《Secrets (PJO/TW Cross Over)》Chapter 4~A UNfortunate Visit
Advertisement
Once we were far enough into the woods Percy summoned a taxi. Those old lady's were insane. They split the taxi in half...I almost fall out because I was in the middle. We were in Wisconsin is seconds. They stopped in the town we needed to be in. It was sunrise. Perfect timing.
"What is the adress?" Percy asked Grover.
"I don't think we need one" I said pointing to a sign that said Merideths Fortune teller shop.
"Are you gonna go in?" Lydia asked.
"Is it the feeling of death or danger?" I asked.
"Danger...and maybe death." She said and I shrugged off my fear.
"I will take that chance." I said as I grabbed the door handle.
We all walked in and there was an old dark skinned lady.
"I have been expecting you, Stiles" she said and I slightly flinched.
"Might want to stop your fear now, don't wanna make him any stronger? Do we?" She asked.
I looked back a Lydia and Scott.
"What do you want from him?" Scott asked.
"What everyone wants from him. His blood. His blood makes people stronger, faster, makes demons harder to unidentify, and makes almost anything heal." She said with a serious tone.
"So what are you gonna do?" Percy asked.
The women was silent. Everyone got closer to her. Percy slashed his sword at her hand. Her hand fell off but quickly grew back.
"Shouldn't have done that! Now, Stiles will pay the price." She yelled as she snapped her finger and the nogistune apeared behind her along with 4 other demons. 6 total. One for each of us.
"I got the nogistune." Scott said and everyone nodded.
"This isn't your fight Scott, I got him." I said.
"Stiles! I got some more riddles for you." The nogistune said as war broke out.
"I am greater then god, more evil then the devil, the poor have it, rich dont, and if you eat me, you die. What am I?" The nogistune asked.

I thought f or a moment.
The nogistune took a step closer.
"Answer?" He said evilishly.
Nothing.
"Nothing." I said.
"Many have heard me, but nobody has seen me, and I will not speak back until spoken to. What am I?" He said.
I had no idea. And I knew what happens when you don't know.
"I don't know" I said stepping away till I hit a wall.
"Many have heardme, but nobody has seen me, and I will not speak unless spoken to. What is it? Stiles! WHAT IS IT!" the nogistune had its hand on my neck.
"I...dont...know!" I choked out.
He let go.
"Well, I guess I will have to wear your face now." He said as he began to take his bandages off.
"No! Don't do it!" I yelled but it was to late, I was looking at my twin.
"Still don't know?" He asked.
"I don't know" I said shakily.
Everyone was fighting.
"This is gonna hurt. Should've known it and you could've saved your dad and your friends, but you didnt know...now, LET ME IN!" Void screamed.
"NO" I yelled back.
"Very well" void said as he lifted his hand.
Pain exploded through my head. I screamed loudly and fell to the ground.
"Make. It. Stop." I managed to yell in between my screams.
"Let me in stiles! All the pain will stop!" He said.
I felt myself slowly losing grip on my mind, I felt myself slowly letting him in. More pain exploded through my head and I grabbed my head again and screamed. I was letting go.
"Do it Stiles! Let me in!" Void yelled.
"Hold on stiles! Don't let him in!" Scott yelled from the other side of the room.
"You don't want me to do this Stiles!" Void said and my world spun. And went black.
I woke up at my house. I heard things falling. I ran down stairs. My dad was dodging the onis. I couldn't move to help him. As if I was glued to the ground. I watched as the sword plunched through his stomach. I yelled. I was finally able to move.

