Thank you for the review.
I don't own Class of the Titans.
I'm feeling really bad. I mean, not only we killed people in the pub, but we broke by accident furniture and dishes. For a businessman like him, it means he's going to lose money because the place is wrecked.
''Err, I can explain sir-'' I'm beginning, but he shoves me away by grabbing my shoulder. Damn, he's really strong. It's limit if he didn't put my shoulder out of joint.
''Katell! You had one job! One! Why did you let the gang to be killed by them?'' He's yelling and the poor waitress is shaking in fear.
''Listen, they were going to rape me and maybe more. They helped me and-'' She's saying as she's pointing at us. I swear, even Ares when he's mad is not that scary.
''Why did you kill them?'' He's asking and I'm trying to not imagining him as a furious bull, which didn't help my stress.
''They were attacking her and we're just trying to help her.'' I'm explaining and my team are nodding.
''Wait a sec. I know you two. You're from the Seven Titans. You're all-'' He's saying as he starts by pointing at Archie and Theresa. He's pointing at all of us and Archie is nodding.
''Yes, we're the Seven Titans. Having a problem with it?'' Archie is answering and I'm confused. It's the first time I heard that.
'Jay, don't show you're confused. The Seven Titans, it's the name they gave us here.' I'm hearing Theresa saying. I'm quickly looking at her and she's pointing discretely at her head. What will I do without her telepathy?
''You seven. Katell, make sure they stay here!'' He's ordering before he went to the street. She's looking at us and I can see she's terrifying. I'm signing her we're going to stay in the pub. She almost faint with the relief.
''Jay, why does he want we stay here?'' Atlanta is asking me and I'm shrugging. I have no clue, unless... I really hope he's not trying to find the enemies.
''People of Skyra!'' We're jumping when we heard him screaming on the street. ''Look what happened to my pub and the Gwaed band. The Seven Titans, the enemies of the peace did that!''
I'm so scared right now. He's totally saying we're enemies. Well, I'm so glad the villagers are not stupid. They're screaming in happiness and admiration. I'm looking at my team and Archie is doing a wink, telling me wordless he knew it was going to happen.
''No! Don't admire them! They're against the Gwaed band, our leaders. People of Skyra, you know what you must do.'' The boss of the pub is trying to persuade them.
''He's dead.'' Theresa is whispering and I'm shivering. It's not her words, it's her voice. She sounded like a spirit. I'm quickly looking at her and I'm seeing she's like in trance, her eyes closer to be entirely white. I have no idea how it happened. Since the problem with the phantom, time to time, she went to a state like that. I really hate when that happens. Good thing I know what to do. I'm snapping my fingers in front of her face and she's jumping, coming back with us.
''You're okay?'' I'm asking and she's nodding, rubbing her head. We heard the villagers taking away the man and he's protesting quite a lot. We're all seven looking at the waitress. She's getting the question in our eyes.
''Oh, true, you're not from here. See, the Gwaed band is trying to infiltrate all the business here. They persuaded my boss and he accepted to follow them, seeing them like saviors. Many of us are against them since we lost many of our family members because of them. The villagers can't forget. So, they're bringing my boss to the public place and... maybe execute him.'' She's explaining and Atlanta is gasping in horror and surprise.
''They can't kill him.'' Atlanta is saying, but I'm stopping her faster.
''Atlanta, don't.'' I'm telling her and she's pouting. At least, she understood she should keep it down for now.
''Yes, they can. He's a traitor. You saw how he's treating me.'' The waitress is saying to Atlanta and she's looking down, accepting defeat. ''Oh, by the way, don't worry about the damages and the bodies. I'll take care of it, I insist.''
''Alright, if you say so.'' I'm answering, showing to my team we should leave. I didn't want to argue with her, I saw in her eyes she wasn't going to change her mind. When we left the pub, I'm surprised to see some villagers still waiting for us.
''Who would though you four were a part of the Seven Titans.'' A woman is saying with a smile and I'm looking away, feeling embarrassed.
''Yeah. Sorry, but we need to leave.'' I'm saying and my heart broke when I saw some young children ready to cry.
''Why? You're heroes here. We can't fight for ourselves.'' A man is saying and I'm surprised to see Archie and Theresa walking in front.
''Sure you can. My friend and I were at the village of Rivers a week ago. They fought with improvising weapons an enemy in their village. They even kill it. If they can, you can.'' Archie is saying and I'm really surprised.
''It's true. Trust yourself, I know you can do it.'' Theresa is saying and the villagers are looking at each other. They're smiling and nodding.
''Women! Go get your knives! You're always that scary when we're trying to stool your meal.'' A man is saying and the women are screaming and running to their house. I don't want to be the enemies when they're going to be here. Knives, rolling pins, frying pans... That gang is going to pass a bad day.
''Are you sure you want to leave the village?'' A man is asking and I'm nodding.
''Yeah, we need to leave. Two of my team members are wounded. We need to leave before one of them is killed.'' I'm explaining and he's nodding.
''Alright. Be careful.'' He's saying and we're leaving. As we were passing the public place, Atlanta is going next to me.
''No panic, but someone is following us.'' Atlanta is whispering and I'm sighing.
''Atlanta, we're in a village, it's normal.'' I'm whispering back, feeling a little annoyed. It's like she never went on a city before.
''So, the fact it's following us by hiding behind things is normal?'' She's whispering and I'm jumping. Totally not normal.
''Atlanta, run the faster you can and catch it.'' I'm whispering and she's nodding. At a speed of a wink, she's running in the streets.
''Where did Lanta go?'' Archie is asking and we hear a scream. A woman's scream. We're running to the source of the scream and Atlanta is holding a caped woman. Archie and Theresa are gasping in surprise.
''Atlanta, let her go!'' Theresa is yelling as Archie is quickly holding Atlanta, separating her from the woman.
''Atlanta! Stop it right now!'' Archie is yelling at her and she's stopping like I'm the one who ordered it. She's looking in shock.
''Are you alright?'' Theresa is asking and the woman is standing up, nodding. She's taking off her hood and- Wait a sec. She's so familiar. I saw her somewhere, but where?
''Sorry, I didn't want to scare you. I was too shy to go and talk.'' She's saying and she's looking at me. Where did I see her?
''Jay? Do you remember Fresta? You saved that woman in that city.'' Theresa is telling me. Yeah, that's helping, but not that much. I saved a lot of woman at Fresta.
''You couldn't save my children though. You remember? In my house?'' Oh my god! It hits me. I remember her.
''Oh my god! It took me two good weeks to be able to close my eyes and stop having the image of your two children, dead on the floor.'' I'm saying and Theresa can tell it's true. I woke her by accident during two weeks because of nightmares.
''For me, I still have that image every second of my life. So, I heard you were leaving. Where are you going?'' She's asking and I think I can be honest with her. After all, she can't be against us after I saved her life.
''Sunmil. We need to leave this place.'' I'm saying and she's looking at us at horror.
''Leaving this place or this life? Rumors said this place it's pretty dangerous.'' She's explaining and I understand.
''Rumors can be false.'' Odie is telling her and she's sighing.
''Maybe. Listen, the guy travelling in a cart is leaving tomorrow morning. He can travel you to Mountainsu. You would have to walk just around one week after to be at Sunmil. The travel with the cart is around a day.'' She's explaining and, I have to say, it's really interesting.
''Why is he leaving only tomorrow?'' Neil is asking and the woman is smirking.
''Easy. It will be dark soon. It's too dangerous to travel here in the dark. So, do I warn him to wait?'' She's asking and I'm nodding. ''Well, it was nice to see you back. Have a nice trip.''
