Tomb

I held her hands as we talked and laughed about God knows what,i stared at her ever smiling face with the moon reflecting on her face making her beauty breath taking."what?" She asks. "Youre dazzling" i reply. She smiles even more which makes my heart skips a beat. Our eyes meets and time freezes.Don't know who started but our head starts closing the space between us till our lips are half an inch apart. I instinctively close my eyes awaiting that soft touch then> "Ahhh! Damn alarm" i cursed .Ive got no choice. l need to get up else the next alarm will be from mom. checked my phone and i have just one message from my best buddy Austin." Youre sick" i replied. Jumped off bed and rushed to the bathroom. few minutes later am done freshing up.walked in to the kitchen and mom is done packing up my food." Good morning mom". "Morning dear how was your night?" She asked. Remembering the dream i just had i smiled to myself. "whats funny?" She asks?. "Not

Upon getting to the tomb we parked our bicycles near one tree around. The place was eerily quiet. And the surroundings we're a very bushy. we had to wade our way through the bushes to get to the entrance but it was locked when we got there.." Ok then i guess we'll have to go back,its locked" i said." Idiot" Austin retorted." Did you expect us to find the entrance open for us to walk in like the owners? Well have to jump over the fence to get in" " Am having a bad feeling about this bro,i think we should just go back. who knows the reason this place has been locked up for so long and who knows if this place is hunted" i said starting to feel anxious." Gosh, i thought we've talked about this already stop being a scared little puppy and come lets jump in" Austin scolded." If anything happens, its all on you" i said before following him. the fence was low though so we were able to climb over and jump in. To be quite frank the tomb was like a big cuboid but it

I found myself in a forest running at unimaginable speed.Running from something that I don't know of.no matter how fast i run i seem unable to outrun it. The faster i run, the closer it gets to me. I keep screaming for help but no one seems to be around.my breathing is ragged and my clothes soaked in sweat and dirts are all over me. Despite all that is happening the forest is strangely quiet. I mistakenly tripped and fall, twisting my ankle in the process. I can't get up,i begin to crawl but its too late as i hear a voice that seems to belongs to a ghost say to me: "i am coming for you son of Hermes"The next thing I see is a saw shaped sword with chains wrapped around it handle flying towards my head at unimaginable speed.It seems to split the sky as it vibrates the real essence of destruction.I close my eyes as i await death The saw shaped sword makes its way to my neck and as it was about to sever my head from from my body i jerked up, opening up my eyes to see myself

Next morning>>My alarm woke me up.I seriously didn't feel like getting out of bed.i was tired,mentally.Stressed about all that has been happening recently..But i have no choice,i need to get to school cos ive missed lectures for some days now. I rushed into the bathroom and what i saw at the mirror left me shocked.my chest was broader and i had well defined abs."whats wrong with me" i wondered.now i still need to add this to my list of strange things happening to me recently,plus that of yesterday. opps! speaking about yesterday... lemme take you back a bit.I was really confused.didnt know where i was,nor where i should go.i calmed myself down and started thinking about what i should do and luckily my phone was still intact.I turned on my location in other to know where i was and was shocked to find out that i was in the neighboring town." Strange " i thought.I order an Uber to pick me up.and some hours later i was

seeking truth

Austin's pov.I felt something was wrong when shield told me that there's something that he needs to do.And i got more suspicious when he said 'alone'.I know him enough to know when something is bothering him.Even though he tries to act normal.I feel there's something different about him.Theres this aura that started surrounding him since he left the hospital.And. It seems to increase as time goes by.Anytime i look at him i see that glint in his eyes that makes me feel like looking at someone or something more superior to me And that has never happened before.Not even with Mrs Tina."What could be wrong?" I wonderedI mounted my bicycle with the intention of going home but I noticed that shield was taking a different route home.Its strange cos we hardly take that route since is longer than the one we usually take."I might as well as follow this guy and see what's going on" i reasoned. With that in mind i followed after him, though not getting clo

Ten minutes ago.In a cave very dark cave,two distinct voices could be heard."You've failed ghost of Sparta" a feminine yet dull and cold voice that sends shivers down one's spine sounded.Her voice was like some who was in a deep slumber "All i need is his blood.when the time comes you can do whatever you wish with him""I didn't fail" if shield was present he would have recognized this voice as belonging to the person that attacked him earlier. "Hades has seen to it that i am unable to stay in the mortal realm for long. I need to journey to the outer parts of the underworld,to the doors of death. Then will my restrictions be removed". "Very well then,but don't you dare fail me kratos. You belong to me. It was only through my help that you were able to destroy Olympus and that wount be for long. The skies are ragging,the seas are churning and the gods of Olympus are awakening. If and when it happens you wount be so lucky next time" the whisperin

Revelations

Hermes heir/Jahshield Peter

Austin's POVI really found it hard to believe what shield told me: that he got bitten by talking snakes,can run at super human speed,has golden blood and many more absurd stuffs that he told me about. I can't believe that my buddy that ive known for a long time had become someone different overnight. If i didn't see that being that tried killing us,i would have taken him to be sick. I hope he gets the answer he deserves though. I sat down and Waited for him to come out. After some time he walked out of the tomb with a gloomy expression."Hey man what happened,whats wrong?" I asked while standing up and rushing to where he was." I don't know man" he said while scratching his head " am really confused about everything about me. I need to talk to my mom .i need to get home,ill fill you in tomorrow.thanks man and sorry for putting you in danger.well see tomorrow"he said while rushing to where the bicycle was and i followed after him.MY POV
