Sara's POV

I rushed back to where Hermes was fighting Dave with quite a bit of panic. I stopped as I entered the room, taking in the scene in front of me. Neither of them had noticed me enter, Dave was too focused on Hermes and Hermes on Dave. Hermes was on the ground, his back to the wall and quite a bit of his golden blood was seeping into the carpet. I shook with fright. I needed to do something. But what and how?

I stilled when I noticed the silver blade a few feet away from the confrontation. Dave seemed to be talking a bit, so I snuck around him quickly and picked up the cast aside blade. My eyes widened however, as Dave went for Hermes's throat with his overly sharp teeth. In a panic, I dashed forward and slid the blade through Dave's shoulder blades. He stopped in shock before turning into a golden dist.

I stood there in a state of shock. I just killed Dave. Dave was gone. Gone! I blinked back to Hermes who was still bleeding out and placed my hands on his wound. He hissed in pain.

"…Apollo…" was all I caught from his words and swiftly left the room and went back to the garage. As I entered the kittens mewed in alarm at the golden blood that was covering my hands. I ignored them however and pulled out the orange kitten that I knew was the god of healing before rushing back inside.

When the orange kitten saw the downed god, he mewed in alarm as I put him on the ground. Before anything else could happen, there was a bright flash of light, and instead of an orange kitten, there was a blond haired, sky blue eyed teen standing in front of me. I instantly knew what happened. It was the same. The same as when Hermes turned from a kitten to a man. The man staggered for a moment before speaking.

"I need you to get some towels and water, we need to stop the bleeding." He said to me. I nodded and quickly rushed out of the room and re-entered with the required items. He took the towels from me and placed them on the wound, pressing down. Hermes hissed in protest. He moved away slightly before turning to me. "I need you to hold this on his wound, okay? Until the bleeding stops." I nodded and placed my hands on the towels, and frowned as the towel began to turn golden.

The blood man shook Hermes when he noticed the man losing consciousness.

"I need you to talk to him, keep him awake." He said, putting a hand on the man's chest, gritting his teeth. "Damn. I'm really weak."

"Hermes, you need to stay awake." I said, "You can't sleep yet. Just a little bit longer, okay?" His head lolled to the side and he fully closed his eyes.

"Shit. I don't have the strength to heal him!" The man hissed, a few tears coming to his eyes at the thought.

"Is there anything I can do?!" I asked desperately. The man's head snapped to me before his eyes widened.

"M-maybe. I need you to place your hand on mine and give me a bit of strength. I don't have the strength to heal him, but you do." I nodded my head quickly and placed my hand on his, closing my eyes. The man's eyes widened at the power that flowed into him. He smirked lightly before going to work on healing Hermes.

What felt like hours later, the blond haired man sighed in relief and moved his hands away from Hermes. He took his other hand and separate my hand from his.

"That's enough power, thank you. You saved his life, again." The blond haired god bowed his head slightly to me, causing me to blink in surprise and blushed lightly.

"I- I had to do something, and it's technically my fault, right? You were only here because I brought you and Dave was after me."

"If it wasn't for you, we would still be kittens." He replied and my blush deepened.

"I-I don't -" I tried.

"Hush. Get some rest, you must be tired." He said, placing a hand on my face. I blinked a moment before suddenly feeling incredibly sleepy. Blinking my eyes a few times, I closed them and fell into a deep sleep.

Apollo sighed as the woman fell asleep, looking at both her and Hermes. They had been damn lucky. If it hadn't been for her, Hermes would have faded twice over. When he turned from a kitten to this form again, he was weak. He didn't have the strength to heal Hermes. But she gave him her strength and he was able to.

He shakily got to his feet and walked to the garage to get the rest of his family. They really need to figure out how this kitten thing worked.

Opening the door, Apollo was attacked with a furry of voices.

What happened to Hermes!

Apollo! You're not a kitten anymore!

Tell us what happened. Apollo frowned slightly at his father's command but obeyed anyways. He told them what happened since the woman, Sara, came in and grabbed him.

Is Hermes going to be okay? They all asked in a variety of ways.

"Yes. I was able to heal him." Apollo informed them. They all seemed relieved in their own ways. While they didn't get along from time to time, they were still family, and they still loved each other. The idea of one of them fading was terrifying. "She saved his life again, you know." Apollo said after a moment. "When I changed back, I didn't have the strength to heal him. I thought he was going to fade. But she offered to help. Gave me her strength to heal him." There was silence for a few moments before his father spoke up.

It seems we owe this mortal quite a bit then. A few of his family frowned. They didn't like mortals, but they knew his father was right. They did owe her. And he knew that probably by the end of this, they would owe her quite a bit more.
