Mount Olympus [8]

Nic

I study him before sending a gust of light his way to knock her out of his grip, creating a light barrier beneath her so she wouldn't hit the ground too hard.

Jackie

I hit the ground and bring my knees to my face, him hitting the poll. His neck snaps and he drops to the ground.

Nic

I stare at him for a moment, not believing I'd actually gone so far as to kill him, before rushing forward and checking for a pulse, "Sh*t. No. Hell, you're a b*stard, but I didn't..."

Jackie

I cough, shaking as I look up.

Nic

I take a few steps back and shake my head, fisting my hair. No, no, no. I'm dead. I'm so freaking dead. I killed someone... I actually murdered someone.

Jackie

I stand shakily before crossing my jacket over myself as I start walking home.

Nic

Out of panic, I use my light to disintegrate the body before chasing after Jackie, "Promise me you won't tell. Please."

Jackie

I shake my head, "Wouldn't think of it."

Nic

I nod and take a deep breath, swallowing and trying to calm down, "I-I'll walk you home, if you don't mind."

Jackie

I nod, shaking still, "Yes, please. I don't want to be alone."

Nic

I nod and start walking with her, hesitating before taking off my jacket and draping it over hers.

Jackie

I glance at him, getting to my house.

Nic

I walk her to the door and hesitate at it, wondering if I should go home.

Jackie

I walk in and look at him, "You can come in if you don't want to be alone."

Nic

I hesitate before following her in, deciding that I'm not in a good enough state of mind to be alone.
