Taste of Youth: Chapter 9

Katherine's POV

I remember kyni ̱gó s very well. Kynigos was my best friend ever since we were young but everything changed after he figured out he was a son of Kratos. Kynigos was offered by Kratos a place to live with him and loads of stuff that I haven’t figured out well everything except one. Kratos never gave him immortality. Now Kynigos wants one to find the Fountain of Youth. As Josh heal me I watch in horror as memories began to flow.

“Kynigos, Can I call of Miles instead? Your name is so hard to pronounce.” 5 year old me smiled.

“But Miles doesn’t have anything to do with my name!” Kynigos countered.

“You could call me Marrie if you want. It doesn’t have anything to do with my name.” Kynigos hold my hand then he kissed me in the cheeks.

“Are you okay Katherine?” Josh asked. The memory faded and I was back in reality.

“I’m okay.” Josh left me and went to fight with Kynigos. I watch in horror as Josh trip Kynigos. It might have been years since Kynigos and I talked but I still can’t stop myself from feeling pity for him. Why does this have to happen?

Kynigos reach for the map in Josh’s pocket but Josh manage to stop him. Josh was about to stab Kynigos in the back when I yelled: “Stop!!!!”

Both of them look at my direction and some of the campers stop fighting to glance at our way. They didn’t realize that something was wrong since Kynigos looks like a normal demigod. I decided to ignore them.

“Josh let go of Kynigos. I don’t want you to kill him and I don’t want anyone to die!” Josh let go of Kynigos. Kynigos retreated immediately to the woods. I sigh as I watch him leave.

“ That was a bad idea Kat. He might come back and the next time I might not be there to save you.”

“I know Josh but I believe he can’t kill me. He’s a human you know he also have emotions like guilt"
