"JONAH!" Reyna screamed.
I stepped back looking at my hand, no way had I just done that.
"Liar." Dakota laughed, "Can I say I told you so anyone?"
Calls of, "He's a traitor!" or "Kill him. He's not supposed to be here!" or "Treason!" were coming from all around me.
Dakota looked at me, "Ha! Looks like you times up!"
"Dakota wait!" Reyna screamed at him, "Jonah Di FREAKING Angelo! If you don't get your arse here RIGHT now, I am going to kick it!"
Woah. Everyone seemed to shut up as a boy ran forward.
"What's u- How in the freaking name of Pluto did Bobby get like this?" He asked worriedly.
"Percy has poisoned him." Dakota snarled.
"NO! I didn't!" I defended.
"Well," Jonah mused, "his life force is fading...but getting stronger at the same time."
Everyone raised an eyebrow at him, even me.
"Let me explain-" He started.
Gwen intejected, "That would be good!"
"As I was saying," He said slightly annoyed, "his childlike aura that always surrounds him is fading, it seems he is growing within. His appearance will catch up...hopefully."
Reyna looked so worried, "Is there anything you can do? Maybe your patron?"
"You expect Proserpina to help me now? It's the winter! If you want help from her ask Maria!" Jonah replied.
I sat on the floor. Dakota leaned in and whispered in my ear, "What did you do to my poor friend Bobby now? You're gonna pay for this!"
I couldn't help but shiver. His voice reminded me of someone. I turned to look at him. "Who is your father?" I asked.
He laughed. He laughed? "Mars kid. And I have a score to settle...but it will wait."
I looked back to Bobby, a black haired girl was mixing herbs and almost looked like she was praying. "We have time. What score?"
"My father...has told me never to tell." He muttered.
Gwen looked at Dakota and I glaring at each other, "What's going on here?" He asked.
"Oh nothing. Just talking to the traitor." Dakota said.
"I'm not a traitor!" I yelled.
"Stultus Oniger." Dakota muttered.
I sort of could translate it and I got a little annoyed, "Oi!" I yelled at him, "Gonna call me that then?"
"Oh so he knows insults in Latin?" Dakota said in a patronising voice.
"You remind me of someone I hate." I said, "I remember something bad happened to her," total lie, "and she had a little bit of a deflated ego afterward."
"How do you know if you cannot remember anything, Prissy?" Dakota yelled in my face.
Reyna started crying. Gwen saw this and yelled, "Guys stop this!"
I saw Reyna crying and ran to sit next to her, "Hey Rey," I said soothingly, "what's up? Not worried bout Bobby are you? Nothing is going to happen see?" I pointed around to all the people around helping.
She gasped for air, "You guys were fighting...it scared me. I thought you were going to get hurt."
"Well we aren't now." I said, showing her myself pointing out the fact I was talking to her and Dakota was talking with Gwen. She started laughing and the sound made my heart do somersaults.
We all watched Jonah and the girl, I had found out was called Maria DiAngelo and was Jonah's twin, work.
Bobby had grown through the hours that they worked and started to look more and more like me. It was really really freaky.
Eventually after ages of waiting Maria finally hushed everyone, "He's waking!"
Bobby's eyes fluttered slowly open and he looked at me and said, "I must go to my father! I have run away from my patron again! Salacia, please forgive me!"
Salacia? What is it with these Roman gods?
Another chapter! The reason they all have patron is to do with the plot don't worry! Please review and I was wondering do you think I need a beta? If so, anyone wish to beta? Yeah...opinion! :-D
