Olympian Blood

Chapter 4

Artemis

Once the door opened we were introduced to our new home and it took our breath away. The lights in the living room were on and from what I could see Apollo nailed the interior design. Despite the wood shown on the outside of the house, the inside walls were made of stone rocks, they were grey and ashy. I guided my hand on the wall and I was correct, you could feel the different curves and cracks of the rocks. In the middle of the room was a brown leather couch with a wide white fuzzy rug in front of it. Surrounding the couch were identical armchairs and what looked to be bean bag chairs! In the center was a wooden coffee table that had a basket of snacks on top. My eyes then shifted to what looked to be a glass wardrobe but taking a closer look I could see that it was full of books! Beside it was a weaved basket of so many blankets and pillows it was flowing out of the basket.

We walked further into the house spinning around to take it all in.

"You know I honestly didn't think this would turn out so well but....damn I'm good," Apollo whispered almost to himself.

There was a flat-screen mounted to the wall in front of the couch that I didn't see before. A shelf was underneath it just above the fireplace that had frames on it. Curious I went and picked up one of the frames gasping at the picture inside. It was the three of us, the picture we took when we first when on tour! As I walked down the row of frames there were more pictures of us, even from when we were younger.

'How did Apollo get all of these?' I thought.

We never had a house for ourselves before so this was all new to us. When we were younger we hopped from motel to motel just barely getting by, but we cherished what we had which was each other. So having these pictures here...it just showed how far we've come.

"I saved them throughout the years, I knew one day everything we've gone through would strengthen us in the long run," Apollo said from behind me putting his hand on my shoulder.

"Haha no fair, you can see the future," I huffed out as I placed the frame back where I found it.

"Ugh y'all always use that against me can't it be that sometimes I just have good ideas?" Apollo whined.

"I guess you could, but seriously Apollo... thank you," I said turning to face him.

"Hey don't thank me yet you haven't seen the rest of the house! Especially your room!" Apollo shouted excitedly.

"Yeah you should really check out the kitchen, its fully stocked," Athena mumbled coming back into the living room with a bag of Hot Cheetos that she was stuffing her face with.

"You know one day your gonna get heartburn from eating those things," I said scrunching my nose up slightly.

"Meh at least then I won't have to hear you guys saying I have a frozen heart anymore," Athena mumbled shrugging her shoulders.

"Tsk, come on let's check out our rooms then we can check out the basement!" Apollo demanded, waving his arms around like a weirdo.

Once we reached upstairs Apollo took us to each of our rooms. His was first it represented him perfectly, the walls were brick and painted dark blue but it had white paint splattered everywhere. His bed comforter was a nice space gray and a gray and white desk sat in the corner of the room. What really caught my eye was the 10 different guitars that lined against the wall. You could really see Apollos wild nature by looking at his room, I could tell he put a lot of thought into this house.

Next was Athena's room it was purple and white, it honestly looked like we walked into the Apple store....and also Build-a-Bear. There were three computers that took up her desk along with a flat-screen bigger than the one for the living room built into the wall. On the walls were pictures of design models of guns and weapons. One frame that hung just above her bed I recognized as the blueprint layout of her first-ever gun. I was almost surprised there weren't any weapons in the room itself that was until Apollo showed us her closet and behind a rack of clothes was, sure enough, weapons to supply at least a small army. It's amazing how a girl with the power to materialize any kind of weapon can go from complete badass to a stuffed animal addict in a matter of seconds. Because there she was in her bed that was covered in stuffed animals looking as if she was in heaven.
