CHRONICLES OF THE FOURTH HORSEMAN

b****y REUNION.(destiny)

I kept looking at my watch, I was not used to spending a school night in the bunker.I had a lot of tasks awaiting for me that morning and I also knew I had missed school for a few days and even though it would not affect my performance, it would worry my father a lot.Tonight I had to be the one doing the round check as Ophie was a bit "tied up".I had also tried to get the two to shut up and sleep but they chose to exchange love notes instead.All night long they whispered and laughed and tried to break free.

In the room next to mine was the three fate brothers who were up arguing over who should have taken the topmost bed of their triple decker.An adjustment that had to be done when they came in as they refused to sleep in different rooms but they kept fighting over the bed that night, the following morning Ophie, Geo and Squishy made them a decker which they were still fighting over.I also made a few visit to remind them there were other people in dire need of rest.The three would keep down for a while before resuming with their fights.They were unbelievable.

Little cupid whom I thought would be a problem, he was the most peaceful of them all.He was fast asleep, something that raised questions in my mind.Cupid was an angel that chose to be a baby.Angels never needed to sleep.They are never exhausted and they rarely react emotionally to provocation.Why was this little guy soo different? Why would someone choose to be a child, forever?How on earth could he even manage to sleep? Maybe that is why people say love is childish.I took my time watching him sleep and wondering what was going through his mind.Did he dream? and if he deed dream what did he dream about?

At about four in the morning I got off my bed.I had a little errand to run before going to sleep.The previous day I tracked down the trail destiny had left over time.I knew I was looking for some serious strong a*s dude.With him there were never days to rest.He had been working on a twenty six years old guy, Simon.He was meant to be a scientist by the time he turned twenty seven but so far nothing seemed to working as expected.Destiny had tries to write down the young man's destiny on his literally stone made book but it would go away.He was however not the kind of guy to give up all that easily and he would go back every day and try and write it over and over again.Simon was ruining it all by himself.He had joined the wrong peer groups, made the wrong choices every time he had to make them.Honestly if it were me, I would have given up a long time ago.Let him live the way he wanted to even if it was never meant.

Tracking destiny down was the easy part as I only had to follow Simon.Talking to him, that would be the toughest thing.He was not like the other three forces.He was never off his game and he was also not the forgetting type.Getting him to help me was also easy as he would do anything to help the humans no matter how many times they rejected him.However, understanding he would have to work alongside his savage siblings would surely be a turn off.With him I had to be careful with my choice of words.

I got off the bed, prepared myself a little as living with the crowd had seen to me adjusting to most of their ways.In twenty minutes I was out and today Ophie was not in his usual questioning condition.I never even had to tip toe to the bunker's door.I walked right past the two and they were too busy admiring each others jaw lines to even notice me.I hated seeing Ophie that way.I couldn't help but blame myself and my selfishness for all the pain and the struggle he had to go through.If I never told them about the end of the world, they would still be living a normal life, unaware of what would hit them.But now they were a part of my crazy life, my crazy believes,my crazy world, and they were getting hurt in the process.

I flew all the way to where destiny was seated on Simon's window.Curving words in his book.He saw me and recognized me immediately.He however never made even the slightest attempt to stand up, he never stopped what he was doing.I walked closer, trying to choose the perfect words as that was the defining factor of whether he would come with me or not.I took a quick glance at my watch and it was almost quarter past four.I had about one hour before it was time to go to school.I didn't plan on missing the classes that day as I had a project assignment to turn in and it was important in the coming exams.The others also needed a flight there as they were miles away.

"Hey this one is a tough one, isn't he," I tried to make small talk to lighten up the air around, dude wasn't at all interested.He replied by nodding his head in agreement before shushing me."Don't you see I am busy...just say whatever you came here to say.I know the you are working with the others and if you came here to ask me to join, I am not interested and I am not sorry about it," he went on.I knew it was going to be way much more harder than I thought, but I didn't walk away as he had suggested.Instead I walked closer, took a deep breath and just started talking,not actually to convince him to help me but to convince myself that I was doing the right thing.

