Hoodied Goddess

I

The heavy labored steps of the grand elder was the only thing that you can hear inside the room. My hands tightened due to nervousness underneath my black hoodie as he takes his time walking towards me.

I can see my family at the side of the room, my mom and dad were talking about something with my eighteen older brothers.

And beside them was my small group of friends, who were giving me encouraging smiles, thumbs ups and mouthing good luck. When I turned my head back towards the elder he is now giving me a curt bow, to which I gave a small nod to.

"You have grown quite much since the last time you came here Denara." he said as he grabbed my left cheek pinching it slightly. "You have not changed even the slightest bit at all Uncle Dojoshuu." I stated as I rub my slightly swollen cheek, thanks to his doting.

He let out a breathy chuckle as he sat down with his legs crossed together on the floor, and after a few moments I did the same.

'Shall we begin now, Denara my dear.' He said through the connection we had. My only response to his question, was a curt nod. I closed my eyes letting the darkness consume my vision, as I recited my incantation in an unknown language that only I know.

Then, the same blinding light from thirteen years ago filled the room, when it died down I heard the awe struck gasps my friends let out when they saw me in my spiritual form.

No longer clad in my black oversized hoodie, loose fitting jeans and black Jordans. I was now dressed in a white silk gown that reached just below my knees with black embroidery lines on the golden waistband.

On my feet were peach sandals, my sunset colored hair that reached my ankles, was let loose from the braided bun it was in. It was gently sprawled on the floor like the soft brisk waves of the ocean.

When I opened my eyes purple flames soon engulfed my whole body, it was extremely painful. But I took it like a champ until it gradually died down and vanished. And when the last bit of the flames died down, I turned back into my normal form.

I was almost about to faint on the spot, but luckily Zach the eldest one of us siblings came to the rescue. He steadied my posture, but held my head against his chest allowing me to slightly lean on him for support.

"You did very well Denara, last time you only lasted a minute under the spiritual flames." Uncle Dojoshuu said slightly patting my head.

He then stalked off towards my parents, and the second he was face to face with them. He started a really heated conversation with them, his laid back and calm expression, was replaced with a stoic one. They were probably just talking about my status updates, or whatever that old doting geezer has to say to them.

Zachary slightly tightened his hold on me, "You did great back there Storm." He said, but then I unwillingly left his embrace. When Brooke and Brody the second eldest, who are questionably twins took me into theirs.

"Yeah Gail you made us proud." they said in perfect unison. With that said they had tightened their already too tight embrace on me, completely knocking the air out of my lungs. But thankfully another pair of hands grabbed me, and successfully gotten me out of the twins death hug.

But I soon regretted it when Asher, Ashton, and Ashtin the third eldest who were triplets took me into their suffocating group hug. "Aww our Crystal's growing so fast." they whined.

When I had successfully gotten myself out of their grasps. A sudden force tackled me, and it was no other than Finn and Flynn the fourth eldest: twins, and Timothy and Thyrone the fifth eldest who are also twins. "We still don't want are baby Anne to grow up." they cried.

After they had sobered up because I think they're drunk they got off of me. I was hugged again by Kristof the sixth eldest, Vlake the seventh eldest, Cody the eighth eldest and Oscar the ninth eldest. "Even if you're 17 already we will still treat you like our baby sis." they stated.

Then I was again pulled away and hugged again by Tristan, Trip, and Trever the tenth eldest, who are undeniably triplets. "Please don't grow up." they begged me.

"Hey guys quit suffocating her, look she practically looks like a squished blueberry.", Kyle the eleventh eldest scolded them, as he pulled me away from all of them and gave me a small side hug.

"But they're right Stacey even if you're 17 now we will still treat you like the little sister we all know and love." he says giving me a small kiss on top of my head.

"Alright boys, can you now give us our girl back, before she undergoes her untimely death because of your idiotic doting habits." Jazz Brewer one of my best friends spoke her hands on her hips, her red hair was a bit messy, probably because she ran a hand through it, and eye brows raised.

When I had finally got away from all of them I went to my friends and was soon greeted by questions, congratulations and scolds. "You were so pretty in that dress Stace." Tiffanie Jackson my overly girly raven haired Asian best friend squealed.

"But what the hell was that Stace when you said fire I though you were only gonna touch it not be engulfed in it." Wendy Aversole my Albino best friend scolded me, giving me one of her small punches. Which to be honest didn't hurt at all.

"And how in the name of Caramel did you not get any burns." Jazz exclaimed flailing her arms vigorously in the process.

"Well at least you had gotten better at it Stace." Cloe Turner my blonde Canadian best friend inquired. To which we all nodded in agreement, and we were enveloped in a comfortable silence.

