Midnight Storm (Ateez)

Part 2

Celestial wraps her arms around herself, the rain drenching her as she walks home. She didn't even think of taking her car, she just wants the truth. After hearing Hongjoongs and Mingis conversation she left, ignoring the calls from her brother and friends.

Her feet hurt, but the ache in her heart overpowered any physical pain she felt. "Celestial honey? Why are you out here when it's storming?!" Looking over she sees Amber and Timothy standing on the front porch, phone in hand. Seonghwa must have called them.

"Who are my parents?" Amber and Timothy share a look before sighing, "Selene Goddess of the moon and Poseidon God of the sea."

"Ok so if that's true why didn't they want me..?" Her voice cracked, tears started to flood her vision. She could feel the rain lightening up and hear feet slam against the concrete sidewalk, seeing her brother out the corner of her eye. She looks up to see Seonghwa soaked from head to toe, three vehicles pulling up the the house a few minutes later one being hers.

"Your mother did want you sweetheart she really did but... your father was scared you would fulfill the prophecy. The prophecy states that one of the big 3 Zeus, Poseidon, or hades would have a child by the Moon Goddess. A child strong enough to overthrow any of them." As Amber spoke Celestial saw everyone step out of the vehicles, San was driving hers.

"So you mean to tell me he didn't want me because he didn't want to lose his thrown!" Seonghwa rushes to her side in an instant when he sees her knees give out, the pain in her chest growing greater than she would like.

"Selfish bastard." She giggles slightly at her brothers words, "You're not alone sis, soon after you left Faith, Yunho, and I learned that our lovers are also the sons of Gods and Goddesses. I was a bit upset that he kept this from me but I got over it when I knew it would be harder for you."

"We can take you to our fortress if you would like? It'll only be us there because we're pure bloods, the Demi-Gods are located a few miles from us." She looked up to see San crouching behind Seonghwa, a gentle smile gracing his face.

When she looks at Seonghwa for his opinion he has a small smile on his face, her brother nods his head once before kissing her forehead helping her stand. "Lets get you two cleaned up, we can't have either of you getting sick now can we?" Timothy reaches for her and Seonghwa, guiding them upstairs and to their rooms to shower and get into some warm dry clothes.

Once Celestial is all dressed she grabs her duffle bag to pack some clothes and her necessities, jumping a little when there's a knock on her door. She sighs before opening the door, "Oh hey San."

"Hey I just came to see if you needed any help, also you'll be riding with me if that's ok?" She nods her head while she grabs her bag and favorite blanket, the black blanket that mirrored the night sky with constellations all over it.

"We have a cabin set up for you, it will take a few hours to get there though." Smiling she walks behind San as they go out the house, she's pulled into a hug by Amber and Timothy, telling her how much they love her and will miss her before letting her go.

San takes her bag from her as she gets settled into the passenger seat, draping her blanket across her lap after buckling her seatbelt. "So this fortress, do you like it?" San smiles his dimple smile when he's settled and puts the car in drive, "I love it! It's located by a lake so you can swim if you want, oh and I can show you my work station!"

"Work station?"

"My mother is Hera and my father is Hephaestus. My father is know as the only ugly God but he is mainly know as the workman of immortals and God of fire." San explains as he continues to drive, making sure to keep his eyes on the road.

"Tell me more, what about Hongjoongs parents and Mingis and Wooyoungs?" Celestial is full of excitement as she turns to look at him.

"Well we'll start with Mingi, the son of Hades and Persephone. He's a mix of them, he has his fathers temper but his mothers kind heart."

"Hongjoong the son of Apollo and Athena, he is the wisest of us. He loves going out in the day or to spar in the day because the sun acts like an energy source for him."

"Wooyoung the son of Zeus and Aphrodite, he used to be quiet the flirt before he met Faith. The reason it stormed so randomly is actually because of both of him, you're his cousin and he didn't like you being hurt."

She nods her head as she takes all this new information in, she was baffled to say the least. Here she was thinking she was going to continue to live a normal life, graduate with a degree in marine biology but that's not how it seems like it's going to go.

"Is Mingi also my cousin?"

San nods, "So is Jongho, his grandfather is your mothers brother. You're not related to anyone but those three!" San clears his threat before turning to look at her seeing her wear the necklace made his heart flutter.

"I uh I actually made the necklace you're wearing."

"Wait seriously?!" San nods, chuckling at the look of amazement that graces her soft features. "My father was assigned to do it but he wanted me to, the necklace was asked to be made by your mother actually."

Looking down Celestial reaches a hand up to grab her necklace, smiling slightly, she looks out the window seeing the moon light their way to an unknown destination for Celestial. Sighing in content as she closes her eyes, Sans soft voice filling the car as he unknowingly sings her to sleep.
