"I hate few things, but love even fewer..."Then we won't go to those places. But you have to understand that these things are a bit hard to believe, even with the monsters." She looked down at him, resisting the urge to be next to him, be close to him. It annoyed her so much that even though she had just met this boy, she felt like she already knew him. Hell, she didn't even know his name!
"What's your name, by the way?" She asked. [/size]

"Damien." He said automatically, the words passing his lips before he could think of what he was saying. "But you don't understand, those places that you could get proof are the places that mortals can't go!" He said, feeling like he, personally was the one blocking off all access to proof she had. What he wanted to say was; Sure, come with me! But he couldn't say that. And what would the Gods say about this? His mind flickered to Poseidon, the lovely god that had given him the Quest that allowed him to find... "What's your name?" He asked back.

"I hate few things, but love even fewer..."Kalyca." She replied quietly, as if she was embarrassed of her own name. Then she turned back to him, raising an eyebrow. "Where do you have to go for your quest? Olympus?" She said sarcastically. Then she winced, thinking that she came off to harsh. "I mean...can't I come for at least..part of it?" She looked at him with pleading eyes. She was desperate. "Please? You'll never even know I'm there!" She promised. He probably doesn't want me to be there in the first place... [/size]

Damien bit his lip. "Well - I mean - it's physically impossible for a mortal to pass the barrier into the demigod or godly area..." He said, looking down. He was still sitting, and he wanted to bite off his tongue. He didn't want to deny her anything, but he had to. She sounded so eager...

"I hate few things, but love even fewer...Kalyca's face dropped. "Oh." She said simply. Tears came to her eyes. Frustration rose inside of her like a volcano ready to erupt. Why are you crying?! He means nothing to you! But whether it was for the boy or of having to go home, Kalyca did not want to give him the pleasure of seeing her cry. Maybe he wasn't different. Maybe he was just like all the other douches in her life. She didn't care to find out anymore. "I-I better get home then." She stuttered, wiping her eyes. With that, she started to walk out of the alleyway, leaving the boy and her only hope of no return behind. [/size]

Damien's feet jumped up and ran towards Kalyca before he was even aware of what he was doing. Being a demigod, he was somewhat faster then the average mortal and managed to slide in front of her. "Please, don't take it personally" He meant to say, but when he saw her eyes clouded by tears, the words somehow came out like; "Please don't cry..." He murmured the words. He didn't know what to do, so he gently grabbed her wrist again, but lower, and more near to her hand.

"I hate few things, but love even fewer...Kalyca was shocked by Damien's speed. Before she had realized he had jumped in front of her she almost walked right into him. He grabbed her wrist and looked at her with sympathetic eyes, that made her want to punch him and cry on his shoulder at the same time. She looked away and used her other arm to wipe her eyes on her sweatshirt. "I'm not crying...I'm not...crying..." But it sounded like she was trying to convince herself more than him. Her knees could barely hold the weight of her body up anymore. When they gave, she sank to the ground, her hood falling over her face. She let silent tears stream down her face. [/size]

Damien bit his lip, searching his mind for possible loopholes... She couldn't go into the demigod places, so... "Would you like to help me with my quest?" He said dubiously, looking into her night-sky colored eyes.

I hate few things, but love even fewer...Kalyca's eyes lit up as she flung her head upwards to face his. She hadn't realized how close he had been and their faces almost touched. Kalyca blushed and scooted backwards, then faced him again. "Really?" She said, eagerness easily recognizable in her tone. "So, where do we go? What do I have to do? What do you have to do? Who sent you on the quest?" Questions came pouring out like a waterfall of words. Then she stopped, thinking about how weird she must come off to Damien. "Um...sorry." She said, rubbing the back of her head. She pulled her hood off and noticed that he was still holding her hand. She smiled and looked at him. "You can let go of me now, if you want." She said shyly. [/size]

Trying to love you... [/i]  "Oh..." He said, looking down at there hands. He felt a wave of longing... no need to stay like this, with there hands together. Then the longing swept past, and a faint blush touched his cheeks. "Oh.. sorry." He said, letting his hand swing to his side. "I.. we have to find some beads of wisdom." His hand twitched, and he shoved it behind his back, to keep from stroking a piece of her hair back into place.Dieing to love you.[/i][/center] |

I hate few things, but love even fewer...Kalyca nodded and started to walk out of the alleyway, peeking out of the corner first. Then she turned back to him. "There are no more monsters, we better get going before another comes." She had the urge to grab his hand and pull him with her, but she pushed it aside. It was then that she felt a heavy breathing down her neck, and it hit her. She forgot to look the other way. She gulped. She dared not turn around. She closed her eyes and waited for whatever was behind her to swallow her up. [/size]

Trying to love you... [/i] "Well - no - not really. Poseidon just wants them - Poseidon is the Goddess of water." He grabbed her hand, surprised by how her firm her grip was and stood up, straightening his jacket subconsciously. Well. Maybe not that subconscious. He had a kind of.. need to look his best around her, witch was contrary to his entire existence. He was the mysterious person who always knew the answer and sat at the back of the room. Kalyca made him feel upside down, inside out, and out of his comfort zone. He kept noticing things about her, like the way her lips curved when she pronounced her 'o's, and the way she slightly tossed her hair over her neck without seeming to notice it, leaving part of her skin exposed.
...How did he start thinking this? Damien shook his head imperceptibly, to clean his thoughts and said, "We'd better get started if we don't want to get to get located by more monsters. They seem to be everywhere these days..." He said, gripping the hilt of his sword, and his eyes sweeping the area for monsters. Dieing to love you.[/i][/center] |

Trying to love you... [/i] Damien swallowed the irrational rage he felt when the Gorgon snuck up onto the unsuspecting Kalyca. he should have been paying attention, but was instead milling about, looking at her hair.
Damien drew his sword silently, sneaking up onto the creature, then stabbing it between its shoulder blades. The bloodcurdling scream the creature let out was so shrill, it hurt his ears. Damien ducked around the creature, but not before it's flailing arm slashed the flesh on his arm. Damien gasped in pain, but grabbed Kalyca and swung her onto his back.
Using all of the godly speed he possessed, he dashed away, the gorgons footsteps pounding after them. Damien ducked and maneuvered between the buildings, keeping a firm grip on Kalycas wrists. "Don't look at it's eyes" He gasped, ducking around another corner in order to confuse it.Dieing to love you.[/i][/center] |

I hate few things, but love even fewer...Kalyca was surprised by Damien's action. He was so fast, so strong...and he had her on his back. But she didn't have time to blush. She was too busy being terrified. He grabbed her wrists and looked at her seriously. She nodded and gulped, trying to show him that she was not a wuss. But all she wanted to do was be close to him again, to feel his strong arms around her, protecting her. She looked down at her feet. She was so selfish. Then a thought occured to her.
What if he had a girlfriend?
She was shocked, her eyes wide. What if she could never have him, for he belonged to someone else? Then she realized she had more important things to worry about, like her life.
She shut her eyes tightly and prepared for the monster's attack.
It took a while for the monster to come around, but when it did she couldn't help but grip part of Damien;s sweatshirt, close to him chest. She felt his arm move and he jumped up to protect her. She stayed down, feeling the monster's claw coming so close to her skin she could hear it's blood running in it's veins. [/size]
