New Old Friends

Lola blinks her hazel eyes, bright blue covering her vision. Her dark brown hair whips at her dark skin in the harsh wind.
Before she could even question why a group of males were staring at her, a loud angered voice shouts from behind her.

"That fucking pedophile! I'll get you!" Katie immediately launches forward, her face as red as her hair. She sprints towards Zeus, fists flying for his face. He simply held his staff out, pushing her back before floating up in the air. "Get the fuck down here now!" She screeches. "What did you do to her?!"

"Violet, are you okay?" Hayley runs forwards and coddles Violets fallen figure, the small blackette pale as can be. Hayley examines Violet with her soft blue eyes, looking for any physical injuries.

"What happened to her?" Alyssa asks as her body unfreezes. She jogs over and bends down, brushing her hair behind her ear. Lola ran over to Katie, trying to stop her from causing any more trouble. However Katie continued to shout profanities, trying to inflict pain upon Zeus.

"Kat, stop! Violet needs to be taken care of!" Hayley shouts as she picks up Violet.

"She's really pale. OMG, and she's bleeding!" Alyssa yells. Hayley runs towards the student gods.

"Where's the hospital?" She asks, looking at them frantically.

"This way!" Apollo answers as he runs towards the building. Hayley follows after, Violet limp in her arms as Alyssa scampers behind.
That left Lola and Katie with Zeus, Thoth no where to be seen.

"What did you do to her?!" Katie demands answers. After being turned into stone by the petty god, then waking up to see Violet in the same condition, she was furious. Zeus more than any deserved her wrath.

"Do not order me around human." Zeus scowls at her. "If you proceed I shall turn all of you back to stone." He threats. Her eyes filled with fury and just before she threatens Zeus, Hades places a hand on her shoulder. Katie growls upon his touch, her brown eyes darkening as she glares at him.
"We all agree with your anger, but I think Violet needs you more than my brother needs to learn manners." Hades spoke. Katie locks eyes with him, her gaze blank and eerie before she slaps his hand away.

"Don't touch me." She murmurs before look over to Lola who stood by her side.

"Could you show us where she is?" Lola asks. Hades nods before walking ahead.

Hayley places down Violet onto the bed before looking around the room. She sighs as she opens each draw. She turns to the gods with a raised eyebrow.

"Are you gonna help or not?" She questions.

"What are you looking for?" Tsukito asks calmly.

"Pain relievers? A drink of water? You know, normal things one is going to need after getting blasted by that arses magic!" Hayley scowls, her breathing becoming rigged. Alyssa then pipes up.

"How long do you think she's going to be out for?" She asks shyly from beside Violet, holding the girls hand. Hayley could hear one of the gods going to speak, but immediately cut them off.

"What are you lot still doing here? She's been hurt, she needs rest. Not a bunch of bloody gods in her room." Hayley turns to them, a hand on her hip.

"She's our friend." Takeru immediately explodes. "Who do you think you are, coming in here and ordering us around?!"

"I'm her real friend! She's injury and all you lot could do was watch!" Hayley glares. She then runs a hand down her face, trying to calm herself down. "Alright, alright. I know we didn't have the best first encounter but there's no need to be so hostile Takeru." Hayley jesters to Violet. "If she's really your friend, then you'll help her out." Takeru furrows his brows at her. Tsukito perks up.

"She carries around pills. Mr Thoth said they hold healing properties." He explains. Hayley nods to Alyssa, who then searched Violeta pockets.

"Where are the rest of your friends?" Hayley juts her chin behind them, noticing that they had disappeared.

"They left to do their duty." Tsukito answers.

"And that duty is?" Hayley perks her brow at him.

"To help their friend." Just as Hayley was going to question Tsukito further, a fiery red head and their bangladeshian friend come into the room.

"I'm gonna kill him!" Katie explodes.

"Calm down." Lola said, placing a hand on the taller girls shoulder.

"Why should I?!" Katie shrieks, turning to her friend.

"Because Violet would want you too." Hayley comments as she walks to said girls bedside. Katie scowls before her face finally softens. Violet laid down, her black hair in a tangled mess. Her skin that was visible was covered in scratches and marks. Katie sighs.

"Is there any wipes?" Katie asks, her voice soft.

"I'll look for some." Lola gets up and looks around.

