Here's the next chapter ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Chapter 8 'What did I say?' Titania sends to Elene mockingly. Elene glared at Titania in response, causing Eg to smile. The brown haired girl seemed too much like Klytie as she neared them. Her deep brown eyes added to the suspicion when Elene and Titania say the light brown flecks in them. Titania moved into her path slightly just to see what would happen to her right shoulder. Elene dragged her away slightly when she saw what she done 'not now, wait until we see her again.' Titania sighed then the girl walked past the pair of them. But she stopped when she saw Eg. Taking a quick glance at Dimitris she spoke to Eg "you're the mayor's niece aren't you?" Eg nods in reply. "And that girl there is my younger sister." Eg says meaning Titania. After raising an eyebrow, Titania catches on and openly sighs. "Far from it." She mutters. "Ti you don't speak about me like that." "Well you've always had the attention from uncle." "Yeah and?" "Guys please don't have a domestic because of me." The girl says calmly. Titania turns away from Eg again and smiles, the bluff had worked. Kip squeezes Eg's hand "don't be tough on your sister. You know what she has been through." "Yeah Hell from living with you..." Titania mutters bitterly. "You can't say that," Eg protests, "Kip tell her she can't say that." "Why should I tell her? You're her sister." "Since when has she listened to me?" "All the time but you take it as I don't, only because I was out until just past twelve you ground me. But it's fine when you stay out until eight in the morning as you've been round his house." Titania says turning around. Dimitris walks around the little argument and stands by Elene "what are they doing?" He whispers. "Acting." She replies in the same manner. "Why?" "They're trying to see who she is." "How could they do that by fake..." Elene put her finger on his lips to stop him talking and went back to watching the group. "How many times have I spent all night at his?" "Well you have been at mine a lot." Kip mutters. "See, even your own boyfriend is taking my side." Titania says, keeping an angry face brilliantly. "I'm not taking your side..." "You are taking her side." Eg interrupts Kip. He shakes his head and is about to speak when the girl steps in between Eg and Titania. "Should you two really be at each others throats for this?" "You don't know what it's like living with her." Eg and Titania say at the same time. Nyx happened to be walking past at the time. Kip had long let go of Eg's hand as she was squaring off with Titania, so Nyx had a hard time trying to figure out who he was with. "This isn't a cat fight in the middle of the street is it?" She asks Elene. Glancing at the group, Elene replies "well yes and no. There's friction at home with those two because of the amount of time Eg spends with her boyfriend compared to her sister." That comment hit Nyx hard. She glanced at Elene and Dimitris, "is this your boyfriend?" She asks, causing both Dimitris and Elene to laugh slightly. "No, just friends." Dimitris replied. "Oh." Nyx just commented, looking back to the small group. Her hopes of getting Kip almost crushed. "Right just hear me out, you need to spend more time at home with your sister." The girl says looking at Eg, causing Titania to poke her tongue out at Eg. "You, need to stop hating her." The girl continues looking at Titania. Crossing her arms, Titania looked away like she was sulking. "See you try and apologise, she sulks." Eg says pointing to Titania. Kip shakes his head again and speaks to the girl, "thanks for the help, we all need to go to a meeting now." The girl shrugs. "I'm sorry for starting this." "Oh don't worry it's not you, it's her." Titania says about Eg and walks past Dimitris, Elene and Nyx, dragging Elene with her. Nyx glanced up at Dimitris, "so does that mean you're available if you two are just friends." He shrugs in reply. "I guess." "What about we meet up sometime? Get some dinner or something?" "I thought you liked Kip." Dimitris said before he could stop himself. Nyx's eyes ice over then return to normal "um how do you know?" She asks quietly as Kip and a furious looking Eg walked past them. "I guessed from your body language. Besides you're not playing with me or any of my friends." Dimitris says before walking away from Nyx and the other girl. "That was nice of you to try and help them." Nyx says to the girl. "It was my fault it started, it was the least I could do." The girl shrugs. Nyx thinks for a minute, "can you sing?" "Yeah, of course." "Did you want to join me and we could take part in the carnival on one of the floats." "Sure, what's your name?" "Nyxina, yours?" "Kassia, but most people call me Kass." "Call me on this number." Nyx says handing Kassia a card before walking off. Kassia looked at the card, then at Nyx's retreating figure and shrugs, what else could she do? She puts the card in her pocket and walks in a different direction to