Tears filled Jays eyes as he sat beside Theresa, not knowing how to move, or touch her. Her stomach was a ( NA sorry for the graphicness) bloody mess, that made Jay not want to look, and he would'nt if it were anyone but Theresa. Odie looked at the pain in his leaders eyes, not wanting to mention that Theresa probably wouldn't last. He didnt know what to do either, but his best guess was getting her to Chiron. " Jay, we have to get her to Chiron, or she will...." Odie trailed off at the end of his sentence, worried for Jays reaction to it. Jay got the picture, and with pain in his eyes, and blood on his shirt, he gathered up Theresas body, and started running through the tunnel where it all began. Everyone followed him, not knowing what else to do in this situation.
Atlanta caught up with Jay who was rushing out ahead of everyone in worriement. " Jay, Im going to go warn Chiron of what happenned so he will be ready for what's to come." Atlanta looked at Theresa who was hardly breathing, and was squirming uncomfortably in Jays arms from the pain. "Theresa, you need to stay strong, I know you can." With that, Atlanta sped away.
As they reached the snowy forest, Jay tripped over a stone that was lying on the ground in front of him. He stagerred forward, almost dropping Theresa. Herry caught them both, but Jay pulled away angrily, limping the rest of the way. Herry noticed that Jay was in alot of pain, and that he must have hurt his foot when he fell. " Jay, I'll take her." He offered, reaching out his arms for Theresa, desperately wanting to help in any way possible. Jay handed over Theresa as she winced in pain.
" Where did our boat go?" Odie looked around the shore line, then he spotted it. " Guys, its over there." They reached the boat, and noticed that it had been bashed by giants. Cronus' giants most likely. " What do we do now?" Asked Archie helplessly. " I could probably fix it, but I need some time. Its pretty badly damaged." Said Odie, not knowing if Theresa would make it in time. Jay nodded, understanding, but in fear for the life of Theresa. Theresa was now hardly breathing, and the cuts hadn't stopped bleeding, and were by the looks of it, getting wider. " Herry?........... Is that.....you?" She asked, just making out the words. Herry shifted positions as he carried her. " Don't worry Theresa, we'll get you safe, I promise."
Cronus was watching all of this in a pool of the very poison used on Theresa. " Arghhh!" He yelled, splashing away the remains of the picture, wishing it were that easy to get rid of the kids themselves. " They might reach that Chiron of theirs before the poison takes on its full power to kill her!" Cronus rubbed the sides of his head like an annoyed parent. Then he had an idea, looking his giants up and down. " Hmmmm... Maybe we should send some visitors to slow down the party." Cronus rubbed his hands together, looking like a murdurer of many people.
While Odie was trying to repair the boat the best he could, Everyone was gathered around Theresa, watching her go in and out of visions. Neil on the other hand, didn't feel like joining the rest of the guys. He sat by himself until he had to scream. Archie came to where Neil was to find six giants towering over the cowardly blonde.
" Get the others!!" Archie commanded to Neil. Two seconds later, everyone but Theresa, Odie and of course Atlanta, ran up to where to Archie stood his ground, waiting for backup. " Whoa! Where did those things come from?" asked Herry, obviously not getting the point of destroying them right away. Archie rolled his eyes at his clueless friend. " Who cares? Lets kick their butts!" Herry took a giant and slammed him into a tree, and another into a giant rock. Jay scared a giant into a corner with his sword, as his foot stabbed a pain of its own. He tumbled backward as the giant pushed him lightly, clutching his foot in pain. Herry immediatly rushed over to Jay, and seeing his condition, convinced him that they could handle the giants, and for him to rest. Jay hesitated at first, but realized that Herry was right. Herry helped Jay limp to where Theresa was lying.
Archie and Herry took out the rest of the giants, leaving Neil cowarring in a corner. Herry took out one more before leaving the last one for Archie to have fun with. Neil wanted to attempt at this giant as well, but was knocked out. Herry dragged him back to his corner trying to wake him up. Herry looked at all his injured friends, and wanted to cry, especially for Theresa. Her breathing was short and fast paced. Her bright eyes were now a dull grey. Her skin was pale from loss of blood, and Odie could not fix that stupid boat!
The giant Archie was facing was smarter then he had expected. He grabbed Archie by the head, and crashed his feet against the ground, smashing the brace, and shattering Archies ankle. Archie screamed as the bones in his foot shattered like broken glass. Peices of the brace ripped through his skin, and all he could do was scream. Herry finished off the giant that had crushed his friend , and helped Archie to the others. This was horrible! There were only three of the whole group left uninjured. Himself, Atlanta and Odie.
Herry looked into his PMR wich was ringing. Atlantas face came on the tiny screen. "Hey Herry, we have Chiron and the rest of the Gods prepared. How is she?" Herry looked across the cave ground at Theresa, who didn't look to good. " She has been doing a bit worse, and Odie can't fix the boat we found. How did you cross?" He asked. " I will tell you later. Can I talk to Archie?" Herry looked over at Archie who was clutching at his foot hypervenelating. " I don't think he can talk right now. We had a visit from some giants, and..... lets just say we need three extra beds in Chirons office." A shot of worry struck Atlantas face, and she nodded slowly. " Ok Herry, I will see you soon."
Herry blinked at the blank screen. He didn't want to break her heart telling her that, but they had to be prepared for extra injuries, right? I shouldn't have said that. She was already having such a bad day, and I just made it worse! Man! I am such a bad best friend! He told himself, sighing.
" Okay, the boat is ready." Said Odie, proud of himself. He came to where everyone was, and started shouting. " I leave you guys for five minutes, and you all get hurt?!" Herryshoved Odie playfully but with concern in his eyes. " It was more like an hour dude!" Odie looked over all his friends and then at Herry. " Oh, yah. But what hap-" He was cut off by Herry. " I will tell you later. We have bigger concerns right now." He said gesturing to their friends lying on the stone ground.
Herry and Odie started to help people to the boat. Herry slung Neil over his shoulder as Odie helped a limping Archie to the boat. Jay tried to lift Theresa to the boat, but his knees buckled, and him and Theresa went hurling forwards. Herry got there just in time to catch both of them. " Thanks Herry." said Jay sincerely.
Once they were all safe in the boat, Herry sped it across the water as fast as it could go. Theresa turned and moaned in the seat of the boat. Odie stole a glance in Theresa and Jays direction, and decided to tell Jay what had been eating away at him. " If we don't get her to Chiron soon, the pain will be to unbearable for her to handle. Jay didn't leave Theresa's eyes. He took what Odie said slowly into his mind. " Theresa, I need you to stay awake. Don't leave us. Don't leave.... me." Theresa felt her heart flutter through the pain for a second, then it drown again. Theresa clenched her stomach as a sudden jolt of pain shot through it. " Im.....sorry Jay..I ca..c.c..ant." She fell into a strorm of darkness after she said this.
When they reached shore, the Gods were waiting patiently and worriedly for Theresa and the rest of the injured team. Aportal was opened the second the boat was tied off. Atlanta was wqaiting for everyone on the other side. She had been crying, and it showed in her face. She rushed to Archie to support his right side. (NA do not tell me it is the left side, I did my research) She offered Jay her help as well, but he refused, and limped along as Herry carried Theresa.
Jay wished there was some sort of elixer that would bring her emerald eyes from the grey, and her glowing smile back to her face. But instead, there lay a lifeless Theresa, The same Theresa he invisioned in nightmares.
