The Shadow Assassin

Chapter Three

"This is the armory. If you want we could pick out your weapon?" Ian asked.

I didn't reply I ran in the door.

I heard him chuckle then walk in behind me.

"These are the Daggers, these swords, spears, and bow and arrow." Ian said pointing to each section.

I walk up to the bow and arrows. Not seeing any thing I fancied, I walked away. I walked up to the daggers something caught my eye.

"Ian," I said with my British accent.

"Yes."

"What's that?" I said pointing at a bracelet that turned into a ring with rhinestones on it.
I reached out to pick it up.

"Don't touch that!" He shouted and pulled my hand away.

"Why not?"

"Hera cursed it when Mackenzie died. Hera loved her like she was her own daughter. It was Mackenzie's bow." He said quickly pulling me away.

"What happens if someone touches it?" I ask curiously.

"They feel as if they are being shot and zapped by millions of arrows and lightning bolts."

"Oh."

He grabs a dagger on the way out and hands it to me.

"Training with my brother would be better but you're stuck with me," he said chuckling.

I tune him out when I heard a voice say in my head," Go take the bracelet. It only hurts people not directly related to me."

I nodded. I looked at Ian and sprinted towards the armory.

"Alex Stop!!" He shouted running after me. But I was to fast.

I sprinted inside and grabbed the bracelet then slipped it on.

The rhinestones began shining, brightly. I felt a stinging on the back of my neck and hand. I opened my palm only to see a howling wolf.

That wasn't the weirdest part. The wolf moved looking up as if looking for something.

"Alex!" Ian shouted as he walked in.

He looked both shocked and anger to see me. He grabbed me, but he ended up flying across the room.

Percy walks in the armory, looking very confused.

"What was all that noise?" He asked.

I pointed at his brother, but he stared at my bracelet.

"Perce?"

"Shut up, Ian. We need to get you to the Big House." He says first looking at Ian and then me.

I walked outside sending an apologetic look towards Ian.

"Percy what's happening?" I asked quietly.

"When Kenzie first got here she found a really pretty bracelet in the big house. But it was curse by Kronos, only the strongest children of Zeus could withstand the curse and use the weapon for good. When she first put it on something happened, a eagle appeared on her hand. Not only was it strange but it also moved as if looking for something." Percy pause looking at my hand. "Only when a god or goddess is heartbroken is when they're able to double curse an object. So, the bracelet you're wearing not only has Hera's curse but also Kronos'. So that makes you very powerful. To be able to withstand both." Percy finishes.

I looked at him in awe.
"Wait, when I got this wolf on my hand, I also felt a searing pain on the back of my neck." I told him.

He stopped walking and moved my hair away from my neck. He quietly gasped.

"What?"

"You have a tattoo on your neck that has an eagle, and a name."

"Who's name?"

"Mackenzie's."
