Hello! Fiftieth chapter people! And because of that, I decided to be nice. I have attempt to leave you with one non-major cliffie. No promises though. This is me we're talking about, after all. Anyways, don't have much to say. Wait- I have breaking news! Here it is: I own nothing. The studio also wishes me to tell you all to enjoy this chapter if you please! ;)
Hazel's POV
Leo moaned again, completely in sync with another scream, louder than before.
I had to make a choice, and fast. Before both demigods ended up with my father.
Sighing in resignation and defeat, I used the mist to camouflage Leo in the flower garden outside of the hotel. Then I rushed back indoors. If I was to save anyone, I would need backup.
"Stephanie! Oh, Stephanie, I need your help!" I wailed, running inside. The poor girl jumped again in her seat.
"What's wrong?" She asked, discreetly closing a window on her computer screen.
"My boyfriend went to get our van... And he was attacked by muggers! I can't leave my drunk friend alone outside, but I can't leave my boyfriend either!" I cried.
Stephanie stood up. "Don't worry. I can help. What do you need me to do?"
"Can you watch over my drunk friend while I help my boyfriend?" She seemed to hesitate at the thought of leaving her post. I sniffled a bit and wiped my eyes with my sleeve, finally convincing her to help me.
"Ok, fine. Where is your friend?"
Quickly, I led her outside to where I had hidden Leo. Thankfully, he was still covered with mist. I carefully peeled it say until there was only the mist to make it look like he wasn't stabbed with a hole in his stomach.
"Here he is. I hid him in the bushes because I didn't want anyone to see him while I went inside to get you," I explained.
Stephanie walked over, then leapt back with a scream. White faced, she looked at me. "Are you aware that your friend has a gaping hole in his stomach?"
"How'd you know that?" I asked, kinda upset. "I thought I did a good job hiding it."
Stephanie laughed. "You probably did. I can see through the mist though. I'm a daughter of Asclepius, minor god of healing and medicine. I think I'm also a granddaughter of Ares, but I'm not sure. I'm assuming you're a demigod as well? As is your boyfriend and 'drunk' friend here?"
I nodded. "Daughter of Pluto. My boyfriend is a son of Mars, and my friend here is a son of Hepaestus."
A scream rang rang out in the night.
"I'm also assuming that those aren't exactly muggers you were talking about. And that that was your boyfriend right there?"
I nodded, not trusting myself to speak.
Stephanie took out a spear with a sword blade at the bottom. "Present from my mom, supposed daughter of ares. Even trained myself using fighting styles I found online. I think I'm pretty good." She smiled. "Now go save your friend! The fire-user is safe with me."
I didnt ask how she knew Leo was a fire-user. I just ran in the direction of the screams. I'm coming to save you Frank.
(My brother just had surgery done today, so I had to watch him. I couldn't complete this chapter to my liking today. I'm so so sorry, but you know what they say. Blood is thicker than water, and whatnot.)
