I was on the floor. Gasping for breath. Luke was out cold. I still couldn't suffice any air. I thought of Caleb and the hair pin and to take deep breaths. As I got the pleasure of feeling air once again filling my lungs I saw Luke twitch. I thought of his eyes and strength and the air was gone again. Luke sat up and looked at me. I started putting my hands to my throat and Luke stared eyes getting wider realizing what he did. I plead and pleaded with my eyes but he didn't notice he was to busy trying to find the answers to what he did. I crawled to him and punched him in the leg. He looked at me again then put his mouth to mine. I was trying to figure out what he was doing but passed out. My eyes fluttered open to be limp in someone's arms. My head bobbed my arms by my head. My legs were a bit numb and my stomach wasn't moving. At least it felt that way. I was laid on a bed. "Come on this is the last time. Just a little farther" I was picked up. Recognizing those voices, my right arm went for my sword. It wasnt there. My left arm went for my left pocket. It wasn't there. I left hanging then felt something on my legs. Someone was lifting them up. I started slipping down. I didn't do anything. They were probably testing me. I was finally off and fell in someone else's arms. "It's ok Lillie. You can open your eyes now" I didn't. I left them closed. I couldn't pin point the voice but I knew I knew it. "Yeah she's still out" "No Leo I'm gonna talk if I want to she's hurt!" He whisper- hollered. Go figure. They were behind this. "Hey! Dang it she got away!" The creepy guy that had had me before said. "I told you they would try to get her and you didn't listen. I'm not helping it was fun hurting her but I can't do it anymore. I'll be discovered and kicked out." The gruffer guy said. His voice was deep and steady but still rough. The other guys voice was smooth and clean but still a bit rough. "Listen unless you want on the streets your helping me find her." I lifted my head and knocked down whoever was holding me as they passed by and threw a rock at Leo. Of course he ducked but he was still down when they were gone. I looked at who I had pinned. Luke. I kissed him on the lips like a quick peck then helped him up. "Your awake thank god!" He wrapped his arms tightly around me and gave me a huge bear hug. Surprisingly I found myself hugging him back. And I didn't hug him like I was gonna kill him. It was a sentimental hug. Weird. I've never done that. "What in the Hades happened to me?" I said as the ground rumbled. "I tried to get you to breath so I did CPR sort of and I couldn't get you to wake up so I brought you to the infirmary and they stole you from there." "Oh" "Yeah but your ok now and I know who they are" "Who?!" I asked sitting on his stomach getting excited. "The one that didn't hurt you but likes you is Daron son of Hepheastus. The one that was trying to kill you is Blayn son of Ares" "My own brothers" I mumbled in disbelief. "What? I'd didn't hear you" "There my brothers" I stated simply. He just realized the connection. "Oh my gods. I didn't realize! Oh I'm so sorry Lillie!" "Don't be." I waved him off and ninja rolled over to Leo and surprisingly on top of Nico sending both of us rolling. He ended up on top of me. His left hand was pressed firmly next me his thumb touching my hip and his right hand was placed in front of my head. He legs were beside me digging into the ground to prevent me from rolling any more. My legs started to go up so I pushed him over and rolled. I didn't want to hit his 'special spot'. I fell right into someone's arms. They started running. I heard screaming behind me. I looked up and saw Blayn. My arms wrapped around his neck, why? I don't know. I held on and buried my face in his chest which I found was firm. He hugged me close to him now. He turned a little and tripped. He started falling and things went in slow motion. I looked up staring at his eyes, my eyes full of fear, he saw me and his eyes went soft then threw me. My legs went over my head and my hands went for his. My face now showing fear. My legs landed first and they crumbled under me sending me back landing on my head. I got dizzy and my back slammed into a tree but it was from force. I slowly lifted my head to see someone standing over me. They crouched in front of me and lifted my head up with their hand and spat on my face. "Rotten bi***" he kicked me in the side and left. I crumbled up and groaned in pain. Someone slid past me and backed up. They pushed a strand of hair behind my ear and lifted me up. "I didn't mean for this to happen to you. He went to far. Can you forgive me?" It was Blayn. I slowly nodded wincing in pain. He went to touch my rib and I yelped. He jerked back his hand and carefully held me. He walked on and followed the kid who hurt me. I later learned it was Daron... Blayn sat me down next to a tree and told me to relax. I am not capable of relaxing it's literally impossible for me. I watched as he walked over to him  and asked about what he did to me. "I gave that little priss what she deserved!" "To get spat at and kicked in the ribs?!" "Hey you cracked three of them!" "You didn't help!" "Aw well" he shrugged. Blayn got mad. He picked him up by his shirt and punched him in the face. I winced knowing the pain. He kicked him in the stomach and his 'special spot'. I laughed to myself. He threw him at a tree and Daron swung back bashing him in the nose and hitting him in the gut. I healed myself and got up. I shadow traveled behind him and whispered in his ear. "Boo" he jumped and turned. I kneed him in the groin. He doubled over and I reached for my sword and remembered it wasn't there. Something was being thrown at me. I could hear and feel it. I reached up and caught my sword. I laughed at myself again. I kicked down a tree limb and used it as a distraction. I flung it up to distract just Daron but it caught Blayns attention too. I laughed out loud and sliced at Daron I stabbed him and hoped I didn't kill him. I elbowed him in the head and ran tears forming in my eyes. Someone grabbed my arm and pulled me back me falling into them. They turned me around but before I could see who it was the hugged me to their chest. Not with force, but with care. I sighed into his chest wrapping my arms around him. I let my hand drop to his sword. I slowly pulled it out. I looked up holding it. It was just Blayn. I noticed he had blond hair which I could tell was naturally black or a dark brown. His eyes were blue even though he was a child of Ares. I put it back before he noticed. "Why" "Huh" "Why did you do this" "Lillie now isn't the time" he said glancing around nervously. I grabbed his hand and started running after someone. I'm pretty sure it was Nico. I hollered his name and he turned around. He saw Blayn and glared at him. Before he could pull his sword I put my my hand on his.  "It's ok. As soon as we get back he's gonna tell me why he did this" I said grabbing Nico's hand. I got light headed after a few steps and stumbled. Nico put a hand on my waist and so did Blayn both sending glares to each other. My left slammed into the ground as I lost feeling in it. I yelped. My other knee collapsed and I fell back my vision blurring. I looked at Nico who was staring at me with a face of fear. I looked down at the arrow that was showing through. I shrugged and passed out.
