This one's a bit shorter. Mainly because chapter 4 and 5 were originally one chapter, and I felt like it was too long. Enjoy th
"I was also very curious how you managed to get your small arsenal of Greek weapons." Chiron questioned, "Especially ones made of such rare material."
"Doing favors, although I did make the harness myself."
"Favors? For whom?"
"Minor gods usually, and a few black market trades."
"You know of the Gods?" Chiron asked shocked.
"Yeah, why wouldn't I?"
"I only thought that you were... a bit more oblivious than that, that's all." He looked down again in thought once more, "There is still one thing that I am still in awe of. How is it that you have survived this long on your own? Most of the people here either die or find themselves here by age twelve, and it's almo..."
His voice started to fade out as I felt a shiver flow down my spine. What? No. No, this couldn't be happening. I felt the familiar warmth spread through my body, but instead of the rush of endorphin, like when you take a happy pill, I felt only dread. This was supposed to stop. It wasn't supposed to happen anymore. She stopped it, she STOPPED it. The pain started from the back of my skull and spread over me like a plague. I closed my eyes and tensed my body trying to control myself.
Chiron paused seeing the pain in my face, "Danny? Danny what's wrong? Danny tell us wha..." I jumped onto the table and lunged at them with lightning speed, but the shivers just wanted me to kill the boy. When I got within reach my hands went for his throat, but he grabbed me and slammed me onto the ground. I had a hold of his shirt though and pulled him down with me. I rolled him to where I was on top of him, pinned his arms underneath my legs, and started squeezing his neck as hard as I could. He kept struggling underneath me, trying to force any amount of a breath past his throat. I felt a tug on my shirt.
"Stop it," Piper screamed. I loosened my grip, but the pain was still there as sharp as ever. "Stop," She told me, "you don't need to do this, none of us are a threat." The pain was easing, "No one is going to hurt you." I let go and got off of him.
"Percy?" Piper said. She dropped on top of him, looking into his face. "Percy?" he wasn't breathing or moving. "No," she cried, "No, you can't do this." She started pumping his chest. "WAKE UP!"He sputtered and coughed with a jolt. She gasped, "Oh thank gods."
Gods, I almost did it, I almost killed him. Gods dammit, this wasn't supposed to happen. Tears started welling in my eyes. In the haze I saw a blurry figure stand up, and felt a solid punch connect with my jaw. I dropped to the floor still tearing up. There was yelling in the background, but I didn't pay any attention to it. I wasn't ever going get rid of this curse, was I? My entire life was just going to be a string of murders I thought to myself.
I felt people grab me by the arms, and drag me back to my chair. When they sat me up in it they tied my arms and legs to it. When my tears dried and I could see again Chiron was sitting in the same spot across the table. I looked to my left and Piper was sitting next to me looking at the table, day dreaming it looked like. I looked to my right and a girl with brown hair, and a knife was glaring at me.
"Well Mr. Greyson, I'm glad you could join us," he said tiredly, "It seems you have more to tell me than I originally thought." I didn't care, worst case scenario, they threw me out. Best case scenario, they killed me. "Why don't you start from the beginning," he told me.
"If you move though, I'll shove this in your eye," the girl on my right said gesturing with the knife she was holding.
"Easy Clarisse, we want to hear him out. We don't want to discourage him."
"I didn't say anything about cutting out his tongue," she said menacingly.
Chiron shook his head in frustration. "Why don't we start with 'I was born'."
I took a deep breath, "I was born..."
If anyone knows what that phrase at the end is from put it in the review. Hint: Last Night I...
