《A Daughter of Thanatos( Nico di Angelo )》Chapter 22

Nico di Angelo's P.O.V
I heard a scream and I looked back.
Clare was on the floor, unconscious. I ran over to her and picked her up bridal style. The rest of them crowded around me. "Is she okay?" Cole asked.
"Of course she is! That's why she screamed in pain before she went unconscious." Shadow said sarcastically.
"Oh, dear!" Aphrodite exclaimed. She rushed over and placed her hand over Clare's forehead. "She's burning up!"
"I'll take you five to one of my assistants." She led us to a room where a middle aged lady sat in the side of the room. She was seated at a desk and seemed to be looking at some documents.
"Miss. Margie, do you need anything?" She asked. Aphrodite nodded and made some room for Clare.
I laid Clarissa down, as gently as I could. The lady rushed over to Clare and checked her forehead, just like the goddess. "She seems to have a fever."
"This is..." She began. She turned Clare around and there was blood on her back. My eyes widened as I looked down at my bloody hands.
She lifted her shirt and the word 'promise' was carved on her back.
We all gasped at it? "H-How?" Aphrodite asked, baffled. Andy looked like she was about to cry and Shadow and Cole were still recovering from shock.
"I-I don't know." Shaking her head. She got up and went to get something in another room. "Do you guys have any ambrosia or nectar?" Aphrodite asked.
I nodded. I grabbed some from my backpack and went to Clare. I gently held her neck and put some ambrosia in her mouth. I moved her jaw so she could chew it. She swallowed and her breathing went back to normal. But it didn't stop the bleeding. Only lessened her fever.

Clarissa Walker's P.O.V
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. Clara, how many promises will you make and never keep them." Violet said.
I was back at the playground again. Violet holding a more dangerous knife. "What are you talking about?" I asked her.
"It's nothing, Nico. I promise." I glared at her. "I keep my promises, if you didn't know."
She glared at me. "Are you sure about that, Clare?" I nodded. "LIAR!" She screamed.
The force of the sound waves caused the place to shake.
The scenery changed. I was looking at a younger me. I was riding my scooter down the street and just found a younger Violet, who was bruised and bleeding. "Are you okay!" Younger me asked.
She was crying and shook her head. "Daddy hurt me." Past me's eyes widened. I hugged her and she flinched. "Come on, I'll take you to my mommy. She's nice." Little Violet nodded and got up.
We walked back to my house and went inside. "MOM!!!" I yelled.
"Coming!" She ran to us. She gasped at Violet. "Oh, my! What happened to her? Are you alright?" She led Violet in and I followed.
The scenery changed again. This time, we were outside her house and the police just finished taking her father in.
"Thank you, Clara!" She smiled and happily cried in my shoulder. "You're welcome, Vi. I promise, your dad won't ever hurt you again. If he does come back, he'll have to go through me."
The scenery changed again. I don't know where I was though.
Violet was in the corner of the room and she was bruised and bleeding. Crying like there's no tomorrow.
"You bitch! You thought that you can get rid of me. You're," Punch. "fucking," Kick. "worthless!!!" He stomped his foot on her stomach. She coughed out blood and her breathing faultered.

"I wish you were never born! And I wish your mother never left me you!" He picked her up and started to choke her.
Violet's eyes rolled back and she stopped breathing. Her dad continued to beat her even though she was already dead.
Violet died. I broke my promise. I couldn't protect her this time.
The scenery changed back to the park.
Violet was in front of me, holding back her tears. "You broke your promise."
Nico di Angelo's P.O.V
Clare started to groan in pain. I took off the wet towel on her forehead. "Ow..." She groaned again.
Her eyes shot open and we exhaled. "What happened?"
She tried to get up, I pushed her back into bed. "You have a fever and you're injured. I don't think you should be getting up yet." I told her.
She groaned again. "Did you find out where Selene and her hubby are yet?" I shook my head.
"Not yet, but we will." I said. "Hey! Did you forget about us?" Shadow asked. Clare laughed, but groaned afterwards.
"I was so worried! Don't do that again!" Andy exclaimed. Clare rolled her eyes playfully. "Sorry."
Andy went over to her and hugged her. "You scared me." Andy started crying.
Clare flinched. "My back hurts..." Andy pulled away. "Who did this to you?" Andy asked.
Clare hesitated for a moment. "I-I don't know..." I sighed. "Get some rest." I told her. She nodded and closed her eyes.
I went outside to find Aphrodite. I went into her office and closed the door. "Um, can we know where Selene is?" She looked up and smiled.
"Of course." She laid a document down on her desk and slid it over to me. "She met this man named Jake Lewis."
"A handsome man, but has a minor defect." I looked at her confused. "What's his sickness?"
"He has something called psychosis. A mental illness." She looked down sadly.
"So you're saying that a moon goddess fell in love with a hot psycho?" I asked. She nodded.
"Isn't this great!" I sarcastically exclaimed.
"You guys should go. You don't have much time left." I thanked her and went back to Clarissa.

Path of the Hive Queen

Now she needs to not only survive, but figure out the blue boxes, her biology, and how to build up and protect her hive, while balancing her Hive Queen instincts with the human parts of her mind. Her instincts want her to treat her progeny as expendable tools and destroy everything that might possibly one day be a threat. She’d rather not become an apocalypse. But she does need to secure resources and territory for her hive, and maybe a bit of conquest wouldn’t be so bad. A fantasy adventure with litRPG elements and kingdom building, telling the story of a Hive Queen and her family. [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]
8 510The Corvus Saga : The Recluse King (Minor Hiatus)
The war between life and death has been waging since those who use it first come into existence. Fought in the fields, the mind and in the shadows, this war will wage forever, infinitely advancing in scale and bloodshed. This war leads to the creation of Corvus, a once happy sailor boy, now emotionless killer, though no one quite knows why his creation happened as it did. As his life goes to hell, he goes his own way, finding friends and purpose with the first side he meets, only to discover that secrets are more prevalent than truth in this world. (Notice: I'm so sorry to announce this, but this story is going on the shelves for the time being. I love the world more than anything else i've written, but i can't seem to find the motivation to write it further. Once I've got a handle of myself and what's stopping me from enjoying this, I'll finish his story with a burning passion, but until then, I don't want to add anything Sub-Par to it. I'm so sorry once again, but i hope everyone can enjoy what's been written so far. Stay awesome you lovely people :D )
8 65Slime migration
Kip was an ordinary teenage boy going on his final, year 11, camping trip, until the world changed into that of an RPG game. He couldn't even get a simple skill like 'identification', this new world make it extremely hard for him to even kill a simple slime. With his friends dying left and right, what will happened to the humanity we knows as. Will Kip remain the same person he always was, or will he changed into something else? Hey guys, thank you for checking out my work. I've read so many novels on this site and it inspired me to write my own story. I've been studying English for about 2 years now and thought this would be a good opportunity to increase my writing skill at the same time. I am currently studying my degree at a University so I'll continue to edit and write more chapter whenever it's convenient for me to do so (which is like, all the times haha). My first work can turn out to be a bit crude, but I hope you guys will be patient and allow little small slime to grow. Thanks!!!
