Epilogue

Sorry it may seem I have dissapeared quite often, I've been to caught up with homework from my evil math teacher, and halloween was like the only day I had achance to actually enjoy my time on the computer, so here you go, the epilogue, and I am including deleted scenes after this.

Flashback(in italics)

'I promise you' She announces. 'I'll be there whenever you need me. Whether its a war, a fight, or some silly argument, I'll be there to help you through it'

"I'd like that, and I promise you to remember you, whenever, even if I do get distracted-"

'No, you must move on, you must focus on living your life, not worrying about us, you must accept that' She cuts in. 'About everything we've been through. You can't have what we have destroy your life, it's your life, and all I wish is for you to live it, even if it means I'm not here-alive-to live it with you'

I nodded my head, "Sure, I'll do that, it'll be hard, but I'll try"

She smiles, even from the distance I can see her beautiful distance as she stands alongside with er brother. 'Thanks, and about the last thing you said...' She hesitates, and starts blushing. 'I love you too'

Her brother smiles half-heartedly and I can see the tension in his shoulders. She then speaks up, 'We must go, but listen, you might not notice it, but I'm always there, making sure you stay safe.' And with that she had vanished to wherever she may have gone, leaving me to my own thoughts, well until Will had shooken me from my thoughts.

"Michael, watch out!" Will pushed me to the ground as an enemy sword swung over our heads. He landed next to me, spraining his wrist probably as I landed straight on my back. We both moaned and pulled ourselves to our feet.

"You all right?" He asks, making sure nothing was about to attack.

I nod, "Yea, I'm good, you?"

"My wrist'll be fine, come on, let's help Martika and Mya, shall we?" He askes, smiling big.

"Yea, let's go" I announce and run with him to the last spot I seen them. We halted, as we saw what the problem was, there were three hellhounds, snarling, and snapping at them as they held their weapons out. Mya, a Trident, shaped as the original, and a Machete, a prized possesion of Martikas, smeared with the biggest hounds blood.

"Michael, Willl," Mya shouts over their snarls. "Got your quivers? We're going to need help"

Will and I smile at each other, and pull out one of our arrows and aims at one of the hounds, shooting accurately like old buddies again; shoulders touching, raising precisly as the other, and releasing the string at the same time, watching cautiously as the arrow flies. "We've got it covered," I say, as Will shoots another one at the largest hound.

"Thanks" Martika announces, as Mya pokes one of the hounds carcass making sure they were dead, disgust crossing her face.

"That's the least of our worries, some Empousai are heading here, says some of the water spirits," Mya mutters. "Schist"

"Well we better stop them, we're only a about a mile from camp, if they get past us, we're screwed," Martika announces.

I chuckle, "Let's get going, shall we?"

We lead the girls and a couple of minor demigods torwards the small creek, Mya following the spirits instructions, and spot them in the distance. We silence the young demigods, telling them to corner them from the opposite side, and they leave in a hurry. One being a Hermes child and one Apollo, we hope they stay quiet and fast, or else we'll lose them.

We see their backs facing us, and we sneak up behind them. When they stop for a split second, we crouch below the top of a bush, and then continue creeping behind them.

"On three," I tell them. "One" I mutter silently as they nod their heads. "Two," they get ready. "Three!" I say louder and we all lunge as if we practiced our whole life for this. As they rush out and scream, 'For Camp!' I hesitate, knowing why they were walking so slow.

Prim, a daughter of Demeter, was in their clutches, and she was not in good shape. She was cut up badly and was unconcious, senslesss to her surrondings. I've always noticed her in the fields, and was struck hard, when one of the younger Hermes kids had told me that she had a crush on me. She was pretty, beautful with her natrual braid, but I never noticed until that day, and ever since then, Will, and some of our old buddies would tease me when they saw me blush in her presence.

I didn't notice that I was thinking too hard, until Will eyed me and winked his left eye, chuckling, as if to say, 'Nows your chance.' I chuckle and shake my head. But either way I charged as anyone do, slicing one of the empousa's head off, enraging another. Will just in time sliced that one in half, as she was about to strike me, and I silently thanked him.

We all had our shot at slicing them, including the newbies, and all we had left was the largest empousai, cornered by the six of us. She hissed and snarled like a snake mixed with a dog, but that didn't stop us. we all had a clear view of Prim, besides Will and the Hermes kid, Charles. She was in worse shape then we thought, seeing a severs Hellhound bite on her left leg.

Suprising all of us, including me, I lunged first, followed by Will and the girls, Will slaming his bow against her skull, as Mya's trident emerged from the back as she jabbed her in the stomach. Prim nearly dropped to the ground, if I wasn't ready, but luckily she was okay. I placed her down, getting distracted by how bad she was, and she had wokened up immediately as she touched the ground. I turned my head just a second after she recognized me. She blushed and called out my name. I turned on instinct and all I heard was a wicked laugh, and terrified screams coming from the rest of them, and then it hit me. A wicked sharp claw reached out and wraped around my waist, pulling me away from the group, I looked back and met my competition, a dracanae hissed and was pulling me into the woods, and I had no clue what I was supposed to do, my bow had fallen, and my quiver was slipping off. The other demigods had froze, stunned from the sight.

That's when I heard a howl, that I recognized immediately. Like she promised, Zoe shot from the bushes, followed immediately by Keith who came along, snarling and snapping at the empousa.

"What the?" Prim asks, me chuckling inside, while all I can show is fear. For the most part, I just screamed 'AHHHHH.' In a blink of an eye, all I could see was teeth, and the ground rushing up to me. Luckily for me, I landed perfectly, and it was easy for me to recover. I got up, dusted myself off, and checked my surroundings. It was the same, Everyone froze, well, except Zoe and Keith, who was hiding under the shades of the trees, perfectly disguised. Prim was now staring at me in shock, wondering what was going on.

"Michael?" She asked, paralyzed with terror. I stepped near her, putting my arms out, glancing slightly at Zoe for a split second. Prim backed up instinctively, like any Demeter girl would, ans I thought ultimately of Zoe, who seemed to do the same whenever anyone would do that to her.

"It's all right, I'm fine, we're all fine" I try and calm her down.

"But-But, there was..." She replies. I step forward, and this time she calms down. I look back at Zoe, and she winks.

I smile, and then Prim speaks up, "Who-Who is that?" She points a bony finger at her, as her whole arm starts shaking.

"A friend, I think you'd like her, now come on, let's go help our friends shall we?" I announce, and she just gives me the eye. I look back at Zoe and notice she is know standing up, I wink back and she smiles. We both know she has kept her promise, and this time, we will not break it.

Sucky epilogue, but its halloweeen and I'm really tired, so don't expect me to write the deleted scenes quite yet. I want candy and i'm also tired.

Enjoy and Review,
