Chapter 8: The Bermuda Love Triangle
JBV: I thought you fired him!
Ally: It was only in the PM section....
Anthony: I'm not gonna shout at you this time, ok?
Ally: Let's start!!
JBV's POV
What was I thinking, kissing her so early. I just ruined any chance I had with her. But I kept my lips there, I wanted to see her reaction.
It amazed me.
She kissed back. She actually was ok with me kissing her. We stayed like that for a long time until I heard Percy's voice.
"Where the frick are those two..." I heard him muttering. We quickly seperated and I helped her up before he arrived.
"Where did you guys go, went to make out somewhere?" He asked mischieviously. Juvienne facepalmed and I protested.
"No!!" Just then, we heard someone scream. We 3 ran to the others and saw Alana trying to wake Leo(Shane) as he lay on the ground, trembling. Suddenly, he opened his eyes, which were glowing gold, said in Kronos's voice,
"Only 5 of you all can come to face me and my mother. You shall not bring more than 5 or I shall demolish the sprit of your dear Allyson." Leo(Shane)'s eyes flickered from gold to his crystal blue.
"Come tomorrow, at sunrise, or else I will demolish Allyson's sprit. If I do, she will never rest in peace." Then his eyes flickered back to crystal blue before his eyes rolled up to his head and he went unconscious. Alana knelt by him.
"Leo!!" She shouted at him, pleading him to wake up.
"HEALERS!!" Jason shouted. A few Apollo kids carried Leo(Shane) onto a stretcher. Alana followed them, worried sick.
Anthony's POV
I was done cleaning Ally's room. I put back the book in it's proper place and left. She wanted a big brother. And she wanted ME. If only I told her, but I was too much of a coward. I dried my eyes and started to clean all of the Author's rooms, plus throwing Violet's stuff out of the window. I really wished Ashley killed her though. After I cleaned the whole house, I felt a buzzing in my pocket. I took my phone out and saw that Aquestrius was calling me. My heart thumped rapidly as I answered it.
"Sup?" I tried to sound cool.
"Anthony."
"Yea?"
"COME TO CAMP. NOW."
"What's wrong?!"
"Just come!"
"Ok, I'm coming!" I hung up, got the keys of he house, went outside, locked the door, mounted my mecha and rode to camp. Annabeth was there at the entrance.
"Anthony. Aquestrius had a vision about you. Or more specifically, your history." I gulped. Shit.
"Uh....really?" I asked. She nodded.
"Anthony!!" I heard someone shout and looked a bit to my right. Aquestrius was running towards me. Annabeth left to supervise something and I followed Aquestrius to her cabin. Yep. She has her own cabin. The blinding white walls showing pictures of the past, present and future were moving, artifacts in bullet proof cases, The Sibyline Books in a book shelf. We entered her room and she closed the door. We sat on her bed.
"So....what did you see?" I asked, trying to sound brave. She replied,
"Your whole history. I'm so sorry for you...." We were silent for a while, then I told her,
"Tell me what did you see. The whole lot of it." She told me,
"I think I rather show you." She held out her hand. I blushed as I took it. Just then, the scene in front of me changed.
Luna knocked on the door, her other hand squeezed tightly around mine. She was 10. She opened the door and we both went in. Mom sat down on the hospital bed, a proud smile on her face and tears in her eyes as she cradled a baby. Dad smiled.
"Luna, Anthony. Come here and meet your new sister." Luna let go of my hand and we both walked towards Dad. Mom gave her to Luna, who started crying. Luna managed to get her to sleep again, then she gave her to me. I felt love for her at once. On that day I swore my life to protect her. As I cradled the baby in my arms, she lulled herself to sleep. I kissed her forehead and gave her to Dad.
"What's her name?" I asked. Mom replied,
"We wanted you to decide. Luna decided your name after all." I was delighted to. I beamed with honour as I told them,
"Allyson. Her name would be Allyson Venne Héroe." The scene shifted. I was 10, Ally was 3 and Luna was 13. Blakk's guards were ambushing our house. Luna, Mom and Dad were downstairs fending them off. I ran into the house despite the fact that it was collasping and it was on fire. I ran up to Mom and Dad's room. Ally was in her cradle, crying. I quickly got her, wrapped her up in a blanket and rushed out. Luna was surronded.
Mom was unconscious.
"MOM!!" I rushed to her, but my dad stopped me.
"Anthony!! Go!! Take Allyson and run!! Your mother will be fine!! And take them." He gave me Heatstroke and Alvord, an Aquabeek and Frostcrawler combined. I took them and ran. I ran as fast as my feet could take me. With tears in my eyes, I left my family, my only family left being my sister. My dear, dear sister. Just then, I heard a slug being shot out of a blaster.
"NO!!" I heard someone shout and it was the last thing I heard before my world went black. The scene shifted. I was chained to a wall with a tremedous headache. Luna, Mom and Dad were chained to the same wall. Ally was in a cradle, awake and crying. I heard a deep cackle and Blakk came in. Dad growled.
