Weekend should be a time for relaxation. However, Ethan couldn't feel like relaxing. He wasn't able to do that, even if he tried. He had almost considered contacting Danny to see what he was up to. However, he decided against it. He was going to let this whole thing play out. Wait before striking and claiming the other as his own. He loved the thrill of the game of cat and mouse. He loved the hunt and hunting his prey. He was in no hurry to have Danny want him and only him. He would make the other fall so hard that he couldn't imagine a life without him.

It kept him up at night, sometimes. Trying to think of new ways to keep Danny's interest, to keep him from looking at other guys. The relationship between them had yet to be cemented and yet he was creating various ways to keep Danny within arms length. Every one he came up with made him have a strange feeling in the pit of his stomach. Part of him enjoyed the ideas. Enjoyed every last thought.

Ethan was actually trying to figure out how he even found this place. He had been up for a while and just wandered the town. He loved to just take off, sometimes, and just ride his bike aimlessly. He locked his helmet under his arms, his keys shoved into his front pocket. Jeans, plain t-shirt, leather jacket, and boots were his normal attire lately and he rather liked it. It was what he wore now.

He actually liked the look of the bookstore, the smell of it. It was different. There were plenty of human smells but then there were the supernatural. Faint traces of creatures that excited him to think about, as he had wanted to track them down and see if he and his brother could kill them once he learned of their existence.

He hid his smirk as he wandered towards the mythology. He knew there was truth in legends. Not all of it was completely made up. And he almost wondered if he could find a diamond in the rough, one that would actually aid him in his current thoughts. He doubted it, but it was worth a look.

Fox enjoyed walking into town as it always freed his mind. He found himself having too much thoughts. New school, no friends, an outcast. Those things tend to creep up on him and eat at his soul till one day he just snaps. Walking by himself helps him relax and calm down. He was about to start a brand new school once this weekend was up but he really just wanted to stay home and take care of his grandmother, even though she is mainly taken care of him.

She always seem to look after him and be there for him when he needed her most. But she was getting older year after year and one day she will not be there to pick him back up. All these years he thought he should get her something meaningful just to say thank you for everything. She loved to read and had million of books in her study. A new book, Fox thought to himself. Fox walked through the town wearing pants, a regular black shirt and a zip up hoodie. It was his normal look, if it wasn't pants it was shorts. It was a little cold out today which is why Fox had worn a zip up hoodie or he would be hearing his grandma shouting at him to take it off because its too hot for a jacket. Those moments all you could was just smile and laugh.

He sure loved his grandmother but he often missed his parents, never really knowing who his parents really were. Of course his grandma told stories but the stories were never good enough. All he had was one picture of them together. They looked happy and healthy, his mother was human and his father was the witch in the family. Few minutes passed Fox found himself looking outside the bookstore and he smiled.

Fox walked into the store and smiled at the cashier who looked like she hated her job and wanted to slam her head onto the desk. Humans these days he thought as he passed the action books, then the classics and never he found himself staring at a guy who seemed to be looking at mythology books. Smiling he walked up as if was going to walk passed him decided to talk to him. "My favorite charactor is Hades. He seemed like he got the end of the stick getting placed in the underworld after his brothers decided to go for the heavens and seas. Whose your favorite?" Fox spoke with a cheerful smile as he placed his back on the bookshelf that the guy was standing near by.

Ethan was trying to figure out how he had never been to this bookstore before. Sure, he had been laying low for a while. But still... He should have entered this place. He actually thought this would be his new favorite place in the town. It wasn't like there was anything better to do in this boring town.

He was curious as to what he would find in the mythology section. He usually went for more science fiction things, as they always were more interesting. So were thriller books and horror. But there was also something to like about myth. He knew a bit about myths, mostly that which had been handed down in his pack.

The teen was more than aware he wasn't alone in the shop. There were others in here to begin with. He couldn't expect the luxury of being alone in a shop. However, one customer decided they had to stop and talk to him just as he tugged a book off the shelf.

He glanced at the male, not really all that amused by his words. "I don't think Hades drawing the short stick is much reason to favor him above all others. However, I happen to favor Kali. Kali is not as evil as one would think. There are two aspects of life and both should be embraced. Rather than shove aside that which is evil, it should be acknowledged and welcomed. Even human nature as multiple aspects." He didn't even bother to return the cheerful nature of the other male. He just tugged down another book. "I also am not a fan of Greek or Roman mythology."

Fox didn't know much about Greek mythology but was always interested in the stories. Now in days we have teen mom 1, 2, and 3 on televisions. Society has come a long way but it has also declined over the years. What ever happens to chivalry and just being polite to others. The dancing now in days are all about grinding on each other and mainly having sex with each on the dance floor. Back in the older days dancing was a hobby and an art. It was classy and Fox enjoyed that kind of stuff and but then again it was maybe how his grandmother raised to treat others with respect. Fox didn't know how his mind went from greek mythology to chivalry and clubs but he let it happen.

