Augustus' P.O.V.
"Harder, Gus, Harder!" The dark haired beauty beneath me screamed.
Fu.ck, what was her name again? Janet? Jennifer? It starts with a J, I know that for sure.
I thrusted deep inside of her, filling her as much as I could, till I grazed her cervix. She moaned in pleasure, swaying her hips against me.
"Hey, as.sholes, I need my books!" I heard Nova's familiar voice.
Shi.t
I thought she was gone. Dammit, she's going to talk my ear off later. Fu.ck. I didn't stop though, the feel of Janice's p*ssy was too good to leave right now. She continued to moan, not caring that Nova was at the door.
"Hey!" She continued banging on the door. I know she's not going to go away until she gets what she needs. I looked around, finding some books beside her bed. I sent them to her shadow on the other side of the door.
"Not the right ones, Augustus." Dammit. She said Augustus, she's pissed. I took back the ones I sent, sending out another stack. "Thanks, Jacka.ss."
Shi.t I'm in trouble.
I pushed that thought aside, focusing on Jaclyn beneath me. I kissed her neck, licking and sucking on her most tender areas. I may sleep around, but I make sure to please the woman I'm with before myself. I felt her muscles clench around my d*ck as she reached her orgasm. I thrusted into her faster, releasing myself into the condom I was wearing.
'Where the hell are you? Class is about to start.' I heard Ares' shadow message ripple through my shadow.
"Gotta go, sweetheart. Thanks for this." I kissed her one last time, throwing the condom away and cleaning myself off before changing the scenery around me.
I traveled through the shadows, using Ares' shadow door as my destination. I sat beside him as if I'd been there the entire time. He gave me a knowing, and disapproving look. The dark purple walls in the class reminded me of Jesse's room back home. I looked around, finding her further down the front. Her light brown hair was easy to spot amongst all the black and dark brown. She had it cut in a short pixie style that showed her small round face and strong jaw off.
She was showing off her new tattoo on her collarbone, by the way she loosened her tie and had her first few shirt buttons undone. She was showing too much skin in my opinion. I used my shadow to button up one of her buttons. She looked around, giving me a pointed look when she found me. I narrowed my face in a big brother means business way. She just rolled her eyes, but she left it buttoned up.
"She's getting older, Augustus, you're gonna have to leave her alone." Ares told me.
"Like hell, she could be 20 and I'm still going to tell her what to do." I argued. She's my little sister, I gotta protect her from guys like me.
"Get your life together first, before you go and try to tell someone else how to live." Ares snarked.
"What's that supposed to mean?" I snapped, looking at him closely for the first time.
His long black hair was tied in a tall bun, and those all knowing lilac eyes were narrowed at me. He had a serious look about him as he eyed me. He crossed his arms, leaning back against the black cushioned chair.
"You know exactly what that means. Why do you even feel the need to sleep around with so many girls? Mom would kill you if she knew." He shook his head disapprovingly.
"We can't all be perfect little Ares. According to mom, you do no wrong. There could be a dead body on the floor with you holding the bloody knife, and she still wouldn't believe it was you." Mom took care of Ares differently than she did Jesse and I.
I know it's because his dad is dead, but I think she began to favor him as we grew up. Maybe because she misses his dad and he apparently looks a lot like him. Jesse and I both see it, so I know it's not just in my head. Ares the perfect child. There's no competing with him, so why bother?
"I'm not perfect." He said, not giving me a chance to counter before our teacher appeared.
"Well, aren't you lot a sight for sore eyes?" Her dark burgundy hair and Irish accent hit me with a smile. May was our teacher this year, what luck!
"You better wipe that smile off your face. She's going to be harsher on us because she knows us. It's the opposite of what you're thinking. We're in for a rough semester." Ares informed me, crushing my hopes.
May was one of moms few close girl friends. May and her son would come over and play with us often. He's around Jesse's age and even has some classes with her. Jesse is technically not supposed to be in this class, but she's ahead of the rest of her classmates at using the shadows. How could she not be, with Mom as our mother and Topher as her father.
Topher is a badass shadow fighter and our mayor of the West colony. He's loved by everyone in town, and could beat anyone's ass in a second. Mom and him are relentless with training. There's no one here anywhere near our league because of them. Mom has expectations of us and she lets it be known.