the others, towards the beach. Around the corner, Elene and Titania are laughing waiting for Dimitris, Eg and Kip to join them. Eg and Kip come round and Eg hugs Titania. "That was so good, but why did you need to do that?" "Well we have a suspicion she's the goddess of healing, and look what she tried to do." "Heal our relationship..." "Exactly." "What do you mean by goddess?" Dimitris says joining the group. Elene, Eg and Titania look at each other, unsure of what to say. "What they mean is one of them." Kip says quietly. "So you three are goddesses?" "Yeah they are." Dimitris walks over to Eg. He tucks a strand of her hair behind her ear, muttering softly looking into her eyes "so my flower queen, is a queen?" Eg just nods slightly. Wordless. Dimitris looks at Elene and Titania, "you two are queens as well?" "Those two are kind of queens of their areas. I'm their queen." Titania replies. "So I was right about that Titania." Titania nods in reply. Dimitris walks to Elene. Her heart stops in her chest but she doesn't panic as he embraces her. Dimitris looks at Kip while hugging Elene, "how do you cope?" "We've all just found out. I mean, I'm not a God, but you know..." He says wrapping an arm around Eg, pulling her to him. Elene buries her head in Dimitris's chest and mutters "you don't know how much you mean to me." Elene said Titania a message mentally. 'Can I tell him?' 'Not now. Not before we meet Eg's uncle. He'll be questioning everyone we meet.' 'But...' 'Elene.' She takes herself out of his embrace and walks towards the council building. "El, come on don't do this." Titania runs after her and walks alongside her. Eg pats Dimitris's arm again "she's just getting used to the concept on who she is, like I am. She'll settle when she's near the sea." Dimitris nods weakly, his heart yearning for Elene to be in his arms still. Elene and Titania walk in silence up the steps of the council building, Elene still trying to adjust to who she is. They wait for the trio to catch up, and the five enter the building. Eg leads the way to her uncle's chamber and knocks on the door. "Enter." Her uncle's voice says. Eg takes a deep breath before pushing the door open. The room was dark like usual, she could see his outline in the corner, with a smaller more feminine outline pressed against him. "It's me uncle." "Eglantine." "You wanted to speak to me." "Yes I do." He replied before kissing the small figure. Kip stepped in beside Eg and she held his hand, hating being here. Dimitris, Elene and Titania enter quietly and shut the door. "I didn't ask for you to bring your friends." "Well I brought them, what are you going to do about it?" He chuckles before turning to the smaller figure. "I'll be back in a minute darling." He kisses her lips and walks towards the five of them. He sits in his chair behind his desk. "You said it was about a couple of people who have entered the town." "Yes I did. The number has now increased to three." "So, what has that got to do with me?" "Stay away from them." "How can I when I don't know who they are?" "Oh you do know." "No I don't," Eg says with a poker face, "this is a waste of time, I'm going." "No you aren't." "You can't stop me." "I can if I say I'm not your uncle." "Tell me something I don't know." Eg can feel him raise an eyebrow in the shadows. "Who you really are. "You underestimate me." "Oh really?" "Yes." Eg says as she places a hand on the door handle. It turns hot and burns her hand. Elene dampens the heat on the handle mentally so Eg can open the door. "See." Dimitris, Elene and Kip walk out the room. "I want to see your Greek friend." Elene turns on her heel, walks back in and bows slightly. "You wanted to see me." "How's Greece this time of year Routsis?" "Like the rest of the Mediterranean. Sunny." "Compared to the UK?" "Greece is warmer." "Then why come across?" "I always come a few weeks before carnival, tradition. Otherwise all the hotels are booked out." "That is true, I can run my calendar based on your visits." Elene raises an eyebrow but doesn't say anything. "As for you, I have no idea who you are." He says looking at Titania. "Eg is looking after me as I came to town seeking refuge sir." Titania says weakly. "Why is that child?" Titania sniffs before continuing. "Well I was running from a battle, someone was sent to kill me." "Why would someone kill you." Titania walks to his desk, puts her hands on it and looks in his eyes. "You tell me." He leans forward onto the desk facing Titania. "You're brave child." "Don't call me child." "Why?" "Because I'm older than the devil himself." He laughs. "How could you be so sure?" "I'm always right." Titania says walking away from him to outside the room. Eg and Elene are still stood inside the room. Playing with fire so to speak, that's the only reason Elene stayed in there. He sat there rubbing his hands. "How come I never get to see your face?" Eg says when he leans back in the chair. "You need to know who I am before you can." He replies smoothly.
