Betrayed and Wanted Part2

    I stared at Skeleton for a moment. His jaw was set, his gold eyes flashing with a hidden secret, and his jet black hair with a strand of white hid his face as though he was trying to cover up the secret.

    "The only reason we are here now is because we are the team General Hades trusts most. The other teams seemed to have betrayed him and he needs to make sure you get to home base as soon as possible without getting hurt of any sort." Skeleton said carefully

    "Wait a minute... Why was Hades betrayed in the first place?" I asked confused.

    "Because, other teams want his power in leadership." Private jumped in. "Hades can declare war if he has to because of who he is and how many people trust him."

    "Who is he?" I asked calmly.

    "He was once a man who trusted everyone he knew." Sands said looking down at his feet.

    "Until one day a few men in his group tried to kill him." Private said.

    Razz looked at skeleton for a moment.

    "Tell her the whole truth..." Zombie whispered firmly.

    "She isnt ready..." Skeleton hissed softly. "She wont believe us..."

    "Either way we don't have a choice! Razz is dying and we need to get to base!" Zombie snapped.

    "That wasn't part of General Hades oders!" Skeleton snapped back.

    "How will she trust us then huh?! We need to tell her who she really is and why we are doing this!" Private added his eyes flashing in anger. 

    Skeleton rubbed his eyes looking frustrated. Just then a guy in army uniform came in. The air around him was tense and full of anger and hate. Skeleton, Zombie, Private and Fang stood to attention. Razz was still laying down his side wound still bleeding.

    "What happened?" The man growled walking over to Razz to check his wound.

    "We got attacked sir." Skeleton reported firmly as though nothing had happened before the man appeared.

    The man looked up at me and studied me with his icy steel gaze.

    "Who is this?" the man asked coldly.

    "This is Nova sir." Private said shooting me a warning glance to stay quiet.

    "Hmm..." The man said walking around me in a circle. "So this is the one Hades is after?"

    "Yes sir." Fang answered quickly.

    "Why are you here sir?" Razz asked weakly with a cough.

    "I was sent by Hades to see to it that you all return safely." the man answered looking down at Razz then looks at me. "I am Ares, Hades normaly sends me to battle to make sure or forces don't break. But you are wanted by other people who are against us."

    "Why am I wanted?" I asked carefully.

    "Because you are a demigod." Ares said studying me closely.

    "What?!" I asked in shock.

    Skeleton walked over to me and put a hand on my shoulder.

    "We all are demigods here." he said looking me in the eyes. "Private and Fang are the son and daughter of Ares, Zombie and myself are the sons of Hades, and Razz is the son of Hephaestus."

    I looked at Razz my mind whriling with questions.

    "Who is my godly parent...?" I asked carefully.

    Skeleton shared a glance with private.

    "We are still unsure of that..." Private said carefully.

    I leaned against a wall and rubbed my head trying to think. Ares looked outside the door for a moment then growled.

    "We need to go kid, our time is up." Ares said pulling out a gun.

    "Do we have a ride?" Skeleton asked glancing at Razz.

    "We dont have time to carry him Skeleton! We need to leave him!" Ares shouted looking outside again the air filling with more hate and anger.

    "No man is left behind!" I shouted. "I may not know Razz but he risked his life for mine and I'm not going to just leave him here to die! Not when he's still fighting for his own life!"

    "You foolish kid!" Ares snapped angirly. "He'll just slow us down!"

    Skeleton looked at me thoughtfully then looked at Ares.

    "No he wont." Skeleton said with a grin before making a high and sharp whistle.

    A moment later a hellhound appeared and looked at Skeleton as if it was waiting for orders.

    "Hey Terror," Skeleton said kneeling down on one knee in front of the hellhound and rubbing it's ears. "Can you take Razz back to camp safely for us?"

    The hellhound named Terror nudged Skeleton once with his nose then went over to Razz and picks him up. The hellhound looked back at Skeleton once before dissapearing into the shadows.

    Ares glared at me angrly.

    "Are you happy now?" Ares demanded his eyes flashing with anger.

    "Yes." I said looking calmly at Ares.

    Skeleton looked around the remaing people in his team.

    "Lets move out... Those who dont make it we will make sure to remember honnor you for what you did tonight in order to keep Nova safe." Skeleton said calmly before glancing at me. "But lets try not dying tonight. Lets make sure we all get back to base and see Razz. For his sake."

    Private, Zombie, and Fang nodded. I looked at Skeleton as Ares left before following the god of war out into the night. Just as I stepped out guns fired making us all run for the edge of the city. I looked at the moon in the sky surrounded by stars as we ran. Skeleton ran next to me his eyes fierce and his jaw set. I looked behind at Ares who was running at the back of the group next to Private and Fang who fired at the roofs every now and again as we ran. I looked at Zombie who was trying to contact someone for a helicopter. Zombie must have gotten through because moments later a helicopter appeared.

    "Get into the helicopter!" Skeleton shouted just as he and Fang were shout in the sides.

    I froze when i watched them both fall to the ground. Zombie shouted something to me but I ignored him and rushed towards Skeleton as Private ran to his sister. I dragged skeleton while making sure Private was near by and not injured. 

    "You shouldnt have done what you did..." Skeleton whispered in pain as blood trickled down the side of his mouth and his side continued to bleed.

    "No man left behind..." I whispered softly. "And I'm not going to let anyone die here... For Razz's sake..."

    Skeleton smiled weakly as his eyes drifted shut.
    
    "Stay with us.." I whispered as he passed out. "Dont die..." 

    I finally dragged Skeleton into the helicopter and helped Private with his sister. The helicopter took off once Ares made sure everyone was inside. I tended to Fang's wounds then Skeleton's. I did what I could to their wounds and wrapped their sides. I sat back when I was done and watched the city below disappear as we flew into the night. I looked at Skeleton for a moment. His jet black hair looked like silver where the moon hit. His once tanned skin looked faded from the blood loss. Ares studied me for a moment then looks at Skeleton.

    "He will make it kid," Ares said firmly. "He's been through worse. He's a fighter and he wont let go until he knows that he succeded in what he is fighting for."

    I nodded still looking at Skeleton. Will we ever be safe again? I thought to myself as a camp appeared in the distance. Will I find out who I truly am before time and luck runs out? I sat back and stared at the night sky. I knew deep down inside that one day I would have to fight for my own freedom. Which lead to another question, Would I ever be the same again?
