Chapter 25 Don't laugh at me
It was Titus. I knew it from the moment the thing lifted it's head, the same dark skin, tall, muscular structure, the same strong jaw-line...the only thing different was the eyes. The eyes blood red bored into my own.
The Titus Mutt open it's mouth baring it's fangs again, now soaked in rich red blood that once coursed through Hades' veins. It stood up to it's full height, about 6.7ft, my blood goes cold. The Titus Mutt spread it's wings, the dark leathery material that clung onto the bones.
I begin to uncontrollably shake. The Titus Mutt locked it's gaze with mine. I can't look away...
I feel Baren nudge and my eyes snap to him, I give him a thankful look. I look over to Jennalee and Haden. Haden is currently checking for Blye's pulse, why Jennalee is standing over them, keeping an eye out for the mutt. Grandi who was next to Hades when he was swept off his feet, is frozen in shock, his sword hanging limply by his side.
"Baren. Run now." I hiss at him. Baren carefully stands up. He is then thrown through the air landing at Grandi's feet. I turn round to see another bat mutt. It is Bloom. Her blonde hair no longer caked in blood, her fur a honey colour. I scrambled back against the rock, I continue pressing my back against it, in hope I might fall through it. The Bloom Mutt advanced on me, spreading it's stretchy yellow wings.
Then something happened I really wished didn't happen, Haden threw something at it. It was a piece of firewood, it hit the Mutt on the head. The Mutt, stunned that someone would try and hurt, turned it's head towards Jennalee and Haden. Jennalee hissed
"If we don't die, I am gonna kill you Haden."
The Mutts began to advance on them, me obviously now the less interesting kill. Jennalee then jumped off the cliff. Haden alarmed for his cousin, dropped Blye and ran to the edge, I then heard a scream of frustration
"JUST JUMP HADEN!"
She had landed on an edge. Haden quickly jumped down, just escaping Mutt, who spat a sizzling liquid at him. Poison. The Mutts then took of flight diving off the side off the cliff.
"May, they are gone." I realised how tightly I was holding on the rock. Baren rushes up to me and helps me up. We hugged for a few seconds, then one thing echoed in my head.
"Blye!"
I sprinted to her. She rolled her head towards me.
"M...May..." She said in a bare whisper, her throat sounding crackles and damaged. I fight back the tears, and call Baren, he in runs to her and takes off his jacket, wrapping it round her stump.
It took us until dawn the next day to get back to the cave. We set Blye down, who sleeps (or faints?) as soon as she closes her eyes. Baren and I both sleep.
"...May..." Katniss whispers, her image crackling. "May...you...idiot..."
"What?!" I ask, bewildered she would say that,
"Stop playing hero!" Her image becoming solid "Kill her now! While she's sleeping!"
"No."
Katniss looks at me warningly
"She's practically dead, May, just kill her."
I that I turn from Katniss. I pinch my arm, desperately trying to wake myself.
I open my eyes. Through the gap, I see the sky on fire. A sunset. Then a shadow passes over me. My blood runs cool. I squint my eyes...it's only Baren. Wait. A knife. Blye. Knife. Blye. Knife. Closer...
"NO!" I roar at him, Baren jumps back from Blye in suprise, dropping the knife, I grab the knife and bring it crashing down on his skull. Not Blye. Baren blinks at me in disbelief before crashing to the floor, limp.
I drop my weapon. BOOM! I just killed Baren.
