Me and Horus walkled into the dorm.

"......It's Terry."

"HEY ELLY IM BACK!"

I stopped in the doorway to the kitchen. The guy "Terry", Im guessing thats his name, was standing by the table, looking like he just got out of a fight. The girls were holding back, I could tell. Ususally they would throw the guys out before they even got in..

"He's kinda cute..."

Thats was Mitj. She thinks EVERY guy she meets is cute. Unforutuently, she has another personality that will KILL YOU if your not careful. I should know. Mitj wsa wearing a white dress that she awlays wore when she was "nice" Mitj. Her blonde hair was in a ponytail drapped over her left shoulder.

Horus walked over Dehlila. She looked at him nervously. At that point I knew that she also had no idea this was gonna happen.

Elly finally reliazed that I was back.

"Good your back."

"Jeez, with all that worry over the phone, I thought you where gonna scould me...."

"Uhh yeah, sorry, Class Was kinda long today."

"We should probably get him to the hospital, by the look of those injuries"

This time it was Dee. She's one of the more level headed ones, but you still dont want to get on her bad side. She was in her doctors uniform (Guess she's just geettin ready to head down to the hospital).

Elly let out a sigh.

"OK, lee you staying here.."

"But..."

ELLY gave me "the look" and I shut my mouth. I really didnt want ojoin the new guy in the hospital...

D, Elly and Mitj escorted "Terry" to the hospital. The rest of the girls headed off to their respective night classes.

Hours and Dehlila stayed behind. After a few moments Dehlila spoke.

"What the **** are our parents thinking????"

She was obviously enraged, not a good thing if your the daughter of death... Horus looked a bit nervous too.

"Im gonna have to check to see if the arrangments aer ready yet. I wasn't expectng anyone for a few more days.."

"Great, If I didnt already have enough on my plate..."

I let out a sigh. MY mind was racing. The gods wouldnt bring this "Terry" fellow here this early unless he was targeted.

"While your at it Horus, see if there's anything you can find on this guy. Expecially whose his GOD parent is."

Horus shook his head in aggrement. He and Dehlila left, whith Dehlilia heading to the hospital to check out "Terry" and to make sur he didnt get Dee or Mitj upset.

I was alone in the dorm. I let out a sigh and headed for a pannel on the wall by the fridge. I placed my hand over it and it slide up. I pulled a botlle out and the panel slid bakc down. I looked at the bottle of liquid in my hand.

"My last bottle of ...."

I pulled the cork off and drank, while my mind processed what just happened.....

I looked relieved. Some men, who looked like they wouldn't kill me if I did one wrong thing. Then they escorted me to the hospital, and I immediately disregarded all 'manners'.
"I don't need to go there. This is nothing; just a few scratches, they'll heal. What I need is answers. Shall I demonstrate?" I held out a hand, and, concentrating on some air around me, shot it in to a sphere of hard, concussive ballistic. I realized I could change the direction of it and brought it back around. It circled me until it finally disappeared.
"Now how the heck does that that happen? Don't give me that look; I said I refuse to be taken to the hospital. When you live your whole life like this, you get used to it." My patience was at zero, and I wasn't intimidated any more. I came for answers, and I'd get them. NOW.

((OK, looks like im gonna have to do a bit of stalling here so the rest can cach up, but dont worry its nto gonna be "boring". ))

After downing the bottle I looked it over. It erupted into intense flames leaving nothing of the bottle left, not even ash. I let out another sigh. I headed up to my level to get ready for work. My mind went back to this "Terry" fellow. Eve ntheough Dee, Mitja and exspecially Elly can hold their own, im not sure if they can take on a demi god.

"I really hope this guys powers havent come in yet. He doesnt look like the kind of guy thats gonna go to a hospital even if he's being escorted by some hot..."

I stopped in mid thought. I gave my head a shake.

'"Their just friends Lee, Just friends.."

After a quick shower, I put my security unifrom on and grabbed my laptop and cell before heading down to the museum. Elly didnt like the fact that I was alone for the whole night, so i have to call her every hour, if I dont, well, it gets weird real quick.

