Chapter 14: Aaron's POV
I sat waiting in my tent, eagerly awaiting the arrival of Cassie. When the tent unzipped Cassie came in and she embraced me. I kissed her, sorry to make her spy on the group of worthless demigods.
"Hey, babe." I said. She smiled at me, weakly. I knew she was in pain.
"Hey."
"How you doing?" I asked. She shrugged.
"Fine. Man, that girl is so gullible!" Cassie said and I smiled at her. Cassie winked and lay down. We'd become close over the span of the time that I'd joined the titans and it was a decision that I didn't regret. Cassie kissed me gently but pulled away soon.
"What are we going to do?" She asked.
"Well, you'll have to go back in the morning and spy more. What did you get so far?" I asked her.
"Their not the brightest people in the world." Cassie remarked. I shook my head remembering my time with them.
"Their really not."
"Still need to realize what the curse actually is." She said. I smiled at her.
"Soon, baby, soon." I said. We were outside of the cave keeping watch. I herd a noise. I pressed my hand to my lip and Cassie grinned excitedly. I unzipped the tent and saw the demigods creeping to the cave. No flashlights. No nothing. I grabbed my sword and crept out. When the last one of the entered Cassie gestured for me to exit the tent. We both did. I silently followed them into the cave and when we got to the room it was our chance.
"Hello, Cassandra." I said and she screamed and turned around, seeing me her eyes faired with anger.
"What are you doing here?" She snapped. Then she saw Cassie and her eyes went from anger to confusion.
"Cassandra, Cassandra, Cassandra." I said clicking my tongue. She still looked confused.
"Aaron, what's going on?" She asked.
"You idiot." Cassie said and she threw her head back. "I am Cassandra." She said. I bit my lip. Cassie went over and she grabbed Cassandra's head and she threw her into the wall. Cassandra was quick to get up and charge her but Cassie sidestepped and Cassandra fell down. I grabbed her shoulder.
"Cassie, lets just go." I said. She raised her sword.
"NO!" She yelled. "I'll finish this here and now. I'll give her the curse and then kill her. It'll die " Cassie said and she impaled the sword but Cassandra rolled out of the way. Cassie lunged at her and impaled her shoulder she screamed out in pain. Then Cassie started to chant in ancient Greek but another man walked in and restrained her. Prometheus. He laid a hand over her molt.
"Not her!" He snapped and I lent down to see her shoulder. It was bad. Blood splotched the shirt and was seeping out her the wound.
"She needs help!" I exclaimed looking at Prometheus. He laughed.
"She's the enemy." He exclaimed. "Don't tell me your getting soft on her!" Prometheus joked, restraining Cassie.
"I just think that-"
"Fine." The titan said. "If that's the way you'd like it." He said and pushed Cassie into me then levitated a boulder in front of the door. We were sealed in and there was nothing I could do.
