Chapter 20

Side is what I think Alastair (new character) looks like and just a random song I think goes to the chapter.

Infinite, they Cry 

Sadie stormed through the woods, making sure not to smash her face into any trees. She knew that would hurt more than punching one. "Death." She rolled her eyes and  blew a raspberry. "Of course I knew of the consequences, but I can't even bring up dad without Carter freaking out. Gods! I just want to throw him out a window!"

   "I'll happily oblige with what you could do." Sadie whipped her head to the voice. There a few feet away stood a boy with blond hair and coffee bean eyes.  He looked like a 16 year old. But his eyes, they glowed in the night. "Who are you?" She narrowed her eyes and slowly backed up.

   "I am a boy who has made conflict with Carter. But no, he doesn't know me like I know him." The boy shrugged and moved from the tree and circled Sadie. "I'm Alastair and I am the son of Asteria, goddess of the stars the daughter of Coeus and Phobe. I sure can help you." He smiled at Sadie and she knew that she'll hate him. "I have no reason for you to help. A boy like you can't do anything but stand in our way." Sadie turned around and began to walk back, but forgot which way she came from. Her stomach slowly churned to the left.

   "I can help you if you need to go back-" Sadie waved Alastair off. "No, no. I can find my way back." The night sky was getting brighter ever so slightly that only those in the sky could see it. But Sadie saw the sky getting brighter.

   "Well then, if you ever need me, just call me." He winked and waved his hand at her. "How-what?" Sadie's eyes widened as he just disappeared in a puff of smoke that flew into the sky and turned into stars. "Okay, that is the most stupidest and coolest way a demigod can escape." She shook her head and rubbed her temples. "Alastair, not a bad name. Kinda catchy." 

   She grinned and ran off back the way she came, if she even remembered- which she didn't. As she turned and walked, Sadie had a feeling she was being watched. But she did't let it bother her, that  was the last thing she thought before she was taken into the dark of the woods. 

She was panting against the cold wind, her eyes watered and Sadie wiped away her tears. Their were rustling behind her, so she sped up not caring if she left her body back there. Her heart pounded with anxiety and her ears rang with howling. Run, run faster than anyone. She thought. Sadie's feet barely touched the dirt and twigs as her arms were flung backwards and felt like they were being torn from her physical body. "STOP!" yelled a voice. It was strong, powerful and demanding as if it was made to stop war and only start battles that both sides lost. 

   Sadie blinked constantly as she was cradled, a person stood in front of her view from what was chasing her, but she was glad to no longer be running from such trepidation. "Sadie, Sadie. Sadie!" Her head spun with images from her past. Or was it? 

   "The serpents! Use the serpents to stop it." The voice that was right above her sounded so familiar, so lovely...

   "Walt..."

   His arms tighten around her body, the warmth he had radiated off his torso and Sadie felt at the brink of her eyes; tears. "Gods of Olympus! We can't kill this thing if we don't know what it even is!" It was a girl's voice, the one who shouted stop. It sound so foreign, like how Sadie's voice sounded like when she lived in London. "We're going to have to run, Alastair-" 

   Her eyes widened with awe. Sadie struggled to sit up, but Walt held her down. "Stop struggling, Sadie. Please." Her eyes shut, but voices were in her head, stopping her from even falling unconscious. So many, all different kinds. Wars' and bloody images.