"Dad! No! Dad." I started to cry.
"No. Why." I sobbed out.
"If you let me in, I can bring him back." My twin said.
"What? You can bring him back?" I asked still balling.
"IF you let me in. Do it. Get your dad back." He said.
I wiped my tears and looked at my hands. 6 fingers. It wasn't real.
"This isn't real." I said.
"The pain is. Answer the riddle Stiles and there won't be pain. Many have heard me, but nobody has seen me, and I will not speak unless spoken to. What is it?" The nogistune asked.
"I don't know" I said and my head erupted in pain. I screamed and held my head.
Echo.
The answer was echo.
The pain stopped for a moment.
I looked up. "The answer is echo" I said and the lain erupted again.
"Correct but, it was late, let me i-" the nogistune stopped but the lain didn't.
I sat up screaming and crying. Everyone was around me. My back was on lydias lap and she had her arms around me. Scott was doing the same, holding me down.
"Ahhh" I continued to scream.
"Stiles, it's okay...your okay!" He said.
"A-are you r-real?" I asked still crying.
"We're real" Scott said.
"H-how do I know?" I asked.
"Count my fingers" Scott said and he held up his hands.
1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10 fingers. 5 on each hand.
I took a deep breath. "I almost let him in." I said.
"But you didn't and he is gone. Your okay" Lydia said.
"What happened in the dream?" Percy asked.
"He killed my dad in front of me, then said that if I let him in, he would bring him back. But before I did, I counted my fingers and found out it wasn't real. Then he asked me the same riddle again. Many have heard me, yet nobody has seen me, and I don't speak unless spoken to. It was an echo, but I didn't know that so he did the same thing he did out here...the head thing, until I found out the answer, then it all stopped." I said.
"We stabbed the old lady...killed all the demons and the nogistune." Percy said.
I realized that I was really tired and weak. My eyes started to droop.
"Stiles, your really weak right now, you should get some sleep." Scott said noticing.
I nodded my head yes. Scott and Lydia helped me up.
"Can you stand?" Lydia asked.
I nodded yes again and began to walk. I stepped on step and began to fall. I was weak. Scott caught me.
"Woah! Are you okay? I will carry you to the car." Scott said.
"I'm okay" I said as I was leaving in him.
"No, your not, your tired and weak. C'mon" he said as he helped me to the truck I'm gonna say we stole. Lydia was behind us.
Scott layed me down in the back of the truck and went to go help them. My head rested in lydias lap.
"I'm not even tired." I said weakly.
"Stiles, they got the pearls. Just go to sleep. You tired and weak." Lydia said playing with my hair.
"I'm afraid to go to sleep. What if i have another dream?" I said weakly barley keeping my eyes open.
"Stiles, he is gone now. None of us will let you get hurt. Especially me." She said still playing with my hair.
"I love you Lyds" I mumbled as I drifted off to a deep sleep.

While the entire series story has undergone major changes in the last year, all books have been planned since the beginning of writing. It is also my second wish to eventually make this story into a webcomic, either by myself or with a team if possible. Thank you for taking this journey with me, and enjoy reading! ( You can alternatively read books in the series as standalone fictions, but they connect to one another though a running theme and mystery that evolves and progresses with the main character. ) Alternate Blurb for the Singularity Cycle series: Essairyn had never felt truly alive on Earth. It felt like something was missing ever since she was born, but even after nearly 20 years of mundane living, she could never pinpoint what this or the emptiness in her heart was. Suddenly, she awakens in a grandiose, primordial forest and encounters mythical creatures beyond her restless imagination in a parallel world called Sol'h'meyr. She befriends, in particular, a sassy fox-spirit named Akari who reincarnated after three millennia. Essairyn is gifted with abnormal magic, and Akari is being chased by those of her dark past. Together, they set out on an adventure in a world more dangerous than its beautiful facade could hide. Finding new friends along a path riddled with tragedy, Essairyn must learn who to trust as deceit and betrayal lie behind kindly faces. Life in this deceptively promising world slowly spirals down a path of no return. This is not a game, but cruel reality. Her simple adventure became the modest beginnings in a chain of disruptions that tore even the dimensional fabric of time and space. No one, not even Essairyn, was who she thought they were. And not even the fickle gods could change the time-worn destiny of the universes... A single promise shook eternity’s existence.
