Forgive, But Not Forget

Chapter 7

Original: 5/10/15
Edit: 8/23/19 (tell me if I missed any spelling mistakes or stuff with wrong grammar!)
Edit: 10/15/19. Turns out that I forgot to write what happened with the spear. Thanks JoeLane0! I sure hope my added writing doesn't look too different from the writing style of the rest of the chapter. I did my best to match it. (I admit... it was a bit fun writing it *cough*)

Dam, forgot the disclaimer at the last two chapters...

Disclaimer: Rights go to Rick. I only own the plot and the OCs. Monsters, gods, and other mythological figures come from greek myths which Rick Riordan had borrowed, and I in turn, did too.

"Alright guys, see you on monday!" Em said as she waved at us.

"Bye!"

She closed the door, leaving us outside in the light of the moon.

I stretched, yawning. Ken rubbed his eyes while Zach walked to his car.

"You sure you guys don't want a ride?" Zach asked uncertainly, gesturing to his car.

Kenny put his arm around me. "Naw, it's alright. We only live a few blocks from here," He said, before turning to me. "Besides, a little late night walk sounds nice."

I smiled back at him. Gosh, I love him so much.

We started walking to the gates as Zach started his car. It's close to eleven o'clock and we have watched at least two movies. Also, we ate a lot of sweets. We let Zach's car out of the gates first before we did.

We fell into a comfortable silence as we walked down the road, his arm around me. The round moon is at the star-filled sky, and the wind is blowing softly. All in all, a perfect romantic walk.

We stayed silent, just enjoying each other's presence. We went through the first block.

"So," Ken said softly, "My parents aren't gonna be home tonight. Why don't we hang out?"

I raised my eyebrows playfully. "Is that why you wanted to walk?"

"Hmm, I dunno. Maybe because I want to kidnap a pretty lady like you and murder her?" He said thoughtfuly. Although you can hear in his voice that he was joking.

I laughed and hit his shoulder lightly. "Oh, shut up."

He grinned and opened his mouth to say something, when we heared a clatter in an alley to our right. We turned our heads to see what had made the noise. I was clutching Ken's arm tightly.

He shrugged. "Oh, come on scaredy cat. It's just another cat."

"I'm not a cat!" I pouted.

"Hm. Thats weird. I remember you have five cat stuffed toys that you sleep with, you have two cats and three kittens at your home, you have a cat keychain on your bag, your notebooks have cat stickers, aaaannd you are wearing a t-shirt with a cate face on it."

Then he added. "And it says 'I am a cat'."

I blushed in embarresment, but also happy that he knows me so well. "It's only a t-shirt..." I grumbled playfully.

He laughed and pulled me closer.

We stopped when we heared a noise behind us, like something long and scaley slithering on the ground. We turned around and I clutched his arm even more tightly.

There in front us is a wierd snake-woman. She has two snake bodies for legs and blood red eyes. She bared her snake-like fangs and I saw her forked tougue. She is clutching a spear in her right hand. We were frozen in fear, my heart beating wildly.
