Taste of Youth: Chapter 77

Chris P.O.V

"Hey Kynigos, how's life?" I said coldly, without any humor in my voice. I didn't know how Kat would react to his presence, so I put my arm around her in a protective hold.

"You are too late." Kynigos said triumphiantly, he raised the bottle in his hand. "I have claimed the water from the fountain for myself! You cannot stop me!"

"I wasn't planning to." I said.

Everyone was shocked by my words. "What did you say?" Kynigos asked.

"I said, I wasn't planning to stop you." I repeated. "I know you want to drink from the fountain so you can live longer. I'm not going to stop you from doing that. What I am going to do, I will have words with you for stabbing me in the chest, after you become immortal."

Kynigos grinned. "I will be looking forward to the fight, Christopher." He raised the bottle to his lips and drank the liquid.

Then he gagged, he fell forward and started coughing.

"Miles!" Kat shouted and broke free from my hold, she ran towards him.

"W-Why couldn't I drink it?" Kynigos asked, coughing between each word.

"You weren't meant to drink it. You were not chosen. Why did you think I did not allow you to go to the fountain?" Kat said.

Kynigos looked at Kat. "So my death is inevitable?"

"Yes unfortunately." Kat confirmed.

Kynigos sighed. "I guess it was a foolish attempt."

I walked towards him and put my hand on his shoulder. "Don't think you not being immortal will change the fact that I'm still going to kick your butt."

Kynigos grinned. "I am sorry for stabbing you in the chest. And for throwing you into the sea."

"And for a sending multi-headed dragon at me." I continued.

"Yes that too." He said.

Josh and Cheyyenne came over. Josh took the bottle and poured it back to the fountain.

Kynigos sighed. "I wished I spent more time with the ones I love rather than chasing a foolish dream.

"Well you can spend the rest of your time, well what's left of it, with friends now." I said.

Kynigos smiled, I realised he would be a good guy to hang out with in better terms.

Then Katherine's scream tore through the peace we had. I turned to see Mystica, holding a knife to Kat's throat.

"Josh! You will marry me or this girl will die!" She exclaimed.