"Do you know what happened?" Alyssa questions, rubbing her own arms. Her flimsy top was making her cold. "I mean... I know she did something to protect us, but I don't know how, or what exactly it was?"

"She used magic." Thor spoke up from the door. Beside his was Loki and Balder, both of them rushing over to Violet.

"What? But she's human." Alyssa furrows her brow.

"We don't know how, but she managed to over power Zeus." Balder spoke as he brushed Violet hair back from her face. The other girls watched him hesitantly.

"She even managed to turn you lot back from stone." Loki adds as he leans back on the bed, letting his hair dangle over Violeta legs as he sits down. Each girl share a look, unsure. "Zeus said anyone who disobey would turn to stone, so what did you do?" Loki peers at them, his grey eyes staring at them pensively.

"I refused to help him. That fucking pedophile broke my skateboard and removed me from my world. No way am I listening to him!" Katie growls, her face scrunching up as she stares at the floor.

"Same here... kind of. I thought I was dreaming and didn't want to help." Alyssa explains, handing Katie a damp cloth. The girl immediately moves to Violet and removes the dirt on her face. Loki and Balder step back, but Balder continues to watch her.

"I thought it was a prank." Hayley shrugs. "I mean, I'm a realist. I don't even believe in God, let alone a bunch of them. Same still stands now." She shrugs, crossing her arms.

"I got scared and ran... after that it's blank." Lola explains, pushing up her glasses that had somehow managed to stay on her all this time.

"Why are you asking?" Hayley looks over Loki.

"Well I don't know, do I." He crosses his arm, his eyebrows peeked up in a duh sort of way.

"Yes you do." Katie snaps at him. "You're the idiot that tried to attack the pedo."

"Didn't you just try that earlier?" Loki retorts, standing up.

"At least I'm not playing god and think I'm better than anyone else!" Katie marches towards him. "If Violet wasn't unconscious right now I'd fucking pummel you!" She pokes his chest.

"Really?" Loki sticks his nose up at her.

"Really!" She clenches her jaw.

"Loki, not now." Thor spoke up, still standing at the door. The two red heads then retreat to the wall, leaning against it; one with a scowl and the other with a grin. Balder looks at Katie, grabbing her attention. She scowls at him, waiting for him to speak.

"What did you mean earlier by he did? You weren't there when Loki attacked Zeus." Balder said, clearing his throat.

"Yes I was." Katie replied. "So were you. You're that Bald man kid."

"Balder." He corrects as Loki chuckles.

"Whatever." She rolls her eyes.

"Mr. Balder," Lola speaks up, "I remember meeting you too. You showed me your Pegasus, that's when I ran away." She admits timidly, her cheeks heating up.

"I'm sorry, but I don't remember." Balder looked baffled.

"Same here, kind of." Hayley raises her hand. "I got transported to the entrance and saw all of you. You," she points at Takeru, "started shouting about my blue hair and asked what God I was." Then she squints her eyes in thought. "Then Zeus introduced you all and I freaked out. I mean, gods don't exist." She shrugs finally.

"You are looking right at us?" Takers questions in disbelief. "How can you not believe in us? Even after everything you've seen?"

"C.G.I." Hayley answers. The gods looked very confused. She huffs. "Anyway, we're only staying until Violet gets better. Then we're heading straight home."

"Seconded." Katie nods.

"You can't." Lola comments. "This is an island. And there's floating islands around. An-and weird creatures." She begins to fidget. "You can't get off the island."

"Then we'll build a boat."

"Seconded."

"If it were that easy," Takeru speaks up, "then we'd be long gone."

"I don't care what you think." Katie snaps at him. "You lot shouldn't even be in here! Scram! Before Violet wakes up!"

"We're her friends too. You can't kick us out!" Takers yells at her.

"I agree. I want to stay by her side until she wakes up." Balder agrees.

"Seconded." Loki smirks as Katie begins to boil. Tsukito and Thor both nod in agreement.

"Kat," Lola speaks up. "Maybe we should let them. They seem to genuinely care." Her gaze lingers on Balder. The blond smiles at her thankfully.

"Until Violet wakes up." Hayley agrees hesitantly.

"I agree with that." Alyssa nods with a smile. The girls all look to Katie, the tall girl scrunching up her face as she sighs deeply.

"Fourths." Katie grumbles reluctantly.
