Semi Gods [Seventeen apply fic]

Joshua

My heart was still itching with guild. I had been acting horrible towards Emily. She was still new to all of this and instead of helping her get used to everything, I only made it harder on her. She looked so hurt, when I made fun of her name. I obviously went too far.

It's just... I looked at my right wrist. Two years ago, you could have still seen a thin but long scar there. A mark that was supposed to remind me, what kind of semi god I was. It symbolized the worst day of my life and the peak of me getting bullied. So even after all this time, the skin around the faded line seemed to tingle whenever I was reminded of that day. And right now it burned like hell. Maybe because the burn was mixed with guild.

"Hey, are you even listening?" Woozi nudged me with his foot.

"Y-Yeah", I looked up to see the guy's eyes on me. Woozi, Hoshi and Jun were all from the camp. Jun as one of the star kids of the great three, was more than popular and known around the campers. Woozi and Hoshi however, more belonged to my category. Which would be the unpopular one. I was only the pretty boy and Hoshi, as Demeter's son and the guy who ran around with a pink, glittery wand did not really have a fan club either. Woozi on the other hand had at least a few friends.

He was a small, angry kid when he came to camp, threatening everyone to kill them if they would touch him or get closer than a meters distance to him. The only one who dared talk to him was Seungcheol and he was awarded with a huge bruise and half a thousand splinters, thanks to the guitar Woozi smashed over him.

Normal people would have stopped trying to get along with someone who attacked them like that, but Seungcheol was probably the most loving and determined kid. As the son of Hephaistos, he build Woozi a metal guitar that somehow sounded as soft and warm as a normal wooden one but could as well be used as a deathly weapon. Exactly that infamous guitar was now leaning against the couch Woozi and I sat in.

Across from us were Mingyu and Seungkwan, two very present people. The one because he was nearly two meters tall, according to Woozi, and the other because he seemed to scream or sing every single of his words. Next to them were Jun and a Chinese guy named Minghao. And then there was Hoshi who immediately knocked it off with Seungkwan. The two seemed to have a competition going on about who was funnier.

"So Josh, is it true?" Hoshi looked at me expectantly.

"Is what true?" did I miss something?

"Listening my ass", Woozi murmured.

"That you have a crush on my aunty", Seungkwan whisper-shouted.

"What your aunt? Ew, no", what the hell?

"What's wrong with you Seungkwan, don't say it that way!" Jun pushed him of the couch.

"What are you guys talking about?"

"Hyun", Minghao butted in. I could swear this was his third word since we left Olympus.

"Her name's Emily".

"Oh, so you do like her", Hoshi concluded.

"What?" my eyes automatically shot to Jun. Did he tell them?

Right after the fatal dinner, where Hera accepted Emily as her daughter and Chiron first told us about our mission, I caught some of my half-sisters cornering Emily and kicking and pushing her. They even made fun of her and called her names. I was about to fight them off, make them stop, when a hand held me back.

"Don't", Jun stood behind me, stopping me from breaking my stupid sister's necks. "It's just gonna get you both in more trouble. Do you want to repeat, what happened two years ago?"

"I am not gonna let her have to fight them alone. Nothing would have happened if I would have had someone with me back then. I do not want her to go through the same shit I had to".

"But you aren't going to change anything about it", he nodded to the Aphrodite girls, "They are just going to be even harder on you two. The beauty boy who thinks he is the strongest knight and the illegitimate child of the marriage goddess, sounds like a hilariously good story to me".

"But I can't just let them hurt her", I looked at him pleadingly, "What can I do?"

"You'll find a way, just don't let them know it's you", and with that he left. I stood there frozen, staring at my sisters backs. How could I get them away from Emily?

I looked around, trying to find something, anything to give me an idea. And then I found it. A few meters away from me was a muddy part of the field. I scooped some up and threw a handful at my sisters.

"Ah!", "What the hell!?", "Ew! This is disgusting!", "Who dared doing this to us!?" Their screams where like music in my ears. But when one of them turned around, I think it was Bella, I dogged behind a cabin. When I looked up again, Emily was gone. And the Satan of beauty and her horrible clan were angrily searching for her.

"So?" Seungkwan leaned closer to me.

"Oh shut up!"

"He so does like her", Mingyu giggled.

"Oh shut up, giant. You can't even keep your eyes from her friend", Woozi sneered.

Mingyu turned red immediately and jumped up, probably to prove how much he is not in love with the girl. But the second he stood, the bus made an emergency stop and Mingyu fell forward. His long, heavy limbs covered Woozi and me. He knocked out all air out of my body that kid really had to stop eating.

"Get the fuck off me! You damn Org! And get your smelly hair out of my face!" Woozi flipped out and started kicking and punching around himself.

"Argh", Mingyu groaned in pain, "Stop it you dwarf! It hurts. Au. Seriously Woozi stop, I still need those body parts. No, no! Not the hair".

Woozi had pushed Mingyu of us and was pulling on his hair and arms.

"Guys?" I shot up when I heard Emily's voice, it was filled with fear. "Where are we? I can't see anything out there. Are we supposed to be here?"

I looked around, the light in the bus had gone on, while the outside had turned pitch-black. The girls stood at the windows and tried to see outside. Hoshi and Seungkwan squeezed through them to get a glimpse as well. No one seemed to have a clue where we were or whether this was our original destination.

"We are there", my head shoot to the back of the bus. On the last bench, far away from everyone else sat the last member of our team. It was the guy who had announced our departure at the dinner. Thorough the whole drive he had not spoken to anyone of us, or even looked up from his phone. Now he was about to get his bag and out of the bus.

We all just stared at him in confusion. He stopped on the last step of the exit and turned around, "Aren't you coming?"
