Chapter 16

Clay's PoV

"So? Start. We haven't got all day you know" Percy was impatient.

I could understand it. Even with us being as close as we are, this is one thing he didn't know about. This is also the thing that I'm most ashamed of, and buried it all those years ago.

"So you remember me in highschool Perce? 9th grade to be specific." I started telling the story nervously, memories of those days still embedded in me, flashbacks taking me back to those memories every time I closed my eyes.

"You were an annoying fucktard back then. The whole "I'm a jock with a reputation" attitude made me want to smother you in your sleep." Percy chuckled.

"Well.. uhh yeah so... Nix was in the same school as me too. The same grade, the nearly the same classes." I continued.

"Well it's like, he was quite, never said anything, just read, played games on his game boy or NDS, and drew. He wasn't like anyone else. He didn't care about the fame and the pecking order of highschool or the cliques. He just avoided all that and somehow was friends with everyone. Which unfortunately for him, pissed me off. He didn't care for anything yet he got everything. Or so it seemed to me at the time I suppose."

*Time Lapse*

*Nix's PoV.

I landed way past the mountain stronghold(a defense mechanism somewhat), which was high up in the Sol Bella mountain range. I breathe in a big gulp of the fresh mountain air, drinking in the scenario. The day had turned into night.

I admit, I was still troubled. Everytime I closed my eyes, it come back in a flash. My brain was haywire. My worse memories, the ones that I've tried so hard to forget, had come back and it was hard is understatement.

I changed my armour and weapon to my normal ones, feeling the familiar swords at my side somewhat calmed me down. I got out of the clearing onto the narrow dirt road, leading to the stronghold.

The stronghold was one open to everyone. In exchange for any discoveries they've made, visitors can stay for however long they want. Of course this worked well since the stronghold is high up in a mountain and the only visitors we receive are mainly adventurers, hunters, map makers, miners, etc etc. The Stronghold is run by one of our member and his guild The Federation. It's a small guild with around a 1000 members.

It's advantageous to us since we get so many information we wouldn't have found or even thought about. Mostly because most of these discoveries are accidental. It involves a lot of running, falling down into underground tunnels, setting off portals, accidental blasts, someone accidentally eating things (happens from time to time XD).

As I neared the stronghold lost in my own thoughts, I heard a loud bang and saw someone literally flying towards me.

Can't this day get any shittier. Not another fight. Not that I don't mind just don't really feel like it you know.

*kid you don't have to if you don't want to you know. Whatever it is they can handle it*

*I'm fine Rouge.*

*you forget we share a body Nix*

*whatever*

I jumped up catching guy, landing in awkwardly, skidding a bit. I steadied myself before releasing the person in my arms.

"What happened are you ok?" I asked

"Mountain Trolls and Giants are... attacking. The defenses are barely holding. Shit my health. Sav.." the man broke into tiny particles in my hands.

*Well Rouge, its time for another fight. Lets go*

I'm so sorry guys I know it's been a loooooong looong time since I updated.. this chapter, I've re written a billion times (not actually billion but you get what I mean).
It's been super hard and stuff and a lot of stuff happened in my private life and I wanted this chapter to be longer but then I think I just need to get over this one chapter and then maybe the next one won't be one where I'll get stuck for moths..

Again,sorry..an hope it's better
