Demi-God

-Athea-

“Athea, what are you doing, get up?!” I feel someone tug on my arms, lifting me up from the ground. Exposing the bright day light shining through the enlarged windows.

“Harry!” Wrapping my arms around his neck, I can’t help but feel safe nuzzled in the crook of his neck.

“I just had the weirdest dream, I just blacked out and I can't...” Turning to face him but his attention was elsewhere, peering down the winding hall-way.

“Athea, let’s go” He takes the lead, dragging me down the art filled corridor.

“I never suspected two, especially not you Mr Styles. This is going to go down a treat.” Her voice becomes louder, echoing of the concrete walls.

“Stay behind me, okay. Stay behind me.” Harry pushes me behind his frame, producing a ball point pen out his pocket. A pen? A fricking pen, come on now seriously couldn't he come out with anything better.

This thing was no longer Mrs Dorset. Scaly skin lined her body, black orbs stared with lust as she turned the corner to face Harry. A slow cruel cackle is released from her pruned lips as her intricate wings contract.

“So brave, yet so foolish”

“Run, Athea.” Harry whispers, before clicking his ballpoint pen. In seconds a silver blade is assembled, this day was defiantly too much for me.
.
“Run” In a swift movement he turns to face me, his eyes hypnotizing. My body takes me away, I can’t help but run. The last sight of Harry his arms are outstretched, the sword clenched in his hand.

I run for what seems for hours finding my way through the winding museum hallways, until I arrive at the entrance, then I am faced with the rest of my class.

“Are you alright Thea?” Daisy drops her gift bags, wrapping her arms around me. Tears staining her shirt, I feel Louis hand on my shoulder giving me reassurance. The constant sounds of the clock seemed to become louder merging with the constant chatter.

“He’s gone, Daisy. He’s gone.”

“Who’s gone babe?” She tries to comfort me, rubbing circles slowly into my back.

“Athea.” Harry appears out the hallway clearly bewildered, covered in black dust.

“Harry”

“We need to go.” Holding out his hand, he leads towards the entrance. Everything was happening at such a fast pace, my mind was brimming with thoughts.

“Harry, mate where are you going? She’s clearly shaken; let’s take her to Mrs Dorset
before you go running off” Louis, appears at the entrance. Stopping Harry in his steps.

“Louis, she’s my girlfriend. I know what’s going on and we need to leave. So get the fuck out of my way.” His voice is stern, as his eyes slowly morph.

“Okay, mate. It was just a suggestion.” His hands are held up, as he rejoins the chattering crowd.

Reaching out into the fresh air, the sun rays hit me. It feels so real but I know it’s not, I know this is a dream but it just feels like reality. This is all just a concoction in my imagination, a fantasy.

Harry pauses in his steps, turning to face me.
“This isn’t a dream Thea, I know you may think this is one of your dreams as did I, but this is real, it's all real and we have to go. They know were here now.” He takes a hold of my hand, keeping steady eye contact.

“Who knows were here Harry?!” He’s already half way across the side walk, his pace quickening. This is all too much, I've lost it.

“I will explain when we get to camp, I promise”

“No Harry, I want to know now. I need answers, please.” Sitting myself on the curb, thoughts are rushing through my mind. This is real and if this is real then so was Mrs Dorset's transformation.

“Why couldn’t Louis see Mrs Dorset, Harry? Am I crazy, is that it. I'm crazy.”

“No, Thea. No he’s just not like us, were special. Everything will be explained but for now you've just got to trust me on this we need to get to safety.

Resisting any more questions, I gave in, I trusted Harry with all my heart and I knew he was right. Taking a hold of his hand he leads the way, through the bustling trafficked streets.

"Thea" In seconds I'm in my mothers arms, she's my everything.

"We need to get you two inside." Ushering Harry and I into the petite apartment. A bag is packed on the dinner table.

"Mum whats going on? Is that my stuff?"

"Listen you need to go away for a while okay sweetheart, it's for your own good. They will explain everything to you, okay" Removing the hair strands from my face. She wipes the tears from underneath my eyes.

"Mum, I can't leave you. "

"Yes you can Thea, yes you can. Now please, make this easy for the both of us. This needs to happen, we've delayed it this far." Placing a kiss on my forehead, she starts collecting up some food supplies.

Tracing my fingers over the mint wallpaper that lines the room, pictures fill my wall. Mostly of Harry and my mother, I laugh reminiscing the memories. She's given me her all, her everything, and for that I will love her eternally.

"Athea!" A voice comes down from the hallway, interrupting my thoughts.

"Coming." Wiping away the last of my tears, I enter the kitchen a few bags fill the worktop.

"You guys have to go." My mother collects up the last of my belongings, grabbing the car keys of the cluttered kitchen counter. Scanning over the apartment for the last time, in god knows how long, I can't help becoming emotional once again.I grew up here,this is my home and always will be. I feel my mother's presence beside me, gripping hold of my hand tightly as she too admires our family home.

"Be strong my girl, be strong." My mother smothers me in kisses. in her tight embrace.

"And you Harry, my boy. Thank you. Thank you so much, for looking after her and continue to do so." She laughs in between sniffles, squeezing Harry in her arms.

The night is now dark, streetlamps light up the streets. Harsh breeze hits every now and then. It's silent, except from the sounds of sirens in the far distance.

"I will drive you to the closet checkpoint, you'll have to walk from then on. As I won't be able to go any further." My mother, starts revving the engine heating up frost brimmed windows.

Where was I going?
