Chapter 10 The Wrath of A monster in Human skin.

Tears fell as I saw Bill wither away, not to everlasting peace, but gone. Permanently. My body ached with sorrow. I felt as if body was turning inside out. I look up to the man who caused all of this, Luke.

Third person POV

The winds picked after Luke beheaded Bill, causing a violent storm to be born. It was causing trees to bend and the ship to rock.

"Gah!" Luke shouted. "Where did this storm come from-" He was cut short as a lighting bolt nearly zapped him but he barley managed to dodged. 

Atem's Tears mixed with the rain. He looked up and with so much raged that his voice sounded like thunder. "BURN!" A sudden flame ignited and mixed with the storm...

The now fire storm raced across the deck burning monsters and Demigods alike. Luke made his move by trying to slice through Atem but Atem lunged at Luke, his binds breaking.

"LUKE!" He shouted with so much rage as lands a violent punch to Luke's gut, causing him to cough up blood. But that wasn't going to be the end of Atems wrath after his brother in all but blood died.

`He grabs Luke head and bashes him into the ground. Luke's army began to approach him but they were cut short as Atem eyes glowed red in rage.

"Die, all of you. BURN TO ASHES!" He roared as a tornado made of flames landed on the ship, causing many of the army to run away as Luke just barley dodges. But sadly that is where Atem stops. 

From overusing his powers to so much of an extent despite already being low on power caused him to fall into unconscious . But don't fear because Chiron and his brothers somehow made it onto the ship and carried out our heroes into safety.

Atem POV

I felt my whole world crashing down on top of me. It felt as if my mind was spilt into thousands of little pieces. My heart felt like it was stabbed with a knife. My vision blurred. I felt true despair.

I wanted to cry but my body refused. I wanted to lay down and die but my body refused. I wanted it all to end... but it never did... Despite how much I wanted it.

What did he do to deserve a fate like this... It should have been me. I'M the demigod not bill. Why did he pick Bill and not me.

Bill didn't deserve this fate.

Why. WHY. WHY .WHY WHY WHY WHY! My life flashed before my eyes. When I first met Bill. To when we first became friends to when Kampe came for me. Then when he died. He was a protector, he didn't deserve this.

What did he do to deserve this fate... why...Luke...LUKE!!! YOU TORE HIM AWAY FROM HIS LIFE, I WILL KILL YOU LUKE! I screamed in my head as my body ached with pain.

This pain was worse than anything I had experienced before. I felt as if I was being eaten by million of tiny bugs.

I stared at Thaila, daughter of Zeus. The fleece healed her and brought her back to life. I felt.... complicated at that moment. She was saved. The barrier was intact and we were safe. All was good. But I felt different.

After Bill had died, I entered a constant mood of emptiness. I had no motivation to move, eat, or the basic human needs. I felt as if I was a zombie living among the human world once more but with no purpose.

I couldn't count the plenty of times during the night where I just laid awoke. Left me in my thoughts to suffer some more. It was hard without Bill... He was my best friend since I arrived at the school, 8 years old. He was there helping me in subjects I struggled with. He helped me read books that I couldn't read due to my dyslexia.

I wanted it all to end. But a little voice in my back of my head kept screaming at me for revenge. The little voice grew and grew until it was screaming for the blood of Luke. And day by day, I slowly accepted it.

______________________________

I walked out of the camp grounds, not looking back. I wanted strength badly. I wanted to see the blood of Luke so bad that I did something I never have done before. I gave in to the thoughts of wrath.

I was going to Texas. Far away from camp. I was going to return with strength that I will use to make Luke bleed... 

 I had no intentions of hiding from the monsters, no I wanted them to come for me. I wanted to slay the monsters. I simply saw them as stepping stones for power. But I had to learn how to use the ones I know of now.

I got onto the Greyhound. I had stolen some money from the camp store. I was on the window seat and a old man sat on the seat next to me. I brought out a note book and a pen and began to write down some theories about my powers and how to use them.

Air control and Fire control. Very good powers if I can learn how to use them correctly. I can push and pull objects with air control. With fire control I can make flame arrows, bombs, and balls of fire.

This is my arsenal that I will use to cut Luke down for Bill. He will regret the day he took Bill from me.
