I hope you enjoy the sequel of Life is Full of surprises! R&R
"Oh my gods" I groaned. I felt like crap and I was in a dark alley with some boy I just met.
You see, I was walking home and I thought I saw twenty dollars infront of one of those dollar stores next to an alley way. So I walked over there and bent over to pick it up. Yeah, I was dissapointed to find it was only ten but hey, better to have something than nothing. I heard some footsteps come my way. My head shot up and I looked to my left, opposite of the alley. When I looked to my left... Ohh boy was I stupid. I mean half-bloods are suppose to be quick acting and all pro but no, I had to be the one with no common sense. I saw a boy with shaggy, black hair and really dark gray eyes. but that doesn't matter. He was stiff, his hands shaped in a fist. Why would he want to shape it in a fist? I opened my mouth to say something but he beat me to it. He literally beat me to it. He punched me straight in the face. After I blacked out into la la land I heard him mutter a sharp 'shit'.
I woke up next to a trash can in the alley. And you thought I was going to be in some hospital. hah, I laugh at that. My nose throbbed. I got off the wall I was leaning on. I blinked a couple of times before I could see clearly.
"You have a dagger.." the boy said. He looked about fourteen I'd say. He stood at the wall infront of me, crossing his arms and looking the other way.
"It's rude to look through people's back pack. It's even more rude to punch 'em in the face" I shot
"I'm sorry about that. I thought you were another one of those gang members. My name is Kyle"
"That's nice. I'm Tristen. What are you doing in an alleyway?"
"I uhh... Your nose is bleeding" he said
"What? Don't change the topic" I snapped
"Your nose is bleeding" his voice got higher this time. He bent down to his knees and took out his back pack. I would have eaten some amborsia but he might of been a mortal and I hate explaining. He unzipped it and took out a tampon and stuck it up my nose. Seriously.
"Why do you have a tampon?" I asked
"I uh... I stole this back pack" he responded
"Out of all things you decide to stop the bleeding, you chose a tampon. Why do you even have it?!" I asked. To tell you the truth I was creeped out but partly amused.
"You know, I thought it'd come in handy" he took one glance at me, "I was right" he said with a smirk. Once he smirked at me it sent a pang of guilt through me. He reminded me so much of Nico... I havn't even talked to him in almost a year. We tread on thin ice. I mean it's so awkward we didn't even intend to kiss but...we did. Like I said, awkward.
"You didn't answer my previous question" I said
"I'm in an alley because... can I trust you?" he asked raising an eyebrow.
"Uhm considering that we just met. Sure you can trust me" I said sarcastically. Apparently he didn't catch it.
"I ran away from home. From my dad. Why? What are you doing here?" he asked
"Well I was walking from home until someone punched me in the face. How long have I been out?"
"About seven minutes" he responded
"oh. Why'd you run from home?" I asked.
"I-" he stopped midway. There was a bunch of shuffeling and a low grunt. No, not a grunt, more like a growl. Heavy breathing followed. I pulled the tampon out of my nose. My lip went to a snear as I pulled it out. Disgusting... Kyle looked pretty happy he didn't have to explain things to me.
"Shit. They found me again" he whispered to himself. I got up to my feet and he grabbed my arm and hauled me behind the nasty, gross smelling dumpster.
"Who found you?" I whispered next to him. He looked me straight in the eye. As if thinking that I might report him to the looney bin or the cops.
"Belive it or not, monsters" he said. I turned around and grabbed my dagger. My eyebrows scrunched together. Was he a halfblood or was he mortal? Wait monsters don't go after mortals. I mentally slapped myself. Stupid adhd. I put my back pack down gently as possible and trying not to make a sound. I took a peak of the monster. That was a sphinx. That lion lady thing Nico told me about. What did she do? Oh crud uhh. Oh! She asked riddles. Once the sphinx passed us I took a look at Kyle. In his hand was a gleaming stygian blade. Before I could say something he threw it at the sphinx. It hit her in the lower stomach. I guess you could call it that. Yep let's go with lower stomach. The lion roared with rage and turned. Her beady eyes on us. Those black bottomless pit of lonely-ness. Poor thing she needs a mate. I snapped out of it. We both dived the opposite direction as she came charging in the trash can. Her body bounced back and rolled a few times before she stood up. Luckily the blade did do some damage. This time she charged for Kyle. He ran back. I really couldn't explain this part but, I jumped on the lion's back. This was like a rodeo. I was hanging on for dear life. One hand was on her mane trying to get a grip so I could stab her. My hand with the golden, celestial, dagger rose. Ready to plunge it in her head. I brang my hand down. Once, she was still pretty much alive. I kept stabbing her reapeatedly until she distenergrated. I fell off onto the ground. Kyle just stood there, frozen with confusion.
"Well. Are you going to help me get up or what?" I asked. He quickly walked next to me and helped me up by hand. Once we stood side by side and let it sink in.
"You're a demigod?" we asked at the same time.