AS I reached the door my phone rang. It was Dehlila, Strabge, since she doesnt really call me...

"His powers are in and he isnt going quitly to the hospital...."

I cut her off.

"Are the girls ok???"

Silence for a those few momnts made me worry.

"Their fine, but they are rather..unpleasne to be around right now.."

I could tell from the backround noise that Mitja's "not so nice" personality came out..

"He wants answers Lee. ANd I dont know how much longer I can keep these three from trying to kill him, not thta I disagree with the girls on that.."

He couldnt just go to the hospital and then brake out, no he had to do this...."

I hung up and weighted my options. I couldnt go in there and start knocking him around. Id blow my cover. My best bet is to go in fast and get him out of there.

Speed is key. And luckliy I had some to spare, Even with most of my soul locked up. I opend the door and took off. Luckily Im able to move fast enough that the shockwave from the sonic boom wont follow me for aother half hour. It took just seconds to get to were "Terry" and the girls were, and. all the girls saw wsa a blurr. I grabbed him by the face and pushed him a good km to the edge of a cliff, with the Atlantic ocean below.
I held hin by the face above the water. He was struggling pretty good, but i had a good grip on him. I remained calm as I spoke.

"Listen carefully. I know you want answers and I can help you get them. But do not do that again. If you do..."

The sleeves and collar of my shirt slipped a bit to eveal the chains and shackles. The shackles on my wrists and neck began to glow with the seal sthat kept most of my powers at bay. The area turned a purplish black color thansk to the smoke coming off the chains and shackles.

".... YOU WILL NOT LIKE THE OUTCOME. So, are you willingly gonna go to the hospital, or am i gonna have to make you??"

My eyes blazed. Life on the street had toughened me, and these new powers were a nice touch. Time to test them out. I grimaced and focused. Air swarmed around me I focused more and it strengthened in to a gale. This guy was tough, but you can't fight air. I strengthened it a touch more and he was thrown off. I was lifted in to the air, rage in my mind. But I still felt like I could get my @$$ kicked if I wasn't careful, so I made a hard barrier of air to stop any and all contact. Even ballistics would just be added to the barrier, immediately thrown in to the swirling storm. I took a long, shuddery breath, closing my eyes for a moment, to cool down. Then I opened them, my face calm, although there was still a twinkle of annoyance in my eyes.
"I want answers. And I want them now. Don't try to get me to the hospital, I won't go. I know you know something, I can feel it. So, let's start fresh: Why the hell can I manipulate air?" I waited, throwing out a volley of air spheres directly above me so that I warned him I was serious, but in a manner that no one was hurt.

((Ok wailord 2 has stepped out of the Rp.)))

The guy answered my question wit ha volley of air. I let go and let the air carry me back. He started ranting about how he wont go to the hospital and that he wanted the answeres NOW.

"No choice."

He put up a barrier of air, he's not stupid ill give him that, but....

I leaped towards him, the barrier offering no resestance. His powers are in, btu he doesnt know how to use them, yet.

My arm pluged into his chest, but no blood. I grabbed a hold of it. A purple fog eminating from the whole where my arm went in.

"I have to be carfull, If I "unleash" he's dead

I looked at him, he was in obvious pain. As I spoke my voice ecohed, growls were aparent. I cant hold back much longer...

"OPEN YOU EARS AND LISTEN TO ME. IVE CURRENTLY GOT YOUR SOUL IN MY HANDS AND I CAN EASILY RIP IT OUT OF YOU, PAINFULLY. YOURE GOING TO THAT HOSPITAL, ONCE YOU GET LOOKED OVER AND GIVEN HE OK< YOU"LL GET YOUR ANSWERS. BUT I WILL TELL YOU THIS ,YOU ARE A DEMI-GOD AND YOU ARE IN DANGER."

I threw him to the ground, he landed hard leaving a crater. I landed at the edge of it. The shackles stopped glowing and the mist/fog disappeared. I took a deep breath, and walked down to him. He wsa in pain, but awake I knelt down and handed him my hand.