Chapter 9 "I know who you are... Insane." Eg says before her and Elene walk out the room. Eg shuts the door and walks away, the sound of laughter filling the corridor. The female figure in the background walks out and sits on the desk in front of the mayor. "What are you going to do about them?" She asks, her voice sounding more like a reptile. The mayor chuckles as he looks at her figure licking his lips. "Well, I haven't decided." He stands up and the female presses her body into his. "Your 'niece' sounds like a nosey person." Her voice mumbles from kissing his neck. He runs his hands through her hair, while she presses into him more. "It's not her that worries me." "Then who is it?" "The Goddess queen herself." "Titania? That's impossible. She fell unconscious after I sliced her right shoulder blade." He stops paying attention to her body and pulls away. "That was you?" "Yes." "I never gave an order for them to be almost killed. I asked for them to be weakened." "I know what you said." She replies trying to pull him close to her again. He slams his hands down onto his desk either side of her legs "then why did she just look me right in the face without backing away?!" The heiron whimpers at his face. The human face disappeared just before Titania looked him in the eyes. The Devil's true red eyes bored into the heiron's skull. Scars covered his pale skin, leaving ridges, lumps and dots of new skin over his face, neck, arms and body. The scorched tips of his blonde and ginger streaked layered hair stood out like a lighthouse in a storm. "I don't know..." The heiron stammered quietly, "that might not of been her." "Then why is my true self showing? That only happens if someone knows who I am!" The heiron backs away slightly scared. The Devil's face relaxed, before bringing his hands up her legs, then runs one up her body causing her to moan quietly. He pulls her head towards his and kisses her on the lips. She melts into his touch and the pair end up lead on the desk, bodies pressed together. He locks the door by twisting his spare hand, then gets back to his business. The group walk out the council building in an awkward silence. "He said you need to know who I am before I can see his face." Eg mutters. Kip rubs her shoulder reassuringly, hoping it would help her relax. "Just ignore it. He's an idiot." Dimitris said bluntly. Eg and Kip look at Dimitris shocked, "it is true." Elene says off-handedly. Titania shrugs slightly "he always has been, why would he start changing now?" "What did he look like anyway?" Eg asks. "I can't tell you." "Why not?" "Elissa it's not as easy as that." "My name is Eg. Not Elissa" Titania sighs running her hands through her hair, "I'm sorry I didn't mean to." The stress of trying to keep the group hidden and find the others was starting to show. She starts walking faster and soon leaves the other four behind. The group watch her hopelessly, not knowing the scale of the battle ahead. None of them aware on how much was depending on a group of nine 17-22 year olds. Yes they're older than the typical storybook heroes, but maturity plays into their hands. Well you'll like to think that really... Titania sits on the wall separating the beach from the pavement. She thinks to herself, she's always been on the fence between situations. Kassia spots Titania on the wall and jogs over from her seat beside the beach volleyball court set up by her friends. "Hey, have you and your sister made up yet?" She asks. Titania looks up confused "my sister? Oh... My sister. No we haven't." Kassia raises an eyebrow. "Why did you look confused?" "It's just my friend seems more of a sister to me than she does." Kassia smiles sadly. She glances at the white top and blue shorts Titania is wearing and then back at her friends. "Come on." She offers her hand to Titania. Cautiously Titania takes her hand, she gets pulled off the wall and dragged down to the court by Kassia. "So what's your name? I know your sister said Ti..." "It's Titania. Yours?" "Kassia," she stops when she nears a couple of her friends, "this Ti, she had an argument with her sister so she came over to let off some steam." The girls look up, smile, then go back to chatting like before. "Don't worry, they're always like that." Kassia says lightly. Titania shrugs and spots someone who looks similar to Kip and one of the guys from the restaurant. "So who is everyone here?" Titania asks. "Well those two 'sociable' people are Becca and Chelsea. On that side is Jennifer, Lucy, Isaac and Leo, then finally Chrissy, José, Rick and Naufal on the other." "A couple of the boys are a bit old for you, aren't they?" Titania says winking at Kassia, causing her to laugh "that's true. But they don't mind it." They get interrupted by José, Naufal and Rick cheering. Chrissy just served the ball which the other team completely missed. Naufal smiles and jogs over when he sees Titania standing with Kassia. "Are you stalking me or something? First