Worlds Collide (crossover fanfiction)

Chapter 3

Kia sat on her bed, slouching and grouching. "I need new friends." Hearing Thea, she yelled "POODLE? WHAT THE BLOODY HELL ARTHELLA?" She simply used the shadows to fling open the door, and shouted "I DON'T NEED TO FIND MY MOM THANKS!" Frankly, that was her excuse not to get out from under the covers. Her hair was a mess and her makeup... That didn't need talking about. They were solely there to keep her dark eye circles under control.

Alistair gasped, both in pain and in shock. He didn't even need to find the centaur to find his best friend! Instead, he found a b****y goddess who almost got him killed. "Kit?" He whispered, peering into the dark cabin.

"Kia, I heard that. I'm an excellent friend, shut up. Mr Alistair, I heard you call me a bitch, and I didn't kill you. I control my own strength perfectly well. There's a huge power difference in shooting to disarm, shooting to knock unconscious and shooting to kill. I'm not deaf, nor am I stupid. And you're also welcome." Thea cracked her knuckles. "Plus, how am I the bitch? You're the one that decided to put your stick to my throat when I directly told you where Kia was!" She pointed at Kia. "I know who his mother is, but I'll let him find out himself. Now, please, teach your friends some manners. I may be immortal, but I will be immortally pissed at this guy if he keeps up that attitude. You may be amazing at your stick waving, but here, we fight dirty. We're the Greeks. And you're lucky I got to you first. Otherwise you would have been charred to a demigod-kebab by Peleus."

Alistair fumed. "Watch it, Goddess." He waved his wand in her face. "It's called a wand, not a stick. Only Seamus was ever a baboon brandishing a stick." There was literally steam pouring out of his ears. "I'm also friends with Lysander and Lorcan Scamander, and they taught me how to deal with dragons." He scoffed. "Fighting dirty? That's for the Slytherins, not to be house-ist."

Kia finally popped out of her hiding place, a scowl on her face. "Thea, leave us. I need to talk to Alistair alone. No dirty tricks- go make out with your boyfriend or something, Arthella."

She turned to Alistair, shrugging. "I have no idea how Dom copes with her... I applaud him."

Alistair remained gaping at Kitana. "Merlin's hairy undershirt, what happened to you, Kit?" True, he hadn't seen her in years, but she looked so different from what she did in her childhood. Her short black curls were gone, replaced by long black strands in a messy french braid. He didn't mind that- she looked beautiful in anything.

"Numero uno, mi amiga, Dom and I are not dating. Numero dos, you two would make a pretty cute couple. Numero tres, have you not seen Peleus? He is a beast, and he's only about 5 years old." Thea grinned. "And I can hear your thought Alistair. Adorable." She pointed at the disgruntled Kia again, "he said you looked beautiful in anything. And may I just add one thing before I go, Selwyn? The world is tough. We fight to survive. We play dirty. Deal with it."

Kia and Alistair both turned bright shades of red, Kia's a little less obvious. Times she was glad for the tan. "Shut it, Carter. You and Dom make a cute pair yourselves, just ask the Aphrodite kids. Admit it, you wanna snog him..." Kia said in a sing-song voice. Alistair chuckled. He missed her occasionally terrible sense of humor.

"That is so gross." Thea turned green just to show her point. "I made Dom promise that he wouldn't try to kiss me or I would castrate him. Also, it's just Drew. Piper understands why. So why don't you stop matchmaking until you get all the facts or this little thing will blow up through the entirety of America and Europe, and your little wizard friends back in London will find out about this." She snapped her fingers. "I can stop your heart from beating without moving a muscle. Both of you, quit it."

Kia stared at Thea oddly. "Wizard friends? Huh? And please, stop with the 'stop your heart beating' thing. That's Low-key Loki's job." She shook her head. "Poor Sam." Alistair glanced at her questioningly, and she shrugged. "Long story."

Thea groaned, and just to illustrate her point once again, held Alistair frozen in time. "He'll thaw. Just wait about 5 minutes. He'll be fine, just pissed. I'm off to go find Lincoln, he's been looking for me." Thea disappeared into her silver mist again, and arrived in San Francisco. Time to find her friend.

Kia poked Alistair experimentally, and like Thea said he didn't move at all. She groaned. "If you decide to kill Thea, Alice, I'm all for it." She jabbed him roughly again, and he swayed a bit. "Bloody goddesses with their hairbrushes and stupid tempers."

Dom shadow travelled to the Hades Cabin, feeling the disturbance -and also since he slept there. "Erm, what in Hades? Hey Kiki, am I interrupting?"

Kia rolled her eyes. "Blame your little girlfriend, Butterboy. She stopped my friend in time." Alistair didn't even look like he was breathing at all. "FIVE MINUTES ARE YOU UP YET?"

Dom clicked his fingers, and waves of darkness rolled off him. "I know, Thea has her cold fury. But given what she's been through, I don't blame her. That's why I steer clear of girls like her." Dom chuckled. "So she froze your new boyfriend in time, huh? She froze Max in time once, when he was insulting her knife's hilt. Max was frozen for an hour, put on top of the Big House."

Kia facepalmed. "Why is everyone insisting he's my boyfriend?" As she said the last word, Alistair moved again, gasping for breath. "Boyfriend?"

Dom immediately held his sword to his neck. "Aww, seems like new guy has something to say for himself, hmm? Who let him in? Never seen him around, but those eyes explain it all."

Kia looked up thoughtfully. "Actually, I have no idea. Thea brought him to me."

Alistair glared at Dom. "I Apparated in." He didn't know the black-haired boy, but he knew enough to tell that the dark aura wasn't good. "By the way, you look like a Death Eater."

Dom looked genuinely confused. "Why would I want to eat my dad? What's the appy thing you do?"

Alistair glanced at Kia, and she shrugged. "I have no idea what a Death Eater is either. But his dad is Thanatos, God of Death." Alistair froze. So these were the demigods. What had he gotten himself mixed up in?

Dom gave a bow to Kia. "My lady, daughter of Pluto. How may I serve you?" Dom gave a smirk. "I don't really talk like that anymore, so that's good. Yes, my father is Death himself, and honestly, he's a pretty chill guy. Not much reaping."

At that moment, Alistair saw red. Who did 'Dom' think he was? Kia laughed. "Chillax, Alice! He's just a friend! We share a cabin with Nico Di Angelo, he's my half brother. At the moment, he should be off somewhere snogging Will Solace. They make me sick."

"Technically, she's my boss. Dad serves her father, the God of the Underworld, so I am usually in debt to her. But, thankfully I've been able to tear myself from that bad habit." Dom gave a mock salute to the green eyed wizard. "I'm sure Hella knows what Death Eaters are." A screaming voice yelled I don't stop using me as an excuse! In his head, and he coughed. "Nevermind. She doesn't. I bet you didn't know your gf was the child of the literal Satan. Wait, he's more Lucifer than Satan, Satan is Pop Tart."

Alistair looped an arm around Kia protectively, drawing Kia close to him. "I always knew she was special. And don't call me Alice."

Dom created a shadow heart, and then duplicated them, until the shadow hearts whirled around the couple. "I need to show this to Leah. She'll spread the word of this." He took a mock photo of it, and then sent the shadows to the Aphrodite Cabin. Kia thrust a hand in an attempt to stop the shadows, but for once, Dom was faster.

Kia swore. "What the bloody hell was that?" Alistair looked panicked.

"Trouble. Come on, let's head in." Kia grabbed Alistair's hand, dragging into the darkness of her cabin.
