Mount Olympus [4]

Nic

I look around at the voice before dropping my swords and watching them take life on their own, bolting after Rayah once the girl is busy.

Rayah

I teleport back home and hug Jackie, "They tried to..."

"Sh..." she whispers, hugging me back.

Nic

I dissolve and reappear in the house, dropping where I stand and taking my head in my hands to catch my breath.

Rayah

I burst out crying and Jackie sits on the couch, bringing me on her lap and wrapping her arms around me, "Your okay. Your fine," she whispers, "Nothing happened."

Nic

Jace comes up to me and hands the babies over, going to help Jackie comfort Rayah.

Rayah

I glance at Jace and wipe my eyes, looking down.

Jace

I wipe her eyes after her and stay silent, not sure what to say yet.

Rayah

I swallow, still looking down, "He...He almost..."

Jace

I wrap an arm around her and kiss the top of her head, "S'over, Ray. S'okay now."

Rayah

I nod and Jackie moves me off her lap, sighing.

Jace

I motion Nic over and he crawls over. Looking back at Rayah, I sit back and sigh, "They're okay. They aren't going anywhere."

Rayah

I nod again, "I know."

Jace

I nod and study her before looking back at the babies.

Rayah

Jackie's eyes land on my arm and her eyes widen, "What...what happened?"

I look down at my arm and shrug, "The girl... She must've got it."

She nods and takes it in her hand, "Can you move it?"

I shrug and try to.

Jace

Nic hands me the babies and gets up, coming back with medical supplies. He gently takes her arm and looks over it.

"Does it hurt any?" he asks, looking up at her.
