Hey guys :)
I have noticed that I have constantly bothering you about reviewing,but i noticed there is nothing much to review other than slight progression in the plot. So, I had an idea. I will ask a question about the story and you guys answer! :D I am not forcing any of you to so don't worry if you don't feel like answering. The answer will be at the end of this chapter.
So much had happened in the past few days, I was still trying to decipher what was going on. As far as I could tell,m a supergenius had just told me that those silly stories about greek gods and titans were real. When you say it like that, it just seems wrong. But then again, it all made sense. The giants, the dreams, alot of things. But my first question still remained.
What Happened to my dad?
I had finished packing my bags for tomorrow. It was a scary though; running away to keep me safe. Odie seemed to like the idea, but when he told Medellia and I, he had doubt i his eyes. Odie was a good man and cared for me. I trusted him but I had a gut feeling that this wasn't right. I noticed that the giant in the cemetery seemed to be most interested in me and nobody else. I had a feeling that I was the target of something, or someone.
It was late, but I felt restless. Both Odie and Medellia were sleeping in the master bedroom on the third floor. I paced my room thinking about what I could do.
I heard something hit my window. I stopped pacing.
I heard it again, it sounded like a tennisball. I rushed over to my window to investigate. I soon learned what the noise was.
Ashlynn. She was on the front lawn. She smiled weakly at me and mouthed the words.
"Open the door."
she obviously didn't want to alert anyone, so I snuck downstairs and opened the main door. She strode in with a hikers backpack and several other things.
"Get your things were leaving." She half whispered half talked.
"What? Why are you here? I'm leaving with Odie tomorrow." I replied in an equally discrete voice.
"Look, I heard about what happened in the cemetery. You saved my dads life, but when I was babysitting..." She paused for a moment, looking behind her.
"What? What happened?"
She looked anxious. "I was atteacked by a woman. Except she had wings and a tail. She pinned me to the ground. She started asking me questions, about you."
"Me? Why was she asking questions about me?" I asked hastily.
Ashlynn looked scared. "I don't know, but my parents arrived in time. My mom shot it with an arrow and the thing disappeared into thin air." She gulped. "Look, whatever these things are, theyre after you. And they knew I had a connection to you."
This was a wierding me out. How did these things know about me and how did they know that I knew Ashlynn?
"My dad told me what happened at the cemetery. You were very brave, but as long as we stay here, we endanger everyone around us, including our families."
She had a point there. Odie was a good man and as willing as he was, I didn't want him to die for me.
"But why are you coming with me? Your parents are great fighters."
She shook her head. "Not as good as they once were. My mom was complaining about her aim after the hag lady and my dad told me he stuggled with the giant. He also told me that when he was younger he would have torn the giant up no problem. They also told me that greek-"
"Myths are real." I said grimly. "Odie told me that too and as crazy as it sounds, I believe him." I looked at her. She was distraught and scared. Just like me. But like Odie said earlier. "Neither of us chose our lives, yet here we are." I looked at my choices, I would probably have better chances of survival if I stayed with Odie, but the consequences would be dire to people around me, especially close ones. If I went with her, we would be isolated from our friends and family, they would be safe. But if we got caught with another monster, we were on our own. I looked upstairs, Odie and Medellia were sound asleep, I decided then. Nobody will die because of me.
"Ok, I will come with you. Let me get my stuff." She smiled. And we both snuck upstairs to my room. I took all my clothes out of the suitcase and packed my clothes, some camping gear, my wallet(which had the fortune), and my car keys.
"Cute dinosaur." Ashlynn commented. It was kinda wierd having a girl in my bedroom, well, it wasn't like a bad thing, but situations had me scared at the time.
I had clothes, money, sleeping bags, keys, everything. It was time to go. As we quietly walked out the door, I remembered something.
"Wait a sec." I took out a piece of paper and started writing.
"What are you doing?" She asked imaptiently.
"I'm writing a note to Odie." I said. "He deserves to know that I am gone. I'll make it quick." Ashlynn gave me an impatient look.
I finished the note in rough handwriting and set it on my bed. Now we were ready to go.
We rushed downstairs to the hallway and who was there?
"Where are you two going?" It was Medellia. She in her nightgown. Her eyes were sharper than ever. No they weren't just sharp, they were GLOWING.
I realised it, this wasn't Medellia . It was some inner being of her. Like a spirit.
"Who are you?" I demanded. "Wheres Medellia?"
The woman sneered. "She's fine, sleeping in her bed. More peaceful than ever."
The thing that startled me the most was that she was wearing an unusual medallion.
"I am Medea. I have an old relationship with your anchestor" She looked angry as her eyes glowed even more and her hands were glowing too almost like Shego.
Now was time to run. We both booked it towards the door, but Medea was fast. She blocked our path.
"Youre not going anywhere, son of Jay."
Did she really call me that? I was surprised because she made it sound like I was some heir to a kings throne.
"Oh yes I am." I charged her through the door. Actually I brought the door down with us with a loud BANG. I gave Medea a hook to the noggin and she was down for a few seconds.
"Herry COME ON" Yelled Ashlynn, who was trying to open the locked car door. I unlocked it and tossed my stuff in the back seat. Ashlynn did the same. I turned on the engine with one turn of the key and we skidded out onto the road. Medea seemed to vanish into thin air once we were out of the gateway. In my side view mirror, I saw Odies bedroom light turn on.
I knew how hearbroken he would be when he saw the note. I remembered what I wrote by heart.
To Odie,
If your are reading this, I am gone. I have left with Ashlynn and have taken the truck. Please don't follow me. I am doing this so that you, and everyone close to me is safe. The monsters are after me, not you. I would tell you where I am going, but I know you will try to find me. I am sorry, but I also thank you for everything you have done for me. Do not be ashamed. Youre are not, and never were, a failure.
-Herry
It was hard to write, because I knew how much I meant to him. He was one of the greatest guardians one could ask for. And I abandoned him. I abandoned my friends and my old life. Me and Ashlynn were beyond the point of no return. All the paths from this point on would be one-way.
"So how did you get out?" I asked Ashlynn. Right at that point, our only goal was to get out of the city.
"My parents wanted me to stay so they could protect me, but I saw they were not as strong as they used to be. It was too dangerous for me to stay there. The monsters knew I was connected to you, and that put all my family in danger, so once it got dark, I grabbed my things and left." She sighed. "I hope theyre alright."
'They will be." I assured her. "They will be. Thanks for coming with me. I should probably have done this on my own."
"And let you have all the fun?" She joked, "We're in this together now."
And so we drove further and further out of town. We didn't know where we were going, but wherever it was, we were taking the dangers with us, that a monster could be lurking behind every corner. What mattered was that the dangers were no longer with our families or friends. That was all that mattered.
This is the end of Act One of The Only Son.
