xxx...What Hurts The Most Was Being So Close And Having So Much To Say...xxx

Atlanta felt like screaming. Even though she was uncosciouss, her gifted part of her brain was still up and running. The pain was just too much. The muscles and tissues just weren't knitting fast enough. And Chiron said that if they don't heal fast enough, the wound could get dangerously infected and could throw her psychic ability off balance. It was just too much. Over the past few hours her ability was going haywire. Things were being thrown everywhere and she couldn't control it. Archie almost got killed because of it but they called Persephone to help her. They all know that she's in alot of pain right now, but she has to subside it and make sure her psychic ability doesn't go out of control. But ever since her night with Damian, her powers have become more powerful and more furious than ever. If this is what she's doing when she's uncosciouss, then they don't even want to know what she'd be like if she wasn't.

One of Chiron's unused needles was forming a light and dark purple glow around it and it began to rise. Archie and Chiron's eyes widened and they ducked for cover as the needle pointed towards them and started to charge. It flew right above them and hit the wall instead.

"This is not good. That's the fourth needle in the past hour!" Chiron yelled.

"I know. But she can't help it." Archie said, walking to Atlanta's side and brushing her hair out of her face, kissing her forehead. "Are you sure there isn't anything else you can do?" He said, turning to Chiron in hope and fear.

"I'm afraid there isn't. We already gave her the hydration and nutrition shots so she won't cause anymore problems. And I've given her mthe other shots for a quicker heal but they're not working very well. It's like her mind is refusing them so the fluid won't spread throughout her body." He told him, taking the needle out of the wall.

Archie sighed and turned back to Atlanta. "I wish there was something I could do." He whispered, tears forming in his eyes and silently falling on her forehead.

"Archie?!"

Archie's head shot up and looked around. "Did you hear something?"

"No I don't believe so."

Archie shok his head, thinking it was just his imagination going wild.

"Archie? Can you hear me?"

"Atlanta?" Archie smiled. Weird. Her lips weren't moving.

"Archie what's happening? What's going on?"

"Atlanta your wound isn't healing properly and we don't know why. Chiron said it could be serious and they might have to do some surgery for it." He replied, putting his hand on Atlanta's forehead.

"Surgery?!!!"

"Don't worry Lannie. It's probably just a minor operation." He assured her. 'Doubt it.'

"Hey I heard that! Oh ya a slow healing of the muscle and tissue is something a small operation can handle! I don't think so!"

"I'm sorry."

Chiron looked at Archie like he was losing it.

"Archie?"

"Ya?" Archie said. It sounded like Atlanta was going to cry.

"I'm scared."

Archie sighed and gently stroked her face with his knuckles. "I know you are Lan. We all are. But the most you can do is rest and let your power do the healing. And we'll do the rest."

"I can't rest. I've been trying to rest for the past two hours but the pain is just too much."

"Try to ignore it. I know it's hard to ignore a pain as great as this but do your best."

"What do you think I've been doing for the past hour?"

"I'm sorry Atlanta but there is really nothing else we can do."

There was a moment of silence.

"A-Arch?"

"Ya?"

"C-Can you sleep with me tonight?"

Archie thought for a brief moment. "It's strictly off limits to the rules for us to not be in our rooms after our bedtime but I'm sure Hera can make another acception."


"Absolutely not!" Hera yelled.

"But Miss Hera Atlanta really did ask me if I wanted to stay with her!" Archie reminded Hera another time.

"How could she when she isn't awake?"

"I think she gained her ability to talk to people through their heads. Because that's what she was doing to me! She was talking to me! I swear!" Archie said.

"Impossible. Her powers can't develope that quickly."

"But it's true. I'll show you!" Archie said, motioning Miss Hera to follow him.


Archie silently walked over to Atlanta's body. "Atlanta? Miss Heras here and she doesn't believe that you can talk to me telepathecally."

"Well make her believe!! Wait, I'll do it."

"She told me to make you believe but she's gonna do it herself."

"I bet your pardon?" Hera said, looking insulted.

"M-Miss Hera?" Atlanta sounded a little uneasy.

Hera also looked around the room. "Did you hear something?" She asked.

Archie sighed. "That was Atlanta!"

"Miss Hera? It's me Atlanta. Archies telling the truth."

"Well he obviously is." Hera said. She turned to Archie. "I'm sorry for yelling at you. Atlanta clearly has some serious conditions and it would help her if she could have some company from someone she trusts. You may stay with her if you wish."

"Oh thank you Miss Hera!" Archie nodded.

Hera nodded back and left the Study.

