"Why is he back?", I roughly held the guards neck and slammed him to the wall. He gasped for air and muttered, " Y-your fa-father let him o-out". My grip faltered and I let him go.
I turned to Wilson and he shrugged. I slammed the wall beside me and it cracked. Frustration and anger welled up in me. I hated him. This sibling rivalry started when we were young demigod's.
Yeah demigod's. We're celestials. My brother's and I were being trained in demigod camp to face the threats of earth. Every celestial is required to train until they're 18,000 years old. In human years that's 18 years.
I'm currently 19,780 years but I say I'm 20 because no one says they're 19.78 years old. We celestials have been taught to keep our true identities and abilities hidden. To be able to rule the earth one day we need to see what really goes on in it. That's why were here. But my brother, Dave. He used his power for fame. He killed for pleasure. He enjoyed torturing people.
He crossed the line when he went head to head with a Celestial Prince and killed him. I was made to lock him up. He put me through the pain of passing judgement on my own blood. And now he's free.
I looked up to Wilson. "We've gotta stay at her place now or ever. He could be after her", I said. Every celestial had similar abilities. The usual super strength, speed and senses. But we all had one or more ability that made us different. Mine was called Fortune Teller. I've never been wrong about a prediction ever.
Sometimes I hate being right all the time.
I sigh when we pull up in front of Naj's house and see that everything is normal. We got out and grabbed our bags from the trunk and walked in. They all turned to look at us. " Hey you're back", Naj said walking towards me.
"Uh yeah just had to pick up some stuff", I pointed to the bags. "Mm okay but all the bedrooms have been taken except for two and since its my house I get to choose where you sleep", she said with a grin.
A sharp pain like a headache goes through my head for a split second. That usually happens when I see a prediction. It used to hurt but I'm used to it now. I smirked at her.
" I'll take the room next to you ", I muttered in her ear and I could hear her breathing hitch. " Uh I okay", she said her face turning red. Saif yelled," You're whipped Naj".
She glared at him then turned to Wilson. "You'll have the room next to the studios, next to Asmaa", she says and Wilson winks at Asmaa.
I roll my eyes and drag my bags while following Naj. She points at my door and I looked at the pink door with a bunch of flowers in front of it. " Absolutely not", I said and she grinned. "Its this or the couch", she said sweetly. I narrowed my eyes at her. " I'll take this down eventually ", I said and opened the door.
" Well at least the inside isn't girly", I said looking around. There was a TV in one corner and a bean bag in another. The door to my bathroom was on my left and the big ass bed was in the center of my room. Not bad.
"Thanks for letting us stay", I said to her and she waved it off. " It was nothing ", she said. " You should come downstairs and have fun with us, get to know me and my friends", she said and I nodded. "I'll be down soon".
She left and I sighed. I can't let her out of sight. She's died before. If her memories come back who knows what she'd do. If she ends up going back to him, Dave he'll kill her.
She doesn't know what she is yet. And I'm not telling her.
Najeebah Mohammed. Also know as the Princess of the Celestials. She's the most powerful female celestial.
She's also my brothers future wife. I said it before and I'll say it again, I hate being right all the time. She lost her memories because the head celestials deemed her too powerful.
Celestials are just supposed to find out how the world works. Not me and my brother. We had a mission. Protect her from Dave.
I've seen what happens when she marries him in the future. He takes her power. A celestials power is basically their life force. She'd die by her own husbands hand. That's the cruel future that awaits her.
But I'll twist that reality. I'll make sure the earth will not fall back into such dark times. I heard a knock on the door and Wilson popped his head in. " Dude let's go downstairs", he said and left.
I sighed and got up as well. I felt a presence. It wasn't close but I knew it was here. I looked outside the window and saw him standing on the hill looking at me.
It was far but I could make him out clearly. I gulped. My hands trembled. He eyes shone a bright blue. Then all of a sudden lightening struck and he was gone.
Everyone downstairs run up to my room to get a better view. "Whoa did you see what it was Benjamin?", Asmaa asked and I shook my head. I looked at Wilson.
He didn't need to say anything. That was Zeus. And his showing here meant that Dave was now top priority. He must be stopped at all cost.
'I'll end this. Dave wherever you are I will find you. And I'll end this'. I whispered so no one could here and clenched my fists.
I looked at Naj and she stared intently at the wall in front of her. Uh oh. I moved towards her. " Naj?", I touched her and she squirmed away from me and said," Μπέντζαμιν, πού είμαι, γιατί δεν μπορώ ...", she barely finished before she lost consciousness. I caught her before she fell.
Its happening already. It won't be long before her memory returns. When it does, all hell will break loose.
