Mount Olympus [3]

Nic

I curse mentally and back up to Jace, taking Halee from him and holding her close.

Be careful, Jacks. I meant what I said before. I can't lose you again.

Jackie

Wait...he's a vampire too. Fire.

I look at Rayah and she swallows, "Why are you looking at me?"

I look at her hands and she sighs, standing. She walks beside me and I take a few steps back, knowing that if he doesn't like fire, I won't too. I hide behind Nic and Gray chuckles, "Hey, you..." He pinches Rayah's side, flirty. She turns her fist to fire and punches him across the face, making him thrown into a wall, and his cheek turning ash.

His eyes widen and he looks at Rayah, "Oh god..."

Nic

I glance at Jace and find his fists clenched, his mind probably dwelling on the fact the guy touched her. Shifting Halee protectively in my arms, I pray to every god I know that he can keep himself under control as well. As much as I want Gray to pay, I don't want Jace going through what he did at work that one day... I don't want his family to see that.

Jackie

I see Gray's fangs and I send Rayah a mind message, Be careful. He's still a vampire and still a bloodsucker.

Rayah nods back at me and Gray makes a run for her, only to be punched in the stomach. He falls to the ground, Rayah laughing her a*s off.

He grabs her foot, tripping her, and she turns her whole body to fire, causing him to scream and sheild his eyes. I chuckle, watching as he gets his a*s kicked. That's ma' girl.

Nic

Jace takes his kids in his arms in an attempt to calm himself, shielding them from the fight. I turn Halee's face away from it and watch anxiously.

Jackie

He turns to ash, Rayah standing as she holds balance on the wall, "He bit me," She whispers, looking at her arm, "I...I don't feel so good..."

I run to her and lower her to the ground, "Deep breaths. It's just the venom."

Nic

Jace sets the kids down and I sit on the couch with them. He bolts to Rayah and leans her against him, looking up at Jackie.

"Do we take it out?" he asks, "Or... run its course?"

Jackie

I shrug, "My venom isn't fatal..." I sigh, "But I don't know if his is or not."

Rayah looks at me, "Jesus Christ!" She mutters, rolling on her stomach, "Hurts..."

I nod and look at the bite, "It will, Rayah."

Nic

I watch, unable to explain the emotions flashing across Jace's face as he watches her.

"I-I want it out," he whispers, taking Rayah in his arms, "I don't want her like this. There's too much risk."

Jackie

I sigh, "I really don't know how to get it out," I lean against the wall, "Ideas?"

Nic

I'll regret knowing this later, but...

"Twilight style," I suggest, looking at Jace, "Just keep yourself under control."

Jackie

Rayah starts crying, "M-Make it stop..."

I look at Jace, "Keep under control."

I look down at Rayah, How did Nic know that?

Gemini

"I want a whole platoon deployed! You know your designated destination!" I yell.

Olympus was on high alert the Old Gods resurfacing, I look at Jason as things were getting serious. Tahira and Tyler with me, as guards were scrambling around to get in formation.

"Mom whats going on? What do you mean the Old Gods are surfacing?" Tahira asked.

"Before my rise to power twelve Olympian gods ruled on Olympus, but that was long ago. But listen my daughter, I must take back my blade if I am to win against your grandfaghter Zeus." I said.

She heatated but knew the risks, she took the blade off her back and handed it to me. The feeling and grip of the blade all to familer to me, I look to Jason as he nods, he knew what was happening he had been there the day I invaded and took control of Olympus. I turned and made for the door time to meet against my father once more...

Jace

I hold Rayah close and allow my fangs to lengthen, kissing the wound to numb it before trying to draw the venom out.

Jason

Great. All over again.

I stand at Gemini's side, my old sword in my hands. She turns to the door and I follow suit, ready to do this again.

Rayah

Something sinks into my arm, calming me, and I close my eyes. My heartbeat growing slow, "Okay, Jace," Jackie says, "She's good."