'I expect the same of each of you. Don't take anyone's shi.t, return it tenfold. Be the victor of every battle, but pick them wisely.'
Her words rang in my head. One of the many things she'd tell us over and over. I shook the memory out of my head trying to focus on May at the front of the room. Her light eyes landed on my gold ones.
"I see the Watts family is here." We all have different last times, so everyone refers to us as the Watts, which is mom's name. The name of the sole surviving original family. "My hope is to train you enough to one day beat one of them."
She grinned at us with a challenge…keep getting stronger or risk being caught up to. I tensed, feeling my phoenix stir at the challenge. Dad helped me awaken it fully, without having to die. I don't plan on ever using that part of my phoenix ability, because I don't plan on ever being killed by someone.
Ares pulled a strong shadow shield up behind our back just as a fast shadow tried to attack us. His eyes flashed with the many possible futures before us. He pushed off my chair, simultaneously moving both of us as another shadow was sent hurtling between us where we'd just been.
'Sombra, tame.' I told my shadow.
'Gladly.' Its dual toned voice responded. Shadows don't have genders. There's not really much about them to distinguish them either way, having a woman's and man's voice at the same time.
Sombra was an ancient shadow with abilities like no others. Stronger than that of the first shadow weaver shadow. Sombra stopped all the shadows around us. They were frozen in time, unusable to anyone, but me at the moment.
"Together you two are invincible, but we'll see how you fair apart." May said, letting me know she was the one that had been attacking. She smiled excitedly at us, and I could see my easy semester dreams quickly fading away.
Damn, this is going to be a long semester.
Jesse's P.O.V. "Are you just as strong as your brothers?" Lana asked me, whispering to me as she looked at my brother's on the last row above us in class."We are each stronger than one another in one way or another, but we're pretty equal overall." I told her, remembering the countless hours of training we’d do everyday. Dad even gave me tips and tricks that the others didn't have. They have a year more of training than me, given their age, but dad made sure I was on the same level as them. "That's awesome. My shadows are so slow, and probably not the strongest, so I'm really excited to learn. I wonder if I could be as strong as you guys by the end of the semester." She smiled Excitedly. I laughed in her face at that last statement."It'll take years of 3 hour daily sessions of training to get to where we are now, but by the time you reach this strength we'll be stronger. Sorry Lana, but there's no catching up. The difference is already too vast." It sounds harsh, I know, but it'
Ares' P.O.V.I knew she would drive us hard, but I didn't foresee just how sore I'd be after. May has always been a bit of a sadistic teacher. I think she enjoyed seeing people struggle and work hard to reach their potential. She's a good person though, you could ask anyone and they'd tell you how sweet and capable she was. I pulled my phone out, feeling it buzz in my pocket. Nova had texted. It's not really like her to text so early in the day. Nova: We need to talk about the slut you call a brother. Me: What'd he do now?Nova: My roommate! Bring him here.Nova was pissed. There was always one rule that we had imposed on Augustus' sleeping habits. Never with our close friends, or with our roommates. Seems he was running out of new people to fu.ck if he was tempted enough to break the rule. "Sorry, you've been summoned." I told him, grabbing him and sending us to Nova. I looked around, noticing she was in the sanctioned fighting arena. Anytime you have a problem with someone on c
Nova's P.O.V. Fu.ck him! I was still so upset, and oddly very hurt. I let Ryoko take over and fly us around campus, taking us to the siren side of the academy. She rushed us towards the water, shifting with me as we dove down from the sky into the water. The shift was seamless, from my dragon to my siren. It was as easy as taking a deep breath. I swam down to the bottom of the lake where I knew I'd find Emanuel. Emanuel was a sea witch I'd met last school year. It was the first year the school had opened and everyone was so cliquey, still kind of are. I found Emanuel alone at the bottom of the lake when I was exploring. Sea witches aren't exactly the most liked creatures, but he was different. He was kind and caring despite the hate he received. He was a year younger than me, a sophomore this year. "Hey, what brings you down here?" He smiled at me when he saw me. His large purple fin had grown since last year. His teeth were sharper and his muscles larger. "Just needed to see a f
Augustus' P.O.V.I sat in the shadow realm trying to calm my anger. I can't believe she humiliated me like that in front of everyone during the first week, just because I slept with her roommate. She's blowing it way out of proportion. That chick, although hot, was not worth all this. 'Think less with your d*ck.' Sombra laughed at me. 'Be less of a d*ck.' I retorted. 'You'll be fine, just be a man and go talk to her.' Sombra was right as usual. I pulled her shadow door forward watching her slip a shirt over head. She's too damn beautiful to be shifting into her siren that causes her to lose her clothes. Some as.shole is going to watch her like a sick perv."Sorry, you had said you were done." Ares apparently is that sick perv today. I felt my blood boil with Bane's phoenix fire inside me."It's fine. I was done. It's just a bra Arie, don't freak out on me." She shoved his shoulder lightly. Is she flirting with him?"I'm not freaking out. I just don't want to disrespect you, Nova."