breakfast and now?" Naufal says jokingly. "Actually we were at the restaurant first." "Elina knows what time we come, she done it on purpose." "You shouldn't talk about people behind their back!" Elene shouts running down the beach barefoot. Titania turns round and hugs her. "What are you doing here?" Titania says in her ear. "Looking for you." "Where are the others?" "At Eg's apartment." Titania sighs in relief. Elene looks at Naufal "that was rude." "Come on you know I'm only teasing." "That is true dude, but still. Ti would take you seriously." "Says the one who said I'm scared of spiders when I'm not, you are." Titania interrupts. Elene pouts, considering what Titania said. "Well I can't deny that." Kassia laughs, "please say you're kidding me." Elene nods whereas Titania shakes her head. The four laugh causing Leo, Lucy and Rick to walk over. "What's the racket over here?" Rick comments. Kassia looks at Rick "nothing for the nosey people to know." She counters quickly. Naufal looks at the sea, "the Goddess Elene would love this town." He mutters, causing Elene and Titania to look at each other quickly. "Don't get started on your mythology dude." Leo says clapping Naufal's shoulder before walking away, his arm around Lucy. An awkward silence settles over the group until Dimitris jogs up and wraps his arms around Elene's waist. "Hello stranger." He whispers in her ear, she giggles slightly and whispers back. "Not here." Titania smiles at the pair. "Have you picked someone up and not told me?" Naufal asks jokingly looking at the two of them. "Possibly... This is Dimitris. That's Naufal, I don't know the others." "I'm Kassia." "Rick." "Oh you were the one Kip was talking about." Titania comments. Rick turns to Titania, "Kip was talking about me?" "He just said you two look similar and people used to get you guys confused." "So he's decided to come back then." Rick comments bitterly. Elene tries reading his mind but fails. 'Did you want me to do that?' Dimitris's voice appears in her head. 'You can do that?' 'Yeah, I done it accidentally to Nyx.' 'Take a look.' Dimitris looked into Rick's mind, when he saw what he thought about Kip and what happened between them, he smiled to himself. 'What is it?' Titania asks quietly in Dimitris's mind. 'Those two have always been friends, they just make it seem like they aren't. That's because of their parents falling out. Rick even helped Kip find out information about Eg and her uncle.' José wanders over, with his blonde hair windswept across his face, almost getting in his amber eyes. Titania almost panics, she didn't need Eg and Kip to come over, otherwise the prophecy will nearly be complete. That would be the majority of the chosen ones. There was nine of them, and Nyx was the ninth. "What's with the mothers meeting over here?" José asks, his Spanish accent just disappearing. "Nothing, just a bit of introductions." Rick commented before walking away, feeling a bit exposed. The group stand awkwardly until a scream breaks the silence. They look round to see Becca soaked with water, Isaac with a bucket smiling and the others stood laughing. "Don't do that freak." Becca says trying to slap Isaac's leg but he's too far away. "What's her problem?" Titania says looking around Josè. Kassia and Naufal exchange a look before Josè speaks up, "he's not on the straight road as they say." "That means nothing to me..." "He likes guys." Elene whispers to her, Titania nods in understanding. Kassia glances at Rick talking to Chrissy, a pang of jealousy rising in her stomach. Naufal watches Kassia then looks at who she is watching "jealous?" Kassia looks at Naufal then the sand. "No, of course not." Naufal walks away laughing. "The gods told me." Elene and Titania resist the urge to say no we didn't. Elene's phone goes off, she gets it out and looks at the message from Eg, 'if you have found Titania, and the girl, bring them back to the apartment.' She looks up from her phone at the small group. 'Don't bring all the guys here. Just Kassia, Josè and Rick.' Titania tells her mentally. 'Why? The boys aren't Gods.' 'That doesn't matter.' Elene texts Eg back 'there's a couple of extras.' Dimitris looks up at Kassia. "Did you want to see what home life is like for me?" Titania asks Kassia, hoping she will take the bait. "Are you sure? It won't spoil anything will it?" "You heard what I said earlier, of course not." Josè looks between the pair. "What happened?" "Just an argument between me and my sister." "I'll come if you want, I'll be an alibi for the last hour." "Sure, if you're not busy." "Would I offer if I was?" Josè replies smiling slightly. Rick stops talking to Chrissy and Kassia inwardly sighs, her jealousy diminishing. She waves him over, "I'm going to Titania's, I'll catch you later." Rick glances at Titania then ruffles Kassia's hair. "If you're going, I'm coming Kass." Kassia looks at Titania. "That will be alright won't it?" "Yeah, that will be fine."