He listened to the the male bring up how it wasn't much of a reason to favor him. It was kind of a blunt response and Fox almost took offend of it but everyone has their opinion. It's not because Hades got the short end of the stick its the way people treat him just because he is the lord of the dead in the underworld. Judging everyone by the outside whether then to judge on the inside. Fox wondered if people actually took the time to know Hades and not treat him like he was the grim reaper and enemey, they would actually enjoy him. But then again maybe not because Fox didn't really know much about him. "I mean its not because of that. I feel people judge him and afraid of him just because he is the lord of the dead, and king of the underworld. I admire him to be honest, imagine people all around you fear you and judge you because they only see the outside of you. But never get to know whats really in your heart." Fox spoke as he trained to explained his logic which could only end up back firing at him since it seemed like the guy he was talking about knew his mythology or knew enough about it to respond back.

But Fox was only speaking honestly, I mean if people knew he was a witch people would judge him so much he would hate himself and just give in to the darkness and just destroy everyone who even looked at him wrong. Fox was about to go on about the subject but realized he was talking to much and was boring the guy. Fox was only trying to make new friends and this guy seemed to care less and just be alone. "I don't know much about mythology. But I agree with you on the idea about human nature having multiple aspects." Fox said as he placed a half smile trying to not make things more awkward than it was. Fox wasn't even trying to hit on the guy, just trying to make friendly conversation but had to decide to be friendly with a tough guy that doesn't want to be friendly or talk. "Sorry if I'm talking to much. Just trying to be make friendly conversation. I'm new here or semi new just moved back to Beacon Hills since I was a kid. So I'm Mr. new friends here. Name is Fox, Fox Silver. If I'm bothering you let me know and I'll go on my way to find a book for my grandmother." Fox spoke trying to be sincere and apologies for being really talkative. Fox was now off the bookshelf and just standing normally waiting to hear what this guy was about to say to him. Then again he was already talking too much as he blabbered on on why he was saying sorry to him. If only Fox could just talk simple and short and life would be easier in these situations.

Ethan was quite curious to know how much the other knew regarding his mythology. It had always been passed down by his birth pack that he knew most like the back of his hand. Other myths he just read because he could. Because there was always something amusing about using mythology to compare to the death of someone. Like when he burned one of his packmates and compared it to Icarus getting to close to the son.

Of course, this was all something this stranger did not need to know.

He listened to the words and actually felt like the other might know a little bit more about mythology than he let on. However, he knew the words the other spoke so well. But he gave people a reason to fear him. He was something to be feared, not something that one should consider as harmless as a kitten. He was a wild animal who didn't take fondly to people. So he knew what it was like to be judged, to be feared.

"Did you think that perhaps Hades never worried about such a thing? If he did, he would not continue to drag people down to the underworld. He wouldn't be greedy. He would try to be seen as a more benevelont ruler. I'm quite sure that the others Gods are ready if he dared try to invade this realm to add more land to his own."

No. He wouldn't pity Hades, nor would he himself be able to identify as one who didn't like being feared or judged. No. He didn't care about the opinions of others. Everyone had a right to their opinions or views. Which is exactly why he decided to speak his own.

Ethan tugged out a book on Celtic mythology and thumbed through the pages, glancing for key words. "There's a lot regarding mythology that still aplies to our world. After all, mythology came to be because of man."

He glanced at the other for the first time in a while. "I'm Ethan Reynard. I'm also new myself. Well, not as new as yourself." He'd been here four months. But he had never stepped foot in Beacon Hills prior. Just talking was his way of confirming that he didn't believe the other to be an annoyance.

Fox nodded as he listen to Ethan talk about mythology and put in his input on Hades. It was kind of attractive to Fox, a smart guy and a good looking one at the same time. Fox never really talked about his sexual feelings because he felt dumb talking about them to people. All he knew was that he liked girls and guys. Would Fox act on this feelings and maybe try to hit on this new guy he just met. Most likely Fox will just ignore them like he does to every type of feelings he gets. He just wanted to meet friends right now and wasn't even looking into the whole lets have fun or relationship types. So Fox smiled and kept listening to Ethan and waited for him to stop talking.

"Yeah obviously the other gods would be ready if Hades did try to invade but he was given a task and job. His job requires him to drag people to the underworld. Can't really drag people to the underworld and make it beautiful you know. It's one of those jobs you just gotta deal with it because no one will ever like seeing it happen or talked about."Fox spoke on Ethans response about Hades. Fox really didn't know much about mythology but he always wanted to learn more in it's history. Ethan began to flip pages from a Celtic mythology book as he spoke about mythology coming from man.

Fox's eyebrow rose up a little bit as he heard the statement about mythology applies to our world. Like for example, witches of all people. Fox was a witch and he knew his ancestors and other witchs had a history that was connected to some story or events. Fox leaned in to look at some of the pages Ethan was reading and then leaned away from the book. "Like maybe witches and werewolves?" Fox thought it be a great discussion. Maybe Ethan knew something about witches because he seemed to know a lot of stuff.

