one was where Nyx had just sat, another where Leo, Lucy and Naufal are sat, and the final one where Elene was with her friends. The group's order was ready so he asked another waitress to help him. Between them they carry the eight plates to the table and set them in front of the right people. Josè eats in silence, blanking out the others talking to him. Elene looks pitifully at Titania trying to convince Josè to open up instead of moping.

She had no success so they started talking to each other mentally 'he won't do anything.'
'His attitude to us needs to change first...'
'You trying being told a friend wants you to disappear.'
'Talk to your brother then!'
'El, come on, I didn't know how he got you guys to come here. I didn't ask for him to send anyone.'
'You were taking ages, he had no choice.'
'I'm here in one piece, does he even know how tough it was to stay out of the way of publicity? I had to move every three years. Plus I went all through mainland Asia, Russia, Africa, mainland Europe and then to the UK, I only got to Paradise Town three days ago. I had been a couple of towns over before, that's where I was looking after Eg and Declan.'
'Declan?'
'I had to place him in an accident to get him away from Elissa. They were starting to change. I couldn't let them change too early, especially as I could sense a shadow heir, but I couldn't pinpoint its location. It was the only way to keep them both safe.'
'How was the Devil convinced Declan was dead?'
'It wasn't the Devil who told Elissa. It was me, she changed her own memories. When I told her, she started punching me, hitting me saying it wasn't true. Then she sat with the flower crown they had done two days before in her hands and cried. I had to leave before the Devil became suspicious, I didn't know who he was then, but I figured it out.'

 

If anyone is confused about who Declan is;

It's Dimitris before he got put on a witness protection program. He was known as Declan until he was seven, then got put on the program because of the accident Titania put him in. Eg thought he was dead Titania told her, so his name got changed to Dimitris then he finds out he's the god Doros at 20/21 XD

 

Awww thank you XD

 

Sorry it's taken so long, but here's the nect part of chapter 13. Sorry if it makes you cry while reading it, it's meant to be a bit emotional

Chapter 13 part two

Nyx sighed and glanced at Titania's group. They were still eating, but all she could focus on was Kip and Rick. She wanted either of them, they were what she needed to get to Titania; she was sure one of them was close to her. But she saw Eg leaning on or talking to Kip from time to time, and in return he would give her a kiss on the forehead or the cheek. Jealousy kicked in again, Nyx knew it would be hard to get Kip; but it was worth a shot, wasn't it? Rick, however, looked like an easier target for Nyx his jaw practically dropped when she walked in. What was better was the girl on his right, didn't bat an eyelid about it...

Naufal ran his hand through his hair again after he sent a text to Jennifer We can't continue with the plan... Chrissy, David and Isaac want Josè to disappear, so I'm trying to sort that out xoxox Jennifer sat up on her sun lounger stunned when she read that text. When she brought herself together again she sent back Okay, talk to you later about it xoxox Jennifer sat there shocked. David wanted to get rid of Josè, what for? Josè is a great guy, a joker, kind, and always laughing. Unless David was jealous. Actually that wouldn't surprise me... He can get extremely jealous over the tiniest things; so what has Josè done? She thought to herself.

It's always me, isn't it? Titan can't you give me a break? Why does things always happen to me? Why do people want me to disappear? Why did Chrissy have to rip my heart out of my chest and jump on it with me stood there watching helplessly? Why is it always me? Can't you just stop all this pain you are giving me? Or do I have to do that myself? I could go back to my grandparents in Spain, they won't mind watching over me. Or I can just end this pain all together. Just stop living, stop breathing. Just try and help me please. I haven't got a light at the end of my tunnel... I just want this pain to stop, one way or another. I know I said I don't believe you would help me five minutes ago. But if you felt what I'm feeling. But if you felt the pain, you would stop it instantly. But if you felt the love I have for a girl I have just met, you would do anything to protect her. But if you felt the hate I'm getting, you would be confused when all you have ever done was be kind. You would know how I'm feeling... When Josè started thinking this, it started raining lightly, a few drops here and then. But by the time Josè had finished, it had turned into a downpour.

Titan felt slight tears forming in his eyes when Josè started talking to him. He heard the sorrow in Josè's voice, then the pain. It reminded Titan of the suffering of his sister and then himself. Then the tears couldn't stop falling. He couldn't stop them as he realised how selfish he had been, ignoring the people of Earth for so long, just sending his friends down to find his sister to bring her home. He didn't think of how hard it would be for her to hide. But now she had found the Devil and he should of let her do it at her own way. Now someone had fallen for her. Well it wasn't someone, he was part of the prophecy group. Josè, Kip and Rick in particular was part of another species altogether...

Titania watched the rain run down the window, who on Earth had the power to make Titan cry like that. Naufal saw the rain and it reminded him of tears of sorrow, the ones that fall when someone feels pain, or when someone explains their pain. He then looked at Josè, it felt like the tears Naufal would be letting fall if they let David win. Leo and Lucy felt the pain too, the pain hidden in the silence apart from the drops hitting the window. Doros Eg Elene and Titania looked at each other, knowing it couldn't be good if Titan was crying like that.

 

Here's the last part ~ you won't need tissues XD

Chapter 13 part three

He brought his shaking hands to his face. Wiping the tears from his eyes Titan stood up from the floor. The area he was crouched in was now damp with tears. He had to find a way to make this right. He had to keep Josè alive, not just to stop his own guilt, but for the survival of the human race. More and more people were disappearing off the streets all over the world. Only the prophecy group could make sure that doesn't happen, and all nine had to be alive.

Titan looked at his wall; on there was a board full of names and lights. There was two lights by each name: one said if they were alive on the left of the name, and the other said if Titania had discovered them on the right. All the lights on the left of the names were on, only the prophecy group had been discovered yet, so only eight of the light on the right were on. She still has to find over half our friends… But she has to use these eight as a starting point. He thoughtto himself.

Kassia had just started taking a liking to the rain when it stopped and gradually brightened up. It felt like it washed all her problems away, her fears and her worries were no longer in her mind. Almost like she's healed. Doros glanced at Titania sending her a mental message. 'She got suspicious earlier so I watched her thoughts. She's wiped her fears and worries to the back of her mind...'
'She's starting to change, we need to get out of here.' Doros glanced at everyone's plates. They were empty so he whispered in Elene's ear "we need to pay the bill and go." She nods in reply. Looking around the room, she saw all the staff were busy.