Jesse's P.O.V."Did you move the shadow off us for a moment?" I asked Damon, having felt exposed for a second. "Wouldn't dream of it. No one else gets to see this body of yours." He nibbled at my earlobe. His hand squeezed at my neck lightly, applying just the smallest amount for pressure. His other hand was sliding under my bra now, reaching for my n*pple. He didn't waste time, shoving me between these buildings, out of nowhere, and pinning me against the wall. He said it was time for my punishment. I felt the thrill through my body, arousing me. He kissed me furiously, leaving my lips puffy and bruised, almost. He bit at my lip, but never enough to draw blood. "You ready for your punishment?" He looked me dead in the eyes. I nodded and he squeezed harder around my neck. "Use your words." "Yes." I moaned. He gave me that wicked smirk he gets when he's about to be a good kind of rough with me. I felt the excitement pool in my stomach, leaking out between my thighs. He turned me a
Ares' P.O.V."I'm sorry, I can't do more to help Nova." I told her, getting up from the floor. We'd spent the last 30 or 40 minutes just talking. She was telling me how she was feeling. We were talking about Augustus, reminiscing on the times we were kids. Our next classes start soon. She and August have general fire training together, while I'm in the seer building with grandma Ramona."You've done plenty. Thank you, Arie." She smiled at me. She wrapped her arms around my neck, hugging me tightly. Nova was a very affectionate friend, always touching and hugging when she could. Even though she's done it all our lives, it still surprises me when she shows me random affection. "I'll see you later for lunch." I told her, knowing it for a fact. She'll be with the sea witch. "See you then." She waved as I traveled through the shadows to the seer building. I am literally the only shadow weaver that goes to the small seer building. I've always loved the way the stars reflect off the gla
Nova's P.O.V.I was the first to arrive at fire battle class, having used my water portal. I grabbed my pearl after talking with Ares. He always seems to calm me. He has a way of getting me to talk things through, seeing them in a new light. I don't know how he does it, but I do feel better after talking with him…after admitting how I feel about Augustus. "Hey, can we talk?" Augustus' voice came from beside me. He shadow weaved into the chair to the right of me."About what?" I made sure to sound irritated, and he sighed, slouching back in his chair. "You're so difficult. Look, I know I messed up, okay?" "Is that your way of apologizing? Because it's seriously lacking." I snarked. "See, difficult." He shook his head. "I don't know if you know this, Auggie, but in order to apologize you actually have to say I'm sorry." I rolled my eyes at him. "How about I say I fu.cked up?" He asked, looking at me with pleading eyes. I could see the worry in them. He was worried about us, about
Augustus' P.O.V.I couldn't get away fast enough from Nova. She had me feeling all kinds of ways that I was not used to. It threw me for a loop. This is Nova we are talking about. Pulled on my hair to annoy me when we were young, Nova. Carried around a raggedy teddy bear to fight off nightmares, Nova. She's my childhood friend. I need to get my d*ck to contain itself. We cannot have Nova. We can never mess that up. Nova is the only real friend I have, aside from Andy. So I'll make my way to the redhead beauty in the distance to distract myself."Hey gorgeous, mind if I take your hand?" I asked her. She turned to look at me. Her crystal blue eyes roamed my body, assessing my worth. I am sure she was looking at my aura as well. I guess she found something she liked as she extended her hand to me. "You may have my hand." "Thanks." I gave her my flirtatious smirk. "I'm Augustus, but you can call me Gus." "I'm Elezen." She batted her eyelashes at me. "Nice to meet you, Elezen." I for
