CH.1
200 YEARS LATER: Galway, Ireland
"Go ahead and pray, he isn't listening."
Thaire clicked her pen repeatedly, earning her annoyed looks from the people round her take the test. She glanced around the old looking room. The walls were wood with posters of Roman and greek gods litttered around, one long window was to her. The large rows of tables with students her age all around, most bored, few asleep, all wanting to leave. She kept glancing to her right towards the door. Now eighteen and in her freshman year of college. Chaira thought 'acting normal and blending in' would be their safest bet, and so far she was right. She was learning history of myths at the moment though she was only here for show and the request of her littlest sister. She let her hair fall in her face in pure boredom. Her teacher- Mr.Schowitz was 80 something year old man with so little hair on his head and so much on his face, his beady almost black eyes looked all to excited to explain his course- was droning on and on about the Heavens as he took up their tests.. Then an interesting topic came up- "Who can tell me about the Underworld?"
Mr.Schowitz asked the class which held around thirty people. One girl in the front raised her hand with a smug look, her black bob hair cut resting just past her ears setting her amber eyes. Thaire just narrowed her eyes, the grey flashing a fierce blue waiting for this annoying girls shrill voice.
"Yes, Maddie?" the teacher looked to the girl.
She laughed "The Underworld is ruled by Satan and it is on fire, full of sinners."
Thaire scoffed, "Maybe in your uppity Christian cult."
"Oh, does Miss. Highlights know something for once?" Maddie rolled her eyes and laughed her hyena laugh and sneered.It resembled a pigs oink and a squeak at the same time Thaire winced has she thought back to the few silver streaks in her hair now thanks to her mother's angelic blood that pumped through her veins.
"Be nice Madison, Thaire can you tell us something?"
Thaire nodded "A lot actually. The Underworld is ruled by Hades who has been ruling for millions of years and he is rumored to have had married an angel or goddess as some stories go Persephone or Kore as she was called who was loved by the people dearly. They had three kids. A demon, an angel, and their eldest was an unknown bred. The Hybrid, or the King's beast. She is a topic for another day. When Hades gives up his throne she will have it. The first female to have the throne. And it isn't hot it's cold. There is souls there, everyone ends up going there no matter good or bad though it is separated into sections. And if you go back far enough you will find that Hades and his daughters are at war and have been for years, because The Hybrid is the leader of the rebellion against the King for marrying the witch Flariara who enslaved many of their people unfairly and who butchered half-breeds and destroyed multiple temples of historical importance, trying to erase any memory of the queen before her. At least that is how the myth goes." She said flatly.
Maddie flipped her hair and huffed as the teacher clapped and wrote the topic down.

"I see you know more then you let on Thaire, could Greek be your favorite? I want you all to write a three page essay on this topic. No double spacing. It is important to know the dark side just as much as the light side of your courses -"
A knock on the door interrupted the lesson and a administrator came in with two boys. One was a bleach blonde with tips of rusty brown with his hair ending just above his ears; the other had jet black hair coming to his chin and tussled. Blond glanced around the room, his eyes were dark brown. He reached up and pushed his silver glasses frames up the bridge of his nose; paint stained his jeans as well as his old t-shirt.
The black , messy haired one smirked as he stood beside his companion his bright red eyes flashing mischievously, Thaire noticed he was built for fighting and had scars on his knuckles and spotted a few scars on the base of his neck and along his shoulder blades where she could see, his shirt had a few rips around the sleeves, his jeans ripped at the knees with singes.
Murmurs were instantly heard around the class. Thaire narrowed her eyes at the two and let out a low threatening growl, the boys felt different to her then the rest of the class. The administrator clapped her hands twice for the class to be quite. "I want you to meet Orbus and Abunter Traitre. Transferring here from California. And I would like Ms. Shade," The admin glared at the students in disdain "as the schools vice president, I want you to show them around since Ms.Lawton isn't here today"
Thaire frowned and the class broke out in groans. She got up and walked to the front. The new boys noticed how most of the eyes of the class followed her but not making any sound. She didn't smile when she stood in front of them all she did was look them up and down as if judging them. She crossed her arms over her chest, taping her filed nails on her arm. The admin had left and Thaire walked to the door and signaled for the boys to follow her.The blonde pushed his glasses up his face and was the first to speak. "I am Orbus, by the way." Thaire stopped.
"That must make Mr.Tool here Abunter then, I am Thaire."
Abunter smiled smugly but she didn't smile back. "I see you're the dark and dangerous type." He said flirtatious. She rolled her eyes.
"I only have a blood type sweet pea. I am not the dark type. Though I can be the break your nose if you keep being a narcissistic moron type." She smiled humorlessly and whirled around lettign her hair hit him the face and kept walking.
Abunter looked astonished and Orbus laughed.
"That's a first, lets play." the shocked boy whispered, smirking.
As they walked down what seemed like hundreds of hallways and passed thousands of classrooms, Thaire listed off their purposes, never missing a beat. They have been walking round for close to four hours and there was only one class left for the day. Abunter tried to flirt but failed.
"Are you even listening to me?" Thaire groaned as Abunter tried to put his arm around her again.
"I got lost in your eyes." He winked as Orbus facepalmed.
Thaire elbowed him in the gut and moved ahead of them.
"One moment boys." She took her phone and made a quick two minute call, looking back at the boys every few seconds. She came back and sighed as she ran her hand through her hair.
"Alright, you two will come with me. I'm going to drive you to where you will stay." She said and boys shared a look.
"We already have a place." Orbus said shyly.
"To bad, I can smell the other-worldly being on you." she said making Abunter let out a growl. "We can't let you two just go off on your own."
"We aren't going with you." Abunter stepped forward and Thaiee shook her head.
"Fine" she waved her hands three times in a circular motion and snapped her fingers. The boys looked confused until they grew suddenly tired and felt pressure in their heads. Orbus fell down and closed his eyes. Abunter was trying to fight it but soon all he could see before he was swallowed by the darkness was Thaire and a reddish/orangish hair boy glaring at them.
