The End is Near

Chp-3 part 2

     Hi readers! I'm so sorry for updating so late. College Applications have been torture on my energy. But here's another chapter to hold you over till i get everything together k?

    Angel and Rosette decided to fight each other as warm up as Celeste, Carmen,

and I did our usual dance class stretches.

        “So what’s the plan for today?” asked Charlotte while rubbing off her black

eyeliner and bloody, red lipstick.

    Personally, I don’t think that any of us actually thought about her ever becoming

part of our group or even a goth, but it does suit her. She was the only cheerleader

to have black hair and refused to dye it blond even after two years of the team telling

her to. She said that her hair was black naturally and she wouldn’t do anything to

change it and not for anyone. If the world ended, I would keep her soul next to my

bedside with the other girls just for that reason. Original people like her deserve to

be preserved and not go to heaven or hell, and kept hidden from the evil of the

world.

        “Well Mistress Solstice?” asked Angel, Rosette, and Celeste simultaneously

        “Oh sorry guys, i guess i zoned out for a minute. Um...well i guess that we

need to run laps around the track back in the woods and by the time we get out i

should have thought of something else to do for today,” I said scratching the back of

my head

        “You better be glad we all like cardio because other girls would think you were

crazy for making us run in those woods for that long and jumping over trees and

rocks,” Celeste joked while pulling up her hair and sliding on her new balances.

    I figured that i could practice the fluidity of my moments better in the woods and

with my ballet slippers on.

    We all got ready and stopped at the end of the woods before going in.

        “Alright ladies this is the object of the run...Sy, Thorn, Celeste, Carmen, and

Orion are coming with em through the fallen trees and the small river through the

left entrance to practice jumping and balance. Angel and Rosette, you go through

the middle and use the trees to run to the center and back so you can work your

arms and legs. Anna-Nicole and Sy, you two take the right and while you run think of

some new songs and beats for some dances...I’m feeling something between Hard

Rock and Alternative this week.”

        “Yes my mistress,” they all replied before disappearing into the woods.

    I ran in first and then the rest of my team, the reason behind it was that i felt

something else in there besides the occasional deer and other small animals that

live in the fallen trees. I feel a need to protect my girls no matter what, even though i

still want the world destroyed. I mean even my mother had me to treasure, so why

can’t I have something i value as well? At first it seemed normal enough, i mean as

normal as fallen trees and darkness can get i guess. I could hear Celeste and

Thorn catching up to me fast. I guess they’re getting better at being lighter on their

feet too because i actually had to try to hear their footsteps this time around. Usually

they’re so heavy footed that i could hear them miles away probably. Angel and

Rosette were still easy to hear, but being both fighters i guess i couldn’t ask for light

feet. As i kept running i heard an extra set of footsteps and ran into the forbidden

sector of the forest to see if the foot steps were following me and it turns out that

they were. I jumped into a tree, twisted my body back, and rocketed myself back to

the origin of the foot steps.

    I was caught in the strong arms of a man. He smelled like cinnamon and other

spices that made my mouth water.

        “Oh hey Solstice...you know i’ve been trying to catch up with you ever since

you started running. It was hard not to use my powers though cause your friends

are getting better at running after you and maintaining that same speed.”

    It only took me a moment to know who that was. I knew that it was too good to be

true that he would get bored with me quickly.

        “Irius, what in Zeus’ kingdom do you want from me? I’m training my team today

and if they beat me back to the exit i will never hear the end of it.”

        “I just wanted to take you to the beach after this so maybe you’ll hate me less.”

    I rolled my eyes, but agreed nonetheless. I’m such a soft person when it comes

to certain stuff. I really got kill Otamee for making me this soft.