Chapter 9 "I know who you are... Insane." Eg says before her and Elene walk out the room. Eg shuts the door and walks away, the sound of laughter filling the corridor.

Thanks for the patience guys, my updates might get less frequent as I stuff to do at school. Thanks to Eglantine for keeping this up, but I'm not saying anything about your powers or the plot itself ~ Ali
chapter ten The group of six walk down the beach towards Eg's apartment block. They reach the door and Titania presses a finger to her lips, the others stay silent when Titania pressed the flat's button. "Who is it?" Kip's voice comes slightly crackled through the speaker. "Ti." Titania says, glancing at the group. Kip whispers his reply "your sister is going to flip at you, just a warning." He opens the door for them and the group climbs the flights of stairs to Eg's apartment. The door flies open when Titania is just about to knock. Eg's face couldn't be more angry "where on Earth have you been?" She almost shouts, "and who the Hell are they?" "She was with us." Rick says. "Oh nice of you to pop by Rick, now goodbye." Eg says turning to Titania who is sat relaxed in the corner of the sofa. "You bring friends over all the time, why shouldn't I?" Titania says calmly. Eg keeps her face stewing 'how old are you?' '2037.' 'I meant as in human years.' 'Oh, 17' "There's a difference, I'm 21, you're 17." "No wonder you don't get along..." Kassia mutters. "This is my business not yours. Besides, why are you stirring this up again?" "I'm not stirring." Kassia replies calmly. "Titania was with us, we were stood by a beach volleyball court talking." Josè says looking between Eg and Titania. Eg looks at Josè, her hair looking like flames in the sunlight coming through the lounge window "who asked you." Elene walks over to Eg and places her hand on Eg's shoulders. "Don't go mental at Ti please, it hurts both of you." Eg looks at Titania then back at Elene and huffs, walking to her room. She shuts the door behind her and laughs quietly, the bait was set. Kip poked his head out of the kitchen, "I tried to stop her, but she got to the door before I could." "It's alright Kip. It was going to happen sooner or later." Titania says calmly standing up as she talks. She goes over to the balcony doors, opens them and walks out. Leaning into the railing, she looks at the sea. Footsteps follow behind her, soon a slight muscular arm wraps around her shoulder. She looks at the arm's owner, it was Josè. "Is your sister always like this?" He asks quietly. "No, but she is most of the time." "Why do you put up with it?" "We only found each other recently, we were separated after I was born." Rick heads to the kitchen, when he walks in Kip looks up from preparing dinner and smiles. "Hey dude, how are you?" Kip asks, pulling Rick into a man hug. "I'm not bad, yourself?" "I'm good." "Those two aren't sisters." Rick says quietly in case anyone is stood near the door. "Yeah, so?" "Why the whole act?" "You wouldn't believe me if I told you." "Try me." "I can't tell you now." Kip replies quietly stirring the Korma sauce. Rick adds a couple of herbs "it was bland." He says normally and Kip smiles, the pair hated pretending to be enemies. Kassia pokes her head round the corner "when is dinner done?" "Oh it's you again, thanks for earlier." Kip says lightly. "It's nothing..." "It'll be a couple of minutes." Kassia nods in reply and goes back into the lounge. Rick follows her, but Dimitris and Elene replace him in the kitchen. Elene gets the plates out while Dimitris drains the rice. "How did you know I needed help?" Kip asks. "Well Dimitris here can read minds." Elene replies as Dimitris was in his own world. Kip nods "he's one of you lot then?" "Yeah, he's the strength God." "Oh... Doros. That makes sense." "It's rude to talk about people behind their back." Dimitris adds jokingly, joining the pair with a bowl of rice. He picks up four plates and lets Elene carry the others, they put them on the table in the dining room, setting them in individual places. "Why has it taken me this long to find you?" Dimitris asks trailing kisses up Elene's neck. She giggles softly "well I found out who I was yesterday, you found out today." Dimitris nods, waiting for Elene to continue. "What else do you want me to say?" "Well, if I'm the God of strength, what are you the Goddess of?" "You should know that, and don't read any minds to find out." Dimitris thinks for a second, but that soon turns into thirty