Thank you for the review.
I don't own Class of the Titans.
I'm waking up slowly, feeling quite exhausted. That guy yesterday really scared me. Not only he attacked quite harsh Atlanta, but he also treats all the team. I had the impression to get back with Cronus all over again. The sleepless nights, the constant worry for my team, the fear to lost the battle. Ugh, why I live that again?
I'm sitting and I'm looking at my sleeping team. None of us could sleep alone. Theresa is next to me, Odie and Herry are together and I can see Neil started to be afraid last night; he's closer to them compared to the last time I saw them. Oh, surprise. Atlanta is sleeping against Archie. I kind of expect that. She was quite shaking up with that man's attack.
I'm going to Archie and I'm shaking slowly his shoulder. He's waking up slowly with a groan. He's opening his eyes and looking at me. I'm smiling.
''Hey Arch. Can we talk?'' I'm asking and he's groaning, rubbing his head.
''Sure, if you want Jay. What's going on?'' He's asking as he's sitting without waking Atlanta.
''She was scared?'' I'm asking as I'm pointing at Atlanta.
''Err, no. She... she was cold. So-''
''Yeah, right. I got it.'' I'm cutting him quite fast. I know he's protecting Atlanta's reputation. The fearless girl. For how long she's going to keep that mask?
''Are you okay? You look like a mess.'' Archie is asking me and I'm rubbing my head, taking a breath.
''I didn't sleep that much. I was worry with this man's words. Also- Err, did you sleep? Your eyes are red.'' I'm asking, noticing his eyes are red. He's rubbing his eyes.
''I cried before I fell asleep. I was thinking about my mother. I really miss her.'' He's telling me and I'm sighing.
''I miss my mom too. After all, we didn't see our parents for more than 2 years. We came back only during some months and, now, we left them for a dangerous place.'' I'm telling him and he's lightly smiling.
''Yeah, not easy for all our parents. First, we're fighting gods and monsters- and only gods know how my parents might react if they know the true- for finally fight simple mortals. It's literally a war right now.'' Archie's right for that. It's a war.
''Well, soon we'll be leaving this place. I just hope we'll be alright.'' I'm saying and Archie is placing his hand on my arm.
''Keep hoping. It what's going to keep us alive.'' He's saying and I'm raising an eyebrow, smiling.
''Can you tell me what Hope did to you?'' I'm saying, holding back a laugh. Ow, he punched my arm playfully.
''Nothing you should worry.'' He's telling me before Atlanta started to wake up. She's looking at us, quite confuse.
''Good morning.'' I'm saying and she's saluting me with a sign of the hand. ''So, cold night?''
''Eh? Oh, yeah. It was a little too cold for me.'' She's saying before she got up and strength herself. ''So, we wait for the others to wake up and we're leaving?''
''Well, include on the list we need to eat before leaving.'' I'm saying and she's nodding.
''Arch, want to help me?'' Atlanta is asking and I'm signing to Archie to follow her. I know the real reason is because she's afraid to be alone. I'm not blind. I know my team. I'll be nice, I won't tell her I know why she needs Archie with her in the forest. They are both leaving and I'm waking up the others.
While we're waiting for them, we're discussing about what to do and, also, I want to know how they are feeling about that man's speech yesterday. So far, only Neil and Odie are worried about that. Theresa and Herry are just a little shaking up. Ah, finally, Archie and Atlanta are coming back.
''Hey guys. I could only find some fruits and plants with Arch. Also, with my wrist-''
''It's alright Atlanta. We understand.'' I'm saying with a smile and she's smiling too. I'm not going to ask her to hunt if she's wounded.
We're eating and we're demolishing our shelter. We're starting to walk to Sunmil. I can wait to be there. Theresa managed to walk during a good hour before she asked Herry if she can be on his back. Atlanta is humming a song.
''Hey Atlanta? What are you humming?'' Neil is asking and I'm looking at them.
''A song I heard last night... I think. Unless I was dreaming. I can't remember the lyrics.'' She's saying a little sad.
''Can you hum it? Maybe one of us knows it.'' Odie is proposing and Atlanta is nodding. She's humming softy that song. It looks like a lullaby. Too bad it don't ring a bell.
''Oh! I know that song. It's Laverder's Blue. Want I sing it?'' Theresa is asking and Atlanta is nodding. Theresa is taking a breath before she's starting singing. It's such a soft and beautiful song.
''Stop it! Stop it Theresa!'' Archie is yelling and we're all jumping. I'm quickly looking at him, same as the others. He's shaking and he had his hands over his ears. I can see he's closer to cry. Oh gods, I'm starting to panic with the thought something really bad is going on.
''Archie? Is everything alright?'' I'm asking and he's taking a breath.
''Y-yeah. I think so. Lanta, I was singing that song last night. Just, girls, please, don't sing it. I have the impression to hear my mom. It's too much for me right now.'' He's explaining and now, he's letting the rivers coming out of his eyes. I'm letting out the breath I was holding.
''Oh my god, Archie. You should tell me. I wouldn't have sing that song if I knew it was too much for you.'' Theresa is saying to him. I can see she's feeling quite bad. He's whipping away his tears and nodding.
''I'm alright. We can get going.'' He's saying and I'm nodding. We're continuing to walk. I can't help but think about my own mother, how sad and worry she looked before I left for this country. I remembered the discussion I had with Archie this morning. He told me he cried last night. I really hope he didn't cry to sleep.
''Hey, you lovebirds! Are we too fast for you two? It will be the first time!'' I'm hearing Neil yelling and I'm looking behind m- What the- Archie and Atlanta are quite away from us.
''Archie and Atlanta! Don't get too far from us!'' I'm yelling too. I don't know if enemies are closer. We need to stay together just in case of an attack. They're running to catch us.
''Sorry, I needed to speak with Archie in private.'' Atlanta is explaining, her cheeks red. I'm rolling my eyes with a groan. Really not the best moment for that.