"You know, if I never needed the help from you guys soo bad, I would never go looking for you.Before you I thought I had family issues but after I met yours, I realized how mine was way, way better.Yours is the most dysfunctional family I have ever seen.I can't stand the fate brothers fights.I don't like the fact that lady luck is so fast to judge or take side.Even worse, I can't wrap my head around the always jumping, childish and weepy cupid.By the way he have turned two of my friends into love vegetables.For the last eleven hours I have listened to them talk about weird things and I can never unhear that.I admit to the fact that I don't like how they behave or the extra tasks they have added onto my already overwhelming ones.Still I have to endure with them because I need an even bigger task done and they are my best shot at it.You know you could not be struggling this hard if they were around.Maybe if you realized you were not working with them because you like them but instead, you work with them to make sure you never had to redo a task, then you would be able to work with, maybe even appreciate them," I looked at him looking for an expression or interest.

"I come with you, we save the world, I get back to my normal life and you will be indebted to me," he finally said after a long moment of silence.I agreed and we were on our way back to the bunker where we found a confused crowd.Tom and Ophie were the morning people, they also made sure there was breakfast when the others got up but today they were not.The two had spent a long night whispering and laughing and now they were too exhausted to even talk but they were still exchanging those looks.I didn't know whether to tie them on the beds so they could forcefully sleep.

The others didn't seem so bothered, they only cared there was no one to make breakfast.I was so not in the moods to listen to them and I ordered Geo, Squishy and Miss Griffin to go and prepare breakfast while i took Ophie and Tom to their respective bedrooms and tied them on their beds.They still had over thirty hours before the love feeling wore off.Poor boys.

I had just locked Ophie's door when I heard noise from the hall.I rushed to check and as expected it was the four forces.Yelling and pointing fingers.Lady luck accusing the fate brothers of being bossy, the brothers accusing her of being so full of herself.The two forces would then blame destiny for not taking sides before turning to the crying cupid.Destiny was just quietly watching the others.

"Shut up you guys," I said imagining how bad my head would be throbbing if I were human.They never stopped, in fact, they pretended to have not heard me talking to them.I could feel anger raising inside me.I tried to control it but I had held up for too long and I was about to lose my temper.Destiny saw it and walked away and stood on the kitchen door watching, cupid saw it too, he stopped crying and followed destiny who held him close.The two seemed to have no grudge.The last thing I saw before blowing was The gentlemen in the kitchen standing by the door.

"I said shut uppp!," a black clowd formed on the ceiling of the bunker.My wings popped out and I went full Azrael on the four.I had not felt so light in the past few months.I had bottled up too much and that was the reason I felt doubtful and weary for the past months.I watched as the four coiled up at the corner of the hall.I knew I looked scary and that with the tone of my voice was enough to scare them silent." So, listen carefully, for the rest of your stay here, I expect zero arguments, zero fight.You also have until evening to come up with a way to live together without causing drama and pointing fingers.Understood?,". "Yes Azrael," they answered in unison.Slowly I patched down from the air and without saying anything I went to my room.Leaving the scared crowd to their business.Cupid was however laughing himself hoarse and for some reason it didn't bother me.

Breakfast was taken in silence.No one even cared to point out that there was too much salt in the eggs.After breakfast, Alice, John and I were off to school.Tom had to stay back and deal with his love situation.We left a silent bunker and hoped to find it still silent that evening.I had a wolf studies club meeting to hold that afternoon.We were preparing an initiation party to be held at the mansion coming weekend and I had to be present.I was on a week off from my job at the cafe and that gave me just the balance I needed.I also planned on sealing the rift from Acheron and bring back balance to the world.I felt much better after the outburst that morning and the tasks no longer felt impossible.All that remained was to live the rest of the day a task at a,time.
