The Five Demigods

Chapter 42

"Its been three days." Kirstie said grumpily. "Three days...and no Mitch."
She was laying down on her bed stretched out with her feet crossed and one arm supporting her head. "What do we do?"

"I still don't think we can do anything. We don't even know where he is." Kevin said.

Kirstie groaned. She was so tired. "Fuck!" She yelled. She stood and threw a water ball at the wall. "If he didn't go all fucking hero and get into Matt's bullshit in the first place, we wouldn't have this problem." She rubbed her face as she tried to think of something to help.

Nothing.

She plopped back down on her bed and curled up into a ball.

Kevin didn't know what to do.

Avi and Scott just sat there and looked at the wall. Avi was think about Kirstie and how worried she was, and Scott was thinking about Mitch and their daughter.

Kirstie was just tired. She had slept all day yesterday, but she was still exhausted, and she could for the life of her figure out why.

"Kirstie-." Scott started.

"No." She stopped him. "If you two hadn't gotten into that fight, he'd probably still be here."

Scott just looked at her.

"Its not his fault, Kit." Avi said.

"Then who's is it, huh?" She glared at him.

"Both of you. stop it." Kevin said. "No one is to blame except for Matt. He's the one that stuck Mitch with the Hell Hound blood. Scott didn't do anything."

Kirstie just rolled her eyes and flopped back down on the bed, face first.

She wanted to cry, sleep, and kill someone, all at the same time.

Avi sat down next to her and started rubbing her back.

"Oh, don't do that." She said, her voice muffled by the blanket.

"Why?" He asked slowly.

"Because, I'll pass ouuuuut." She whined.

Avi chuckled and nodded, taking his hand away and placing it in his own lap.

"We need to find Mitch." Avi said.

"No shit." Kirstie said sarcastically.

She was ignored.

Scott was numb. Kirstie was right. If he and Mitch hadn't gotten into that fight, Mitch would probably still be here.

The thought made him sick, so when he felt his stomach lurch, he ran to the bathroom.

"Is he alright?" Avi asked.

Kevin punched him in the shoulder. "Are you stupid?"

Avi clenched his teeth and rubbed his arm, doing his best not to tackle Kevin to the ground.

"No, I was just asking a question." He grumbled.

Kevin shook his head and mumbled something Avi was sure was an insult, and sat down.

This was gonna be a long day.

Mitch was currently in a tree.

He'd been spying on Xan.

After Mitch had walked out, Xan tried attacking him again.

Now, Mitch was watching him and following him, hoping it would lead to Matt...eventually.

For now, he was just chilling in a tree, waiting for Xan to walk by.

The last three days have been kind of a blur for him, but he knew where he was going.

He had gotten so comfortable in his tree that he was almost asleep when he heard leaves rustling down below him.

He smiled.

"Show time." He said.

He looked down and saw Xan walking by, looking down at his phone.

Mitch pulled his legs up and perched himself, ready to jump.

When Xan got a few feet close, Mitch dropped.

Xan was completely unaware of the demigod in the tree, so he was quite surprised when Mitch landed on him. He turned around and chuckled when he saw who was on top of him.

"We figured you'd be back." He said with a smirk.

"You know nothing about me." Mitch said darkly. "Take me to Matt."

"Oh, now you wanna have some fun."

Mitch punched him. "Take. Me. To. Matt."

"You being on top of me, kinda makes that difficult, wouldn't ya think?"

Mitch rolled his eyes and punched him again before getting up, not offering a hand to the blond.

"I'm still wondering why it took you so long."

Mitch shrugged and examined his fingernails.

"Doesn't matter. I'm here now." He said.

"And your friends?"

Mitch froze. "We won't be talking about them."

"What about your daughter?"

"Shut your mouth." Mitch hissed.

"You get so defensive, I love it." Xan said excitedly.

Mitch flung Xan agaisnt a tree. "You keep...your fucking mouth...shut. About Scott, about my daughter. All of it! Or we won't be on very good terms."

Xan looked at Mitch with fear in his eyes. Mitch's eyes were a fiery orange, and said that Mitch would kill him if given a reason.

"Got it?" Mitch said.

Xan nodded quickly.

"Now, take me to Matt."

Xan nodded again, and felt the force holding him lift, allowing him to move.

"Follow me." Xan smiled.

Mitch nodded and they walked
