Twenty-One

A/N:
Seven more chapters left :') can you believe it?

Olivia's POV:

Lydia anxiously knelt down onto the floor, brushing her hand across the statues of what used to be human hunters that laid in the middle of the school hallway.

"So...we're facing something that we can't look at?" I grimly ask. "How do we do that?"

"I have no idea." Lydia muttered as she stood up to her feet.

Running footsteps from behind cause us to turn and my heart swells in relief, seeing as it was only Scott, Malia, Allison, Phoebe, and Liam.

Allison picks up her pace and pulled me into a tight hug with a sigh of relief. "I assumed the worse when you didn't pick up any of my calls."

"You have Lydia to thank for pulling me out of there on time." I weakly chuckle before pulling away from her embrace. "Even though I got my ass kicked."

"It did that to them?" Liam asked in slight surprise at the statues in front of us. "Do we even stand a chance?"

"What if we fight it how Perseus fought Medusa?" Phoebe suggested. "Maybe use any sort of reflection against it?"

"I don't feel too comfortable testing out that theory." Allison muttered.

"Then that means we have to learn to fight without our eyes." Scott answered but Malia looked at him incredulously.

"Fight without seeing?" She scoffed. "That means..."

Lydia sighed. "Deucalion."

I brush out my soaked hair, carefully trying to detangle the knots until I look up at Allison's vanity mirror to meet my reflection.

"Mrs. Finch, I'm sorry...but your family, they were attacked...and they're dead." Scott's voice echoed in my thoughts.

"Dead? They...no, they can't be dead, because...t-they were just...they were...they were in the woods. They were just--they were just hiding out." Mrs. Finch's trembling voice chimed in. "They were scared."

I shut my eyes, attempting to block out the noise.

"You killed her!" Mrs. Finch cried out. "You killed my daughter!"

"I knew I recognized you from somewhere, Ophelia." Quinn dryly chuckled. "I could feel the phoenix's instability from a mile away."

"Don't fall for their tricks, child. It wants you to lose control!"

"Baby?" My eyes shoot open out of fear but to my relief see Allison stand behind me, drying her hair off with her towel. "Everything okay?"

I slowly nod with a fake smile, not wanting to add on to more of our worries. "Just in my head, that's all." I reassure before letting out a tired yawn. "And a little exhausted from today."

She walks over to me with a look of concern and I stand to my feet from the chair. She lifts my shirt up a bit and peels back the bandages, earning a sigh to escape from her lips. "It's still not healed yet." She whispered before carefully smoothening the bandages back into place.

"Well I was almost drained from my powers so it's not surprising that it would take a while to heal. I just need to rest." I softly chuckled and raised my hand, resting it on her cheek and using my thumb to pry at her bottom lip. "Or something else."

Allison raised a brow in amusement. "Mind explaining to me what exactly is that something?"

"Why tell when I can show?" I whisper, brushing our lips together but Allison moved back a bit to prevent our lips from connecting.
