The Five Demigods

Chapter 60

Kirstoe and Mitch returned two hours later, the two impossibly giggly.

"Okay!" Leigh started as she walked in the room. "I dont want my house getting destroyed any more so-" She cut off when she saw the stoned demigods.

"Oh, my god." She groaned. "Can you two function?" She asked.

Mitch giggled and draped an arm over his friend. "Bitch, have you meet me?"

"Unfortunetly."

Mitch smiled. "Then you should know...I actually have no idea where I was going with that."

Leigh Scoffed. "Well, sober yourself up. I dont want any of you destroying my house, so where going to start some training. You guys dont know how to hone your abilities, so I'm gonna help you."

"Uh. Yet again." Mitch giggled. "Have you met me?"

Leigh turned to him and looked him dead in the eye. "You have been here not even 24 hours. I have no idea what your capable of, and from what I've heard about you, I dont wanna be on the receiving end of it. And to top it all off, your powers are linked to your emotions, and you, Mitch, are very unstable."

Mitch just snorted. He put up his hand and a tiny flame popped out and settled in his hand, then he brought up his other hand and flicked it around, the flame moving with it.

"What I'm doing, is controlling this flame with my telekenisis." He explained as he made it dance and swirl around her. "I won't hurt you, unless you give me a reason to."

Leigh stayed quiet.

"So, I think I'm good on the training part." The Son of Hades smirked.

Leigh clenched her jaw and turned to the rest of them. "Follow me. Regardless of what he thinks he knows, you all need proper training. Everything you guys know is self-taught. You're gonna need the help, especially if you two." She pointed to both Scott and Kirstie. "Are gonna have weird Power surges because of your babies. Like Scott did earlier."

Scott gave a nervous smile. "I'm sorry."

"Its fine. Curly can you can fix it later."

"Excuse me?!" Avi exclaimed.

"You heard me."

Avi took a breath and composed himself. "At least stop calling me Curly."

Leigh pretended to think about it. "Mmmm, no. I dont care enough to remember your name, nor have you given me a reason to. So until then, I'm calling you Curly."

"Bitch." Avi mumbled under his breath.

The next thing he knew, he was pinned to the wall by his throat by the older female.

"Watch yourself."

Avi gave a quick nod and felt the hand leave his throat. He fell to the floor and gasped for air. "Holy fuck." He mumbled.

Kirstie was sort of just watching everything. Then she decided to look at Mitch and just would up laughing. "You have a leaf in your hair."

She reached up and pulled it out to show him, laughing as she did.

"Okay, someone take care of them." Leigh said.

Avi picked himself up off the floor and went over to Kirstie.

"Well, hi!" She said once she saw him.

"Yes, you are." He chuckled and gathered her in his arms.

She snuggled into his chest. "God, you smell amazing." She said.

Avi looked sort of.c ok infused when he looked at Scott, who was smiling just a little. "We have a better sense of smell. You know, because we're pregnant."

Avi gave him a look.

"Oh, don't look at me like that. I've done my research."

"Fun fact." Mitch said. "Scott's almost far enough along that she can hear. Well, sorta." He shrugged. "Babies begin to here at about 18 weeks. Scott's almost 4 months. He should even feel her move soon."

Scott looked at him, but didnt say anything.

"What? I've done my research. Is that illegal? Oh, wait. You didn't want me around her."

"Mitch." Kirstie said.

"No, its alright. I get it. I wouldn't want her around me either." He said. He brushed off the tear before anyone could see it, and covered it up by scratching his face. "I'm gonna go for a walk." He said, before turning and walking out the door.

Leigh scoffed. "Precisely my point."

Avi snapped. "Okay, you need to stop. You don't know anything about what he's been through. What all of us have been through. So you can drop the bitchy attitude."

Leigh looked away from him. "Time to train. All of you get ready, I'm gonna go talk to Mitch."

"Uh, that might not be the best idea." Kevin said. "Not good things tend to happen when we go after him."

"Well, not good things could happen if we don't. I know how to talk to him."

Kevin sighed, he knew from his experience with most females, if they say there gonna do something, they're gonna do it.

Leigh nodded and walked out, looking for the brunette. When she saw him she called for him.

Once he heard his name he dropped his head and sighed. "What?"

"I can help you." She said once she met up with him. "I know about the Hell Hound blood, and I can help you."

"Okay." He snarked. "How would you know how to help me."

"I know because it happened to me."

Mitch looked at her after that.

"I know you didn't want to do anything that you've done, and what you're gonna do. Matt got to me when I was 18. He kept me under his control for two years with the stuff."

"How did you get rid of it?"

She sighed. "I didn't. Not yet. Sometimes I still feel it myself."

Mitch sniffled then. "What do I do?"

"You have to fight it and they have to work with you. I've been looking for years to find a cure."

"And have you found one?"

She sighed. "No, I haven't, but that doesn't mean there isn't one. Everything has a cure, it just needs to be found."

The demigod was shaking. "How do I fight this? I don't want to hurt anyone. Well, anyone else. Leigh, what do I do?!" He cried and fell into her.

She caught him and wrapped her arms around him tightly. She went through it by herself, and she'll be damned if she let him go through it alone.

"I'm right here, okay? I'll help you however I can." She told him, though he didn't seem to hear her and if he did, he wasnt able to respond.

After a while he pulled back and wiped his face. "I can't have him hating me. That'll destroy me."

Leigh sniffled. She hated crying. "I'll talk to him. He probably just doesn't know how to process everything right now. Just give him some time."

Mitch cleared his throat and wiped his face. "Well, that killed my high."

"Mitch-"

"Let's train, shall we?" He said with a smile as he walked back into the house.

"The hell?" Leigh asked aloud as she watched him walk back to the house.

She sighed and followed him.

This was gonna take a while.
