Thank you for the review.
I don't own Class of the Titans.
After the night we passed at the hot spring, we walked during two days... with some usual stopping during our way. I can't wait to finally be at home. The boys are exploring a little around while Theresa and I are relaxing on the ground. I really needed that break. I need to talk with Theresa and the boys weren't comfortable to see her exploring around.
''So, you don't mind staying here with me and not exploring with the boys?'' Theresa is asking and I'm giggling.
''No. Anyway, I wanted to have- I can't believe I'm going to say that. I wanted to have a girl's time.'' I knew I shouldn't say that. Theresa is sitting faster, making herself gasp in pain.
''Ow! Damn back. Are you serious? A girl's time? Since when you need that?'' She's asking and I'm sighing.
''Well, since I need to talk and the subject is not a subject you can talk with boys.'' I'm confessing as I'm blushing. Theresa is giggling.
''Alright. You want to talk about what?'' She's asking and I'm sighing.
''Boys. Well, more about boyfriends. Err, well, it more-''
''Could you please go to the point?'' Nice one Theresa. Hitting right on the sport. It's already not a simple subject.
''The sexual way. I don't know if it's a good idea to talk about that since you and Jay-''
''In the last news, I'm feeling better, so go ahead with your talk.'' She's telling me and- wait! Is that mean what I thought it's mean?
''Wait, you and Jay? When? I thought with your back-''
''In the hot spring while you were all sleeping. Lanta, please.'' Guess I make her mad. I should get straight to the point. Come on, I can do it.
''Well, you know that Archie and I are lately... well, we-''
''I know. No need to have visions to know it. What about it?'' She's asking and I'm sighing, looking at her.
''Well, we're in a place where protection is a none useful thing and-''
''I don't think you'll fall pregnant soon. Just, try to be careful.'' She's saying with a wink. Yeah, be careful. I'll better speak with Archie about that.
''Well, well, well. Two lovely ladies, all alone. Oh, I love that.'' A man is saying. I'm quickly looking at him. He looks like a pervert. Guess Theresa thought the same thing, we're both jumping on him to immobilize him.
''So, what should we do?'' I'm asking to Theresa and the man is grunting.
''Ask your leader. You can't do a thing without him. Also, I have a message for him.'' He's saying and I'm looking at Theresa. She's taking a breath as she's closing her eyes.
''Alright, I'll get our leader. Lanta, keep him immobile. I shouldn't be long.'' Theresa is telling me and I'm nodding. She's running to get the guys as my grip at the man's arms is harder. The man is laughing. That's strange.
''What's the matter?'' I'm asking and he's smiling.
''You'll never stop me. A little proof for you: you'll die by my hands.'' He's saying. Is he joking?
''Ha! How are you going to do that? You're tying it up.'' I'm saying and- Ow! He totally twisted my wrist. I'm falling on the ground, and I'm defending myself the hardest I can.
''Hey, stop it right now, woman!'' He's yelling at me as he's giving me a hard punch on the cheek. It's hurting so much and I'm a little dizzy but it didn't stop me. Also, more I fought, more he's hitting on my face. I'm starting to get really scare he might kill me.
''Let her go, you son of a bitch!'' I'm hearing Archie screaming. Well, I think it was him. Almost right after I heard it yelling, the man is pushing away of me and I'm taking away in someone's arms. I'm trying to get away, after all, it's maybe other enemies and- ''Hey, Lanta. Calm down. It's me. It's over.''
I recognize Archie's voice and I'm quickly calming. I'm quickly placing my arms around his waist, refusing to have a millimeter of space between him and me. Never in my entire life I was so glad to see him.
''Okay, now you had your little fun, what was your message?'' I can feel all the anger in Jay's voice. He's really mad. I'm guessing I started to shake; Archie is rubbing my back as he's shushing me. My face is on his chest, I can't see what is going on. I'm trying to look but Archie is keeping me against him. Ugh, damn Arch, I just want to look.
''Yeah, the message from my leader. He said you'll never leave this place alive. The fight you did in Fresta put you all in our black list, but the thing in Skyra... All the gang want your heads... and we will.'' He's finishing with a diabolic laugh. I swear, even Cronus' laugh wasn't that creepy. Well, at the end, Cronus almost turns like family, more like the uncle you just want to get away of him, but he never talk to us like that.
The laugh is slowly turning to complains getting away. Archie is finally breaking the hug and I'm looking at him... well, I try. My right eye is hurting so much, its limit if I can open it. Archie is looking at me with worry. I'm fighting the hardest I can the tears. I won't cry.
''Atlanta? Are you alright?'' Jay is asking and I'm feeling my barrier closer to fall down, just with a simple question.
''I'm alright.'' I'm managing to say and I'm hearing Archie sighing.
''Jay, we should stop for the night, now.'' Damn. Archie is really not helping me. I want to prove the others I'm alright and he's making us stopping right now.
''Alright. We'll start building a shelter. Warn Herry we'll be in the forest.'' Jay is saying and I'm realizing Herry is not here. Probably taking the man away to kill him without I realize it. The boys are going in the forest and Archie is signing to Theresa to follow them.
''I know you're strong, I know you want to prove it but you need to rest. Also, I need to cure your wounds.'' Archie is explaining before I could even place a word. I'm looking away.
''It's just... I don't want any of the team seeing me like I'm fragile.'' I'm explaining and Archie is placing his hand on my right cheek. I'm looking at his eyes.
''You're not fragile Lanta, you're human. It's normal to be hurt or cry time to time. Alright?'' What can I do without him? Seriously.
''You always know what to say, right dork?'' I'm saying and he's smiling, lightly giggling. He's kissing my forehead.
''That, is the Atlanta I know.'' He's saying and I'm smiling too.
