Eagle Crest Hallows [3]

Traxis

Well now I feel guilty...

"Sorry once again, my name's Traxis. Traxis Bane." I say.

"Brooklyn." she says.

"Would you like me to fix your door?" I ask.

Riley

I hesitate before sitting beside him. "Riley. You?" I ask, looking at the floor.

,,,,,,,,,

Brooklyn

He asks if I want him to fix the door and I nod, flashing a smile, "Sure. Thank you."

Traxis

"Okay." I use telekinesis to lift the door off the ground and put it back into place.

"You know, I think an old friend of mine lives around here." I say as I place the bolts back into their places.

"Really?" she asks

Brooklyn

"Really?" I ask, glancing around while kicking my feet up on the table. Another Rayah instinct.

"What's his name? I might know him," I say.

Traxis

"What's his name? I might know him," she says.

"His name is Andrew Lare, I believe he lives here with his Wife Aaron." a weird look crosses her face when I say his name.

Perhaps she does know him...

Grayson

She sits at my side, looking at the pavement, "Riley. You?"

I smile. Riley. Whispers sounding like dark laughter ring in my mind and I fight to suppress a frown, looking away for a second. Images flash through my mind, reminding me of the only family I'll have.

"Call me Gray," I smile, looking back at her.

Feelings of satisfaction, freedom, and dominance flood my senses and I feel a little more at ease. I brush my hand over her cheek and smile wider at her blush.

"Tell me about yourself, Riley. How much more wonderful can you get?"

Brooklyn

I freeze when he says his name, emotions coming back to me as my eyes tear up.

I never said goodbye...

I look away nodding, "Yeah...I know him," My words barely coming out as a whisper.

,,,,,,,,,,

Riley

He brushes his hand against my cheek and sigh at his question. "I-It's complicated. I-I'm a demigod. I like the color green. I have a twin brother. That's mostly it," I reply, glancing up at him.

Grayson

I smile, "Wow. A demigod?"

Riley

I nod. "Olympian. I train in Olympus. Or as some people call it Heaven," I say, glancing back inside the house to make sure Brooklyn's alright.

Traxis

I can see that she is on the verge of tears.

"I'm sorry, did I say something wrong?" I say.

"No," she mutters.

"I'm sure he still lives here. I believe he might even live next door." I say.

Brooklyn

I shake my head. "N-No, It's not that...I didn't do something that I should've," I choked.

Grayson

I stiffen up at the mention of Heaven. Memories pass and the dark laughter comes back. Shaking myself out of it, I focus on her.

"We're not so different then," I say, setting my hand on the side of her face to get her to look at me, "Both from God's place of perfection."

Riley

I flash a smile at him, "That's good then. We'll get along," I said, pushing some of my auburn ringlets from my face to reveal my blue eyes.

Grayson

I watch her, smiling at her blue eyes. Ah. Perfection.

"Aren't you the slightest bit curious of what I am?" I ask in a whisper, my wings nonchalantly twitching.

Riley

I nod. "Of course I am. I just don't ask that right away when I meet someone," I smile wider. "What are you?"
