Welp...I'm screwed.
That was the thought going through my head as Nyx approached me and Jesse. Her pitch black hair was flowing behind her. Her entire body was just glowing with power. The worst was her eyes. The shinedwith a blackish fire. I don't even know how you make fire black. Sounds like magic.
Or, you know, being a goddess.
As Nyx slowly came towards us, I was trying to find a way out of this mess. I knew three things. I need to try and utilize them.
(A: Nyx is a goddess, so she can't be killed, but maybe distracted?
(B: She's underestimating me. She's walking slowly towards me. She'll probably toy with me, and then go for the kill.
(C: She refered to herself as The Night. If I can last till day, then maybe...
All those went through my mind along with what I was good at. Playing the harmonica, the guitar, the flute, the...wait...I'm really good with instruments. Crap, I'm getting off track. I need to...
Shoot. I took too long.
Nyx was right in front of me.
"Hello, baby," Shesaid in a fake tone of niceness, and trust me, I know it's fake. Ijust snarled. Yep. She was toying with me. Ihatebeing toyed with.
Don't get me wrong, I hate having to hit a woman, but I will do it if it's necessary, and only if it's necessary.
And a goddess was trying to kill me, so it's pretty necessary.
So I launcheda massive right hook into Nyx's jaw, and took massive pleasure in watching the stupid goddess stumble backwards. I used the stumble to my advantage and drop kicked her in the chest.
I yelled at Jesse to give me a weapon, any wepon. Nyx was on her feet.Then thisstupidmotherf...dude, gives me a bow and a quiver full of arrows. I haven't shot a bow in my life. Well I haven't used a sword either, so...
I pulled an arrow out of my quiver, loaded it into the bow, took a deep breath, and, ignoring the butterflies in my stomach, and the crapin my pants, fired the arrow.
I missed.
Frick.
The arrow veered to the left of Nyx. She laughed a cruel, evil laugh. This was about the time I ran out of fucks to give. I grabbedarrow after arrow outofmy quiver, and fired it as soon as it was pulled back. The weirdest thing was,they actually hit her!
After draining my quiver into the night goddess, I relized that the only shot I missed, was the first one. Nyx was now the porcupine of night. The thought of that made me laugh.
"You insolent fool," Nyx bellowed at me, "I am a goddess! No demigodly wepons can kill me!" I looked up and smiled. "Maybe not," I replied smugly, hoping beyond hope that it worked, "But I'm pretty sure the sunrise would hurt like hell."
She looked up just as the sun came over the horizon. Nyx started screaming and smoking, like the Wicked Bitch of the West. Then she vanished, like she was never there in the first place.
