Demigods and Family (Mianite)

XXV - Hector

25 - It's Hector not Hektor

Dinner was a wonderful thing, of course. It was filled with sudden silence and there's ordinary food. Of course, there's one thing I've noticed. Tom is giving my brother, the evil eye.

Of course, once word got around through the secret pipes; Tom hated Matthew for the rest of the day. Matt-- well he prefered the name Nade, I don't even know how he got the name Nade. It wasn't his middle name, as in like Tom's middle name. Which was Cyndikaeke; but it was close to Syndicate; and I know a bit about his blood lines. So it kind of fits actually, 'Syn'.

I always picked the same dish as Sonja's, the one without the drenched gravy and beef. More of a honey and whipped cream with sweet fruits with a side of Pasta, Salmon Fillets, and Tea. I enjoy it, but the others; they hate it. I'm pretty sure that Sonja forced this dish, and made Declan choose another option. But I knew they hated the term 'new', they hated changes. Which is probably why their aura is so bland and plain.

I've noticed that there was a bit more honey than usual in the past 2 days, I was fine with it. I love honey with strawberries, the honey tasted the same plain honey. I hoped whoever decided to give me more honey suffered through it, that being it was Tom who was in Kitchen Duties in the past week. I bet he messed with Nade's food, just so he can get back at him for embarrassing him in front of the Nov-Jordan. Speaking of which, Josh and Champ should be awake by now.

I watched as Josh and Champ walks toward the table and take their rightful seats. I watched as Josh kept a close eye on my brother, what is he even doing? Is he like stalking my brother, or some shit? Ew, some type of stupid crush. Speaking of which, I can't wait to make fun of Tom later.

But something was different for the past days, instead of the 'regular' pee. My pee was a darker colour, maybe something was wrong with the water. I haven't heard any of the others complaining about their pee being a different colour, but I haven't been here for a long while. Maybe they'll just used to these different changes that sometimes happen. If it has been the water, it would explain the constant vomiting I have been experiencing since yesterday. But I have heard Matthew puking his minds out as well. Maybe our stomachs are weak to the waters here and we're not exactly used to the changes in the water. Also, lately I was feeling dehydrated since the break out. Which caused me to drink more water, and which ends with the dark pee-- it's an endless cycle for the past 2 days. I was feeling a bit vertigo, along with the dehydration. Maybe it's a symptom of dehydration, I don't know. Declan haven't taught me much in the lessons. Mostly about the 'gods' and how grateful we should be to survive the trails. It's total bullshit.

The silent dinner was nice, until Declan thought it was a good idea to bring up some conversation.

"Has the water problem fixed yet?" Declan brought up, which basically helped with my suspicions correctly. I just took a spoonful of honey, tasting it. It tasted like it was supposed to, but it had a strange taste. It was a slight bitter taste, like copper or blood.

"Does water problems include having a darker colour of pee?" I brought up, ignoring the glaring look coming from Tom's way.

"Aren't you a fucking genius? No, I'm pretty sure it doesn't, Hybrid." Tom answered, he moved his glare to the burning flames of Nade's direction.

"And aren't you a cup of sunshine, Anne."

"And aren't you an unfavourited child."

"Because you already gotten that title." I clapped back, resulting in silence from the other. There was a sudden silence, and it was that moment I felt great about myself-- until the agony pain started to my side of my ribs. I didn't do much to the reaction, until I saw my brother started to choke on something. My vision started to see tiny stars, but that wasn't important. The focus was on Matthew.

His face swelled up, and the pigment started to change from his light tan to a sickly green and then a light pale white colour. His eyes were bloodshot, his coughs started to be more deadly sounding. Like each cough, started to sound worse and dry-sounding than the other. His breathing was irregular, like he just finished a marathon.

Josh quickly stood up and ran over to Matthew's side. Quickly trying to help Matthew from his misery, Sonja and Tucker helped. As Declan started to shout orders at all of us, trying to get us to correctly save my brothers' life. I wanted to help, but I couldn't. My vision started to become droopy, and I felt like I was going to vomit again. My insides start to feel cold and icy, but I was sweating at the same time. My irregular breaths were quiet, and I felt like I was going to pass. The dizziness were so bad, that I wanted to kill myself because of it. It felt like a hammer smashing the inside of my heads, I saw Tony's concerned in me. I shook my head toward him and tried to look toward Matthew's direction. But I couldn't. Everything felt slow-motion. And I hear my heartbeat, it was pounding against my ears. Are they suppose to be that loud? They were so irregular and quickly that I couldn't count them. I can't put myself as number one right now, my brother is going to di---.

My breathing started to slow, but the beating of my heart were louder. My skin pigment started to go bland, as I watch it go into black and white-- or was that just my regular colours. I couldn't tell because I can hardly hear my heart anymore. That was until I hear nothin----.
