Lucas
Lily: "Lucas"
Lucas: "Leave me alone..."
I tried walking faster, but she just hovered over me.
Lily: "We can't split up right now, who knows when the Amazons will strike"
I stopped.
Lucas: "They don't get it..."
Lily: "About Lucy?"
Lucas: "I've told everyone that she should just be left in the Human world. She's not strong enough to survive in our world. We're always taking care of her and bailing her out of trouble. It's only a matter of time..."
Lily: "She's stronger than you give her credit for"
Lucas: "But she's not strong enough for this world"
Lily: "You're not really talking about her, are you?"
I avoided eye contact and looked down at the ground.
Lucas: "I... I'm talking about myself..."
Lily: "What do you mean?"
Lucas: "She's my little sister... it's my job as her brother to keep her safe. Mom asked me to watch over her and make sure she came back alive... But in the end... I wasn't strong enough... I failed her..."
She lowered until we were face to face.
Lily: "No, Lucas, you didn't fail anyone"
Lucas: "Yes I did...!! I wasn't strong enough to fight off Seth!! I wasn't strong enough to keep Lucy safe!!! I-I wasn't fucking strong enough to save Aunt Emiko!!!!"
Lily suddenly wrapped her arms around me and pushed my face into her chest.
Lily: "It's not your fault..."
Tears ran down my face.
Lucas: "I... I-I feel so worthless...!! I'm a fucking failure...!!!"
Lily rubbed the back of my head.
Lily: "None of that is true. You did everything you could, but you need to realize that you're still young. What happened to Emiko was something that was caused by her own actions at your age. It was going to happen one way or another. As for Lucy, all of us could've stayed and gotten her through the portal first, any of us could've waited those few seconds, but we didn't. The blame for losing her is on all of us. So please... don't let it burden you"
I hated crying, especially in front of others. But somehow, I felt safe with Lily. It was a feeling I wasn't used to. I was always alone, being a descendant of Hades, but Lily didn't care.
I cried into her as she held me, whispering comforting things into my ear.
That's when we heard Idril scream out.
Idril: "Lucas!!! Lily!!!! Anyone!!!!"
We saw her run around the corner of a building. She tripped and fell onto the hard concrete.
Lucas: "Idril!!"
I quickly ran over.
Idril: "T-They're here...!!"
Before I could react, Lily appeared in front of me and blocked a powerful punch by catching it.
The person smirked.
???: "Damn, guess you're her then"
She was a black girl with long blonde hair with pink highlights that was tied into two large twin tails. Her pink eyes were sharp like an animal. She wore a short hot pink hoodie that she left unzipped, revealing her white sports bra underneath. She wore a hot pink skirt with a black bow on it. She had fishnet leggings as well as hot pink heels. She had a pair of thin circle glasses on her face. The oddest thing about her was the wolf ears coming out of her head and the wolf tail coming out by her lower back.
