Demigods

Chapter One - Love's arrival

Narrator POV

Kim Taehyung was running, running towards the safe house, running away from the angry shopkeeper whom he stole from. . He held a couple loafs of bread , 2 lighters, and 4 knives. His voice was so powerful that he could make anyone listen to him once he says the word. So , he just waltzed into the store and asked the lady at the counter if he could take some stuff for free; the lady was mesmerised by his voice and looks so she just immediately agreed. She also passed him a slip of paper that had her number on it, which Taehyung thought that it was completely not necessary to give it to him.  ' I don't even have a phone.' He had thought, remembering the day where his transparent blue phone was crushed by a huge truck. He sighed, and continued running till he saw the safe house right at the edge of the Hudson River. He used to live in Seoul, but moved here in New York after his dad's business got international. Then his dad disowned him, leaving him with only a backpack filled with necessities and another with a sleeping bag and some food. Great life. 

" Oi! Jungkook, are you there?"  Taehyung shouted as he entered the cosy house. It is not really a house but depending on the situation they were in , it was good enough to call home.

" Yes  Hyung?"Jeon Jungkook peeked out of his sleeping bag, his large electric blue eyes stared at Taehyung as he entered the transportable house. Jungkook's mouth watered as he saw the bread; it had been so long since he had eaten, after he was found one day ago by Taehyung, who happened to be walking along the alley he hid in when Taehyung saw him. 

" I got some bread for us, and got a few extra knives for your self defence. One lighter is for you to make a fire in case we get seperated or you get lost. " Taehyung replied, pointing to each of the items. Jungkook stretches leisurely before clambering out of his light blue sleeping bag and went to wash his face. The year is 2118, and the entire Earth has changed. Singapore is floating above the seas to avoid rising sea waters. New York is noisier and bigger than ever, having extended the state by a few islands. Technology has drastically improved, but the criminal rates have increased. Phones are now transparent , and you can chose what colour the screen is. However, in the Greek world, which they don't know about, more monsters are being created, and lesser demigods are produced and brought to camp Half- Blood, where Chiron the wise old centaur is in charge of . No one has seen a child of Aphrodite, Zeus , Demeter, or Athena in a very Long time, since that awful quest went wrong. The seven who were part of the quest were found dead in America, seven states seve n bodies, all murdered by their parents's elements. Their parents have never been the same. Yes, some of them moved on but the rest were too stricken with grief that they couldn't let go. 

Suddenly , they  heard a voice outside. Jungkook  grabbed a knife and Taehyung did the same.The latter carefully opened the door and said loud and clear" State your name and purpose of visit" , commanding the two teenagers outside to comply. 

" I am Kim Seokjin, and my mentor has sent me to retrieve you, before the other group does. "

" I am Jung Hoseok, and my purpose is the same as Seokjin's"

Taehyung raised his eyebrows skeptically, while Jungkook checked  the back of his memory. The name Chiron was  very familiar with him, like he knew of it. Jungkook edged closer to Taehyung, and the latter put an arm around him protectively. As a 15 year old, Jungkook did not look intimidating at all, but rather he looked cute. Seok jin smiled, and told them that there was nothing to worry about. Hoseok smiles at Taehyung's protectiveness. Finally, Taehyung relented and he told Jungkook to pack his things. Seokjin heaved a sigh of relief , seeing that things were not going tough after all. Boy, was he so wrong.

After packing their things, Taehyung pressed a button on the wall of the house and it collapsed into a MacBook sized rectangle. They walked through the forest, and it seemed that Seokjin new the way really well, because he occasionally paused at a plant and whispered something to it. After he was satisfied with the reply, he continued walking. Jungkook thought he was mental, he has never seen someone talk to plants before . As they walked to the other side of the forest, Jungkook heard something coming from the bushes. He told Taehyung, and Taehyung instinctively intertwined their hands together. Jungkook blushes, and looks away so the elder could not see the pink tint in his cheeks and the red creeping up his ear. Suddenly, Hoseok stopped, causing Seokjin to turn around and pause too,
