The Gray Olympian

Alone With a Witch

I woke up in a cold sweat After the usual Demigod dreams, mostly of my past. I feel an arm pull me closer to the person lying groggily next to me. "what's wrong," Wanda asked slightly slurred, her accent poking out a little. She opened her green eyes, her umber hair splayed out across the pillows. Her face was barely illuminated by the slight streams of moonlight that escaped through the blowing curtains over my open window.  

"Nothing," I Answer after I steadied my voice. 

"Thats clearly a lie," she said propping her self up on her elbows. "Another nightmare?," I pulled my knees in to my chest and burry my head in my knees. I gave a muffled answer but Wanda understood. "You wanna talk about it this time." 

I sighed and decided to give her a simplified answer. "I saw a few of my friends dye when we were young, and I mean young like twelve to twenty-two. I was reliving their deaths." I tell her tears slipped down her cheeks. 

"was one of them named Luke" I looked over at her with wide eyes. "You talk in your sleep. you mostly just mumble names," my inner panic ceased. 

"Wanda, do you still grieve over your brother?" I asked. 

"All the time," she admitted. "Your still grieving?," I nod. "It's okay, you can grieve no matter how long ago it was. I will grieve my brother for the rest of my life. We just can't let that get in the way of living, we can't let our past stop our future." I press myself against her side. Burying my face very close to her chest. She wrapped her arms around me. "Lets go back to sleep, if you have another nightmare I'll be here for you." 

I snuggle into her "mkay," I whisper. "Night Wanda." 

"Goodnight, Addie." 

~~morning~~

I wake up snuggled into Wanda. As the sunlight hits my face. I look up and see Wanda Still asleep. "Damn it Apollo" I groan. 

"Addison, Sir would like to know if you would like to go out with the Avengers and Peter today." F.R.I.D.A.Y asked.  

"Tell him I said no I want to relax" I said a Wanda woke up slowly. 

"Ms. Maximoff you were asked the same Question" 

"No for the same reason. There's no peace in this house." Me and Wanda slept for another hour then  woke up around nine. I opened my eyes and saw Wanda looking down at me. "Good morning." 

"Morning" I greeted. "Want breakfast the guys aren't here to eat it all." 

Her face lit up and she nodded. We got out of bed not even bothering to change and just wet down to make and eat breakfast. "you are the only one who can cook in this damn compound. I mean Steve and Vison can but your better" 

"I dont imagine superheroes have a lot of time to learn to cook" I tried to defend. 

"You'd be surprised we're only called for crazy serious problems. remember the fight in sakovia," tilt my head in confusion. "what about the aliens in Manhattan," I shake my head. "How can you know us but not what we do." 

"Its a very long tired scary story, that I'd rather not remember." if I could forget I would have along time ago but I am a warrior thats all I'll ever be. I was never meant for more.  Wanda  doesn't help much with the whole nothing else thing, she treats me like a friend like she really cares. I thought now was a good time to change the subject "Hey you have your license right" she nodded. "Wanna drive me to pick up peter and his friends. I dont have a license to drive a car." 

"Sure Peter is awesome" we pretty much just watch movies till we had to change. We took one of Tony's expensive cars so we could flaunt it to that bully.

I asked okay. We took them home and in peters case the compound. Tony made us put the car back so we walked to central park and just hung out there.

We were joking around and eating ice cream when i felt like something was wrong. I sit stone still. "Addie" i reach behind my head and caught an arrow coated with nightshade.

Wandas eyes widened. I guess she saw that. "πραγματικά δεν μπορώ να έχω ειρήνη" (really i cant have any peace) i shout.

I look behind me and see a small drakon (spelling?) At least this wont be hard. I was able to quickly get rid of it but i have a feeling that wont be my last encounter on this trip.

"Lets go quickly before theres more" i said grabbing Wanda's hand and running faster the humanly possible to the compound.

"What...how...huh?" Wanda stuttered. I had my guard up now thats not good. I have a really bad feeling.

"I'll elaborate when we get up stairs" I tell her. I skip over the avengers common room and just push the button to our floor and i rush us in to my room. I go in to the bathroom not even bothering to close the door and make a rainbow and call artemis and my mother who thankfully were together at the moment.

"Mother" i bowed to her.

"Addison whats wrong" mother asked.

"I thought You were covering me from monsters" Wanda tried to move closer but I gave her a look to stay put.

"I did nothing could have found you."

"Might wanna tell the drakon that attacked. I central park. Artemis might want to warn your hunters or at least Thalia." She jumped up to do just that.

My mother looked stunded. "Impossible, I'll have to check with the council and the campers to see if it was just a slip up. Keep your guard up. Remember your a," 

"Warrior" we said together. "Yes mother." i cut the connection and turned to a confused and slightly scared Wanda. "You might wanna sit down this is a long story." 

She sat on the bed with me and i told her everything From the very beginning to the very end.
