Chapter 11 Lukas's wrath
The lift ride up is fast I feel guilty about hurting Emilia that's my entire fault I started the fireball I don't need fire I can stand the cold and with Emilia we have the ability to make a small fire. Why did I do that I revealed my secret to everyone. I'm so screwed I'm so screwed that's all that goes through my head everyone knows they'll be hunting me down now they'll think I'm a threat but they don't know how fast I can run I was slowed down with shredding dummies if I was running properly I would have been a blur I can doge a bullet literally. Now I don't feel a so bad I feel like I can protect myself and Emilia and the rest of my alliance if they make it through the first day that is. I have to change my view on this if people see me as a prodigy or something I won't get sponsors that are today was an accident. Make everyone think that I was just having a lucky day that's it. Once the elevator doors open we see Lukas he's obviously enraged.
"so I'm guessing that you heard about today then" I say weakly
"yes Owen I heard about today and the fire ball and I must say I'm very impressed" he has a serious tone but I know the impressed part is complete sarcasm " I've never known a demigod so stupid that when they try to make I fire they make a f*cking fire ball"
"Lukas I di..."
"can it Owen also heard you killed on the sword station as well you made an agreement that you did whatever I said Isn't that right" Lukas has turned from the drunk mess I saw on the train to a vicious monster ready to rip my heart out at any time "I said isn't that right!" he's yelling now.
"shut the f*ck up Lukas" I turn to see is the person saying this " if you missed being p*ssed so much then screw you but if you want to be a f*ck faced b*sterd then be my guest don't take it out on us it's not our fault today happened but you being horrible there's no excuse for. "
She walks off on triumph assuming she's beaten Lukas and by the look on his face I would say she has I walk past Lukas but not before shooting him a filthy look and walk strait to Emilia's room I knock on the dour gently.
"go away Owen" I can tell she's crying by the sound of her voice maybe she misses home or something its been crazy for her and maybe this day pushed her over the edge I leave her alone and go to my room. My wolf is now half grown there lying on a luxury dog bed I fall onto my bed after seeing this he jumps up on my bed and lays beside me I bury my head in his fur and drift off to sleep.
My dream is immediate I see artemis she's standing right in front of me.
"nice job today" she begins
"not you too" I reply
"not me too I'm quite impressed with what you did today" what how could she be impressed I've scared centaurs in unthinkable places her first thought should be how disappointed she is in me not how proud she is of me. "you've turned the tables in this the people that thought that you would be an easy kill have changed their minds most of them now fear you. And the fireball what was going through your mind then."
I laugh not knowing myself.
"I'm very proud of you Owen" Artemis says "and good job taking out the cameras otherwise Zeus would have had both of our hides"
"wait I thought that you were always Zeus's rules down to the last word." I ask
"well that was before he turned into a power crazy b*sterd and is making my kid fight against his girlfriend and twenty two other demigods for mainly his entertainment because he has no kids to lose. I better go now Kristy will be trying to wake you up for dinner good luck with that."
The dream ends and I hear the piercing voice again looks like she got over the whole TV rerun thing And is back to her hyper organised self.
"get up lazy bones or you'll miss dinner." Kristy says "dinner is chocolate fudge cake with chocolate ice cream"
she's found my weakness I walk out and sit at the table as far away from Lukas as I possibly can the food is a chicken stuffed cheese sauce with rice I didn't get the dish I cut it open and it overflows with the sauce once I bit into it the taste is amazing the sauce floods my mouth. After I'm done I need a drink my glass is a few inches to my left.
"can I have some orange pop mixed with sprite."
It's a wired drink I know but when I was little I accidently poured the two drinks into the same cup and ever since I've been hooked on the stuff. We eat in silence until
"so is anyone going to tell me or am I going to guess" asks Kristy
" I beat the record time in the sword station for every number of dummies even set by the gods"
I try my best to avoid the subject of what happened after that otherwise we have a very pleasant meal after dessert we sit around the lounge a boy about the age of sixteen asks me if I want a drink in the glasses I know that there is wine not a lot of it but enough that I know that if I drunk the entire thing I'd be drunk for the rest of the night and have a hangover the next day but I know that I can stomach it I've had some before but I still decline the offer. I walk to my room when I'm about to walk in I notice a stair case I follow it until I find a dour I push it open and the cold night air hits me suddenly I feel free I feel like all of today's cr*p has just gone and there's just me and this night. I look over the balcony I've only ever been to Olympus one time before but then I was on the run from Hade's furies so I didn't have the time to sight see. The light from Olympus's houses and the gods conference hall makes everything seem like it is magical.
"nice view" Emilia asks
I jump
"you really got to stop sneaking up on people well until the arena" I say "and yes it's a nice view"
She walks by the side of me
"every time we're here it's never a good occasion" she says
"bet Hades is having a ball right now getting drunker then Lukas when we saw him on the train he'll finally get his way and have me trapped in his personal dungeon to touchier me in so many ways until I apply for a rebirth which he'll deny until I swear my loyalty to him so I'm screwed" I say
"unless you avoid the waiting list also I heard if you die in this you go to Elysium and if you win the gods of the children in this give you gifts you get a house in Olympus and you get to go to school here too and you get one wish for anything you want." Emilia explains
"well I guess having a guaranteed pass to Elysium substitutes for being killed by fellow demigods. But then again Hades probably has a loophole especially just for me" I reply
After that we sit in silence I turn around and see the flower garden. I turn to Emilia
"you want to go for a walk ?" I ask
"sure"
We walk to it the flowers make a wall that goes over my head we find flowers that change colour depending on the feelings of the people around we walk to the centre of the garden we find and arch made of flowers we walk under it.
"I can't believe that in a few days we have to fight to the death we never got that first date that we planned. We were going to see a movie then have a meal at Mc Donald's."
It's only a few seconds before our lips meet and for the first time I'm not trying to calm her down or something ells for the first time were both generally kissing each other out of general feeling of love. After that we walk down the stairs together I don't want to leave her though it makes me sad to know I have to though if I don't tomorrow I'll be too Tired to try new training I kiss Emilia goodnight walk into my room get changed jump on my bed and doze off.
