I would like to clear something up here. I have gotten a few messages saying that Drew is much better than Hylla for Sam and that his relationship with Hylla was too quick. Two things my dear dear readers! 1) Drew was perfect for Sam in nearly every aspect but one; she never matured, Sam matured and professed his love and Drew still stomped in his heart. Hylla on the other hand understood Sam on a much deeper level. 2) Love has no timeframe. It does not take a certain amount of time to know that you want to spend the rest of your life with someone. For Sam it didn't take long. Glad we straightened that out!
As Amos and I packed up my jeep, with my finally mended arms thank fuck, he handed me something wrapped in a cloth. I frowned "This was all I could get, I really am sorry Sam." he said softly as I opened up the cloth to find the remnants of Discord. I could feel tears building up as I looked at the ruins of my gun.
You could hardly tell what it was at this point, the stock and barrel were the only discernable things and the lever action was ripped off. This gun was beyond repair at this point. I threw it into the trunk before gripping my falcata and cutlass, the two swords I actually am attacked to. I don't fight often with blades I prefer distance...less blood splattering on me. I scowled as put my jacket on, Annabeth had stitched up the rips but they weren't magically stitched so they could easily be ripped open again. It upset me beyond belief how damaged my jacket was but don't worry, I'm gonna fucking kill Wolf for that!
At any rate Amos hopped in the driver seat while I rode shotgun, my arms were still a little sore so he volunteered which I did not object to. As soon as he started up the car I rested my head against the window and closed my eyes.
The dream I had was...interesting.
I was walking up a hill however I somehow could tell that I was not in my body. As I reached the top of the hill I saw nothing but farmland and grass, I looked to my right and saw a man standing next to me, he was wearing some kind of leather helmet. I felt my head and felt the same type of helmet, looking at the two of us I saw we were wearing matching armor. The man started saying something but I couldn't hear anything, I saw that he had short black hair, a gentle face, and...the same amber color eyes as...holy fuck...
I was in complete shock as me and Wolf continued talking but it was still totally muted I couldn't even tell what I was saying to him. However I pointed to my left and I saw Wolf get angry and shake his head, I had started to get upset too if my body language was anything to go off of. We yelled at each other and it even seemed like it started to become a screaming match between us when finally Wolf drew his sword and I drew mine.
I simply watched as we both started hacking at each other, like I mean we held nothing back we were ripping into each other! Finally I saw my mistake, Wolf slashed my leg and I was too disoriented to deflect his next attack properly and he cut my other leg and I fell to my knees. I looked up at Wolf who looked apologetic before he swung his sword and I could feel the blade cut through my neck almost decapitating me completely. I fell on my back and looked at the sky, it was so blue and so quiet...peaceful.
Then my dream shifted.
I saw the man in purple robes again however this time he was with two other men, one had a beard and was jacked to all hell and the second guy...oh my fucking god it's him! It's the guy I saw kill Jason!
"Well I must say nephew, your little dog actually got the job done. Guess I was wrong." the lanky captain said with a grin.
The man nodded "Better than expected actually, he is truly a formidable opponent and I am glad that he is on our side. I do not like our odds against him even with our resources."
"Eh, the guys alright." the bearded guy said not really paying attention to the conversation. He seemed to be more interested in his reflection in the window than what they were saying.
"Commodus pay attention! We need to discuss the scrolls." the pudgy guy shouted, grabbing the mans attention.
The captain snorted "Remind me why we must have them? I really don't see the point." he said as he started to pick at his nails in boredom.
"These scrolls help us keep power, the amount of history and age within those texts can actually amplify us." he explained.
"How?" Commodus asked curiously.
"To be perfectly honest how this is possible is lost to me, these scrolls are enigmas however I would rather have them in our vaults in our care than with the enemy. You have them secured yes?" he asked glancing at a safe that was hanging in the wall behind his desk.
"Keep it on my yacht, in my quarters." Captain said.
"Got it with me at all times, when it isn't it's in my room." Commodus explained.
Robes nodded as if satisfied with their answers "How is the boat plan coming along?" he asked.
Captain grinned "It's going to turn any kind of settlement into a crater, we just got the last yacht!" he said happily.
"Good, Commodus? I want you to head back to Indianapolis and martial your forces." Robes ordered to which the bearded man nodded. He looked at the taller sailor "And Caligula? Armor up your vessels and prepare your men." he said and Caligula nodded before the three men all walked out.
Suddenly my entire vision swirled into darkness and I realized I was being pushed violently!
I shot my eyes open with a gasp and looked around, it was dark out as we shot down the empty road. I looked at Amos who looked very scared as he kept looking behind him as if we were being chased.
"What the hell has you all worked up?" I demanded to know before I saw headlights in the trees.
"We got company!" he said as a large black escalade shot onto the road, two more appeared behind it as they sped up to us.
I sighed, not even a simple drive!? Seriously?! Not even that?! Can I ever get one fucking break!?
One of the escalades pulled up and the side door opened to show a bunch of armored men with their swords ready. Oh these bitches want to play huh!? I unhooked my seatbelt, pushed in the car lighter, and opened my door.
"What are you doing?!" Amos demanded to know before I grabbed the steering wheel and jerked it to the right. The car veered right and slammed into the escalade, I was propelled out and slammed right into one of the thugs. I grabbed him by the collar and threw him out the door into the street, the rest of the men, I counted three, tried to arm themselves but I kicked one of them in the chest and sent him out the other door with the door itself. One guy swung at me but the car was too narrow and he hit the wall which allowed me to grab him, he screamed as my metal hand crushed his wrist causing him to drop the sword.
