Sinclaire Academy: Half Bloods

Chapter Ten: Riddles

Chapter Ten: Riddles

- Zeus Achilles -

"It's suffocating." Zeus heard Aiane whisper when they entered the grand hall. Everyone turned to them of course, the Sinclaire Family just entered the room.

"What? The atmosphere?" Bulong niya pabalik sa kapatid habang naglalakad na sila patungo sa harap to meet the others. He had to admit, he's getting a little uncomfortable with the scrutinizing gazes directed to them. He already expected this.

"My dress, it's so tight!" Aiane pouted and adjusted her tube.

He only rolled his eyes, looks like Athena chose not to dwell on the atmosphere. He hated events like this, these kind of things requires the Council's attention and he hated things that involves the Council's presence.

He trailed his eyes over the big room. Red Claw's pack house was almost as big as their Mansion in Rosehill. Alam niya ay dito na tutuloy ang mga Lockhart, their pack has three others bago pa ito. Isa lang ang ibig sabihin non, their pack is really growing. Werewolves haven't outranked Vampires; eventhough they completely outnumber the bloodsuckers.

Naisip niya rin kung bakit hindi sinasama ang population sa pag taas ng rank. Kung ano noon ay dapat ganon rin hanggang ngayon, no creature can outrank another. Kung ano ang pwesto mo doon ka na.

Looking at everyone right now, he saw that. The room was filled with a powerful aura, each representative of a high rank family ay may maibubuga.

It's like seeing the Pyramid come to life.

He came here on behalf of the invitation and his mother's request. Gusto nito na kumpleto sila. He had nothing against Werewolves, maayos naman ang pikikitungo nito sa mga katulad nila.

"Do we have to Mama?" reklamo agad ni Athena nang makita nito ang kanilang pupuntahan.

"Yes." Their mother answered nang hindi sila nililingon.

"I'm out, have fun doing your job my beloved parents" bagot na tugon ni Zeus at lumihis ng direksyon. He heard his mother calling after him ngunit hindi niya ito nilingon. Wala siya sa mood makipag plastikan sa kung sino man.

"Zeus! Over here!"

Nilingon niya ang boses ni Ezra at nakita niya itong kumakaway sa kanya, kasama nito si Enzo at Asher.

Mabilis niyang nilapitan ang mga ito, they're his comfort zone. He'd rather stick to them kaysa sa gumala sa buong party na ito.

Enzo was casually leaning on the wall while flipping his phone, showing no emotion or whatsoever habang ang mga mata naman ni Asher ay nakatuon sa kung sino.

"Stop lusting over Imo, she will claw your eyes out" natatawang saway ni Ezra.

"Imo..." Enzo trailed, searching for who Asher's looking at.

"Imogen Verauca Lockhart," Ezra discreetly pointed at a girl with raven black hair na nasa gitna ng ballroom. Her red dress sticked to her body like a second skin kaya hindi matanggal ni Asher ang mga mata dito.

"Talagang wala kang pinipiling lugar ano?"

"Oh shush" wala sa sariling tugon ni Asher na para bang tinataboy pa si Zeus palayo.

"Not in the mood to do Pureblood stuff?" Ezra asked casually.

"Yep," Zeus nodded. "We're just the same."

Namataan niya ang magulang ng kambal, all of their parents are obliged to go around and greet people. Natural nang mag s-socialize ang mga ito, mabuti sila ay may choice pa. Too bad Gianna didn't have it, naroon ito sa kanyang mga magulang.
