Olympian Blood

Chapter 44

Artemis POV
By the time we made it to the cells that would be holding Nancy the paralysis had worn off and we could now hear her screams as we walked down the hall to her cell.

"Snowflake slow down!" Aaron called after me as he grabbed my arm making me stop.

He backed me into the wall and put his forehead on mine as his thumb rubbed circles into my arm.

"You promised you'd take it easy. You're burning up, Doll." He said softly.

"I can't just do nothing Aaron you saw what she did to Apollo. If we were one minute later he'd be-"

"I know, I know but you saved him. We made it in time. Why don't you go and rest with him. He'd probably appreciate seeing you when he wakes up. I can do the interrogation myself you know?" He said cupping my cheek soothing away the heat coating my body.

"I know you can. But I can't do anything for Apollo I can't just sit there and wait. If this lady has information about tonight's events we need to find out. And if you don't mind I'd like to be there when you do. And besides.... it doesn't feel right leaving your side right now." I said softly.

He smiled gently.

"Okay I understand. Let's go and see what we can get out of her and then get some rest. I can stay with you tonight if you want."

I nodded my head.

He pushed my hair back and laid a kiss on my forehead making me smile.

We continued walking and now stood in front of her cell.

"Alright you're good cop, I'm bad cop got it?" I said taking a deep breath.

"Why can't I be bad cop?" He asked curiously.

"Bub I really don't have time to go down that list. Just follow my lead." With that I had the guard unlock the cell.

"You bitch! Let me go!! I need to get back!" Nancy screamed hysterically.

Her arms were chained up on either side of the walls will she sat on the ground. 

"You and I both know what's gonna happen to you if you leave these walls they'll kill you Nancy." I said walking further into the cell.

"You're better off here with us." Aaron said standing at my side.

"Bullshit! I want nothing more to do with this cursed pack!"

"Yeah well it's too bad you decided to mess with the people we care about." I walked closer to her and pulled her hair back making her look up at me making the light hit her face perfectly so I could see everything wrinkle dirt and grim on her face and the hatred in her eyes. She would never join us. Not after what she did to Apollo.

"Tell us the rouges plans." I said coldly pulling her hair tighter as she laughed through the pain.

"You're already too late. They know everything. Soon you will all bow to a new werewolf royalty. All hail Hera!" She said before closing her eyes.

She opened her mouth again only for smoke to begin coming out.

"Shit Snow!" Aaron grabbed me and dragged me out of the room and slammed the door. I looked through the window of the cell and watched as Nancy jolted on the ground. I slammed my hand on the door.

"Fuck! She's dead! She's dead and we have nothing!" I yelled beginning to pace the hall.

I turned back to Aaron who was staring at the window of the room. We could still hear her as she continued to scream as she slowly died. Looking back at Aaron it seemed like he couldn't take his eyes off of the dying witch.
