Chereads / Five Horsemen of the Apocalypse / Chapter 9 - The Meeting (2)

Chapter 9 - The Meeting (2)

(Serena's P.O.V.)

I was so confused, first of all these mortals could see through the Mist and noticed the army of monsters. Second, they had weapons and knew how to fight. Just watching them gave me shivers, honestly I hope these are the horsemen that Chiron was talking about because if they were I think we could be able to defeat the monsters.

"Serena?"

I snapped out of my thoughts.

"Yes?"

"I've been calling your name for a while, what have you been doing?"

"Oh sorry, I was thinking. But do you think they're mortals or demigods? They can see the monsters and they have weapons?"

Aaron looked at me like I was crazy, honestly at this point I think I might be.

"I mean maybe, but the aura coming from them is a bit differe-"

"Sorry am I bit late?~"

I turned my head to the sound of the voice and I think my heart skipped a beat, the girl was really pretty to say the least.

"And you are?"

I turned my head to look at Death once more, she didn't look too shocked either she saw her before or she could hide her feelings fairly well.

"The names Clarity, what about yours?"

"Death."

I felt nervous, like there were five nuclear bombs meeting and my friends and I were just waiting for them to erupt.

"What about the others?"

Everyone started introducing themselves once again until it came down to us three. Honestly having 5 pairs of eyes staring at us was fairly nerve wracking and I was really nervous.

"I'm Akira, that's Aaron, and she's Serena."

I stared at her, shocked, I didn't understand how she could just stare at them and reply without stuttering or cowering.

Famine stared at us and smiled slightly.

"Well hello there, anyway I'm not sure why any of you are here but I'm here because of a black cloud and an increase of monster attacks in my territory."

"Well I only came here because of Lady Void."

"I came because of the black cloud and also a few signs that Lady Helix gave."

"…I just flew here because I didn't want the mountain life to be in danger.."

War looked around and asked,

"So just to be clear, we're all here because of Lady Chaos, Helix, or Void correct?"

All four nodded.

I came back to reality and immediately started talking.

"R-right, so we come from a Camp for people like us and Chiron told us to go scouting for five people called the Horsemen to help us because apparently this deity called Void said that they would help us?"

Famine frowned slightly but quickly smiled and said,

"Well isn't that a surprise~ Lady Chaos, Helix, and Void is exactly why we're all here so maybe we would be the ones your looking for?~"

Clarity frowned a little and asked,

"Well just to be sure, what are their names?"

"Uh...- well- you see-"

Thankfully, before I could stutter even more Aaron took charge and explained.

"Well Chiron didn't say anything about names but would you please come with us for interrogation?"

Death raised an eyebrow and scoffed. War didn't look shocked but was a little disgruntled. Famine smiled lightly, Conquest just shrugged and Clarity just nodded.

"Well... then I'll take that as a yes..?"

Aaron then turned around and started walking to Camp.

Akira turned around and quickly took her place up in the front. I sighed and walked after them.

-*Famine*-

So are they not going to check to see if we're following or..?"

I looked at the so-called campers in bewilderment.

"I mean I guess they just assumed that we would go with them"

Death scoffed at Clarity's statement and just walked after the campers. Honestly, she was making my blood boil. The incident 100 years ago was still playing around in my mind. I scowled and followed her. The rest followed us and we ended up at a tree on top of a hill.

"Are you sure this is where we go.? It doesn't seem very campish.."

I rolled my eyes at War's words.

"First of all yes your correct I can only see a valley but campish isn't a word."

He smiled sheepishly

"Yea I know, I just couldn't find a word for this."

The girl, Akira, I'm pretty sure, rolled her eyes and replied,

"Of course you can't see it yet, your not in the barrier."

Huh, so she was bratty type, would've never knew. I rolled my eyes

"Well alright then lets get going."

We all walked through the "barrier" as she said and just like magic the whole "camp" was revealed before us. Behind me I could heard Clarity and War looking around while mumbling to themself.

"Well this doesn't seem to bad.. but do you have a place for us to stay?"

The boy replied,

"Well for now you could probably stay in the Big House. After we determine who you are then you can settle into your cabins."

I scowled,

"So your expecting me to stay with these people in an attic?"

"I mean I hate to agree with Ice Queen over here but yea, you can't expect us to live together."

I narrowed my eyes at Deaths choice in words and Mira growled.

"Calm down Mira..."

Death eye-rolled and then we heard a loud caw and we all looked up to find a raven descending and then landing on Death's shoulder.

"Who-"

"My pet-"

"Her pet-"

Clarity and Death stared at each other,

"How did you know that."

"I- sorry, it just slipped out.."

Death stared a little bit longer but eventually just shrugged it off.

"So.. I suppose we should decide of housing options? I can just sleep on my boat, I don't know about the rest of you."

I looked at Conquest but nodded in agreement,

"I can make my own cabin."

"I already made a house for me.."

"I'll be fine wherever"

War just stared at us in disbelief and said,

"I'm not magical like these people so I'll just take the attic or a cabin.."

Serena nodded,

"Well.. I'll notify Chiron.. you can wait here,"

She hesitated before saying,

"Please and thank you"

I shrugged, agreeing to stay put, I honestly don't care about the others, I just need to complete the mission and go back.
