~Conner's POV

I knew Travis was right around the corner. "How'd it go, little bro?" Travis asked me.

"Why do you wanna know? Should I tell Katie how much time you're spending with the Aphrodite girls?" I threatened. He paled. I smirked.

"Fine, did you make up?" Travis questioned and made his eyebrows do a little dance.

I blushed. "You could say so." We went back to camp in silence. I went through the rest of the day normally. Word spread around that I was "dating" a mortal. The Aphrodite girls kept bugging me. I would just shoot them with my Be Be Gun. It was pretty fun. I wasn't actually sure when I would see Jessalyn again. Guess I'll find out later.

*Couple weeks later* (A/N sorry for the time laspe. It's kind of necessary!)

I know I didn't keep my promise to Jessalyn. I've been really busy. (Great excuse right?) I've had monsters after me evey time I attempt to go and see her. She probably hates me by now. Today I was going to try and see her. Hopefully I would get lucky.

When I was walking down the street of her house I got an uneasy feeling in my gut. I felt like I was being watched. My dagger felt heavy in my pocket. I looked around, making sure there were no monsters.

I walked up to her porch and reluctantly knocked on her door. I heard footsteps on the other side. A frowning Jessalyn opened the door.

"Hi," I said nervously. She probably hated me for promising I would see her soon. If only she knew about me. It would make things a whole lot easier. She crossed her arms over her chest and tapped her foot impatiently.

"Hi," she stated in a blank tone.

"Jessalyn, I'm really sorry-" she slapped me. I rubbed my cheek.

"That's for brereaking your promise." Then she kissed me. I was very confused. "That's for finally coming." She kept her stance. (A/N I know that's from How to Train your Dragon)

I nodded. "I'm sorry. I wish I could explain why I couldn't come. I just can't though. I would get in huge trouble if I did."

"Since when did you care if you got in trouble?" Jessalyn asked.

"Trust me, this would be big trouble." I frowned. I wanted to tell her. "You want to go do something?" I said hopefully.

"I guess." She sighed. I grabbed her hand and pulled her off the porch. That's when things started to go wrong.

I heard a low growl behind us. I turned. I saw four empousa in the street. Their legs horrified me. One of them transformed a little. Her legs turned normal and a strapless, white dress appeared on her. She was beautiful. The rest of them stayed in their ugly forms.

I felt Jessalyn squeezing my hand behind me. I couldn't let the empousa's beauty distract me. I focused on the ugly ones. They started to walk forward. I took the dagger out of my pocket. I wasn't sure what Jessalyn saw. Maybe she could see through the mist.

Then another figure strolled up to street.

Blake.

He walked up to Jessalyn. "I told you we need to talk." He smiled evilly. I looked at him closely for the first time. The mist must of been strong, because this is the first time I noticed he only had one eye.

Blake was a cyclops! Jessalyn whimpered.

"That was you who sent that message?" she asked helplessly. Blake laughed evilly, like they do in movies. Okay maybe I added that part but I imagined him doing that.

I looked back at the empousa. They were about three feet away. Blake was about to grab Jessalyn. This was going to be difficult. I took my dagger and stabbed Blake in the arm. He yelped in pain and staggered backwards.

"Jessalyn, get inside," I commanded. She didn't hesitate and ran inside. Blake came after me next. He grabbed my arm in an iron grip.

It was my turn to yelp in pain. I stabbed him in the arm again. He didn't release my arm. The empousa were about to attack. I kicked one in the chest, with effort. Blake lifted me up over his head. He then threw me, and I landed on the street with a thud. I landed right on top of my arm. It hurt like Hades. I couldn't move my left arm. I tried to get up but, epically failed. The empousa started heading back towards the street to me.

"You will be out of your misery soon, son of Hermes," one of them hissed. Blake was heading in the house to Jessalyn.

I kicked one of the empousa in the leg, it hurt a lot though. The empousa just laughed. It's over, I thought. I reached for my dagger a couple of inches away from my hand. My finger tips touched the edge of the celestial bronze blade. I just ended up pushing it farther away. I turned over on my back. My left side burned. I let darkness take me. At least I died fighting for Jessalyn.

"The demigod gives up," was the last thing I heard before darkness took over me.

I know it was a very short chapter! Not even 1,000 words. I apologize but they will be longer. This was just kind of a filler. I could've written more but I wanted to leave a good cliffie.

I'm having a contest. It's to be a character in the story. These are the things I need to know.

1. The character's name

2. The character's godly parent

3. A description of the character

Thanks! Review!
