Mount Olympus [9]

Austin

I watch his sister shift and feel my whole world stop, watching her wolf trot off into the woods. Elijah slaps me, and I blink out of it, realizing I dropped my cigarette. Stomping it out, I clear my throat and try to save face, "Sorry. Spaced out for a moment."

Bethany

I go into the woods and take down a whole deer, shifting back to human and dragging it back to the porch and into the house, "I'm not letting you have any so don't even think about doing it, Eli," I warn before I get it through the doorway.

Austin

I watch her bring it in the house, eyebrows raised, before looking at Elijah. He grunts and shifts, leaving me alone on the porch.

Bethany

I study his friend before dragging it inside, throwing it on the couch for mom and dad and turning the music back on.

Austin

I wait for Elijah to come back before walking inside the house and dropping into a chair with a sigh.

Bethany

Elijah and his little friend walk back in and to annoy him I turn the music up louder and dance around again.

Austin

Elijah sits down, annoyed, before kicking the stereo and making it spaz out.

Bethany

I glare at him before stopping and crossing my arms, "Jag!"

He groans, walking downstairs, "What?"

"Hurt him," I point to Elijah.

He studies him, "Why?"

"Because he broke my stereo," I pout.

"Jesus Christ..." He mutters, "Just go to sleep."

Austin

Elijah glares at Jag, "Touch me and you'll pay."

I watch everything before smiling, finding everything so amusing.

Bethany

I bare my fangs at Elijah and pin him against the wall, "Just wait until mom gets home. She's gonna kill you."

I hiss before letting him go, my eyes orange, and flick him in the forehead, walking over to my deer.

Austin

Elijah hisses back at her, baring his fangs, and I shudder. How does anyone stand up to him? He sits down and shakes his head.

"Kill me for what?" he asks. "I've done nothing. You're the one being a b*tch."

Bethany

I mock him and sit on the couch, studying his friend, "Who's he? You haven't brought him over before."

Austin

I study her back as she studies me, the world stopping again for a moment. When I blink out of it, I bring a hand to my head and feel my eyes switch from brown to a bright teal. Ugh. What is this?

"None of your business," Elijah tells her, sitting down again.

"But you can call me Austin," I mutter.

Bethany

I chuckle at his humor and stand, "I'm Bethany. But apparently, people around here call me b*tch," I glare at Elijah, River walking in through the front door. He smiles and walks up behind me, wrapping his arms around me, "Hi."

I study him and sigh, "Again? Are we really at this again?"

He smiles and looks up at me, tracing his fangs down my neck like he's gonna bite me before letting me go and sighing, looking at the deer, "You catch this?"

I nod and he plops down, feeding from it.

Austin

I watch the two before thinking it odd that two siblings act that way with each other. The boy starts feeding and I look away, not wanting to see that.
