This Is What Happens When You Play With Fire...

Chapter 3: Alexander

"Well, who are you and what do you want? I'm not in the mood for stupid pranks, so I give you 10 seconds to get your ass somewhere where I can see you." I looked at my nails and  feigned nonchalance.

I knew I could afford myself that, as Terry would cover my back. I glanced side ways at her, she was scanning everything around us with unbelivable speed. I saw her eyes widen and instantly knew she found our guest.

I looked up and followed her gaze.

My heart stopped. Well more like skipped a beat. In front of me stood the most gorgeous guy I've ever seen. I'm not kidding. Shoulder lenghth raven black hair with a slight wave, the most clear blue eyes I've ever seen, it was like lookeng into a pool of pure, clear water. There wasn't even one imperfection, his blues were surrounded by thick, long black lashes, perfect mouth set in a half smile... more like a smirk. Perfect nose, jeez I was already envious. I moved my gaze downwards. 

Wow. The boy's got abbs, I'll tell you that. Even though it was cold outside he was wearing a black, body hugging t-shirt. My eyes trailed down and lingered for a few seconds, while my barin noted that he was wearing black jeans, black boots. 

It took my all to keep my mouth from dropping and from saying something stupid... or something like drooling. Goddess, I've never been like this. I sound like a perfect goofy teenager. I've never been a perfect, normal nor goofy. Ever. And I don't intend to be. 

"What are you?" I cut to the chase. He wasn't a vampire, witch nor warevolfe. I haven't felt anything like him before. There was a powerful feeling coming of off him. For the first time in my life I was actually scared. I didn't show it. 

He studied me. "Oh, so there's no 'Hi, How are you?'" he raised one of his perfect eyebrows. 

"What are you?" I repeated with a dead set tone. If he wanted to harm me or Terry I would do everything in my power to kill him and save my family, even if it cost my own life. 

He sighed. "I didn't expect any less, Angel." He smirked.  My blood turned cold. It was just a coincidence. Right? He wouldn't know what my aunty called me...

"Stop calling me that and answer my question." I stood my ground non the less, and my face didn't show the internal turmoil that was going in my head. 

"I am the same as you and I think that nick name suits you very well." he took few steps forward. 

I was confused. I was human, what was he talking about? I was absolutely sure he wasn't human. While we had this exchange I forgot all about Terry, who stood beide me without saing a word. She made her presence known with the exact question that was running through my head. 

"What are you talking about? I'm pretty sure you're not human. So cut the crap. What do you mean you're like her?" Terry looked furious. Well well, I couldn't stop a smile that came to my lips. It was like watching Bambi get angry. The only thing she needed to do is stomp her foot and I would crack up. Thankfully she chose not to do that. 

The stranger looked like he was fighting the same battle trying not to laugh as I. Finally he composed himself enough to answer her question. 

"Hmm... well. How do you know?"

I didn't bother try to hide my confusion.

"What do you mean?"

"How do you know that you're human?" he looked like he was enjoying this. 

"For one, our parents are perfectly human, and we grew up together. I didn't see Serena having craving for blood or howling at the moon. She didn't go around forests collecting flowers either."  Terry rolled her eyes as if this was the most obvious thing in the world. On this I agreed with her. 

"Amen to that. By the way what's your name?" I put in.

"Alexander." He had a full on smile. "And as I heard your's is Serena?" it sounded like there was like a hidden joke somwhere in his question. I only thought that he was nuts. 

"Yes. Now will you finally answer what are you without your stupid riddles?" I was getting impatient. 

"Fine. I'm a god." There was stunned silence. Then Terry and I looked at each other and then we burst out laughing. 

"Oh my goddess! Someone's got high self esteem and self loving personality." Terry chocked out between her laughter. 

"I agree." I said and looked up at him. He just rolled his eyes at us. "No, seriously, what are you?"

"I told you, I'm a greek God. Son of Ares and Aphrodite." he looked totally serious as he said this.

I tried to remember the bit that I learned about Greek mythology.

"Wait, I don't remember that Aphrodite and Aros had any sons named Alexander."

He looked at me like I was stupid. "Do you think they would mention every son and daughter they had over thousands of years?That and I am more or less the youngest.  Seriously I didn't think you would be that dumb." 

"Exuse me. How do you expect us to belive you? And wait a sec, do you want to say that selene is a goddess?" She looked at him like he was compleately and utterly nuts. Once again we agreed on something.

"Yes. Selene is the daughter of Artemis and Hades." He didn't sound too happy saying Hades name. And I wasn't too happy to hear it. 

"I don't belive you." Terry and I said in unison. 

In less than a second Alexander was standing in front of me. I didn't even have time to react as he put his hand on my forehead and everything went black.