seconds... "I remember, Titania is Goddess of the day and her opposite is Nyx who is Goddess of night and beauty, but all you girls share beauty if I'm honest. Klytie is Goddess of healing and Elissa is Goddess of spring. Titan is God of the weather and Myron is God of the sky. That leaves you as my Goddess, Elene of water." Elene smiles and kisses him quickly on the lips. Rick stands behind Kassia where she is sat on the sofa watching TV, "I still haven't got used to the size of this thing..." He comments and Kassia laughs causing Rick to be confused. There was nothing funny in what she was watching, so it must of been his thoughts get interrupted by Kassia tapping his side lightly, still giggling slightly "what are you like..." She goes back to watching the Tv and Rick smiles. He would love to have a girl like that, not intimidated by his figure, letting her tease him constantly. He smiles at her head, could that be Kassia, or someone else? Elene pokes her head around from the dining room "dinner is waiting." The pair nod and walk around Elene to the dining room. That's when Elene spots Josè with his arm around Titania. I hope she knows what she is doing Elene thinks to herself, Titania glances back as if she can feel the eyes on her. "Dinner is ready." Elene shouts so Eg, Josè and Titania can hear. The pair on the balcony walks inside the flat and then the dining room. Titania sits opposite the two doors at one end of the table with Josè on her right. They all share out the rice and chicken korma on the table between them all, but leaving enough for a full portion for Eg. A few minutes into everyone eating and chatting, slowly the room goes silent, Titania stares at Eg who stands in the doorway to the dining room. Glaring back at Titania, Eg walks slowly to her seat opposite her on the long table and sits down. She serves herself some of the rice and chicken korma then looks up at everybody watching her. “What?” She bites sternly, but smirks on the inside; everybody looks back down at their plates and continues eating. Rayhan sighed in relief, breathing in the little fresh air the small back courtyard allowed. Susma joined him about two minutes later “who’s watching the floor?” Rayhan asks glancing at Susma. “The lovebirds are.” “Oh, Lucy and Leo, I got ya.” “Dude…” “What?” “Don’t ever do that again…” Susma laughs punching Rayhan on the arm lightly before walking back into the restaurant. Rayhan laughs at his friend’s back and wonders how they work together. Susma joins Lucy and Leo in the restaurant, the restaurant wasn't busy but wasn't empty. Susma took the next order as the other two were chatting about something. The orders flew in and it was nearly closing time when Susma saw David. "What's wrong bro?" Susma asks when he sees David's forlorn face. "I was walking along the beach earlier, you know by the apartments and I swear I saw the same girl who was here for breakfast with one of Naufal's other friends..." "What's so bad about that?" "He had his arm around her." "So?" "Do you not get what this means?" "Dude she was never into you anyway." "Then why did she speak to me earlier?" "She never came near you in the restaurant..." "I phoned the guy they were with and asked him to hand the phone over to her." "Dude..." Susma says laughing, "are you sure it still wasn't that guy." He walks away back to a till leaving David stood there confused. was it a girl's voice, or just a pretend one? David thought standing outside the restaurant in the crisp air. Rayhan joins Susma at the till, "what are you chuckling at?" Rayhan asks watching Susma like he was an insane person. "You'll never believe it, David is jealous of one of Naufal's friends... David just came in and said to me that he saw Titania with a guy's arm around her, but before that he phoned up the guy they were with earlier..." "Kip." "Yeah, yeah, Kip, whatever. David asked to speak to Titania and apparently she answered but I reckon Kip just changed his voice. He seems the kind of guy to do that." Rayhan laughs and gives Susma a high five with his right hand. "He's finally learnt then." "Dude, don't do that again either." Susma's originallly caramel skinned palm was now red. Rayhan laughed, "wimp." He says walking away to tell his uncle there's no more customers. Susma joins David outside after shouting by to Rayhan and signing out. They walk out the town centre, which isn't in the centre of the town, towards their home in an eerie silence. Rayhan's car