"My names Lee King. I am not your enemy. I promise you after the hospital I will explain everything. Deal?"

I gasped in pain. My soul.... Great. I knew I would get destroyed. But having my soul nearly ripped out of me was the worst torture I had ever seen, heard of, or felt. I shakily stood up. After that beating, I decided to go to the hospital. I grimaced, grumbling, "Show me the way." I couldn't manage any more.

I gave a slight smile. I knew he was ticked off at me but, at least he was willing to got to the hospital.

I helped him out of the crater. I kept a good arm on him.

"Hang on."

I gave good push with my feet and the ocean behind us dissapeared. IN a few nano-seconds we weer at the hospital.

"Dont tell anyone about your powers, or what you saw of me. It has to be kept a secert right know. Ive got to get to my job, But dont worry, I will keep my promise. "

"LEE!"

Elly, Dee and Mitj can running up to us. I wsa struggling just to stand, but I hid it well.

"Dang, I think I may have broken a few seals."

I smiled as they stopped and caught there breath. The Hospital doors opened and a team of nurses with a strecher took Terry. Dee went wit hthe, since she is the head doctor. Elly looked at me. She was obviously suspicous of something...

"What happened Lee?'

"And the lieing total is aboutt oincrease again.."

"Im not sure I found him lying almost unconcius on my way to work. I though you gusy were gonna take him herer?"

Elly looked at me again. Somethign about her eyes worried me. Not a good feeling.

"We were, but some difficulties ensued."

Elly nodded to Mitj, who was tryin to fix her hait and clothing. She must of gotte nreally mad.. The two went on in after Dee and Terry. I waited a few minutes and I started off to my job.

"Its up to Horus now. Hopefully he can give this guy the answers he wants..."

As I was dragged in to the hospital- since I was so weak I nearly couldn't stand- I went over possibilities in my head. I know now that I'm a demigot, but what kind of person has a chained up arm and can take souls? The only creatures that I heard of that could do that were myths. But then again, I always thought demigods were fake, so who knows?

I managed to get to the museum on time. Karl, the museum curator was waiting at the door.

"What was that commotion about Lee?"

I gave a slight shrug.

"Some guy didn't want to go to the hospital."

Karl nodded, handed me the keys and left. I wnet in and entered the secirity code. The museum is now locked up tighter than me. I headed to the security room at the back of the museum and sat down in the chair.

"Man, Im beat."

I rolled up my sleeves and undid my collar. The shackle on my wrists and neck pulsed with energy. AI noticed a few small nicks.

"I broke what, 10,000 seals with that little outburst?"

I gave a sigh, and opened my laptop. I now Horus is doing his best to find out whose kid this is, but I needed to do something. Might as well help him search. This may be a long night.......

I collapsed on the hospital floor, knocked out from nearly losing my soul and using my new demigod powers.

((If I dont hear back from legs and arceus 101< im gonna open up the sign ups to get 2 replacements, until then we'll contiune as normal))

Between the flashing monitars and the screen on my laptop, the small security room was well lit up. The room itself was big enough for only 2 people. On the wall in front of me there are 20 monitars each flashing between rooms of the museum. On the wall opposite is a pair of lockers and a coffee machine thats broken. There's a small desk and a not so comfy chair in the middle of the room.

I took my glasses of and rubbed my eyes.

"Haveing trouble?"

I turn to the doorway and a figure was standing there in what looked like rags. He walked in and after I put my glasses back on...

"Hey Ramses."

I didn't know which ramses he was, he never specified. For being a couple thousand years old, his body hadn't deteriorated much. Thats said, if your not carrfully yor coud easily split him in two or three, or....

"Ehh, im jst tryin to figure out whose Terry's god parent is. Ive got it narrowed down, but it's still not easy"

Ramses nodded his head.

"That itself is a grand task.What will you do when you find em.?"

I sighed.

"Hopefully Horus can convince em to talk to him. The guy really wants answers."

