Nightly Flight -Fem Percy-

Ch.4

I would be fine fighting just the empousa   and the hellhounds but Arai NO WAY! I've had my fair share of curses from them.

I was getting ready to sprint away when NightWing did the most idiotic thing, he charged at them.

Time seem to slow down as I began to think. I could run off save myself, or I could save NightWing by getting myself cursed.

I like idea no.1.

I turned around one last time to see him fixing to be slashed by a empousa.

I started to run, not away, but head on at the empousa.

I know, I know stupid ol'me Percy Jackson always running head on into danger. But I couldn't just leave him to die.

I saw NightWing turn around to defeat a hellhound when he saw me running straight into battle.

I pulled out riptide from my pocket.

NightWing activated a smoke pellet, when all of the monsters had there attention drawn to the source of the smoke he ran over to me.

"What are you you doing? You need to run for safety!" He said arguably loud.
"I'm fine! And I think the smoke is dissipating!"

As soon as I said it Kelli the empousa looked at me and said, "Well what do we have here! Look Tammi it's Percy Jackson."
"Ooo. And she has a little friend too! He can watch her die!" Tammi stated.

As soon as Tammi said die NightWings worry for me turned to anger towards Tammi.

Kelli lunged at me making sure it was unexpected. I stepped back, but not far enough as her talons made a deep gnash in my flesh.

I uncapped riptide watching it turn into a three foot long sword.
NightWing's eyes showed a tinge of amazement and curiosity.

I stepped up to her in a battle stance and ran her through with my sword turning her into gold powder.

NightWing took care of the other empousa by throwing her against a tree killing her instantly.

There were about four more hellhounds and about ten arai.

"Your bleeding!" NightWing said with caution and worry pouring off of his words.

"I'll be fine." But I wasn't, I was already feeling quite lightheaded.
There was only one thing to do, we had to find a way to escape.

There were two things that came to my mind, running or a much more exhausting thing, vapor traveling.

If it was just me and I wasn't injured I would of been fine.
Two people was a little harder.
Injured with two people, close to impossible.

"NightWing, get ready."
"Ready for what?"
"As soon as they pounce grab my hand."
He didn't have time to say much after that because after a second they pounced.

I felt myself turn into water, I didn't know where to go but I just imagined somewhere safe that was as far as I could go.

When I opened my eyes I immediately collapsed. I felt wet dirt underneath me and I knew we were by a water source.

NightWing fell out of his shock and saw me laying in the ground.
His expression turned from scarred to relief and then to horror.

"Come on Percy! Stay with me."

I tried to keep my eyes open but I knew I had lost too much blood.

That was the last thing I heard before I blacked out.
