I'm finally going back home. When I come in my parents are there but I don't see my brother. I great my family that's here. I go to my room and hear voices from the training room. But when I look in all my cousins except for a few are here. I hear clicks coming from down the hall with voices. Everyone else in the room scrambles to look like they've been doing something all this time. I stand so that when the door opens I'll be behind it. The door opens and the first people I see are 2 kids. Then I see the demigods that went on the quest. Lutenit Grace is here. John and Maria come in blocking my view of someone else's. The hybrids aren't here. I wonder where they are. The clicking stops and so do Maria and John.
"New trainees. Jacob, you're staying but anyone else should probably leave." John says. Everyone who could left but lowered their heads at the person I can't see. I decide that I'll just go up to my room and see if Hunter is in his. When I get to the floor it's deserted. Where is he? I check the entire castle except the places I've already been. It's been hours but the people in the training room are still there. A good number of them are speaking titan and the only other language is English. I ignore it though and go to the throne room. I'm just standing in the room when Tartarus and Gaia come in.
"You're here. Good. We're having a meeting." Tartarus says then waves his hand. I forfeited my throne when I chose to stay on Olympus. Even so, I get a chair.
Everyone's here except for Maria, Jacob, John, the new kids, the twins and Hunter. The twins come in and take their seats but the other's aren't here yet. Maria, John and the kids show up.
"Where's Astrlee and Jacob?" Tartarus asks Maria and John.
"Jacob tried to mess up the kids training so Astrlee's yelling at him." Maria explains. Hunter is an outstanding trainer but wouldn't have the powers of Oceanus kids. Everyone hears the same clicking sound from earlier and 2 voices from down the hall. Everyone stands up and shorty after the 2 boys come in. I involuntarily gasp when I see Hunter using crunches. I quickly cover my mouth. Luckily no one heard me and the 2 at the door went to sit.
Flashback
Aiden and I are sitting in our room when there's a knock on the door. I open it to see a 3 year old Hunter with a big cut on his forehead, bruises on
his neck, arms and what little I can see of his chest, blood soaking through his shirt in some places, blood staining his pant legs and he looks terrified. I pick him up and he whimpers. I notice that his chest is heaving and he's wheezing."What happened?" I ask him and close the door. He just shakes his head against my shoulder. Aiden sees him and rushes over. "Hunter, did someone in the castle do this?" I ask and he hesitantly nods. "Who?" He shakes his head. I sigh knowing he's not going to say anything tonight so I lay him down on my bed. "Go to sleep. You'll feel better in the morning." I tell him trying to keep my own fear and worry out of my voice. He's still wheezing and looks really scared. I lay down beside him on the bed and try to comfort him. Who would do this? After a few minutes he's still terrified so I start humming a lullaby that mom used to sing. He starts calming down and eventually falls asleep. I move so that Aiden can heal him.
"Who would do this to him?" Aiden asks.
"I don't know. He said it was someone in the castle. All the guards and servants love him. He's to young. He's going to think he did something wrong. He's going to change so this doesn't happen again. For all we know he'll never talk again." I tell him. Aiden uses his powers to heal him and I can hear the bones snapping and popping back into place.
"Why would he come here? Why not go to mom or father?" Aiden asks.
"What if one of them did this?" I ask him surprised but suspicious. It makes sense.
