The Five Demigods

Chapter 55

The quad followed Leigh for about 20 minutes before she finally came to a stop.

She shifted back and quickly went back to them and went to Scott before they could get out of the car.

"He's cold." She said, feeling his face. "He should be burning up."

Kirstie turned and looked at Kevin. "Could that be the baby?"

"Baby?" Leigh asked, looking at the rest of the group.

Kevin chuckled nervously. "Uh, he's...uh, well...he's...pregnant."

Leigh's face was unreadable. "We need to get him inside. Curly." She said, grabbing a key from her pocket and handing it to Avi. "Go open my door and clear off the table to the left. You'll know what I mean."

Avi wanted to be offended at her nickname, but her tone told him now wasn't the time, so he nodded and got out of the car and was at the door instantly.

Kevin and Kirstie both just looked at him.

"Help me!" Leigh practically shouted, getting the remaining demigods attention.

They both jumped into action and worked to get Scott's long, unconscious self out of the far back seat, being careful of his baby bump.

~~~~~

Mitch felt so sick.

He hadn't eaten, hadn't slept. Matt kept giving him a bunch of tasks.

Currently, Mitch was trying catch his breath, and not puke.

Something just felt off. Ever since he burnt Scott, he'd just felt...off.

Then, the taller demigod was in front of him.

"Go away." Mitch begged pathetically, holding his stomach.

Matt chuckled. "You're not done." He said. "I know where the demigods are. Scott's not in the best shape, from what I've heard."

Mitch looked at him. "What happened?" He choked out, pain forming in his abdomen.

"I have no idea how you did it, but somehow, you transferred the Hell Hound blood into his system."

Mitch looked at him, terrified. "W-what?"

Matt smirked. "The baby is keeping him alive." He paused. "For now."

Mitch felt his stomach heave and he threw up.

It was his fault. He warned Scott not to choke him, in any setting, and he did. Mitch panicked, and now, Scott was dying because of him.

"I want out." He whimpered. "I can't do this."

"Do what? Finally get what you deserve? They treated you horribly."

Mitch was fighting the tears. "Scott didn't. They didn't until you started coming around."

"Everything that's happened is because you did it. You slept with Avi." That stung. "You pushed Kirstie to an almost constant mental breakdown. You threw a rock at Kevin's head, and you've put not only Scott, but your baby, in danger."

The tears fell down Mitch's face. "I've made mistakes, clearly. But I don't wanna do this anymore. I can't."

Mitch was finally realizing how he felt. When he was with Scott, all of it was real. He wasn't faking anything.

Everyone of them tried to be his friend and he just....stabbed them in the back.

"I'm done." He said, then gathered as much energy as he could and focused on Scott, hoping he could teleport to him.

~~~~~

Avi being Avi, he just swept his arms across the table to clean it off, just as the other three came in holding the tall blond.

Once they got Scott on the table, Leigh rushed over to a tall cabinet she had in the corner. She grabbed some Elderberry, Echinacea, and Chicory. (I dont know literally anything about medicinal herbs, so just go with it😂)

"I can't stop it, but these will slow it down." She said as she started making a concoction of with some of the herbs and a paste with the others.

"Open his shirt." She said.

Kirstie jumped right to it since she was closest, but she was shaking so much from crying and fear of losing her friend, that she couldn't do it. So, Avi came over and pulled her away so Kevin could.

Once Scott's shirt was open, Leigh's eyes fell on his belly.

"Uh, this should help protect the baby." She said as she rubbed the paste on his stomach. "Where was he burned?"

"Left wrist." Avi said simply.

Leigh picked up Scott's wrist and saw the red hand print. "Who did this?" She said, putting more paste on.

"I did." A voice said, then suddenly there was a swirl of fire. When it died down, they saw the Son of Hades. "I did that."

They all looked at him, and he couldn't read any of their faces.

"Mitch?" Kirstie said.

Before he could respond, The brunette fell to the ground.

Sorry it's been a few days. I've had work which afterwards I just dont have the energy lol
