My eyes shot open, right after that my mouth did the same, I started shrieking as wave after wave of blinding agony washed over me. I tried to move but the more I did the more pain I somehow received!
"Sam?! Hey! He's awake!" a voice to my left said, I was laying on my stomach on something soft maybe a bed? I couldn't turn my head to see who was talking, their voice was pretty indistinct as I tried to make it out over my loud screaming.
"Oh gods! Looks like Ambrosia and Nectar didn't help!" a second voice exclaimed, I couldn't make that one out either. Wow I really don't think I have ever been in this much pain before! I literally can't stop screaming! I felt some sort of pressure on my body as I continued to shriek like I was giving birth to ten kids, the pressure moved up my body but the pain never lessened.
"Gods...what did he do to him?!" one voice asked, I could hear the sadness in their voice as the pressure reached my spine. Somehow I had the energy to arch my back away from whoever that was because oh my fuck it hurt! Finally after maybe an hour I heard "Bandages are on! Come on let's flip him over!"
I felt hands grab my sides, legs, and arms. Then I was flipped over and my vision was slightly blurry as I was overwhelmed with more pain. My vision cleared and a few faces came into view as I stared at the ceiling, too scared to move my neck.
Percy, Hylla, Amos, and Annabeth were all looking down at me looking more scared than I had ever seen them. Why shouldn't they be?! I would like to point out that I am still screaming my fucking head off, I never stopped. Finally I saw Hylla look on the verge of tears and she shoved a towel in my mouth as I screamed.
"I...I can't hear it! Not anymore! It's too heartbreaking!" she said as tears streamed down her cheeks. Hylla turned to Percy who had a cut across his forehead but otherwise looked fine "Who...Who was this guy?!" Hylla demanded to know.
Percy held his hands up "I swear I have no idea! This guy is a beast! He killed every single one of those Gargareans! Just him! Amos? You have to know who he is right?!"
Still screaming over here!
"I don't...I have no idea who he is. I never thought that..." Amos turned to me with tears in his eyes "Sam I'm so sorry! I never meant for you to get hurt like this! Please forgive me! I'm so sorry!" Amos said over and over again.
Still screaming by the way!
"Why aren't the wounds closing?! I don't understand!" Annabeth said as she frantically applied medicine to my cuts. After about an hour or two my throat was too raw and scratched to be able to scream anymore, I simply opened and closed my mouth and my eyes.
Hylla never left my side as she ran her fingers through my hair singing a soft melody. I couldn't make out the words but as she spoke it felt like my body was responding to it, as if my insides were dancing along to her music. I leaned my head back into her hand as she continued to sing.
I remembered the day we met, how she sang to me as she healed my broken bones. The way she cared for me when I physically couldn't knowing that I was deranged and out of my mind. I let out a ragged breath as my lips slowly rose into a small smile as she sang.
"Finally we are making some progress with these cuts!" Amos said as he helped Annabeth close my wounds. Hylla cradled my head in her arms as she sang so softly only I could hear.
As the cuts were slowly mended my breathing became more and more stable. Hylla kissed my forehead as she sang quietly...
Upon the endless night, a single man will roam
Broken and beaten, but never far from home
He sees the light ahead, but turns away his gaze
Never believing he's earned, a heroes final days
He walks forevermore, hoping for an end
Never slowing nor stopping, as he rounds another bend
He fights and he clashes, challenging all that come near
Hoping to one day, find his purpose clear
He journeys and journeys, taking every street
Hoping beyond hope, his true love he will meet
As the years pass, his body grows old
His hope dwindles, but his heart one of gold
The world hating him, howling with gall
But never once, not once...did her love for him fall
By the time Hylla finished her song I had tears in my eyes, my cuts had been sealed and my arms were finally mending. I winced in pain but found the strength to haul myself up so that I was level with her and I stared into her eyes.
"Not even once?" I asked her and she smiled as she hugged me.
"Never." she said and I couldn't help but smile as I leaned against the headboard of the bed we were in...wait where the fuck are we? I looked around and realized we were in the Master Bedroom of my house. Percy must have gotten me out of the building and shadow traveled us back.
I looked at the bed and saw the sheets were absolutely coated in blood, holy fuck! Wow I never knew I even had that much blood in my body! Finally everything that happened came flooding back to me, Wolf tearing me apart, breaking my arms, and stealing my fucking whip!
Then I remembered...Discord...my Winchester was gone. I felt a tear slide down my cheek but I wasn't sad I was angry! I was unbelievably angry! My weapon that was like a part of me was gone! That piece of shit! Does he know who he's dealing with!? Does he even know the absolute fucking firestorm I am about to bring down on his sorry ass!?
"Hey?" Hylla said squeezing my hand I turned to her and she smiled "Don't think about that now...just focus on being here." she requested. I nodded but I couldn't relax, not with everything that happened, not after...wait...
"Where's my jacket?" I asked softly, Hylla said nothing acting as if she didn't hear me. I scowled "Hylla? Where is my jacket?" I asked again my patience wearing thin.
Hylla sighed before she got off the bed and walked over to one of the closets. After a few seconds she brought out my duster...
Well, the remains of it.
My jacket had a large number of rips and tears in it, the sight made my blood boil! First my gun and now my jacket!? I'm going to...I'm going to...
"I'm going to kill him!" I shouted before getting out of bed.
Only to immediately be hit with a wave of nausea and pain, Hylla ran over and helped me sit down as I tried to not vomit on the blood covered floor.
"We still don't know what he used, but Annabeth is on it. Amos is working to track him down, apparently Langdons death scared the rest of the generals. Our alliance is on the brink." she explained.
I just shook my head in annoyance and pain as I took deep breaths trying to force my nausea away.
"This is exactly what they wanted! To split the factions, neither one would be able to protect itself without the other. I have to do something before things get worse! Which means I have to start training." I said trying to get back up but Hylla held me back.
"You just got ripped apart and now you want to go back in!?" she demanded to know. I didn't look at her, I couldn't knowing she hated this decision. She huffed "You are not doing that again. You are not fighting him!" she said and I glared at her.
"I have to! This is personal!" I shouted and she didn't back down, her glare hardening.
"Don't do this Sam! Don't go on a vendetta! You know what that does to you! I couldn't bear seeing you like that! Focusing only on your anger...it's terrifying." she said to me.
I lowered my head again once more not able to look her in the eyes, she was right me letting my anger consume me was never good. It got innocent people killed and the ones I love hurt.
"Okay." I said softly and Hylla squeezed my hand again before kissing my temple.
"I'm going to go get you some food. Just rest okay?" she said and I nodded. With that she left me alone in the room, I groaned a little as I laid back down on my back wincing at the stinging from my bandages.
I was taking shallow breaths as I glared at the ceiling thinking about the joy I saw in Wolfs eyes.
"I'm going to kill you..." I muttered with as much venom in my voice as I could muster.
"I swear in the River Styx."
REVIEW! I REALLY WANNA KNOW WHAT YOU GUYS THINK!
