The Demigod Games - Setting Fire to Water

Chapter 15

"Zak!" I cried, overjoyed he was ok.

"You left." He says quietly.

"Z-Zak you know why I left." I argued.

"Quinnlen died because you weren't there." He accused.

"what?" I ask.

"Phoebe came looking for you! SHE WANTED TO KILL YOU! QUINNLEN DIED BECAUSE YOU LEFT!" He shouted.

"I WOULD DIE 100 TIMES FOR HER ZAK! IF I COULD TAKE HER PLACE I WOULD!" I scream, tears flooded my eyes.

"I killed Icarus because I wanted you to win. I still love you Knives." He whispers.

"I love you too Arrow Boy." I say.

"If you love me, kill me. Go home." He says.

"No you have to win!" I plead.

"Donnor And Quinnlen would both want you to win. Did you see how Quinnlen looked at you? You were her hero Gianna, she wants you to win." He says.

"No...you need to." I say quietly.

Before I can say otherwise, he grabs a knife and brings it to his throat. "I love you Knives." He says.

"Zak No! I can't lose you too!" I cry.

He winks at me before moving the knife and falling backwards.

"NO!" I scream, rushing to his side.

I see him smile at me, "You won knifes.." he eyes closed and I screamed in fury.

"ZAK!" I screamed over and over again, tears streamed down my face as people pulled my on a hovercraft. I was sedated soon after..

I won, I watched the highlights, I went home. As soon as I did, mom had the baby. We named her Quinnlen. My life was empty, horrid flashbacks filled my brain in conusisness and asleep. My life was living Tartarus, nothing can scar me anymore. I'm already shattered.

How'd mom and dad survive these wild games of survival?

I'm broken, shattered, scarred. I'm a mentally Avox, I don't talk ever. I stutter the occasional 'Donnor' or 'Zak' sometimes even an actual relevant word like 'Okay' But I barley speak, I barley eat, I barley sleep. I'm twisted so much that I am...well there's not even a word.

People send me pity looks when I go to the market, I visit Midas often since he's my only friend left other then Travis. The games broke me. The gods won.

I'm just a broken girl in a world full of horrors that I can't stop....
