A/N: Yay! Ten chapters! And... registration. this one is going to be short. :P
Chapter 10-LeoOk. Personally, I kind of like Faith, but she's way out of my league. When Thierry said that she liked me, and by her reaction, it goes both ways. She could be mad at him for saying it out loud or just mad because what Thierry said was a lie. Sooo, if I told her that I liked her (I think I already did) then would I face rejection or… something else? My mind was swirling with multiple ideas at once, different scenarios, good, bad, horrible. Well, it would be good to tell someone, I thought. What?! Are you trying to kill me, brain? Have you seen how many followers she has? And when she grabbed me on the arm, that guy from the Ares cabin, Henry, cracked his knuckles! I sigh, trapped in a corner by my dilemma, and watch as Faith runs to Thierry and kisses him on one cheek. Wait, rewind. She KISSED HIM? My mind is going several miles a second. Next thing I know, my fist has connected with Thierry's jaw and he's flying back. I feel the rain strengthen, and Faith's holding a lightning bolt again, looking like Thalia or Jason. The skin on her palm is seared off. Speaking (or thinking) about Jason, he decides to arrive into the mix. As if this wasn't drama enough.
"WOAH WOAH THERE, GIRL! WATCH IT- OW!" That was Jason crashing back into the trees, backed with an ice spear. I wince, for a second forgetting to watch Faith. She's a Siberian tiger now, bowling me over and knocking me to the ground. She's growling, roaring, hissing, and baring her teeth at me. Well, I think this is it, I think. I kind of deserve it, though. I did punch her boyfriend. I think maliciously. But I can tell Faith is getting tired. Keeping a storm up for about three hours takes a lot out of you. She's morphing back, and then she collapses on my chest. Her weight presses down on me, and I guess, 97, 90 pounds? Whatever. As long as she's with me, I think. Faith whimpers a little, and snuggles into my shirt. I look up at Ericka. She's feigning regurgitating into some bushes. I smile a bit when Thierry comes back staggering, with a brand-new bruise on his jaw. Great. His girlfriend's cuddling me, and then the boyfriend comes… that's not a good combination. I know that danger's next.
His ears flick up, and his eyes flash in annoyance. He pounces on me, turning into a lion in midair. His claw leave deep scores in my flesh, and I immediately do my thing: I light up on fire. However, I had forgotten about Faith. She, unfortunately, is not fireproof. She screams, and kicks me in my crotch. I curl up into a fetal position as to cover my face and vital organs. Thierry suddenly stops with the blows. I curl up even tighter, waiting for the death blow. I open my fingers a crack and see that Faith's in a lip-lock with him. I groan on the inside. But then I see that Faith was not expecting it because her eyes are open in shock. She pushes him away and goes over to me.
"Are you ok?" she asks, her silver eyes glinting with worry.
"Other than seeing you kiss Thierry, I'm fine." I say and wince when I try to get up. I hadn't noticed when Jason came back, but he helped me get into a sitting position. I winced, the pain rocketing through my body.
Faith hissed and glared at Thierry. "YOU FREAKING IDIOT! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!" Her head whipped back to face me and I saw her channeling the last of the Power to heal me. Drake came over and helped too, at some point. I couldn't remember because Faith was huddled underneath my arm, pressing her hands to my side, the Power coursing from her to me. I could feel the wound closing, the blood drying and cracking off. When I ran my hand over the area, there was no sign that there was ever a large gash.
"Thank you Faith." I whispered, but she had already fallen asleep.
I carried her in my arms all the way to the Hephaestus cabin.
O.o, DRAMA!
Ok, I lied, I just kept typing. this one was a little longer.
LOOK FOR ELEVEN IN THE AFTERNOON! :D
