Ebony Wings: Chapter 18

Christopher

"Hey." Christopher called out to the girl closest to the entrance of the forge. "Hey!"

The girl looked and pulled her welding mask off. "Yes?"

"Hey uhhm-" Christopher looked around. "Is Aaron in there somewhere?"

"Yes he is. Who are you?"

"I'm Christopher. Aaron's friend." He replied. "He called me here."

"Alright then. He's inside, I'll take you to him." The daugther of Hephaestus eyed Theresa weirdly. "Your girlfriend probably shouldn't come in here, not with what she's wearing."

Christopher turned to look at his roommate. Holy, she had probably worn those clothes just smite him. If he were any lesser man, he wouldn't have been able to hold himself back from touching her or kissing her.

His head was still in turmoil because of her. He hadn't slept the entire night, insomnia and teenage fantasies were a nasty combination.

"Christopher?" Theresa waved her hand in front of him. "Yohoo, anyone home?"

"Sorry. What were you saying?"

"You can go ahead and meet Aaron, I can wait outside." She replied.

"Are you sure?" Christopher rubbed the back of her hand with his thumb, he was still holding her hand from just now.

"Yeah." She smiled at him. "I'll be fine. Just hurry up."

"Okay then." Christopher pulled away from her reluctantly.

"I'm Nyssa by the way." The daughter of Hephaestus introduced herself.

"Nice to meet you Nyssa." He smiled at her.

The forge was a mass of metal, heat and smoke. Several gruff and tall looking boys and girls were using machines or molding metal with their hammers or hands.
