Olympian Blood

Chapter 22

Artemis

The days slowly passed and it was finally time to go to the Phoenix Wolf Pack. These past three days have consisted of a normal routine. Wake up, head to the hospital to work with Mrs. Mary, heal some new wound on Serena or Athena, and then have dinner with Aaron.

Mrs. Mary has started to practice walking two days ago, she's a bit wobbly but has managed to take three steps holding onto her support rails. Though she's beginning to get a bit frustrated with herself, which is causing her to take it out on me. It started sometime yesterday with an eye roll at my encouraging words and some huffs when I would ask her to try again when she stumbled.

I wasn't surprised though I expected this from her condition. With her mental state being weak, she either doesn't think she can do this or thinks it should be an easy thing to do and doesn't understand why she can't. Either way, she's really beating herself up over it, but I plan on standing by her through this process. I know she's just a nice woman who has been damaged from her condition and just wants to get back to normal. Even though I understand this I will keep pushing her, she needs this not only for her self but for her family.

Maybe someone should remind her of that.

Aaron and I's late-night talks have been...fun. They're always filled with laughter and talking with him makes me happy.

So far I've learned that his birthday is January 1st making him a Capricorn. He has a fear of birds, claiming their flying devils. All because he fell asleep in the forest before and woke up to 5 birds sleeping on him. From then on he swears they thought he was dead and was getting ready to eat him. I thought it was hilarious, I told him birds are attracted to warm auras, so it was his fault for being such a kind soul. Of course, he said no and to keep the flying rats away from him.

Lastly, I learned he loves poetry and reading, but that was obvious from his library of an office.

We came up with what we would say to Alpha Shawn and have their housing ready for their stay, we were pretty confident in our plan.

We planned on leaving early in the morning after breakfast today.

I was cooed from my sleep upon hearing my name being called.

"Artemisss" I heard the voice say.

"Artyyy wake uppp" I heard the voice I knew all too well as Apollo whine.

I groaned and felt his face right in front of me.

I rolled onto my other side before mumbling.

"Noooo get out!"

"But I really need to talk to you!" Apollo said pulling at my covers.

"Go talk to Athena!" I grumbled out, putting the pillow over my head.

"I can't, she's asleep.," he said in a duh tone.

"Apollo! I'm asleep!" I said kicking my legs under the covers.

"Umm no your not your talking to me," He said happily.

I lifted my head and glared at him. "Get out," I said firmly.

"Nope." He said before falling onto my back.

"Apollo get offff!" I whined trying to get him off.

"Why are you so sleepy anyway? Up too late talking with your little crushhh. You know for someone not claiming him as-" Apollo said but got cut off by the pillow I swung right in his face.

"Shut it!" I yelled.

"Aww don't worry I'm sure just about, let's see...everyone sees that your falling...hard Sis." He said smirking.
