Chapter 7

Cecelia

(A/N: All chapters with POVs of Mike, Silena, Aaron, Cecelia and Allison will continue where Ebony Wings ended.)

(A/N: All POVs with Aidan, Theresa, Lucian and Darius will take place two years after Ebony Wings ends.)

Cecelia twisted the sharktooth necklace that was around her neck.

It was still surreal to think that Zed was dead. She sometimes imagined turning the corner and he would be right there with his beanie over his head and that grin of his plastered on his face.

It was sometimes even weird to think that about 2 years ago, Zed had been a love-sick puppy towards her.

Zed was always a weird one amongst the Ares kids, too tame to fit in with his siblings and too wild to be like the rest of the camp. Along with the fact that Zed was probably one of the most gifted Ares's children, he didn't belong in his cabin, out of jealously.

When Cecelia came to camp, Zed instantly set his eyes on her.

Okay, it was adorable but she wasn't interested.

It took a while for Zed to realise that- more specifically, about a year- but they remained in good contact, even after Cecelia and Aaron fell in love. Zed remained by her side and came one of her closest friends.

Aaron- she remembered when she first saw him.

There was this guy who was bothering her and Zed was trying to defend her. They were really close to a brawl, when Aaron stepped in to stop them both.

He was covered in dust and his hands covered in oil, but he still looked like the most powerful man in existance.

And she was almost right. Aaron was unbreakable. She had never seen him raise his voice at someone, never seen him show anyone disrespect. Even when fighting or getting mad, his tone held a certain calmness that no one else had.

Aaron began sitting around the stables with her, just to hang out because he didn't like the idea of Cecelia bring in the forge where she could get hurt easily.

Aaron's infatuation was adorable. His tough demenour was changed by him fidgetting or stuttering in her presence. She didn't know what it was about him that made her return those feelings but she did and they shared their first intimate moment during the 4th of july fireworks.

She smiled at that memory. Things were good when it was just the three of them