pulls up beside them, "need a lift?" He asks and the pair get in. The car, again, stays in an eerie silence only broken by the muttering of thanks after Rayhan stopped outside the pair's house. He done a three point turn in the road and drove to his house where he knew Naufal would, or should, already be. He pulls into the driveway to be greeted with the garage door opening, Naufal standing by its side. Rayhan parks the car and gets out, "how was volleyball with out me?" "We still won, Chrissy scored the winning point with a serve." Naufal replies shrugging nonchalantly. "Who were you with?" "Chrissy, Josè and Rick." "I'm surprised Chrissy was on the same team as Josè, remember how she broke his heart?" "You mean smash it to smithereens? Yes... But I think he put his pain into the game, he played some cracking shots." The garage door shuts, trapping them in. Until Rayhan opens a door into the house. "Apparently David might of been stood up by Titania." "By who?" "The girl in the restaurant he was eyeing up." "Her name was the same as the Goddess of the day?" Naufal asks in shock.

If anyone was getting confused about the Gods and Goddesses, I've given them their own colour each, enjoy ~ sorry if you're colour blind and can't tell the difference Chapter 11 Rayhan shakes his head laughing at Naufal "dude, don't start." "There was jealously down at the court as well." "Who was jealous?" "Well at first it was Kass as Chrissy was talking to Rick. Then it was Chrissy because Rick left with Kass, Elina, Dimitris, Titania and Josè." "Who's Dimitris? " "Some guy Elina picked up." "You make her sound like she does that for a living." “We both know she doesn’t though. She’s a travel agent.” “I’ll go to her to ask about the best resorts then for my next holiday.” “Well she’ll leave after carnival, that’s always been the way.” “We could run our calendars based on her visits.” “Anyone could, even the mayor.” The pair separate at their individual rooms and Rayhan goes to bed. Naufal texts Jennifer, his phone buzzing soon after with the reply. He smiled coyly to himself, knowing tomorrow could be more dramatic than today... The chairs at the table had gone cold ages ago. The plates were washed, dried and put away. It was a calm atmosphere within Eg's apartment. Dimitris had his arms wrapped around Elene's waist, Eg is sat in between Kip's legs, and Titania is cuddled up to Josè. She glanced up at his profile, I shouldn't fall in love with him, it won't be right... My brother won't be happy at all about this. But he doesn't know how it feels when someone protects you and keeps you close from an unknown threat. I won't be the first one to do it. Plus look at Eg and Kip, if they can be happy, so can me and Josè right? She tries to reassure herself, ignoring the fact that she could easily lose him. Kassia glances at the pairs around the room from her seat on a bar stool feeling a bit of jealousy. She glanced at Rick, he was the type of guy she wanted. He was caring, sweet and didn't mind her teasing him when he wasn't around his friends. When he was, he could act like an idiot and a womanizer, when he isn't. He is far from being one, he just talks to them for advice. Rick wondered what Kassia was thinking when he noticed something green on her skin poking out from the collar on her shirt. It couldn't be a green label, it looked too much like a leaf. He walked around to behind Kassia and gently lifted the collar of her top away from the back of her neck. As he thought, it didn't fall away, it stayed in its place. Kassia stiffened slightly when she felt one of his fingers trace the top leaf of her tattoo. "When did you get this?" He asked quietly in her ear. She turned to face him on the stool, but forgot how tall he was, so she was looking at his chest, then she looked at his face after possibly looking at his chest for too long. "What do you think it is?" She whispered back. Rick smiled slightly, making Kassia feel like her body just melted onto the floor, "I think it's the start of a tattoo." He continues in a low quiet voice. Kassia's heart had melted onto the floor a long time ago... "Well maybe it is, but I'm not showing you all of it." She says before spinning round on the stool to face everyone else. Rick grinned to himself, he had Kassia's heart, he was sure of it... Nyx glanced at phone; still no call from Kassia . She sighed reminding herself, the girl is just considering her options while switching her tv off. Walking through