The Forbidden Four

VII

"I'm not joining your army. Honestly, when will you people learn. We always win. You'll do what? March into our camp and wreak havoc? Yeah, good luck with that." Cameron snarled

"We have the goddess Nyx with us! She'll destroy all of you! She'll complete Gaia's pitiful plan, but of course, Nyx is smarter and better. The goddess isn't going to kill people, she's going to capture them and train them and-"

"Make them her minions. And let me guess, you're going to take in all demigods and leave the Gods no one to help them so that means they'll have to fight you people themselves and blah blah blah." Cameron said
"You're infuriating." Ayesha scuffed. "If you don't join willingly, brother, I'm going to keep you and your friends hostages. Then later call my siblings to help me deliver you to the goddess."

Cameron was gonna say another smart comeback when he heard Ashley whimpering. "Wh-where are we? Jen? Cam?" She whispered weakly. She tried to stand up, but fell back down. "Ash!" Cam shouted. "I-I can't move." Ashley muttered

"Remove the spell, Ayesha" Cameron growled. "Why don't you do that yourself?" Ayesha replied.
"Fine." He growled

A fiery red aura spread around Cameron's body.  The air in the vast room became hotter.

"Wh-what are you doing?! You're weak. You're gonna kill yourself." Ayesha stammered. "As if you care." Cameron said through gritted teeth.

In his fist, a fire ball has formed. He threw the ball towards Ayesha, but she dodged it.

"Stop this!" She yelled. Ball after ball of fire followed, but Ayesha managed to dodge them.

From his jacket, Cameron pulled out a card. There was a drawing of a rope on it, he muttered some words and the rope left the card and appeared in his hand.

The rope was made of fire. Cam tried catching Ayesha using the fiery rope, and he succeeded.

Behind him, Ashley was half-concious. She was stirring, trying to move and help Cameron. Her vision was blurry, her limbs and throat hurt.

She saw Cameron sourounded by fire, Ayesha in front of him screaming in pain as a rope of fire tied her hands together.

"Oh gods....Cameron what did you do?..." she muttered. She knew she had to stop him. Last time Cameron looked like this.....no she won't let it happen again.

"Cam!" She called, but her voice came out weak. "Cameron! Shit!" She tried again, this time a little louder, but not enough for him to hear. She took a deep breath and tried again. "Cameron! Please, stop!" She yelled.

The fire around him died immediately, so did the fire of the ropes. Ayesha laid on the floor, unconscious.  

Cameron looked around him, then at his hands, then at his friends lying on the floor.

"Ash? You okay?" He walked over to her. He tried pulling her towards him, but she backed off away from him. "Ashley?" He asked surprised. "Wait....wh-why are you crying."

"Y-You....fire...it- it happened again. I called you, but you didn't hear me." Ash sobbed. "Jennifer wake the fuck up!!!" Ashley yelled out of frustration. "Wai....who...what?!" Jen yelled sitting up. "Gods...why is so hot in here what happened? Wait...why are you crying? And why is she lying like that over there? Wait....who is she?" No one answered.

"Guys? An explanation?" Jen asked again. Ashley gave her a look that said I'll tell you everything later. So Jen chose to ignore what happened for now. She stood up and walked over to Ayesha. "Who is she?"

"Her name is Ayesha. She's a daughter of Hecate." Cam said. Jen knew he was trying not cry, too.  Ashley stood up and helped Cam up. "C'mon." She said, grabbing his hands. "B-but .." he stammered looking at her. "Not a word." She said.