Ramses did his pass for a smile.

"Isn't that what everyone wants?"

He chuckled and left the room.

" Yeah everyone wants answers."

(okay.)

I groaned as I woke up. My head was throbbing and my back burnt like hellfire. I glanced around and saw I was inside somewhere I reached for my knife to discover it wasn't there. I started to panic before remembering. "Oh, well $h*t... I wasn't dreaming," I muttered. I really was a demigod and nearly had my soul ripped out of my body. I layed back down slowly and sighed, closing my eyes. Maybe- jus maybe- something good would come out of this. Nah.....

((Ive heard back from legs, he had to pass due to school, and ihavent heard from arceus 101, so im opening the signups for 2 people. Anyone interested please PM me))

I looked at the clock on my laptop. 12:30 am. I gave yawn and streched. Still had nothing on Terry. I got up and paced outside the security room.

"Maybe im missing something? But what?"

I pondered some more as I returned to the rather uncomfortable chair and sat down. A knock at the door brought me back to reality.

"Lee I found him"

IT was Horus.

I slapped my hands together, glad that at least one of us a success.

"SO who is it?"

Horus scratched his head and the expression on his face said it all.

"They dont want me know do they."

Horus nodded his head in agreement.

"However he is willing to met him."

I smiled.

"Ok, here's the room Terry's in. Go and intoduce the two."

Horus nodded again adn ws off to the hospital.

My phone rang. I picked it up ready for an earfull from Elly...

I heard footsteps in the hall. "Great," I thought, "they're coming to drug me and bring me to the crazy house or something." then he came in. Something about him made my blood tingle. I could tell from the beginning he was powerful, very powerful. He also had a sense of authority surrounding him. When he looked at me, I knew there was something about this man. Something familiar. Oddly familiar.

I finally got Elly off the phone. She was rather Po'ed that I forgot to call her. I shook my head and smiled. Her calls do make the time go by a tad bit faster.

"When she's NOT yelling at me."

The screens continued to flicker. It was now 1:30. I hadn't heard anything back from Horus. At least I knew that it wasn't going badly, since the university is still standing. My cell rang. I picked up, knowing who was on the other line.

"So how's it going?"

A sigh came first.

" He wanted to meet wit him alone, so I dont know. It cant be going too bad though."

I nodded. It was pretty pointles, since I was talking to him on a phone.

"How goes the logeing gor him?"

" He's going to put up with me and Dehlila."

I pretty well knew that was gonna happen. The gods kinda want to keep their kids away from me, but a few of them, like Horus and Dehlila, befriended me.

"Ok, you stay there and make sure things go smoothly."

In response he hung up. I settled back down to my job. Only 5 more hours till I could crawl into my bed.

He was in a cabin. It was burning.

"Mom!" Daniel screamed. "What's happening?"

No answer

"MOM!!!

Embers flicked across his hands. Daniel shook his head.

"It can't be..l" he whispered.

"NOOO!!!"

Daniel's pet cat, escaping te fire, watched attentively, with growing interest, that wasn't human, or even feline, at all. The green eyes glimmered with wisdom.

Overhead, the sun, too stricken with grief and pity to watch anymore, hid behind a cloud...

Daniel woke up from his dream.

"You ready man? Welcome to Seattle dude. Almost outta the country. Figured we could get outta here fast enough if we drove at the max speed limit all night. Guessi was wrong. Here, we'll spend the night at this motel."

Daniel shook off his plaguing nightmares and nodded. Though nobody could see, the embers from years ago danced across his palm...

((Ok I guess Arceus is still in. Ill keep the 2 more thing up for a bit, just to see if anyone bites.))

"MMMmmmmm nuhhh"

I gave a good long strech after my nap. I checked my watch. It was almost 6. I got up and walked down the long corridor, stopping every once in a while to admire the artifacts from bygone ages. It was silent as it should be, since haveing the dead wondering around could cause a bit of trouble. I contiuned till I got to the main entrance.

