Hazel.. Hazel..
"Leave me alone" I groaned, pulling my comforter closer and snuggling more into my pillow.
Hazel... Hazel
"5 more minutes " I mumbled into the pillow.
Europa...
I shot up at the use of that name. I looked around my room, expecting to see my dad but no-one was there.
The hairs on my neck stood on end and I found myself getting out of bed, something evil was in here with me but I couldn't see it.
My fingers lingered on the light switch and just I was about to turn it on, when a deep rich voice stopped me.
"Beautiful night isn't it? "
I flipped on the light and I reeled back a few steps.
The man sitting in my rocking chair I knew all too well.
The son of Hades.
"You should have called" I said, yarning.
"I did" He said. I wasn't sure if he was telling the truth so I fetched my phone from the charger and sure enough in my caller ID, The seed of the devil showed up.
What? It's not like I was lying.
"So you did... What are you doing here Blake? "
"That's no way to treat family "
I gave him the -don't-care-look.
He ignored me and said, " I just wanted to check on you. My dad said that your grandmother is in Olympus having a mental breakdown "
That would explain why I haven't seen them all day.
"Something about a seal? " Blake stood up, stretching.
"I die in 20 days" I said blankly.
"I don't believe so" He said." you are supposed to live, that much I know"
Blake looked at me and I looked at him. I tried to put aside the hate I have for him.
Everyone in my family was ridiculously good looking, it's like if you don't look like a model than you aren't apart of this family.
My attention on Blake who was saying something but I was distracted by well.. Everything about him.
No, i wasn't crushing on family but I had to admit... The boy was mesmerizing.
Blake smirked." As cliché as this may sound but Hazel, you were handmade to be great. You won't die"
I ignored him, standing and peeking out the window.
"I really hope you are right Blake"
"I am usually. It was nice seeing you, I'll be around "
I turned around to ask what he means by that but he ready vanished in thin line.
A trick overused in my family.
I didn't go back to sleep and trust me, I tried.
Around 4:30, I decided to go for a walk so I pulled my long black hair into a pony tail, threw on a crop top and a shorts and headed out the door.
Not much people were out at this time, and it was a quite morning.
Just how I like it.
It was Saturday so I didn't have to rush back home.
"Someone in your position would think it would be dangerous to be out and about at this time "
I groaned." Buzz off Blake"
"Now would I do that? "
"Why wouldn't you? "
It's a good thing barely anyone was out unless I'd look like a crazy person.
"I like annoying you, it's one of my small pleasures in life"
I rolled my eyes.
"That's very dangerous "
"Sweetheart, I am danger"
I yelped, jumping around a foot in the air.
Blake grinned.
Clutching my heart, I punched him in the chest with the other. In hindsight, I shouldn't have done it because my hand just hit pure muscle and I'm sure it hurt me more than it hurt him.
"You could have given me a heart attack assold! " I shoved him, walking away.
"Like I said, your time is a long way from now"
I ignored him, walking in the direction of the play park.
"Hey, I'm sorry" Blake said after about 10 minutes of silence.
He rubbed behind his neck, the action made his muscles tense up.
"Why are you following me around suddenly? And you better start with the damn truth" I hissed, sitting on a swing.
He watched me for a minute then he sighed, sitting beside me.
"I'm supposed to be watching over you"
"Why? "
"The gods suspect the arch cupids have something to do with this" He pointed to my hand and I noticed the number 19 replaced the 20. Suddenly I felt sick, realising that this shit is real. This is happening.
"The arch cupids " I questioned. "Why would they-"
I cut myself.
It's only obvious they would target me, I'm the daughter of the original Cupid if I die... My dad would be so devastated that love will die...
I turned to Blake who was already looking at me.
It was the first I've ever seen him concerned about anything about than himself.
"Wait a second!" I shot up. " they sent you to protect me?! "
Blake rolled his eyes
"What about Artemis or Athena, basically anyone else" I continued.
"I'm hurt Hazel. I'm hurt that you think I can't protect you" He pouted.
"No, it's not that.. I know you can protect me. I just cant stand you. "
He chuckled.
My protector is the same man that helps control the underworld, the Archer of death is my protector?
This should be fun.