I grabbed the sword and thrust it into his gut, he slumped over against me and the final fighter aimed a crossbow at me. I moved the dead guy and used him as a human shield as he fired a bolt and it hit the dead guys back but the arrowhead was inches from getting me! I rushed forward and pushed the guy back while he was reloading and shoved the guy so hard he crashed through the back window with the dead body.
I ran up front and saw the driver grab a knife but I grabbed his arm and then thrust the sword through his arm and then down through his foot, pressing the accelerator to the floor. He screamed but I smacked him into the window and knocked him out. I started steering the car as best I could and I saw that the other two escalades had ignored me and were going after Amos just ahead. I pressed my sword down farther and we shot up, I braced myself against the back of the chair as the car slammed into the back of one of the other cars. The windshield was shattered and I tried to ignore the pain I was in from this reckless driving and focus on the task at hand!
I jumped through the shattered windshield towards the car that was now stuck to mine. One guy climbed out and swung his sword, I dodged but this dude was quick! He swung again and I jumped back almost losing my footing but quickly steadied myself. The thug brought his sword down and I dropped to the side, it was here I noticed he had what looked like some kind of grenade strapped to belt. I looked up at the guy and grinned, he thrust his sword down and I rolled out of the way as it went through the roof of the car. He struggled to get his sword out but it was stuck, I got up and quickly tackled him to the ground. This guy showed a surprising amount of strength as he grabbed me and threw me right off of him.
He smiled "Any last words?" he shouted at me but I just smiled as I opened my hand.
Showing the pin of his grenade.
"Later bitch!" I said as he frantically tried to undo his belt, I got to my feet and saw my jeep just a tiny bit away, I had no idea if I was gonna make this jump but fuck I'm not gonna die after pulling that awesome grenade move! I leaped off of the escalade just as the guy exploded, tearing apart the car, and I felt some shrapnel slice into my gut. I groaned as my hand found the roof of my car and I grabbed onto it with everything I had, I opened the trunk and ducked in, I sat against the wall and caught my breath.
"Are you okay Sam?!" Amos asked as he tried to shake the last car that was a little bit behind us but still right on our tail. I looked down and saw the large slice into my stomach, I was bleeding quite a bit, I pressed my hand against the wound and winced loudly.
"Yeah...fucking peachy!" I snarled as the pain started to become more intense, I looked out the window and saw the escalade catching up. I crawled into the back seats as one of the men from the escalade grabbed the door handle, I looked over and opened the opposite door just as he opened his side.
He jumped in ready to fight but I grabbed him and used his weight and force against him, and the second he jumped in I threw him right out into the street. Then I shut the doors and gave the escalade the finger before climbing up towards Amos.
"Any idea who these pricks are?" I asked trying to hide the large amount of pain I was in. Amos definitely could hear the pain in my voice because he looked at me concerned but I waved him off and waited for his answer.
"My guess is its the benefactors trying to take us out. That's all I can say for certain." he said not taking his eyes of the road.
"Well they are a doing a really shitty job!" I said with a pained laugh as suddenly a large force shot me to the side and I hit my head. The car had rammed us, we were spinning as Amos tried to maintain control. Finally we stopped and we were facing the opposite direction of the road, in the distance I could see the burning husk of the car that I blew up. The final car was heading right for us, Amos fucking became an action hero or something because he put the car in reverse and just fucking owned the road! He didn't even look to see if the car was closing in he was going backwards like a fucking champ!
"Good you keep doing that while I..." I started as I found a bottle of tequila and ripped off a piece of my shirt that wasn't covered in blood. I grabbed the car lighter that was now fully heated, shoved the cloth in the bottle, and then I lit the material. I opened the door and leaned out towards the car currently trying to run us down.
"You are fucking insane!" Amos shouted over the roar of the wind.
I grinned near maniacally "Thank fuck for that! If I wasn't this probably wouldn't work!" I said as I threw the molotov cocktail and it landed right into the engine of the car. Flames roared under the hood of the car, I saw the two front wheels became engulfed in flames, I saw the men scrambling inside the car.
Then the tired exploded and the engine went haywire, the car went flying off the road and crashed right into a tree and then exploded.
I sighed as I shut the doors and sat back down "Well...that was fun." I said chuckling as I ate some ambrosia and grabbed a sewing kit to patch my wound that was now gushing blood. Amos slowed down and then turned the car around and started back down the road at normal speed.
"How you holding up Sam? That wound looks pretty bad dude." he said with worry in his tone.
I smirked "I'm...I'm fine..." I slurred oh fuck I feel dizzy!
"Sam?! Sam!?" Amos shouted but it sounded far away, my head was spinning violently as the sewing kit fell out of my hand and my head fell back.
"I don't...feel well..." I muttered, I felt the car come to a stop and a door opening and a hand grabbing me.
Everything was turning upside down and blurring, maybe I shouldn't have been so cocky with those moves...
I felt a piercing pain in my side and I cracked my eyes open and caught the blurry image of Amos stitching me up. I smiled "Didn't know you could sew." I muttered softly.
"Shut up Strife. Just shut up and don't move." he said with a scowl as he tended to my wound.
My eyes closed and my head slumped forward, well here we fucking go again!
I blacked out...AGAIN!