her ground floor apartment, she pondered where the pair could practice if they did sing together. They couldn't do it here because of the neighbours, there's Kassia's place, but Nyx didn't know about that... When Eg saw the time she gasped "have you guys seen the time?" Kassia glances at the clock. "We have no way of getting home and you never know who's on the streets at this time..." She says for the trio that came with Titania . Eg looked around her living room, she stood up and pulled Kip with her and dragged him to her wardrobe. Wordlessly she hands him a pile of blankets, Dimitris appears at the door and takes a pile of quilts. They return to the lounge with Eg carrying pillows. "Do you have an army supply cupboard or something?" Josè asks jokingly. He glances at Titania who had sat up properly of the sofa to look at Eg . "This can be moved right? As it's made of sections." Titania asks Eg . Elene starts laying quilts out on the floor with Kassia helping. Titania takes some of the cushions off the couch, putting them at the side of the room. Josè and Rick moves the parts of the sofa into a corner and the group creates a massive sleeping space, with plenty of room for everyone. Kip brought out Eg's pillows and quilt, then went back for Elene's and Titania's. The room was covered in a sea of quilts, pillows and blankets. Titania dragged Kassia to her room to lend her some night clothes and the other two girls went to get changed in their own rooms. When the girls came back in, all the boys were stood there comparing their muscles. They didn't notice the girls stood there for another minute as they were comparing six packs. The boys looked up and their jaws could of hit the ground if they opened any wider... Eg , of course, was in her night dress, Elene in a vest and shorts, Kassia and Titania in oversized tops as night dresses and short shorts underneath. Eg half skipped across to Kip and dragged him over to where her pillows and quilt was. The others just awkwardly moved around each other, then lead down. Dimitris ended up moving towards Elene more but Josè and Rick stayed where they were. Neither of them were sure on where they stood with the girls. Titan appeared on the balcony again, with his powers he opened the doors into the lounge. Moving the curtain to the side he looks around. Titan crouches behind Dimitris and softly places a hand on his shoulder. Dimitris stirs slightly waking Elene immediately. "What are you doing?" She whispers looking at Titan . "I'm changing him completely to Doros . That can only happen gradually when there are too many of us." Elene shakes her head. "What's your real purpose? As that isn't true..." "Checking the prophecy group." "Please explain." "I can't do that, Titania has to." Elene shakes her head and goes back to sleep. Titan stands up and steps over to Kassia . He runs his hand down the side of her face, muttering "beautiful Klytie ." She moved away from his touch and rolled over to face Rick. "She doesn't know brother." Her voice chilled him to the bones. He shook his head slightly, "why so early?" "I've found the Devil. What more do you want?" "You found him?" "More specifically I looked him right in the eyes. It was him, his face appeared." Titan looked away from his sister's piercing eyes. "Sister, you have most of the prophecy group here, what are you trying to do?" "Nothing yet. I'm letting him make the first move." Titania shakes her head and runs her hands through her slightly tasseled hair. "So what? Brother just go and shut the curtain and the door behind you." "Sister," Titan says pushing himself to stand up straight, "follow your heart." Titania glances to Josè's sleeping figure as Titan approaches her. "Brother what are you trying to say?" "Appearances can be deceiving. Who could the humans around you really be?" Titania focuses on Josè, Kip and Rick. They're all muscular, similar build, but Josè has the smallest frame. They're too big for male heirons, too small for shadow heirs. Shifters from Helles point could be a possibility. Titania stood up in front her brother. "Stop trying to play mind games brother." She said spreading light wings from her back. Titan grins, creates light wings as well and bows. "Be swift sister." He says and walks to the door. The wings disappear as he draws the curtain back and shuts the doors. He looks up and vanishes from sight, to the moon and then home. Titania makes her wings disappear when her brother goes and lays down.
