Chapter 2 (I know this is in first person and it actually is pretty good this was.. it just feels right… please don't ask why I changed it to be this way.) And I do not own the Dark-Hunter Series.

After dinner Beth went to lay Ari down for bed and read to him. I helped Styxx clean up and wash the dishes as he spoke.
"You know, things weren't always this way. There was a dark time in everyone's life that overpowered them…" His voice trailed off as I felt someone's power engulf the room. One we both knew all too well… Apollo...I took a step in front of Styxx knowing Apollo came for me. A growl came from the god killer behind me as Apollo smirked.

"What do you want, Apollon?" I growled and hoped he wouldn't want a fight.

"You know what I want, Little Xenia." Apollo looked at me as his twisted smile began to fade.

"Oh great. The little pathetic god wants a fight." Beth's voice came from the doorway. Apollo turned to face Beth.

"Shut up, you're not involved and neither is Styxx." Apollo hissed.

"But she is in my house." Beth hissed back. "And I have a child who is sleeping in his room so don't mess with me, or anyone in this house including Xenia." Apollo glanced back at me and smirked.

"See you around Little X, your days are numbered." Apollo flashed out of the room and I started to shake. Styxx put his hand on my shoulder and smiled a little.

"It will be ok he won't lay a hand on you." Styxx's words made me calm down a little but as for the part where Apollon had found me so easily was the worst part and made every nerve in my body tell me to run, that no where was safe. I would just put them in danger if I stayed any longer. A knock echoed through the house and I cringed. I had a bad feeling about the whole thing. Beth reentered the room with a girl that had strawberry red hair and eyes the were a very pale blue. She was about 5'2" and wore black skinny jeans with converse sneakers and a black tank top.

"Xenia, it is good to see you again." The girl smiled directly at me.

"Sabine? Is that really you?" I looked at her as I realized that she had changed from a week ago when we got separated. We were on the run from a group of Apollites when another group happened to join their hunt and we decided the best choice was to split up till we lost them.

"Yep! Like my new look? I ended up dying my hair and buying some contacts just to change up my look." Sabine giggled and I smiled at her.

"That was a good plan. I was kinda attacked by a group earlier today. I gave them a good ass kicking though." I smiled at her as she held up a bag and tossed a small box to me.

"You should probably change up your look too. Maybe we could look like twins?" She looked at me and gave me a curious look.

"Yea just dye your hair darker and get different contacts and we could." I smiled. We were nothing like twins but I was the reason she was still alive. I helped her escape from a couple crocks. She was beaten so badly she could barely move or fight than she was tossed into the bayou either for the wolves or whatever would get to her first. Luckily I got to her before anything major happened.

"Let me guess, you don't like the color I bought you." She looked at Styxx and Beth. "Its a mink brown, I thought she would look cute with it."

"Sorry, Sabine, but I like my hair color." I said Knowing that she would talk me into dying my hair.

"But we need to keep you hidden."

"Fine, I'll do it, but my eye color stays the same." I said and she smiled. "You didn't." Her smile turns evil as she giggles.

"Yep I did and besides they are your favorite color."

"Which color? We both know I have three." Styxx gives me a weird look and I smile as I name off them. "Black, Red, and Ice Blue."

"They are Ice Blue. They will go great with the mink color." She smiles. "Oh I also went clothes shopping for you." I sigh and looked directly at her.

"You know this is basically torture?" I smile at her and she shakes her head.

"No, this isn't but we both know what is…." Her voice trailed off and I looked away.

Two hours later I looked in the mirror as a stranger stared back at me. At 5'6" I stood reasonably short or tall how ever you want to put it. My hair had gone from black to mink brown and my eyes went from a green to ice blue. The clothes that Sabine had bought me weren't girly like I thought they would be. The top was actually cute... "Like I have time to go and buy half of this stuff when I have Gods up my ass trying to kill me for their own personal gain…" I whispered to myself. The top was red and the pants were black… and they were skinny jeans of course… Sabine always loved jeans that hugged her legs...

"Hey, Slowpoke? You almost done? I got some shoes for you." Sabine's voice came from the other side of the door.
