Are’s P.O.V.
“There you go, that should keep her from entering your room.” I told Auggie as I finished burning the last ruin into the doorframe of his dorm. “The ones on your wrist should keep her from controlling you again. I say ‘should’ because there are still times in the future that I see her taking control of you.”
Auggie stared at the black ink on his wrist that I had seared there with his shadow. I still can’t believe how stubborn this Cassandra chick is. She isn’t used to not winning and it’s driving her mad. She wants Auggie to submit to her now, but I’ll try to make sure that doesn’t happen. I stopped looking into Jesse’s future for a little while after I saw her with Cas.
That’s an image I wish I could burn away.
“Thanks.” Auggie sighed. I could tell he was
Augustus’ P.O.V.Ares disappeared before us, giving me the alone time I needed with Nova. I’ll need to apologize to him for yelling. The worry just ate at me and I snapped. I need to get better. I couldn’t let Nova go. My heart had shattered thinking she was dying. When Ares said he couldn’t see her future anymore, I was so sure she had died on me. I can’t let her go. I have to keep her safe. I have to have her in my life.“Nova, I know I am a shi.t friend. I know I explode on you a lot. I know that you think all I want is sex from a girl, but can you forget all that for a second and just listen to what I have to say?” I need her to hear me this time.“I’m listening.” She dug her head into my neck more. Her naked body against mine was driving me wild, but I pushed that lustful side of me down, wanting to admit how I felt.
Nova's P.O.V. Grandma Rain looked around at everyone with concern. The wrinkles on her forehead made her worries more obvious. I looked at Ares, needing this to go smoothly for his sake. He doesn't deserve this curse. My attention was splitting as I looked at Augustus. I had been smiling at the mark on my wrist since he placed it there. I couldn't believe it. "It's a hard list. As Lucy said, the first part to lifting this curse is to get the great witch that placed it to release the magic that holds it in place. It'll be more likely that you will have to kill her. In order to kill a great witch, you need a special sword. It's cliche, but it's called a witch killer. It's gold and needs 5 rare pearls to make the magic work. I am not sure where to find the sword, but I could ask the tree if-' "I have it already. Dad gave it to me as a gift this year. It has a pearl already." Ares cut Rain off. "Fu.cking, Percy." Zerena murmured with a smile. "That's great. You just need to find the
Jesse's P.O.V. "I knew I would find you here." Damon's voice froze me at my door. He had the audacity to come to my house. "Who'd you fu.ck Jesse?" He was livid and, for the first time, I think I was actually scared. He was faster than I expected. His hand was firm around my neck, squeezing tightly. I tried to swallow, but could barely do that. My breathing was getting hard. 'You have me now, Jesse.' Umbra reminded me, bringing me back to my senses. I pushed a strong shadow at his chest, making him let me go as he took a step back. His jaw ticked, showing me his silent fury. His light blue eyes stared daggers at me. "You're going to regret fu.cking someone else. I'm going to bring you the same pain you brought me today. I'll fu.ck every girl I see into oblivion for hours." He narrowed his eyes on me. Although he was furious, I could see the pain behind his eyes. Good, you deserved it. "You know, before all this I was starting to fall in love with you, Damon. I was letting m
Andy's P.O.V. "Good morning, Delilah." I greeted the other volunteer elf in the green house. The sun was rising and the dark clouds of yesterday had disappeared entirely. "Is it though? I don't understand how you can be so chipper this early." Delilah shook her head, drinking her big jug of coffee. "It's a beautiful day, what's not to be chipper about?" There's a lot not to be chipper about when the man you love, so deeply, is in love with your cousin, cursed by a great witch. "How about the fact that half the school is still recovering from the high the vampire bites left them? We're all reeling from the bond too. I keep finding myself walking towards the dark building ready to offer myself up like a buffet. Totally not natural." She shook that long blonde hair of hers. I shook my head at her as I watered the plants. I took special care to water my creation for Damon. I planned on making friends with him today. He doesn't know me as one of Ares or Auggie's friends. I will b
Jesse's P.O.V. I saw Andy making her way to Ares across the field. The wind carried her hair as if the breeze was made just to make her look better. Her pale skin contrasted against that dark raven hair with those piercing sky-blue eyes that could melt you away. She smiled as she reached Ares, hugging him. He kissed her forehead tenderly, surprising Auggie and I both. "Uh, what the fu.ck?" I looked at Auggie. He shrugged his shoulders, just as confused as me. It was just yesterday that I was comforting him about Nova. He was heartbroken and now here he is, looking very romantic with the all too beautiful Andy Viseron. I mean I am all down for this relationship, but something isn't adding up. It's not like Ares to move on overnight. Ares disappeared before us, leaving Andy there alone. She looked severely disappointed. I am not sure what just happened, but it caught everyone's attention, including Damon's. Andy walked off with Damon disappearing at the same time. I went to check,
Ares' P.O.V. I have decided, since Andy started enacting her plan today, that I would do the same. I set things up for Damon throughout the day to make his life hell. I used my future visions to ensure that he'd have the worst and most embarrassing day. I don't know who he thinks he is to hurt Jesse like this, but he's got hell to pay. Jesse has so many strong people in her corner. I am glad Jesse has Cas right now, because she needs it. I know she'll end up pulling away from him the further he pulls towards her. It's not healthy, but given what she's going through, I understand it. She'll need to work through her own sh.it before she can really enjoy an actual relationship. She knew how I was feeling when she saw Auggie at the tavern yesterday. She knew I loved Nova and seeing how Nova was willing to give Auggie a chance if he passed her trial, killed me. I want them to be happy, and I wish nothing more for them. I just also wish she would have chosen me. My father's letter sat
Augustus' P.O.V. The week had passed by so slowly. Not having sex or jerking off this entire week has me in a sour mood. The only time I'm not is when I'm around her. Nova brightens my day by just existing. I'd been spending more time with her alone as often as I could. I'll make it through this pact and then jerk off like a mad man to release this pent off energy. I know Nova isn't going to let me sleep with her as soon as the month is up. I plan on treating her with the utmost respect once we start dating. I'll be holding off on claiming her as mine until she's ready. Thinking about it made my d*ck twitch in my pants. Time for another cold shower. "Bro, are you seriously going to shower again?" My roommate, Dan, asked. "Don't question it. Shouldn't you be getting ready? Aren't you going home for the weekend?" "Don't change the subject. I've noticed you haven't brought any girls around all week. You hitting a dry spell or something?" He taunted. "Don't be an idi.ot. I cou
Nova’s P.O.V. “Ready, little moon?” Dad looked at me over his shoulder as we got to the shore, hidden in a cove away from human eyes. “Ready.” I nodded. We dove into the water together, shifting into our sirens at the same time. Dad had dark gray scales to match his eyes, with his muscles even larger in siren form. His shaggy blonde hair floated around him in a sort of halo that didn’t seem appropriate for a sire. He narrowed those gray eyes on me, taking in the changes to my siren. “Your mother told me what you had done, but I didn’t realize it had changed your siren as well. You smell like a sea witch now. You need to be careful with the sharks. They’re going to be harder to sneak by now.” Dad sighed. “Don’t worry, we can still do this, just stay close.” I nodded, swimming alongside him. He was fast, his siren extremely strong. The water was his element. He thrived in the ocean more than anywhere else. I think the ocean was excited to have him back too. I could feel it in the
