The Godslingers X 3: Chapter 22

Stella POV

We took refuge in the Plaza Hotel Lobby.

Quent and Qadira were looking at a Iris Message showing Nadine and her new army heading this way, the army was bigger then the last and Josh was out of comission.

Artemis sat on the couch looking after Jarren McLean.

Andrew stood in the corner, the shadows covering his face but i could tell he was in pain, the cuts he had suffered from Nadine's stygian sword was draining him.

Melody was offering to help him since she was good at that but he refused, saying it would take more then that to kill him.

I was sitting in a deck chair on the balcony, thinking.

Suddenly i heard the door open and Hope walked in, his chest plate was removed and dressings were covering his cuts.

"You ok?" i asked as he went to the balcony railings and sat on them, i know it was dangerous but he's the great granson of zeus.

"I'm fine" he said, not facing me.

I got up from my deck chair and walked over to him "Your scared"

"I'm never scared, you know that" "But you've seen how strong Nadine is now, you can beat her, since Josh is out your our only hope"

"Do you think it'll end when we finish Nadine!" he snapped at me "No we still have Xaviera to do and i bet she's already at Mount Othyrs kicking the ass out of your Grandad and all the other f**king Titans! it will never end, conflicts will never end! never for a demigod"

"Hope..." i tried to touch his shoulder but he shrugged me off.

I tried to talk to him but i finally gave up "Fine be that way!" I stormed off, tears in my eyes and i could tell Hope was crying too.

Wow just the sort of conversation you need before a battle