"Well it looks like I'm staying Atlanta." Archie smiled, kissing her cheek.

"I know. Thanks Archie. I love you."

Archie smiled. "I love you more." He said. He pulled out the extra pull out sofa and set up his bed. He got under his blankets. "Try to get some sleep okay Atlanta? I don't wanna have to be waken up at two in the morning because you're screaming in pain." Archie said.

"I'll really try. But I can't turn this off because it's always on and I can't control it. So how are you going to control it if things are going to be shooting at you?"

"It's okay. They won't all be against me will they?"

"Probably not. But you might get hit a couple times just to warn you."

"I can handle that." Archie grinned. "By the way, where's Chiron?"

"He went to do paperwork or something and wanted to talk about Persephone about something. He sounded worried and scared. He said something like someone broke out of jail and is getting revenge or something like that."

Archie looked worried.

"You don't think he's talking about Damian do you?"

"I dont' know. I hope not but he was only put in jail about seven hours ago. So he shouldn't be out for a while."

"Okay. Thanks Archie. Good night. I love you."

"You too." Archie smiled as he drifted off to sleep.


"Miss Hera?" Chiron said, slowly opening her office door.

"I know Chiron. I'm worried too." Hera said, looking out her window.

"What are we going to do? Hades said that he's more powerful now."

Hera thought for a moment. "We do nothing."

"Nothing Miss Hera?"

"Nothing. None of our students know how to fight professionally yet except Archie, Atlanta and Jay. But Atlantas badly injured, Archie won't leave her side and Jay can't take on him alone with just us. We need more. But not right now. We've had quite a night. Time for rest. Good night Chiron."

"But Miss Hera..."

"I said good night." Hera confirmed.

"Yes My Lady." He said, walking out of her office.

Hera slowly turned to her window and looked at the beautiful night sky. "I'm worried once again Zeus. Atlanta is our best student in every subject and she is terribly hurt, Archie won't leave until she is up and running and Jay can't do everything himself. What are we going to do."

"What we always do." Zeus's voice echoed in Hera's head.

"Form an army?"

"Yes."

"But Atlanta-"

"I know Atlanta is in horrible condition. But that is our advantage."

"I'm sorry?"

"You see, the Code of War clearly states that if your army is not properly ready then the war cannot start. And since the three are going to be a part of it, the war cannot begin."

"Ah yes that's right."

"Let's just hope that he'll be patient enough for Atlanta to heal."

"I understand. He can be quite a hot head. Don't worry. I'l make sure the war doesn't start."

"As you should."


An evil laugh echoed around his big empty room. "Do they really think that since their best warrior is badly injured then I'm not going to stop? Fools. The mistook the Code of War." He laughed.

He got off his chair and looked at the sky just as Hera did. "I wrote it." He chuckled.


"Archie?"

Archie groaned and yawned. "What is it Atlanta?"

"Something is wrong. Someone does want to get revenge against this school. Or against us, mainly Miss Hera."

"Are you sure?"

"Positive. I was sorta, kinda butting into Hera and Zeus's conversation and they said there might be a war against this guy."

"Don't worry Atlanta. They'll figure it out. Just go to sleep okay?"

"Okay."

Archie laid down to sleep once again. But even though he knew there was nothing to worry about, he knew something terrible was going to happen and it was going to happen before Atlanta can heal properly. Which could lead to a seroius, seroius problem. If she doesn't heal fast enough and this guy comes to declare war, her wound could stop healing and could become infected and she could probably die. But he wouldn't let that happen.

The background was destroyed. The forests were destroyed. People were down. People were injured. A man with glowing red eyes looked around with a prideful look of accomplishment on his face. He laughed evily. But it seemed a man and a woman were the only ones standing. One girl using the rest of her energy to try to knock the man off his balance so the man beside her could strike at the evil man. Her plan backfired and soon she found herself on the ground. Her man beside her. Painting. Coughing. Dyeing.

She failed. They all... failed.

Ooooh. What's going to happeeen?!! You'll have to wait and see. And if you don't know yet, the two last paragraphs at the end? Ya, Atlanta was having a vision. So, only her psychic ability is working everything else isn't. She can't hear, see, move, well she can breathe but she can't do anything physical stuff. Just psychic stuff. And I have good news (for me that is). My brother, Colin, is staying at my dad's new house for March Break and if he really likes it there, then he's gonna move in. So I'm hoping he likes it so then it's only my oldeset brother and me. And my oldest brother is gonna move out next year or so. So it's a really happy time for me right now! Anyway. R&R! And don't forget about the application available. Send me a message if you're interested!!

Pray for my brother, I'll need it
