The Sword Of Tiberius

I End up in Adrian's Room

| Juliette | 

When I woke up, I was in a room I knew but wasn't mine. The curtains of the room were open and sunlight simmered in. It was the next day. I remembered what had happened yesterday. I found my mother, Adrian promised me, he got attacked by an Empuosa, and I got hurt. A lot happened yesterday. And this room was Adrian's. 

Band posters hung everywhere, and his bed was as messy as usual. The only thing that was off was that he wasn't here. I sighed and sat up on the small couch in the corner he had set me on. I expected my arm and neck to hurt badly but I felt fine. My body was just a bit sore. Of course, Adrian had healed me, him being the child of Apollo. Where was he though? Just as I started to stand up, the door of the room opened and Adrian burst in. His golden blonde hair was a complete mess, and his face looked worn. It must have taken him a lot of energy to heal me.

"Julliete." he said, relieved. He only called me Julliete when he was worried, angry, in a bad mood, or really happy/relieved. In this case, it was probably happy/relieved.

" You were hurt pretty badly, deep wounds on the neck and upper arm." He said softly as he sat on the edge of the bed that was a complete mess.

" But you healed me." I said raising my eyebrows

"Yes, and my- my life force was beginning to disappear as I did that!" He said dramatically with his hands clutching his chest. I rolled my eyes.

"It wasn't a big deal," I said. He stayed silent for a moment and opened his mouth, as if to objectify me. But then he thought better than to do that and said,

"How about you get cleaned up and ready, Tyler will make both of us breakfast." I nodded. Tyler was Adrian's big brother, who knew about demigod's even if he wasn't one. He was one of the few mortals that could see through the mist. Tyler had been a good friend of hers before, maybe even more for some time. But as we both grew older and he grew busier we just separated. And I was okay about it. He had been a good friend when he was, and he's still nice to me. Tyler was usually in California for his college studies. Just recently he had come back for a week or two.

I quickly cleaned myself up and got dressed in fresh, clean clothes. Putting my hair up in a ponytail I head towards the kitchen table. Pancakes and Adrian are there. I looked around,

"Where's Tyler?" I asked. Adrian looked up from his pancakes, which had way too much honey.

" Oh , you're here. Tyler's in his room doing studies" He put air quotations at the last word. I scoffed,

"He is probably doing just that" Adrian rolled his eyes, mumbling something like, Defending him so much. Grinning, I sat next to him and ate my plate of my pancakes. With less honey than his.
