Chapter 5: Rhiannon

I smiled at him carefully. This was the boy that Elizabeth had told me about. She was right too. Something about him was... different...

The power he was emitting was amazing. Not in strength, but in difference. It definitely was my mortal that's for sure.

He eyes me suspiciously,"Hello?", he says more like a question. I almost chuckle at his expression. He is absolutely confused as to why I'm even speaking with him.

I sit down cross legged across from him and smile,"May I sit here?", I ask sweetly.

"Uhm...I-I guess you already are...", he replies awkwardly. I pull a list out mentally and write down, socially awkward towards the female species.

I hold my right hand out to him,"I'm Rhiannon, but you can call me Rhi!"

He eyes my hand for a few seconds and then grabs it, giving a firm shake,"Nice to meet you. I'm Josh."

Strong hands, I mark on my list. I smile,"Nice to meet you Josh..." He slides his hand from mine and awkwardly puts it in his lap.

"So Josh, what do you do?..."

LATER THAT NIGHT:

I was sitting at a small coffee shop. Elizabeth sat across the table from me, sipping a hot chocolate.

I grin widely at her. "Your excitement is showing..."

She blushes bright pink,"Stop Rhi!... So what if I'm excited?..."

I giggle,"It's adorable! You clearly have a crush on him! Which isn't like you..."

Her blush leaves her cheeks and she stares at her hot chocolate in thought,"I shouldn't- no, I don't have a crush on him. I've got more important things to worry about..."

I frown,"Elizabe-" She cuts me off and shakes her head.

"I didn't send you to interrogate him on my behalf. I want to know more about him, only to find out what he is.", She says, all business

I swallow and give a slight nod. She was right. We had bigger plans on our hands. I pull the mental list I made to the front of my mind and clear my throat.

I grab a napkin and a pen,"Okay, let's see here..."

I write as I speak,"•His name is Josh. •He works at Skyland offices, with you.

• He lives by himself in an apartment. •Currently single.

•Went to a four year college here in New York.

•Originally from Minnesota - Taken from his accent

• He's 22 - so just graduate from college

• socially awkward around females

And last but not least

•Has soft hands."

I slide the list across the table to her. Her eyes slide down it and she snickers,"Has soft hands?"

I nod and giggle,"That boys got some soft hands for a guy!"

She shakes her head in amusement,"Well you did get some good information. He's young and educated. From Minnesota possibly..."

I giggle,"I wonder if instead of your welcome, he say you betcha? That'd be cute!"

A smirk plays on her lips,"I'll try and find out..."

I bite my lip and let out a kinda breathy laugh,"Know who he kinda reminds me of?..."

Her blue eyes lock with mine,"Who?..."

I give a sad smile,"Artemis...."
