The Five Demigods

Chapter 100!!! (Pt. 3)

"I can save Mitch."

Scott's grip on Xan's throat faltered just a bit; enough for Xan to get free.

"You're lying." Scott said, his heart pounding.

Xan shook his head frantically. "I'm not, I swear! That's why I can here. I didn't know anything about it until a couple hours ago and I didn't have the time to get away, until recently. I swear to you, I'm telling the truth." He even went as far as holding his arms up in surrender, showing he had no intent to fight.

Scott just looked at him. He searched Xan's eyes for any sort of evidence that he was lying. He found none. The look in the blonds eyes seemed genuine.

"Tell me what it is." Scott said firmly, putting his powers to use.

Xan seemed reluctant at first, but something tingled inside him, making him voice what Scott wanted to know.

"It's the blood Matt took for you and the baby." He said, his mouth not giving him the chance to say it himself. "Some sort of concoction. I saw him use it. That's why he's healed."

"And you think this could do the same for Mitch?"

"I think it's worth a shot."

Scott narrowed his eyes. "I have no reason to trust you. You lied to Avi for years about who you were. Why are you even working with Matt anyhow?"

Xan opened his mouth to speak, but was cut off by a scream.

Scott ran instantly in the direction of it. It seemed to be off in the distance, but he recognized it. That was a scream of pain; and the voice it came from sounded like Mitch.

Xan was on his tail, following. He stopped when he saw Scott do the same, and looked to see Avi walking back with Mitch in hand. Mitch's shoulder looked...different than usual, and his face was contorted with pain. His eyes had an evil gleam to them.

"What happened?" Scott asked, his eyes examining Mitch's body. He had a streak of blood going from the corner of his mouth, and his lip was swollen and bloody.

"Demetri's a little bitch." Avi growled.

"Only because you're so sensitive." Demetri snorted, earning a jolt that sent pain through his left shoulder.

"Shut up."

"Ohh, what are you gonna do? Hurt me?" Another snort came from Demetri as he laughed.

"Can I knock him out?" Avi looked at Scott. "It'll be a lot easier to think if he was quiet."

Scott looked at Xan, then looked back to Avi. "Xan says he might have a cure to get Demetri to go away."

"It ain't that easy, Princess." Demetri clicked his tongue and winked.

Scott blushed at the name unwillingly, earning a look from Avi that was ignored. He was actually so thrown off by it, that he lost his focus on his grip and Demetri slipped from his grasp.

He didn't run and he didn't fight. He was in no condition to do either at the moment.

"I've been with Mitch for years. That liiiiitle voice in the back of his mind. Always there, always present. Not always verbal, but always there." He smiled, holding his shoulder, allowing a look of pain to cross his face, just so Scott could see it.

Scott did see it, and it was talking so much not to lunge. Demetri made eye contact with him and gave a chuckle.

"You really think Mitch would wanna marry the likes of you? You?" He shook his head. "You know he doesn't actually love you, right? You're just a pathetic piece of ass, a fucktoy that just so happens to be the mother of his child. And a shitty one at that."

Ouch. Scott felt that one deep in his heart. He knew this wasn't Mitch speaking, but it didnt make the words hurt any less. He took a deep breath, looking at Demetri, preparing for the next beating.

"I mean, why do you think he fucked Avi the day he found out you were pregnant?"

"I shut your mouth for you, if you don't do it yourself." Avi snarled, stepping closer to Scott, sensing the blows he was taking mentally.

"He doesn't care about you." Demetri continued, taking a step closer to Scott. "You've always been the weakest. Your abilities are the most passive, and you have no combat skills. You're useless. Just like Mitch...Avi...Kirstie...and, even Kevin, have all previously stated." He said slowly, a smile creeping onto his face as he used his good arm to point to each of the demigods in question.

Kirstie and Kevin had shown up, having lost sight of Matt in the woods. Kevin was still listening, but he was turned around, scanning the wood that surrounded the property.

Scott was now fighting to keep the tears from surfacing and running down his face.

It's not Mitch. It's not Mitch. It's not Mitch. He tried to convince himself. As much as he tried, hearing the words in Mitch voice made it that much harder to ignore.

"You couldn't even bond with your daughter properly. Like you hated her or something. What was that about anyway? Why did you practically disown your daughter? Might as well ask it, since I'm sure everyone's been wondering."

All eyes went on Scott. As much as they hated what was happening, they truly wanted to know why. Kevin even turned around.

Scott froze. He really couldn't answer that question. He didn't even know why.

"I...I know know." He said, looking at the ground. There was heat behind his eyes,tears threatening to pool.

Demetri snorted. "Of course you don't. Why would you? You hardly know what going on half the time, anyway."

"That's enough." Avi said. He was disgusted that all of them had let it go this far. He looked at Xan, who used to be his best friend. "You have it?"

Xan nodded, having stole it from Matt while everyone was distracted. No one even saw him leave.

Avi moved so fast, Demetri didn't have time to process hed moved until he was zooming at him. He quickly brought up his good arm and threw a fire ball at Avi, hitting him in the ribs, knocking him to the ground.

Avi held his side in pain, as the burning sensation ripped it's way across the area.

"Seriously?" Demetri said, looking at him. "Didnt I just say somthing about that not working?"

"Worth a shot." Avi groaned, hauling himself to his feet.

Demetri decided he was hired and formed another fireball. This one for Scott. He went to throw it, but his aim seemed to veer off just as he let go of it, missing Scott by just a hair.

Scott didn't seem to notice. He was so caught up in what was said that he didn't really know what was happening around him.

Then, he began feeling angry. Sudden rage went through him and he stormed up and grabbed the needle from Avi. He continued till he was closing in on Demetri, who was trying to attack, and kept missing.

Demetri's confidence was quickly replaced by anxiety, when Scott walked up and grabbed his shirt, yanking him closer.

"I hope this hurts." He snarled before raising his hand and sticking the needle into the demigods neck.

Demetri clenched his jaw as tight as he could as a burning heat ran through his veins. For the first time ever, he finally felt what it was like to get burned. His body seized and he went to his knees.
