Percy Jackson Little Sister (Sequel To "Broken" Written by Tyler Jane Smith)

Chapter 28

Zöe:

“Dude. Have you been crying?”

I turned to see Danny, hovering at the door- hands in pockets like he couldn't care less. The only thing that ruined his calm stature was the annoyance spread all over his face.

I shot him a glare. “You're not helping.” I didn't let him reply, and instead turned away and walked over to Damien- kneeling by his side and gently prising his hands away from his side to see the damage.

I inhaled a sharp breath. The cuts were deep and the skin was tender, they'd be deep purple bruises forming if he didn't get some nectar.

I sighed, rubbing his palms with my fingers and pulling him forward a little, so that we were so close I could feel the heat of his breath. “What happened to you?” I asked, even to my own ears my voice sounded full of worry.

Damien shrugged. “I... Fell into the wall.” He mumbled, knowing it was an awful lie.

“With your fists?” Danny remarked.

I turned, about to snap at him. When Clarisse piped up.

“Come on Danny, we'll go get Damien some nectar and ambrosia.” He didn't even get a chance to protest, because Clarisse had her hands on his shoulders- steering him out the room.

I looked at Damien with sad eyes. I knew what he'd done, he'd thrashed out- and hurt himself, because I'd been so stupid to think that it was no big deal- me leaving him to go and talk to Danny.

He looked at me desperately.

“Zo, I know what I just did was stupid and reckless... But seeing you go with him, it just... It just....” I cut him off before he could finish, by pressing my lips onto his.

He was startled at first, but then he relaxed. Combing his fingers through my hair and pulling me onto his lap. We sat tangled in each other, and our kissing quickly became manic and desperate, we were breathing in each other, melding into one person.

Wow. Kissing Damien was more than pleasant.