When someone had broken it, "Sorry to interrupt kids but its time to head back home the grand elder is needed in the main world, but you girls are free to stay the night just tell your parents." Mom said quickly ushering us out of the temple and into the limo.

The girls soon dialed their homes and were given permission to spend the night at my place. During the rest of the five hour drive we conversed about random things. Cloe and Tiffanie gossiped about the latest rumors in their high school, which will soon be were I will study.

You see due to me being the prophecy of the Holy Descents I was home schooled my whole life. But now mom and dad suddenly announced last week that I'd be attending at my friends high school. I was fine with it but my brothers practically started a rally against my parents decision.

Until they gave up due to them cherishing their lives after mom had gotten fed up by their childish antics. And when I told the girls about the news, they practically danced their cheeky victory dance in front of them rubbing their win in their priceless faces.

We still had four and a half hours before we get back so we looked at our seating arrangements. Zach was next to Broke and Brody, who were next to Asher, Ashton and Ashtin, who were next to Finn and Flynn, who were next to Timothy and Thyrone, who were next to Kristof, who was next to Blake. They were on the right side of the limo.

On the left side sat Cody, Oscar, Trip, Trever and Tristan, then Kyle and me. Sitting next to me was Wendy, Jazz, Cloe then Tiffanie.

The twins and triplets were all asleep and cuddling together,and we couldn't help but bring our phones out and take pictures of them. For blackmail supplies, and teasing materials.

"You are so blessed to have eighteen hot older brothers." Wendy hollered as she took a couple more pictures of Asher, Ashton and Ashtin and went to the twins. I just shrugged at her and looked at my brothers that were awake for their reactions to Wendy's comment.

"Yeah right I'd rather call a mutant hotter than these things" I mumble, which I think Wendy heard because she let out a small fit of laughter the rose from her throat.

Yeah I still haven't forgiven them for planning on repeating high school just so they can keep an eye on me. What are they body guards or something? Or maybe some guys from an alternate universe that are in a mafia gang who want to kidnap me and my friends, for some sort of unholy sacrificial purposes.

Or maybe ghosts, that have a few unfinished business in the living world. And are planning to use our bodies as a host, to finish them.

Just kidding, man I do let my imagination run wild and crazy from time to time. Sue my anime addiction and BL loving habits.

Zach just rolled his eyes muttering something about girls being crazy. Kristof and Vlake just smirked their asses off. While Cody and Oscar laughed till their stomachs hurt. And lastly I expected Kyle to glare at her like usual whenever she talks about anything related to homosexuality.

But to my great surprise I saw him staring at Wendy and blushing. When the hell does Kyle blush? Let me answer you. Never. But now he's staring at my best friend looking like an over ripe tomato.

Not wanting to waste the chance, I quickly snap a picture of him still staring at Wendy. Oh man I'm gonna remembers this till I'm old.

Two hours more before we reach our destination, the guys woke up a few minutes ago, but not before we scrambled to our seat and acted like nothing happened.

"When will you stop this BL lover phases of yours." Zach sighed which got him a good bonk in the head from mom, who opened the little window from the passengers seat.

"Zachary how many times will I tell you that it is not a phase." Mom scolded as she retracted her hand.

Me and the girls snickered at at Zach who gave us a deadly glare, that didn't hold any malice at all, because he was a softie towards us. While the rest of the guys didn't even try to stifle their laughter like we did. They just straight up laughed at him like the siblings they are.

After a few minutes of them laughing hysterically, they all calmed down. And we were soon greeted with an unearthly awkward silence. And with Tiffanie being the most easiest one to crack. She quickly took action in taking away the suffocating silence, that had dawned upon us.

"Hey guys lets do a sing off." she trailed off.

And the rest of us agreed that we'd do it by group. So me and the girls, the three twins, the two triplets, and the single born. The single born were first and they sung Bad Liar by Imagine Dragons. Next was the three twins who sang Legendary by Skillet. The two triplets sang Lips of an Angel by Hinder. And we girls sung please don't go-Super Lovers.

We obviously won because when we reached the first chorus they were already crying their eyes out. Well we also acted it, Tiffanie was a Spryt (and so was the rest of the girls) so she shape shifted into Kyle, because she just loves to tease him and acted with Wendy.

We also got to see Kyle blush again, twice in one day. This day sure is full of surprises. But to double it up when the song stopped, Tiffanie who was still shifted as Kyle actually gave Wendy a kiss on the forehead, which made Wendy a human tomato just like Kyle.

It was a truly astonishing sight to see the two most calm, reserved, and tough people

I know actually blushing. You could practically feel the heat that they're radiating from their tomato heads.

The limo was soon filled with Kyle squawking like a bird at Tiffanie, his face still red from embarrassment. And Tiffanie rolling on the floor laughing like a psycho, clutching her stomach because it hurts from her non-stop giggles.
