The Adopted

Chapter 9

Izy's pov
Once Jordyn was awake we told her what had happened. The scar made me feel guilty. Can't imagine how her brother feels. Then the doctor walked in.
"The scar willstay there for the rest of your life but the knifes were covered in a chemical that that...... corrodes your blood. Like a poison. The knifes both shattered and some of them went into your brother. We had to amputate his right wing and left arm." The doctor said.
"Hey hand me that sketch book please." Jordyn said with a glimmer in her eye. She drew a metal arm and wing. "Kimber. Its a lightweight metal about the same weight as our wings. I'll work on this later." She stated. Charlotte walked in with a guy. He had black hair with 2 white highlights in the front, and grey eyes.
"Jordyn I want you to meet Marshall." Charlotte said introducing him.
"Charlotte, I am on a mission of helping my brother. I don't have time for this." She replied flying out of the room.

Don't get me wrong Marshall was hot. But I had a present to make for my dopey, depressed brother that needs to get off his but, stop crying and do something . I was going to at least try to get along with Marshall.
"So why did you agree to come?" I asked being the curious me I am.
"Food." He replied. His voice was semi deep but not like Batman deep. More of a Jonny Deep deep. I chuckled.
"I'm Jordyn." I introduced.
"Marshall." He replied smiling. I wish I could read his mind. We talked about random things for a while as I made the prosthetic arm and wing. He offered helping but I turned him down politely.
"My brother's a picky guy. If you helped them he won't wear it." I said telling the truth.
"Nah, I understand. Besides I think I'd mess it up. I'm not very good at these types of things." He said.
"Well to be honest I have no experience with this stuff at all. I just read a couple chapters from an engineer book." We both laughed.
"Hey are you free Friday?" Marshall asked a little awkwardly.
"Yep. Why?"
"I was wondering if you wanted to go out to dinner with me Friday. On a date." I was explodjng wjth joy on the inside. I tried to keep it cool though. If I opened my mouth my excitement woukd burst out. So instead I nodded.
"Cool. Pick you up at 5." Marshall said. He got closer. His hand brushed up against my cheek lifting my chin. I blushed. Nanometers from our lips touching.
"Hey Jordyn." My idiotic brother interrupted on porpoise.
"Crying out loud Ray! Worst timing ever! Here's your junk now go away!" I yelled furiously handing him the prosthetics. He could tell that I was mad after I chewed  him out telepathically. Then it was just Marshall and I.
"You going to the 'humanoid game night'?" I asked.
"Yeah. Hey isn't that starting in a little while?" He said.
"Yes it is. In 10 minutes. We'd better head over there now if we're going to be there on time."

"Is everyone here? Yes? Good. A lot of games, hopefully it'll be fun! Ok let's start with a game called 'spin the bottle'." Sarafine said reading off a scroll. I didn't want to play the game and also Izy, Lizzy, Kyla, and I don't like the game. Plus I don't think the gods understand the concept of kissing.
"Why don't we play Monopoly instead?" Izy suggested.
"No! Don't mess up my schedule! We are organized people!" Sarafine yelled.
"Ok, ok. Fine, gosh." Sarafine explained the rules but had a baffled look on her face.
"I just don't understand one thing. What's 'kissing'?" I showed everyone a short video with two people kissing. So we spun the bottle and Lea and Joshua had to kiss. They tried swallowing each other and Josh succeeded. Then his mouth opened up and there was Lea.
"Hello!" She said cheerfully.
"Ha he hin?" Joshua asked. I had no idea of what he was trying to say.
"Yes. I belive we won." It took a little bit for the human raised people to process what we just saw. I went home after that. But then again, so did everyone else.
Austin's pov
After a while everything gets boring. Even 17 armless ninjas that acted like they were trained in Naruto.
"Alfred, plan an attack on Olympus." I said in my Batman voice.
"I keep telling you that just because I'm an English man that doesn't mean my name is Alfred!" My new second hand man yelled finishing the attack plan.
"No. But you work for me, and you're my butler. So I can call you whatever I what." I responded.
"I'm not your bloody butler!" This man was makking me livid.
"Shame. We had a good thing going."
"What? No, no, I didn't-" I snapped my fingers summoning lighning, making him a pile of ashes. This was how I lost most of my citizens. The plan was fair.
"Ok ninjas, win this pathetic war. Kill every god or goddess you can! Oh and bring them this. And every chicken we have." I said handing the master ninja a scroll saying I will have my world domination. My chickens were called 'Griefs' amongst the gods. Why? I don't know
