Thess Hero

Chapter 19

The next day I decide to go out with my friends and have some fun after everything that happened. As I go down the stairs to tell my mom I'm going out, Akis greets me.

-Good morning, Artemis

He said, playing all innocent.

"He's a good actor..." I thought to myself.

-Good morning...

-How have you been?

He asked politely.

-Great...I was heading out now so...yeah I got to go now heh bye

-Wait wait! I've been meaning to ask you...have we met before? I can't stop thinking that I know you from somewhere...

My heart stopped for a second.

-Uhh what do you mean? No! I don't know you!

I said while trying to not sound nervous.

-Hmm okay I see, guess I've confused you with someone else

-Yeah yeah it must be that!

"What a freak" I thought. "It's been about a month since then so I guess it's kind of normal if he has forgotten my face but at the same time I feel like he's doing it on purpose...". I stopped thinking about it and went to tell my mom I'm leaving.

When I got to my friend's place, everyone had gathered, they were waiting for me.

-Sorry I'm late

I said while coming in

-Artemis! Hello!

Haris said.

Then we sat together, talked, ate, etc. As soon as about 1 hour had passed, my phone rang.

-Ugh, can't I be free just for one day?

I said after seeing the message. It was from Angela and Lucy, they said that a hero needed some backup help.

-What is it Artemis?

Eliza asked.

-Uh, well, you know, my parents...

-Oh, it's okay we understand

-Sorry for not being able to stay for longer, I'll see ya later!

-Bye Artemis!

They all said, and I left. When I got out of the house, I sent a signal to Angela and Lucy to transform me and send me wherever I had to go. As soon as I got transformed, I flew up. But for my bad luck, my brother, Socrates, happened to be just some metters away from me and I didn't notice him while transforming. But he did.

-What the fuck was that just now...

He said.

Meanwhile in Corfu, while Alexandra was fighting:

-Why is it taking for so long to send someone!

Alexandra said to herself while fighting with a monster. And at that time, I got sent there. The situation was indeed very bad, almost like how it happened back in Thessaloniki.

-Alexandra!

I yelled and started running around to find her.

-Artemis! Right here!

She yelled back when she saw me

-I'm so glad they sent you! You're someone I can trust!

She said

-I'm glad you think so, but now it's not the time for chit chat, we need to get over with those things

I said while shooting one with my gun.

-Yes, you are right. Thank you for coming to help

-No problem

I said. Then, from the corner of my eye I see a kid just about to get attacked and probably eaten by one of those monsters. I run through it and catch the kid, as I rolled to get away.

-You okay?

I asked the kid. It smiled back at me and nodded. Then the monster tried to attack again.

-FLYING!

I said to the mic so Angela and Lucy will give me the power. As soon as they give it to me I fly away with the kid, and then land back to the ground somewhere where a group of people were.

-Please look after her for a second

I said. While in fear, those people agreed. Then I headed back to help Alexandra.

-How many of these are here?

I asked

-I don't know

Alexandra replied while stabbing with her katana a monster. I realized that they died more easily than the ones I fought with Leon in Thessaloniki.

-Dude, this monsters are easier to handle! It's only their size that is bigger!

I said

-Really?

-Yes! If we think of a plan to kill multiple at once we'll get over with them faster!

Then Alexandra gasped.

-I know!

She yelled and smiled.

-Follow me!

She said. I didn't ask her any questions, I just followed her.

-We're here!

She said. She had brought me to a harbor.

-What are we gonna do in here?

I asked.

-Do you trust me?

She asked.

-Huh? Yeah I trust you but what are you plani-

I couldn't finish my sentence. She grabbed me and we both dived in the harbor. The monsters had followed us till there and they even dived in too. As soon as they did, Alexandra got out of the water and flew away, as she was also holding me. It was as if an explosion had happened. Then as we were in midair, flying, Alexandra grabbed a huge fishing net a boat had in the harbor and threw it down on the monsters. It captured them all.

-Artemis! Can you please go grab that fishing net with the monsters and hold it above water?

I nodded. I didn't know what she was planning to do, but I followed her plan anyway.

-Got it!

I said and then pulled it out. As soon as I did, Alexandra shooted a blast on that thing, and blew up the monsters. Then we landed back.

-Oh my god that was awesome Alexandra! I maybe got a little scared that I'd die from the blast BUT IT WAS GREAT!

I said while being excited about what had just happened.

-Ahhh thank you so much!

She said and hugged me.

-Wanna go to my place and chill?

She asked.

-Oh, uh, yeah sure why not!

I replied. And as we walked 5 steps, one monster that survived tried to get out of the harbor.

-Awh hell no

I said and shoot it off and it fell back on the water,dead. Then we continued on our way.