Ethan almost wondered if the other Gods would really be ready if Hades decided to try and take over the earth. He heard stories of demons, legends that they walked across the earth amongst man. That you had to use your nose to tell the difference between man and evil. That you could invite them in, gain power, but lose your soul to eternity. That Hades' dealmakers are craftier than were-foxes and never to be trusted.

The teen hummed. "Or he does his job because he enjoys it. The thought that his actions would upset his brothers who drew the better straws. Perhaps his personality was twisted and what he sees as being right is the exact opposite to everyone else. His sense of justice is fueled by hatred and personal feelings." He glanced at Fox. "Not everyone in the world is fueled by a moral compass." He wasn't. But the other didn't need to know that.

He glanced back at the book and flipped the pages. He always purposely gave hints when he was curious or bored. He never actively looked for fights when he didn't have his brother around. But he was usually good at telling werewolves apart from normal humans. He was a trained killer after all. He needed to know how to be good at everything.

He was quite interested in the words the other spoke. He could easily tell his words interested the other, but he played it off. He presented an appearance of indifference. "Witches, werewolves, vampires, mermaids, sirens, fairies, demons." He flipped the page of the book. "Just because man can't prove they exist doesn't mean a thing because they can't prove they don't exist." He glanced at Fox. "The theory of evolution should always be considered." That magical creatures advanced so they could blend in to survive amongst humans.

Fox listened to Ethan as he talk about how Hades's personality is twisted and his sense of wrong is his sense of right and vise-versa. Fox never had thought about that scenario before and had to think about it. Nodding to Ethan, Fox kind of agreed with him about the whole personality idea. "It could be possible that Hades personality was twisted. I mean that's more common here in the world, government, society, and so forth. But to be honest no one will ever know for certain what is truth and what is myth." Fox spoke as he stood there watching Ethan as he look over more pages in the book he was reading.

The idea of evolution was indeed something that is connected to everyone in one way or another. Magical creatures or beings have to learn to blend in. If he was ever found out the city would burn him alive or create riots and drive chaos through the world he knows today. "So you believe they are real? I don't think society could handle such things. Chaos would spread, homes would be lost, and to be honest more death would appear." Fox spoke what he thought would happen if the world or society found out that magic was indeed real. "But your right. Just because man can't prove certain things exist doesn't mean they don't exist." Fox was about to say something about evolution when his phone went off. The Darth Vader, imperial march song shouted through his pocket. "Sorry, have to take this. My grandma." Fox grabbed his phone out of his pocket and walked away for a quick second.

"What's up grandma?" Fox asked his grandma on the phone. His grandma began to talk in a rapid speed, but only the things Fox already knew. She was checking up on him and reminding him that she was leaving in a few days and wanted to know if he needed anything. "I'm just out for a stroll in town, be back soon. And no grandma I'm fine. Okay...I'll see you tonight. Bye." Fox spoke as he quickly tried to answer his grandmas questions and get off the phone with her. Fox walked back over to Ethan to apologies that his phone rang, "Sorry about that. Grandma leaving mid week for the weekend. I might throw a party Friday night. If your free come on by and bring your friends." Fox smiled as he thought about throwing a party Friday night. It might get him to make new friends or maybe not because no one would ever show up. Fox pushed the thought aside and focused on Ethan and waited to hear what he was going to say. He lost his train of thought and couldn't remember what he was going to talk about before his grandma interrupted him.

Ethan couldn't help but hum in agreement to the words. No one really would know. He certainly didn't want to know. As that would mean he was either dead or dealing with a demon. He didn't want to deal with either of those situations. He was quite fond of being alive and he doubted he could hold his own against a demon. He heard that they were even more dangerous than Deucalion.

The Alpha didn't really bother to look up from his book at the question. "I'm merely stating that man cannot prove they don't exist. I never stated I believe them to be real, but I have been given no reason to believe they don't. They just are." Why state that something does or does not exist when it hasn't been proven either way. They just are. But he knew that they existed. He was a werewolf, had had run ins with other magical beings. But this guy before him didn't need to know any of that.

He barely glanced up when the other said that he had to take a phone call. He quietly shook his head and flipped pages in the book. He was wondering why books couldn't even be more useful. But then he found something interesting and he halted in his page turning to read the article. He barely even remembered he was having a conversation until Fox returned. He resisted the urge to just growl. He knew he had to behave.

The werewolf rolled the words over his tongue. Party? Friends? He wanted to laugh. Fox did not want his brother there. Though if it was him wanting people to be there, he knew exactly how to get an entire werewolf pack to attend. That very thought was actually quite amusing, and made him faintly smirk. "Hm. I think I could probably make it for a little bit. I'll certainly pass it on to a couple others." It was more out of amusing himself than for Fox's sake.
