Hey guys sorry for taking so long im busy with school and other stuff i won't be able to upload as often anymore, more like once every 2 weeks.

Chapter 13: our friendly neighborhood assassin.

We walked through the tree's to where nemesis told us where we would find the centainatle bronze. We found a clearing and there was a very handsome man looking in pond. And all around him were nymphs wearing t-shirts and hats that all said. "Omg i 3 N"

"That the heck" I said looking around. "Who's throwing the party?" then in the corner of my eye I saw movement very faint. I grabbed an arrow and fired it at the tree the thing moved behind.

Hazel and Leo were on their feet as soon as i shot.

"Chris, what was that about?" Leo asked.

"Show yourself" I ordered, another arrow ready to fire.

"Show" came a feminine voice from behind the tree, a girl wearing an old greek tunic that blended into the background so perfectly she was invisible, I wondered where i can get one of those.

"Who are you" Hazel asked.

"Who are you" the girl said.

I lowered my bow. "Your echo, you can only repeat things other people say"

"Echo" she confirmed nodding her head.

"How did you know that" Hazel asked me.

I looked at her. "Like I said over and over, my dad taught me greek myths and legends since I was five, and if your echo that must be Narcissus" I pointed to the guy looking in the pond.

"Narcissus" echo aggred.

"Hazel" i said "does the bronze happen to be in that pond with that guy"

Hazel scrunched her eyebrows in concentration. "Yes it is"

"Well then." I said. "We are going to have a hard time getting it"

"Why? Is he in love with his own reflection" Leo joked.

"That is exactly right Leo" I said trying to come up with a plan to get it from him.

"Right" echo said.

"He died looking at himself for so long" I continued. "Well lets try plan A, ask him nicely"

"Does that ever work?" Leo asked.

"Nope" i said "lets go"

We walked out into the clearing and were immediately being shouted at by the nymphs.

"Hey we were here first"

"This handsome man is ours"

"Leave now!"

I grabbed a few arrows and threw them at the nymphs feet and that shut them up.

"You can throw arrows?" Hazel asked.

"You can do more with them than just shoot" i answered. "Now let's get that bronze"

We walked over to Narcissus.

"Im so amazing" he muttered in a dreamy tone.

"Uh hello" Hazel said. "Mr. Narcissus, is it ok if we have that bronze"

"No" he said still keeping the same tone.

"NO!" all the nymphs yelled. "The bronze is what keeps him here!"

I gave them a look and they shut up again.

"I'll trade you" Leo said pulling a mirror out of his toolbelt and handing it to Narcissus.

"Ah I see you have a picture of me, I don't blame you i am amazing" he said glancing at the mirror.

"He is amazing" one of the nyph fan girls said.

Leo threw her hand in the air. "I give up"

"Lets head back and figure out what we do next" Hazel said

"Back" echo agreed.

Then i heard something hurtling through the air, and it was coming straight at us, fast.

"GET DOWN!" I yelled tackling the others behind a rock. As the objects soared overhead.

Their were shrieks of surprise and fright from the nymphs then everything went silent.

"Stay down" I whispered.

"Stay" echo said.

I slowly peaked over the rock and found all of the nymphs and Narcissus all on the floor. And above them all was the hooded teen I saw in my dream.

"I know your there" he said not looking over. He walked over and picked up the bronze from the pond.

I willed my bracelet to be a sword. "Why did you kill them?"

"Oh they are not dead" the hooded guy said. "I used blunts, they are knocked out, but when they wake up they will have huge headaches"

I don't know why but i turned my sword back to a bracelet. For some reason i trusted him

"Hey that's ours" I said pointing to the bronze shield. "We need it to fix our ship"

"The argo 2" he said.

I was taken aback by him knowing who we were and what our ship was called.

Then without warning he threw the bronze shield like it was a frisbee straight into my hands.

"Thanks" i said shocked.

"I must be going" he said. "Till we meet again" then he melted into shadow and was gone.
