What you don't know, Wont kill you. I think...[5]

Chapter 5

The next day of school was a waste. I didn't even focus on which class it was after the first one. I have too many things to think about.

Sebastian told me some pretty interesting things... im having a hard time believing him...

*Last night, dinner*

My question hung in the air, ringing through my mind, questioning myself if i had actually just said that. Well whats said is said, but he better answer me truthfully. I had asked "Who exactally are you?" I know, pretty lame question, But not when you thought your date was some Italian prince or something. Turns out, Italian prince was the easier thing to believe.

"I am Sebastiano. whom else?" He asked me, fake confusion all over his too-innocent face.

"You know what i mean... Are you really some lost prince from Italy?" My voice dropped into a whisper, araid to hear the answer. If he was a prince, that would just make things so much more difficult.

"Well, i cant imagine you would have a very easy time believing me, but yes... of sorts." He clarified.

"Of sorts?" I questioned.

"Have you ever heard of the story Hercules?"

"Yes, of course. Its one of my favorite movies. But what does that-"

"So, you know the story of a fallen god, turned practically mortal, forced to live on earth, and become a hero to win his rightful place back on Olympus to rejoin his family... Well, that is in a way, my situation." He rushed all the words out in a sentance, looking unsure of himself.

My jaw dropped. Not that i didn't necessarily, in theory want to believe him, because i did, but things like that dont just trapse into your life labeled as Sebastian. It just wasnt reality. Not MY reality anyway.

"I knew you would think im crazy. Im sorry for being so careless... i... my father would be furious."

"Your father... meaning, Zeus?"

"Heh no... My father Orano, in Italy. You see, he is the king over Italy, i AM the prince, and i was sent here to-erm, well if rumors get out, my father will be the laughing stock of him kingdom. Who would want to be under the rulership of a wackjob who thinks his son is a fallen god? It sounds insaine, and he would loose virtually all of his subjects. So no matter how much you think i am mad, you cannot tell this to anyone. And thatis an oath you must make to me."

"An oath? Okay fine Mr. Official... i make a solemn oath not to mention anything of your past, and current life to any living soul." I saw the look of concern he wore and added, "Or even the dead. Cuz i hear, lately, they are just the most gossipy of crowds." I smirked at him.

"Anyway sebastian, i dont think your mad or anything, i just think that you got some interesting things to clear up. Anyway, if your father Orano is such a powerful king in Italy, why are you here right now?" I said, taking a big bite of pasta.

"Well... that is a more touchy subject... My father sent me here to fine a suitable wife, after a long search in Italy and the surrounding kingdoms where no possible wives were held for me. So i convinced my father to allow me to go to common area, excuse my wording, and find a more, well, common wife, train her in the ways of royalty, and make her my queen. Of course, it is not my idea to marry. My father insists though... " Sebastian trailed off. I nearly had choked on my pasta at the word "mary" but he hadn't seemed to notice.

"So, if you are meant to marry someone, what are you doing out here on a date? Shouldnt you be looking for a suitable mate or whatever? And don't say that your interested in me or anything, because frankly im having enough to deal with for one night."

Man, this dinner has really gone to the far left. This is too much odd things to think about at once. And ive had a ton of things to think about at once, but nothing on this level.

"Well Nia, i know you may not want to, or be ready to hear this, but i feel an odd connection towards you. I cant describe it, and i dont intend to try. But i hope that you can be patient with me, and assist me in figuring it out."

"You make casual dating sound so official. Don't you ever go just do soemthing for fun? Relax a little bit?" I asked, flaberghasted.

"There is not much time for "fun" where i live. The kingdom is a place that requires much attention and hard work to become successful. And by the looks of it, you control your school work at a very responsible and hazard free pace. That could be a very good quality in a queen. If we harness it correctly."

"Right about now is when the queen comment will end, and im sorry to admit, i dont have such a good handle on things as it seems.... Lets just forget that for now. I wana know something else." I said quickly changing the weird topic.

He sighed and sat back. I hadnt noticed that he had leaned towards me until then. It made me feel oddly comforted.

"Anything, Nia."

"Where is it that you go when youre not in school?"

"What do you mean? I have an apartment.."

"No, thats not what i mean. Last week, i didnt see you around the entire time. Where had you gone?"

"Oh, Nia, that is another interesting subject." He cautioned me. I didn't reply, letting him have amoment to collect his thoughts and answer me in the simplest way.

"I can... change forms. Change what my body looks like, but fortunately, nothing inatamate, and nothing female."

"So your a god, and a shape-shifter?"

He gave me a weak nod, not expecting this to come to me too easily. well, he was right.

This was damn confusing.

"Great."
