Silenced (Demigod Story)

Healing a Stranger

“Whatever Honey,” she started flirting with Dan, showing off how low her dress could go.  I started gagging on air so much that I just had to leave.

I went to the high grasses of a horse meadow that we were walking past.  I jumped the fence and was startled when I heard the flapping of wings.  I saw Octavian fly above me with a girl in his arms.  She looked limp, possibly dead.  She had poofy blonde hair that reminded me of popcorn.  She must be Cali, judging from the way that he holds her in his arms as if she was his own life.

 “Oh, so this is normal for you?  To kill girls and all?” I smirked, gesturing to the dead girl.

“I’m not dead!” Cali muttered.  “I’ve just been impaled!”

I chuckled.  “Olaf.”

“I’m guessing that stabbing is humorous to you…” Octavian lifted an eyebrow as he landed.

Death and blood disgusted me beyond all means.  For someone to say that I find that funny is very offensive.  “Well, I wouldn’t be talking if I were you,” I spat.  I remembered that I was not like that, it was just that girl over there that decided to come into my life and take away the one person who cared about me.  “Where are you taking her?”

“To Camp Halfblood.  She’ll be safer there.  Oh, and a psychopath named James is back there.  He’s been ‘impaled’ several times by my friend here,” Octavian smirked.  Cali rolled her eyes.

“Olaf,” I laughed silently.  “Wait a moment.”

“Why?” Octavian questioned.

I ignored him as I ran over to were Dan and Chloe were to find them making out.  I turned my head, allowing a tear to run down my cheek as I went through Dan’s bag.  I took out a healing remedy book and flipped to the page of where it had instructions on how to clean and heal a wound.

I then ran behind a large bush to grow the plants I needed.  The first one was an Australian herb, but looked more like a maple tree, but in bush form.  It was used for cleaning and it was called the mundi bush.  The second one was like desert seaweed.  It was called a sana.  I walked from a bush to make it look like I was there the whole time.

“What are those?” Cali eyed the plants, thinking that I might be poisoning her possibly.

“I have no idea,” I said so I didn’t have to try to pronounce the plant name.  “But I know that they will clean and help heal.  Where is the wound?”

“Here,” Cali pointed to her side.  The wound was a deep purple, she didn’t know it, but it was poisoned.  I tried to distract her as I would get the poison out.

“Do you have a bandage or something that will keep it in place?” I asked for a distraction.

“Yeah, Octavian look in my bag please,” Cali lazily stated.  I quickly got the poison out with a leaf in a way so it looked like I was cleaning out her wound, which I was.
