I'm back! This is also just a revision but the next chapter will have some new content. Keep reading and stay awesome! Ciao!
The three teens stared at each other for several minutes before John made the first move. He put his sword back its shealth.
He then took out his phone and texted Lafayette and Hercules, telling them where he was and to hurry. He then put his phone away and addressed the two other kids.
"Ok so this is kinda hard to explain but—" John never got to finish because the bloodied girl took his wrist and flipped him onto his back. She stepped on his throat and told Alex,"Run! Run and don't come back."
Alex replied,"Lexi no! I'm not leaving you!" She yelled back,"Alex now! You are innocent! I'm not! I-i murdered someone. I am not letting you go to jail for me. Now go and don't come back!"
Alex protested but after a withering glare from Alexandra, he caved. He gave her a hug and she said,"Alex—be safe and remember I love you." She hugged him again and pushed him out the door.
Then she turned to John and frowned.
John tried to speak but her foot prevented him from doing do. She noticed his struggle and moved her foot from his throat to his chest. She muttered,"Sorry."
He just looked at her. She glared and said,"Stop that. I'm not an art installment."
John apologized. "Sorry, I didn't mean to stare but it's not every day someone half your size flips and pins you. Also you're kinda bleeding. Like a lot."
"Fuck off." She glared again then asked,"Who did you text?"
"I know what you're thinking—it wasn't the police." Said John. She looked skeptically at him and said,"Yeah right."
"I really didn't!" John replied. She rolled her eyes and said,"Honestly? I don't care. Just keep Alex out of it."
John frowned at her comment but was blown away by the amount she was willing to sacrifice for her sibling.
"I suspect we'll be getting to know each other so I'l introduce myself. I'm John Laurens." He smiled at her.
"Alexandra. What do you mean, We'll be getting to know each other?" She applied more pressure to his chest and glared.
Before John could answer three other boys burst into the bathroom.
Meanwhile…
Alex immediately regretted running out of the bathroom. He knew he would probably not see his sister for a long time, if ever.
He looked back one last time before staring at the ground and running. He pushed opened the library doors. He found himself hitting something almost as solid as a brick wall.
Alex stumbled backwards and smashed his head on the railing corner.
The world went black and Alex was out before he hit the cold linoleum floor.
Alex collapsed onto the floor, unconscious. The two boys he ran into, Hercules and Lafayette looked at each other.
"Think he's one of the two?" Hercules asked.
"Well he's running out of the library, covered in blood so…I'd say yeah, probably, Mon ami ." Said Lafayette.
Hercules nodded and slung the unconscious boy over his shoulder, fireman style.
Lafayette and Hercules hurried up the stairs with the unconscious boy slung over Herc's shoulder. They rushed into the bathroom to find a tiny, bleeding girl holding John down remains of a demon lay besides him and the girl held a bloody pocket knife.
They looked from the girl to John to the dead demon.
John noticed that the boy slung over Herc's shoulder was the same boy from earlier.
I wonder why he's unconscious, John thought, I hope Lafayette and Hercules didn't take part. John knew if they did then Alexandra would kill them. Probably in a painful and torturous way, too.
Alexandra broke the silence by exclaiming,"Alex! What did you do to my brother?" She yelled this at Hercules and Lafayette. She pointed the knife at them, threatnly.
They smiled at each other. "So we were right." Said Hercules. Lafayette smiled again.
Alexandra tried to yell again but a wave of nausea washed over her. Her hold on John loosed.
John noticed and asked,"Hey are you okay?"
She nodded but then gagged. She ran to the nearest toilet and threw up. John, Herc, and Laf looked at each other, unsure of what they should do next.
Before they could do anything Alexandra popped out of the stall. They stared at her and John said,"You good?"
She glared and said,"None of your damn business."
He looked at her, trying to assess her condition.
She said,"Laurens I said this before and I will say it again. Yes, I am hot but I am not an art installation and I would appreciate it if you would quit staring at me so much."
Herc and Laf burst into applause. John smiled and said,"Yes Ma'am."
She glared. "Who are you people?" She asked.
"Halfbloods. Demigods." Laf bluntly stated.
She laughed and then saw their faces.
"You have to be joking." She said.
"Non." Laf said.
"We were sent on a mission to recruit you and your brother actually…" John said.
Alexandra said,"You expect me to go off with some strangers to a place I don't even know? Wow you guys really don't think."
"Come with us if you don't want to die." John said.
She raised an eyebrow and John elaborated. "Eventually there'll be a demon you can't kill. The camp has safety measures against them."
She laughed and said,"Wow really selling this camp."
Alexandra then said,"Say I did go to this camp. What about I don't know my education?"
"They have classes there." Herc said.
"Why do I get the feeling theses aren't traditional classes?" Alexandra groaned.
The boys laughed.
She rolled her eyes and said,"So what else do you do there?"
"Go on quests, fight monsters, and other dangerous things." Laf joked.
She smiled and said,"The quest bit sounds promising."
"So you want to come willingly?" John asked hopefully.
"I'm guessing no isn't an option." She said.
He rubbed his head sheepishly and Herc said,"Not really."
"Because I don't want to fight you and then run I guess we'll come with you. For now." She added.