The glass wall looked out over the maritime sky to the east, with the ocean a few dozen meters away. I opened one of the windows and let the salty Nova Scotian Air fill my lungs. My mind wondered for a few moments, reminding me of when I first came here, and that question rentered my mind.

"Why isnt this place on any map??"

I havent really thoght about that question for a long time, being busy with Aten and finding the Demi god kids.
When I first came here I tried googling this place, but nothing came up. When I asked about it, they said it was prpably a glitch in the system. I beleived them, but something kept bothering me. I sighed, closed the window and hurridly returned to the security room. I have about 30 min before Karl showed up. I sat down at the desk and opened my laptop, and began hacking into the Universitys database and the net.

It wasn't hard, took me only 30 seconds to hack everything. I quickly skimmed over the data..

"Nothing, nothing, noth....Wait, something....."

I stopped scrolling at the universitys Main data files. Something wasnt right about them. I read slowly, connecting the words to each other and such, my eyes began to widen....

"BEEP-BEEEP

My computer rudely told me I had an email. I quickly closed everything on what I was doing, ensuring no one could trace it to me. I opened my email account, and founs something that said "Lee, this is important." It didnt havea sender, I was use to it. Probably from one of the gods. I clicked it and up pops up somewthing about a drug bust gone wrong.

"What the heck it this??'

As I looked at it I noticed a picture had a circle drawn on it. I enlarged the photo to see it better. There where a few heiroglyphics beside it. I immediatly lost all thought of sleep. Things have just gotten a whole lot harder.

"Great, Just freakin great..."

I assume the drug bust involves my first post contributing to this story and the picture is of me. Oh and I didn't post because I thought the site was dead because I window showed up saying Higgs has blown up the forums. Everything is gone. It's the end of the world. Apparently is was some kind of joke. Also, you r in a university in Canada right?

P.S
The cat in my last post is Bast lol! And what does it mean when your a "forbidden"?

(( Yeah, that bit was from your first post. And yes the University is in Canada. More specifically the east coast. As fr the question "what is a forbidden", the answer comes later. For future referance please put annything not related to the Rp in double (). ))

Daniel looked up at the Canadian University. Tyson had thought they could pass off as normal students here, but Daniel wasnt so sure. The administrators had been easy to convince. Daniel had cut his hair and dyed it, along with putting on contacts to change his eyes from brown to green. They had identified Marty buy the flachette pistol in his pocket and wallet with the dirvers liscense of "Jonathon Howard". Marty had escaped and abandoned Dabiel and Tyson to fend for themselves.

"What the hell?" Daniel found a note scribbled in cursive on the floor.

"How the did this get here?"

Dear Daniel,

You are in terrible danger here. I don't mean the police. I know you've been having dreams about your past. All of us do. You don't know what "us" is. You want answers. You are scared. Something bigger than you could have imagined is happening. You don't know who i am, but i know who you are. First of all, DON'T TRUST ANYONE DON'T TRUST ANYONE WHO ASKS ABOUT YOUR PAST EXCEPT ME. You'll know who i am when the time is right. Second, don't lose control, no matter what you do. Third, What i tell you may not seem realistic but its true and it explains a lot about your past. So, when i tell you what's going on, can the "Your crazy. This isn't real. Stop wasting my time."

Sincerely,
A friend


What danger.?What something? Who was us? Most of all, was this some sort of sick joke? Daniel was more confused than ever.

For a moment, an ember flickered across he palm, dancing back and forth, but he extinguished it. But it was too late. He saw a pair of eyes widen, and a shadowy figure run off.

" This isnt not my favorite week."

In a span of two days two, we found two kids. To some that makes sense, but consider the fact that it took TWO FUNDRED years to find one kid. I shook my head as I continued home. I hadn't heard anything on Terry, so I assume everything is hunky doory. I continued to walk, whenI noticed a figure staring down at the ground. He looked.. confused. I slipped behind one of the welcome stand.

"Its the guy from the photo. The gods aren't wasting any time."

