Why Me?(Third book of Call me Omega)

Chapter 42

"I hate it when people say it's our fate to die."

"Why?"

"It sounds like we live to die. Everything seems useless."

"We're trying to make a better world for our children."

I looked at him. "How does it feel? To be immortal. Like you."

He thought about it. "I'm not sure. I never was anything but this. I guess I could fade into darkness, but it would be hard." he smiled slightly. "My sons and daughters have a chance. Especially Tartarus. He was the strongest one."

I laughed nervously. "Don't tell me he's coming in here."

"No. He won't. And even if he does, he won't have a chance."

"You can kill him?"

"Victor, Percy is quite strong. Stronger than you think. If he wanted to take my throne and he was fearless which is impossible for a demigod by the way- he could take on Tartarus and I." he smiled. "I had been always amazed by him. He can live even when he has a few swords struck through him. He can do anything for family, which is not a common thing you can see."

"You're lucky Victor. To have a friend like that."

I went to the arena and saw only one room.

Pressing my hand onto the wall, the door opened, showing me Percy sitting down with his back on the wall and a towel over his eyes.

"Percy?"

He sat up quickly, throwing the towel off his face. He smiled slightly.
"Victor."

I looked around the room, and saw the remains of a metallic dummy. The floor was slightly singed and there was a block of ice on the floor. I kicked he dummy's head carelessly.

"Chaos was talking about a new dummy."

He nodded. "It's really nice. It has powers."

"When did you come?"

"About 7."

I scowled. "I told you to rest."

"I did!"

"How long."

"... 5 minutes?"

I hit him on the head. "Lunch."

He shook his head.

"I know you didn't eat breakfast." I glared at him. "Are you using the scale?"

"Uh...."

I sighed and rubbed my face.

"Percy. You. Need. To. Eat."

"Okay." he grumbled, sitting up. "Lets go."

A sandwitch.

I glared at him, and he smiled nervously.
I piled a salad on a dish and handed it to him. He scowled.

"Am I a rabbit?"

"It has chicken. Rabbits don't eat chicken."

"I know."

"You don't know anything."

Chaos slipped in between both of us.
"You two can stop fighting."

Annabeth stood next to Percy.
"Percy-"

He was gone faster than you can say chicken salad.

Chaos stared symphatically at Annabeth.
"Don't worry. He's just... Confused."
She nodded slowly.

I can't hurt her again.

I scowled.

Just because of her. Because of the daughter of Athena.

Because of that.

Cory's eyes are like a jungle, he smiles, it's like the radio~~~~
