CH.18 Punk Girl Tries To Stab Me

Annabeth led me to Luke and told him that I would be joining their training from now on and then promptly left, I also saw how her attitude changed when she talked to Luke 'girl got it hard.

I sat with the other demigods as Luke showed them how to fight with a sword, showing them an example and teaching them the basics, I knew most of this so I kind of just tuned him out.

I was thinking about how to start my cult and get a few believers for Hestia, she made me feel nice and I want to keep my promise 'what is the best way to start a cult' it though.

'The best way to start a cult is to get desperate people and to do that I either need to heal them or give them protection, then I need a charismatic person to lead them preferably a woman, you don't see woman cult leaders and it will make my cult seem less dangerous as people tend to flock more to women than men' I though.

I was about to continue but someone interrupted me "Adrian! are you listening to anything that I'm saying" Luke said bringing my attention to him.

"No not really, I was thinking about something else," I said bluntly.

"Sigh, well can you please try to pay attention this can save your life you know," Luke said a little annoyed.

"I know but I already know how to fight with a sword," I said.

"How about you come to show me what you got then," Luke said and made a come here motion with his sword.

I simply stood up and went to him bringing out Cain along the way, "what's are the rules "I said.

"First to concede," Luke said and then took his stance.

I simply stood there, waiting for him to strike, this was the way that I fought my way was two parts defending and one part attacking, I find that I like countering more than attacking, relying on my reflexes and skill than just brute strength.

Luke came at me as swift as wind proving himself as a true son of Hermes, but I stay calm like water and begin blocking his attacks, his attacks were fast and strong showing how much he's practiced whit a sword. But soon I started countering his attacks as fast as he was, they couldn't quite keep up with my attacks or strength.

And within a few minutes of fighting disarmed him, I continued and went for the kill but I stopped myself just close enough to his neck, so I don't kill "I win" I said and then left. After getting far enough I shadow teleported near the entrance to the camp, by the big pine tree, and immediately thew up.

"fuck" I said and then sat down near the pine tree.

The reason I threw up is that even if I had killed monsters I've never killed a person even in both of my lives and just the thought of me coming so close to almost ending a life made me sick to my stomach, I don't know if it's just my old self affecting me or because I'm a son of hades and have a deeper appreciation for life but right now I don't feel right with myself.\

I went into my inventory and pulled out a cassette tape player, it was the only thing that I could find that worked from the destruction of the house. Of course, I uploaded new songs to it and now I'm about to play one of my favorites to calm me down.

I put in the tape and press play, making 'green day boulevard of broken dreams' I dint put on my headphones and just played the song close to my ear as I leaned on the pine tree closing my eyes to find some type of peace.

And then something weird happened, I felt as if I fell into something and then I was In a room, the room looked oddly similar to my room but was less gothic and more rebel rock, I appeared lying on the bed and I could hear my music being played in the background but it was muffled out, I was about to look around until something stopped my movements, a sharp weapon to be exact.

"Who are you and what are you doing here," a voice said.

I turned to see a girl which shocked me on how beautiful she looked, she had should length short and spiky black hair, electric blue eyes, freckles on her nose and had the punk looked to her, overall, the only thing that I had to say was she was my type like something told me she was the one.

"Adrian Michaels and I don't even know how I got here," I said not showing any fear or moving.

She looked at me with those eyes, a beautiful electric that looked so wild like a storm itself, they were judging me deciding if I was lying or not.

"And I'm just supposed to believe that," she said and pushed her spear which I recognized now a little deeper into my neck.

"Look I don't know what to tell you I was listening to music while leaning on a tree and then I was here," I said still not showing anything on my face.

"Yeah, I can hear that, at least you have good taste in music," she said almost smiling.

She squinted her eyes as if trying to think of something "who you're parents" she said seriously.

"Godly I'm guessing," I said.

"No mortal, of course godly," she said angrily.

"Hades," I said, and then within seconds like a switch was flipped she pulled her spear back and thrust it towards my heart, at this time I had reacted and tried to teleport away only to wake up where I was sitting breathing in a gulf of air.

"Okay I think I've had enough for today," I said then shadow teleported away to somewhere quiet I needed to think about what just happened.