Although he dyed his hair and changed his eye color, I could still tell it was him. IM not sure how, its just one of those times when ya know. I studued him for a few minutes and noticed three things:

1: There's writing on the ground in front of him.
2: Flames danced acrossed one of his palms.
3: A shadowy figure ran off.

All this leads to one thing. I dont know what it is, but ill figuer it out. Firts things first. I checked to make sure the shackle werent showing and I began to walk over to him. He didnt see me. Good.

I was still in my museum security uniform, and I was hoping he didnt mistake it for the campuses security.
Of course if he bolts, that wont help his cover.

"Hopefully he is a lot calmer than Terry."

I figured its; best to play this VEEEEEEEEERRRRYYY carfully. AS I spoke using very carfull chosen words.

" Excuse me you look lost. Are you new here?"

And now we see how this chapter will play out....

((I was thinking you wrote it and Terry was running to tell you i'd found it but ok... guess we found a spy of Aten, I'll be writing in first person too from now on))

I knew someone was watching me and i also knew they didnt know i knew. I had no idea who it was but i turned around and narrowed my eyes.

CAMPUS SECURITY? What the hell? I didn't even do anything yet!

I couldn't bolt or my cover was blown. The guy was awfully suspicious. Most guards just shook you and told you, "Hey, son. Get back into your dorm. This area's off limits at late hours."
He also looked worried as if he knew i was suspicious of him. I decided to do my routine lying exercise: Dodge questions and never give a straight answer when possible.

"Um no I'm not lost. Thanks anyway Mr...King."

He laughed and said, "Call me Lee. And you haven't answered my question yet."

Crap! "Well, yeah I'm new. You, uh, didn't by any chance see what i was looking at did you?"

He grinned. "Let me guess, private? Maybe a love note?"

"Errr..."

"Relax, I'm kidding with you. You should probably get back to your dorm. Oh, and for later reference, this campus is no smoking. Sorry, but any and all lighters, cigarettes, and/or tobacco will be confiscated from now on."

My throat went dry and I felt like cold hands were grasping me. He saw the...whatever it was that i can do! At least he thinks I was only smoking...

"I could've almost sworn you didn't have a lighter in that hand," he went on. "Was that some kind of magic trick?"

I tried to roll an excuse off my tongue. I was good at lying, but it was like steel was clamping my throat and i couldn't get any words out. I scanned the place looking for an escape exit. I couldn't use my...I guess powers are the right word, against him or I'd probably turn him to ash and bring the complex down in flames. I saw many, but this guy had cleverly placed himself in front of me so in any attempt to escape I'd have to travel more or less in his direction to get to them. I cursed in Spanish under my breath. This guy was good. I also notcied he looked relaxed, almost casual, but, he convienently had one foot behind the other with his front hand down, both into lightly curled fists, a classic martial arts fighting stance. He was pretending he wans't but this guy was ready to fight, and he was actually pretty good at it. He saw my eyes flicker and narrowed his.

"I noticed your eyes are brighter than normal. Cool contacts, but your registration said you had perfect vision.

Dang! This guy wanted me to admit something incriminating. Another ember danced back and forth on my fingers before winking out-directly in his line of vision. There was no hiding it now.

For a full minute we stared at each other weighing options, trying to predict what the other would do.

Finally, he said, "I think you should come with me."

I hesitated, then tried to mask my terror and failed.

"I...I don't wanna hurt anyone. I'm just going to leave so nobody will get hurt." Killing cops that wounded my friends was one thing. Killing innocents in the most agonizing way possible just because they were doing their job and protecting other kids was another. It was what isolated me from the rest of Marty's crew. I, with great effort, produced a flame confined to my right palm and held it in front of me, intending to make the guy back up and give me an opening to escape, but the guy hadn't expected it, and moved too late. My palm came to rest directly on his chest...

His uniform burned away to reveal glowing...shackles, or whatever they were. His eyes widened with surprise and pain, but unlike other accidents I'd been in, his skin just turned bright red and started smoking a bit, instead of outright catching fire and burning to ashes.

