DEMIGODS: Within The Myths (New Version)

Chapter 22: Crystalline Sword (New Version)

ICE.

THAT WAS CLOSE.

"Shit!"

I winced when my lower body kissed the ground, aside from that a cold liquid was dripping down from my head. May nahulog pang whipping cream sa ulo ko. Putangina.

HOLY STYX.

HOLY STYX.

HOLY STYX.

Nang may maramdaman ko na may lumuhod sa harap ko at pinunasan ang basang ulo ko ay inangat ko ang paningin ko. He was looking languidly at me as he wipe the iced coffee on my head.

"Next time don't space out while walking other than you look so stupid earlier someone might think that you're mentally ill," Rave said.

I sheepishly looked at him. I was preoccupied with the thought that I met Serena and Sue here, in the Mortal World. They shouldn't be here. "My house is near here. Come with me."

I blankly looked at me and covered my breast. All of a sudden he smirked with his face an inch away from my face, "Not my type,"

Bigla na lamang tinapon sa 'kin ang suot niyang black leather jacket. "You're breast is inviting the people," my eyes widened and immediately put on the jacket.

Tinulungan niya ako upang makatayo. Nauna siya naglakad habang mayabang na nakapamulsa at ako ay nanatiling nakasunod sa likod niya. Just by looking at him, I can easily tell that he loves black. From head to toe, he was wearing black outfit.

And with that facade, he looks cool and mysterious at the same time.

We stopped in front of a two-story house. It was painted in beige. May kinalkal si Rave sa gilid ng halaman malapit sa pinto saka niya kinuha ang isang susi na nakatago roon.

He opened the door and a simple living room welcomed us.

"The bathroom is that way. I'll just borrow some of my mother's clothes." He said as he pointed the door from the side.

Should I ask him?

"What?" he asked.

"Undergarments," I said and avoided his eyes.

"Ah, meron?" He joked. I squinted my eyes and the softly laughed that made me stunned, "Just kidding,"

He gently pushed me to the bathroom's direction. I can smell the scent of coffee in my body. I was in the middle of washing my body when I heard a knock outside, "Hey, Reina! The clothes are here."

"Thank you!"

Nang matapos ako maligo ay agad kong binalot ang sarili ko sa isang puting tuwalya at mabilis na binuksan ang pinto upang kuhanin ang damit na iniwan ni Rave. Isang black na t-shirt at maong shorts. At hindi pa bukas na undergarments.

"Are you sure this is not yours?" I asked Rave.

"The shirt is mine, the others aren't." He said.

I sat beside him and noticed that he was watching a children's—Just like what Kyle said. He was seriously watching Gnome and Juliet, a story of garden gnomes.

"Hey, Reina. Do you believe in love at first sight?" Even though the rain coming from outside was loud. I am sure that I heard his question clearly.

"No."

"Why?" He asked.

"I think it shouldn't be love instead it should be infatuation at first sight."
