Autumn and Mike (ABANDONED [maybe start again after I get more readers...?})

Chapter Nine: Getting Whacked on the Head

A/N It's Demons by Imagine Dragons by the way.

Mike's POV: I took a shaky breath when I looked at the knife in my hands. It was the only way Autumn could stay safe. I had to kill myself. I thrust the knife into my heart, but it was as if some invisible force was preventing me.

You fool!

And that would be the demon.

Do you want to kill us both? It hissed in my mind.
Well, yeah, duh, you idiot. Why else would I be sticking that knife if my body? I replied almost casually.
How dare you call me an idiot!
Whatcha gonna do, huh? Kill me? Good! That's what I wanted to do anyway!

Despite my ranting, I was actually pretty scared. What? It's not like you wouldn't be.

I can't execute you-at least not now. But I can kill that precious girlfriend of yours. Miss Carcellan, right?

I froze. You wouldn't dare.
I would; have you forgotten who I am?
A cold-blooded killer. I sneered.

There was a rustling in the bushes behind me-the both of us. We barely had any time to turn around when wham! I blacked out.

I awoke to the sound of two voices arguing-a girl's and a guy's. I instantly recognized the girl's voice: Autumn. Though I felt too weak to get up, I managed to say a few hoarse words to let Autumn know I was here. She turned around and gave me a bear hug.

"Oww. That hurts, Cals!" Autumn/Callista laughed and said, "Baby." Will raised an eyebrow at the sight of us. "What?" I asked.

Will glanced in Autumn's direction, then turned back to me. "Well...I've been told that you guys hate each other. Not sure if that's true for you, but Autumn says she absolutely despises you."

I looked at Autumn. "I see you haven't told him about last night." She rolled her eyes, but told Will anyway. "Well, I see someone's having fun on this quest." Will teased. "Will, it's not like that!" Autumn's face turned red. "Oh, reeeaallllyyy?" Will seemed to be laughing his butt off.

"Um, anyway, can we go do something else?" Autumn pleaded. "No." Will and I responded in unison. "Meanies." She said, and left off to do something, probably reading? Dunno.

Somewhere In Olympus
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Third Person's POV: Synthius, the demon that once possessed Mike, had rounded up all his fellow monsters and planned to attack Camp Half-Blood, Skye, Alyssa, and Mike.

It's not like any of the demigods are going to die, right? That's where you're wrong. Oops. I should have said, "spoiler alert". Too late.

Anyway, our brave heroes continue on their mission, while a man wearing cowboy boots goes to a rodeo. But don't mind him, he's not a part of this story.

Just a little heads-up, the monsters attack Mike first, and Will has to go aware Camp, which leaves Calla and Mike. Who knows what trouble they're going to get into. Ha-ha.

Back In Texas
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Autumn's POV: The creatures swarmed us-Mike and I-saying, "Give us the boy!" Okay, first of all, Mike's 19, which means he's a fully-fledged adult. Second, do they know any other words? Seriously, I don't care if they threaten me, or strike up a conversation about how cute Mike looks-wait I did not say that! Ahem. But, stop saying those four annoying words.

It was hardly a battle; we hacked and swung our swords everywhere, but the monsters just seemed to disappear. Well, screw them all. Gods, I just wanted to yell out, "AT LEAST ONE OF YOU DIE ALREADY!". I just hated the freaking things.

Though it was a weird thing to say, Mike yelled out, "NUTELLA OVER THERE!" All the monsters rushed away to find their Nutella. That's just...I don't know, you're on a mission to kill two demigods, then run away at the sign of Nutella?Idiots, I say, idiots.

A few hours later, we had finally managed to build a mud hut. It had sticks as a foundation, then mud rubbed on the sticks, and pieces of dried grass put on the mud. It wasn't much, but it was something.

After we finished, I dragged myself into the hut to cook some stew while Mike ran off to get some kindling. I didn't agree at first; who knows what might happen to him, but I decided it was for the best.

Mike's POV: A few minutes later, I had found some disposed cloth and pieces of wood for our fire. I only went away because I wanted to decide whether or not to ask her a question: were we in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship like Synthius suspected? I dearly hoped so because I loved her as much as she loved Shawn.

I took a deep breath and entered our small man-made hut.

"Hey, Autumn?" I asked her. "Yeah?" She replied. "What...what are we?" Autumn turned around and looked at me puzzledly. "We're half-bloods, Mike..." I almost wanted to laugh at her stupidity. "No, I mean what are we, specifically."

She turned back to her stew and stayed quiet for a while. I just stood there awkwardly. Finally she responded, "I don't know, Mike, what do you want us to be?"

I stepped up to her and squeezed her hand. "A couple." A grin spread across Autumn's face. "Then that's what we are."

Author's Note
=============================
Yay! Autumn-or should I say Calla, which do you want me to refer to her as?-and Mike are official! They're just girlfriend and boyfriend; not married yet, FYI. But just so you know, Mike's proposing soon! Until next time,
