Mount Olympus

Rayah

Jesse sighs and looks at me. "I'm going to the bar. You coming?" She asks, standing. I shake my head.

"Can't."

She looks at me weirdly, standing by the door. "Why not?"

I sigh. "I'm prego," I remind her.

She rolls her eyes and nods. "That sucks. Bye." She waves goodbye to Jace and the others before dissapearing out the door.

I cuddle into Jace and wrap my arms around my stomach, taking a deep breath.

Jace

"I don't like her," Nic states.

"You don't like a lot of people," I reply, wrapping my arms around Rayah and kissing the side of her face.

Alyx scoots me over and lays on his cushion, curling up like a dog. I shake my head at the strangeness and decide to just go with it.

Rayah

I smile at them and kiss Jace quickly before sighing. I see his brother curl up like a dog and I look away quickly, thinking that's crazy.

Jace

I kiss Rayah back and look at Nic once she pulls away, "What's with him?"

"Oh...he's been clinically diagnosed with canine depression," Nic says, "Comes with what he can do, I guess."

"Shut up, Nic. You're such a smart a*s," Nic covers his head with his hands.

The next time I look back at him, he's a German Shepherd.

"Whoa..."

Rayah

My eyes widen and I swallow, burying my face in Jace's neck. "That was so weird..." I mutter, so confused my headache comes back.

Jace

I flash a smile at Rayah and nod, "I know."

Rayah

I remove my face from his neck catiously and glance around. "I'm bored," I sigh, humming a song. "Oh! The football game! We should go to it. It doesn't start for another twenty minutes because the cheerleaders are warming up," I remember how I was suppost to be there.

Jace

I don't understand this girl. She was almost killed one minute and is hyper and wants to go to a football game the next?

"Uh...sure," I say, "Can Nic and...doggy Alyx come?"

Alyx kicks me with his hind legs and I flash a smile.

Rayah

I nod. "Sure. But I have to cheer a little," I sigh. "If they see me there. But only three cheer tops, promise," I say, standing. Happy I'm already in my uniform, I hold my hand out for Jace to take.

Jace

I stand and take Rayah's hand. Alyx gets up, grunting, and shakes his fur out. He nips my ankles and goes back to annoy Nic for a while.

Rayah

I lead out, and make my way to the school. When we get there, the cheerleaders are stretching on the feild and the stadium is almost full. I get seats and tell Jace I'll be back in less than 30 minutes, running down to stretch. I do the splits with no problem and greet my friends while touching my toes in the process.

Jace

Rayah leads us to our seats before saying she'll be back in thirty minutes and heading down to be with her cheerleading friends. Alyx had, at some point during the walk, shifted back into a human and sits at my side, Nic stealing a seat behind us.

"What is this?" Alyx points to the field of players and looks back at me.

"Football," I reply, "A sport."

He nods slowly and looks back at it.

"Um...How exactly are you alive?" I ask.

He turns back to me, expressionless, and takes a deep breath.

"If I knew that, I'd of told you already," he says, "Or Nic would have. But I honestly don't."

Nodding, I look back at the game as he does.

"And I'm sorry about what happened back then," he mumbles, "I just wanted to make sure you got out alright."

Rayah

They tell me I have to be the flier this time. Oh god.

When theres a time out, they call us on the feild and we have to act all preppy and hyper.

"We got spirit, yes we do! We got spirit, how 'bout you?!"

We all yell, shimmering our pomb-pombs. We make a pyramids, and guess who was at the top? Me. Of all people. They hold me by one foot and then drop me, a guy catching me at the end of the cheer. I take a deep breath when finished, and make my way back up, sitting next to Jace. "I hate pyramids," I mutter, flashing a smile.

Jace

"Yeah, me too," I cross my arms, "A guy caught you..."

Nic flicks me in the back of the head and I just ignore it.

Rayah

I sigh at him and take his hand. "That's how the cheer goes, Jay," I kiss his cheek. Nic flicks the back of his head and I glare at him.
