The Assassins (#2)

Chapter 4: The Assassins

"Follow me to my attic. Pick whatever you want." Grandpa Tommy said.

"Are there any bricks? Cement?" Ametrite asked.

"Everything." Grandpa nodded. We followed him to the attic. I gasped. The attic is big. Uncle Tommy is right; he has almost everything we need. Bricks, cement, wood, hammers, nails, swords, bows, arrows of mamy kinds. We carried all the bricks and moistened the cement, and got to work.

By early evening, we stood back and admired the work we finished. We built three dorms, one for 'people who have many powers', another for 'only one power', and the last one was for 'people who can only shapeshift into one animal.' We high-fived, happy and proud that we finished building it. Uncle Tommy has also used ancient magic to make our border around the campus. The invisible yet sturdy wall reflected tiny specks of light into our campus, setting a warm glow around it.

But we haven't done the inside.

Wilson and Jade went to collect some wood, and I lit up a match to spark the wood. I went back to sit beside Lyte, and she sat closer to me, and leaned her head on my shoulder. Grandpa sat in the middle of Jade and Wilson, and said, "Tonight, we celebrate by singing some songs! Everybody clap with me! Which song do you want to sing?"

"See you again! By Fast and Furious 7!" Travis said, grinning.

"That, I don't know how to sing. Someone start the song? I'll clap along. Hey....that rhymes!" Grandpa Tommy chuckled. Everyone laughed.

Thalia cleared her throat and said, "I'll start it," and she began. We clapped along with the rythem. When she began the rapping part, we cheered and let out a loud,"Woooo!!!" She smiled, but continued singing. When she finished, everyone clapped, praising her for her beautiful voice and a talent of singing. Jason leaned and kissed her on the cheek, resulting more and louder claps. Loudest? Grandpa Tommy.

We sang along till night came. Everyone was hungry, so Uncle Tommy gave each of us a plate of a small portion of chicken, some vegetables and a small bowl of soup. I ate hungrily, that was until I realised that I was very hungry. We went into Uncle Tommy's house and washed up, but his house didn't have enough space to sleep. So he provided us with tents. How many? Eight. How many of us? Sixteen.

Crap! Lyte thought, watching everyone enter the tents, until there was left Lyte - and Percy.

Shit, shit, shit! Lyte screamed in her heart.

"Holy crap. No way I'm going in there." Lyte growled. "I'm sleeping outside."

I shrugged.

"Suit yourself." And i went in the tent. She looked around. Lyte shuddered. She never liked insects. She grumbled and went into the tent.

The outside of the tent looked small, but inside was huge. It had a table, a small lamp placed on top of it, some blankets and two pillows. Lyte grabbed one and slept far away from me.

Lyte doesn't mind sleeping with a girl. She always sleep alone. But with a boy?

That's way too far. But i laid my blanket beside her, and slept on it.

Okay, he's close. She thought. Lyte squirmed away from him, mumbling, "Stay away from me. Thank you for your understanding." When Lyte was about to move away from me, I stretched out my arm and seized her waist. She gasped, her heart almost came out from her throat. I pulled her closer. She didn't dare to look at my eyes. With her back facing me, she shut her eyes tight. But i turned her around. She shut them tighter. I put my hand on her jaw, and she opened her eyes. Lyte stared at my eyes, admiring them.

□Lyte□
I stared at his sea-green eyes. They  are so breathtaking under the dim light. His eyes are warm, gentle yet a little mischievous. He smirked. My heart fluttered wildly.

Dang, he have to stop doing that or else I'll explode, i thought.

"Is my princess thinking about me?" He grinned.

"I-I did-not!" Lyte stammered, blushing.

"Ouhh....she is! My princess is so cute when she blushes!" My face flared. He used his thumb and rubbed it against my cheek softly. I avoided his gaze, my face as red as a tomato.

"Aww.....princess likes me, doesn't she?" He joked, laughing. His chest vibrated, causing my chest to vibrate too. He brought me closer, chest against chest. He tilted his head, and locked his pink, soft lips against mine. His strong arm brought me closer, deepening the kiss. Warmth spread through my whole body. A tingling sensation filled my while body.

Get away from him! My thoughts screamed. I tried my best to wriggle away, but he held on to me tighter. He bit my bottom lip softly, and I couldn't help but shiver slightly. I rung my arms on his neck, and favouring the moment. We pulled away, gasping for air.

Before i knew it, he did it again, more passionately this time.