"Marcus Héroe. Hero of Slugterra. His family. Beautiful baby here, I must say." He stroked Ally's head and she cried. I growled and shouted,
"YOU STAY AWAY FROM MY SISTER, YOU SON OF A-" I was cut off by a metal whip to my chest. I shouted in pain.
"ANTHONY!!" My parents and Luna shouted in alarm. Ally, only 3, cried louder and the guards laughed.
"Start the process. Make sure it's.......gruesome enough for the baby to remember it." He left. 5 seconds after my mind went numb with excruating pain. I tried to use my powers, but this place drained all of them. The scene shifted once again. Me, Mom and Dad were in the Dark Periphery, all unconscious. Luna was nowhere to be seen. A man, Steven Shadow, was cradling Ally in his arms. Beside him was a woman, about 30, cradling another baby in her arms. A few Shadow Clan members were checking me and my parents. Somehow I could understand what they were saying.
"Are they all alive?" One was asking another with a crown. He touched our foreheads, then replied,
"Only the boy. The man and the woman....they are in a better place." Steven protested
"WHAT? They can't possibly be dead!!" The Shadow Clan leader shook his head sadly.
"No. They are dead. I'm sorry. We'll arrange a funeral and the boy....." The woman sighed.
"I'll tell him."
"Anthony!!" My eyes snapped open. Aquestrius was shaking me awake. I sat up groggrily and asked,
"How long have I been out? And did you see all that?" She replied,
"I did see all that. And you've been out for 2 hours." I was shocked. 2 HOURS?!!
"Are you serious?!!" I asked. She nodded. I stood up, but she gestured me to stay. So I did. I couldn't help it. Her sky blue eyes and golden blond hair framing her face were undenialbly beautiful. I could stare at her for hours.
"So Ally's your sister." She told me. I frowned.
"Yea. Valdezi already knows....." I decided to pick up Ally's habit of calling Johnny Valdezi, so that her memory wold always stay alive.
"Why don't you tell the rest?" She asked. I replied,
"Becaus it'll spread to the whole world, then they'll ask me about her history, which I missed most of it. They spam me with questions about Ally, and...." I trailed off. She understood. Just then, she saw something.
"Anthony, there's blood on your shirt..." She told me. I looked at my shirt. A few small dots of blood were on my shirt. I wiped it away, but when I pressed my shirt against my wound, blood came out and I winced with pain.
"Anthony, take off your shirt." She asked. I was bewildred.
"What? Why?" I asked, blushing. She blushed fiercely.
"That came out wrong...." She said as I laughed. She laughed for a while, then said,
"Seriously tho, I wanna see the scars. Maybe the Apollo Cabin could do something about them." I replied,
"No, I'm fine......." She pleaded with me.
"Pwease Anthony...." She pouted. I sighed and gave in.
"Fine, I swear you're so immature at times..." I pulled my shirt off me. I heard her whisper,
"Oh my gods..." She looked at my scars, which were still healing from my self torture earlier this morning. She bit her lip.
"Anthony, did you reopen them?!" I replied,
"No, they take time to heal." She glared at me.
"Spit it." She said in a commanding voice. I groaned and replied,
"Yes." She gasped.
"Anthony, we have to take you to the infirmary, I'll make something up, just come!!" She stood up. I grabbed her hand.
"No. I don't want people fussing over me." She rolled her eyes.
"You're just like Ally. Her attitude. Always denying help, even if she needs it. Fine." She sat back down on the bed.
"Anthony, I need to tell you something." She told me. She looked down. I scooted closer to her.
"What's the matter, Questie?" It was a nickname I invented for her, I used it sometimes. She replied,
"I want to break up with Aquito." I was surprised. She seemed to happy with him all the time, and he treats her good.
"Questie, what did he do?" I asked. She looked away.
"Tell me." I commanded, stern but with compassion. She told me,
"He isn't like Leo or Eli. Eli has Trixie AND Glynss, and married to both, yet he can keep both of them happy. And Leo, he devoted his life to her. He does whatever he can to make her happy. Aquito doesn't look like he cares. Like, at all. I want him to actually chat with me on Whatsapp, not just a short reply and going offline. Sometimes in real life he doesn't listen to me. He's only in this relationship because he pities me." A tear went down her cheeks. I put an arm around her and pulled her close.
"Questie, I'm so sorry......" I hugged her. She sniffed. When we let go, she told me,
"We have our first date planned tonight. If it doesn't turn out good, I just want you to know this." I told her,
"You can tell me anything, Questie." She took in a breath and replied,
"I love you."
Ally: AQUITRIUS IS OUT AND AQUESTHONY IS IN
Aquito: ALLY! I FUCKING HATE YOU
Ally: *sticks tongue out*
Anthony: Dude! Calm. Down.
Aquito: YOU SON OF A BITCH
JBV: He needs anger management lessons more than Anthony....
Ally: LOLOL
Anthony: *breathes in and out slowly, then calms down* Hey, Valdezi, maybe I won't shout at you all the time now.
JBV: Thanks
Ally: Bb!