"Holy...

I tried to yell for somebody, anybody, but my voice left me. The guy, or whatever he was, opened his mouth to speak, but before i could, i warned him

"I have a knife and I could burn you to death. Stay away from me dude."

I had lived up to my gang's proudly proclaimed motto, which ironicly, was mi vida loca, Spanish for "my crazy life"...

((For Future referance, I consider making someone elses character say more than one line, Gomodding, However I will let it pass this time, since I do knida want to geta move on in the story. ))

"Whats with the mand tryin to kill me.."

I let out a sigh and grabbed his hand, not too firm, I didn't want to come on as if I was gonna knock him around. Unlike Terry, who was still in the hospital, this guy has no intention of killing me. He's more scared than anything. I wsnt too concerened with the knife, since I have been stabbed before, mulitple times... In the heart... You'd think after 50 trys they'd stab somewhere else.. Anyways, I put out his flames wit ha little spurt of water. His hand smoked a bit as I moved it away from me. I concentrated and the shirt that he burned away, remade itself.

"Sorry, I didnt mean to alarm you. I am a security guard, but at the museum. Not for the university."

HE still looked a like sacared, but he also looked a bit in shook too. Well he did just try to burn a guy and he did see my shackles. Oh and I rematerialized a burnt shirt...

"Put the knife down, ok? Im not gonna hurt you OR report you. We'd beter get you to a dorm before someone gets suspicious."

HE still looked a little scared, but not as much. He looked as if he was thinking. The blade in his hand wavered a bit.
I stood silently waitin for him to answer.

"I hope Horus has another room at his dorm ready..."

((Sorry, I also wanted to get a move on, and it's sort of hard to spice it up without some extra dialogue y'know?))

"So where are we going?"

This creepy guy had earned my grudging respect, but I sure as he'll wasn't going someplace without reassurance it was safe. This was due to half a dozen years in a gang, meaning a trap could be anywhere, at anytime.

"Trust me, all you need to know is your in a lot more danger out here then there. Ii'm pretty sure I know who your godly parent is but I'll double check with Horus just to make sure."

Horus, the Egyptian god, is that what this is all about? It seems like some joke straight out of a Goosebumbs story.

"Oh, um, sorry for burning you back there. Who's Horus?"

Lee rolled his eyes, so I shut up. I turned my attention back to making sure all the purple fog that had been emitted when he grabbed me hadn't done something to my arm.

Cops with rifles and tear gas determined to see me dead, I could deal with. Egyptian gods, demons, and invulnerable people, not to mention freaky notes from anonymous senders? That was a different story.

"At leats this guy has some common sense."

I lead Daneil to Horus's and Dehlila's place.

"Ok, here's the scoop. Horus is the son of Osiiris and Isis. Sounds bad, but he's one of the few freinds I have. Dehlila's the daughter of Death. Watch what ya say cause she can be rather scary when she's mad. One mroe thing, Horus and Dehlila are dating."

Daneil looked like a deer caught in headlights. Couldnt blame him..

I knocked on the door and slowly opened it.

"HORUS! DEHLILA! ITS.."

"No need to yell Lee."

Dehlila walked out of the kitchen in a pitch black housecoat. Horus was at the table wearing his usual "tux".

"OHH Boy, FOOOD!"

I ran toward the table but a firm hand on my forhead kept me from my destination.

"Dont you need to get back before Elly Goes Nuclear?"

Horus looked at me with that "Yes you know" look.

I sighed and stopped trying to run towards the food. Horus removed his hand from my forhead.

"Yeah. First, this is Daniel. Daniel, Horus and Dehlila. Horus and Dehlila, Daniel. Second, any news on Terry?"

Horus shook his head. I nodded. IN this case, no news is good news. I looked over to Daniel, He still looked a little dazed.

"Ya might want to get him to his room."

Dehlila nodded and showed daneil to his room. Horus followed close behind. I gave a smile and chuckled to myself.
I headed out towards my dorm, hoping to prevent a crisis with Elly....
