•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•

Scylla was a supernatural female creature, 

She had 12 serpentine feet and six heads on long snaky necks, 

From her lair in a cave, 

She devoured whatever ventured within reach, 

Including six of Odysseus's companions.

I don't want to lie, but being in school was torture. Apart from the fact that we had an unannounced quiz, trying to concentrate while searching for Epimetheus' potential vessel was difficult. I could barely focus on my studies.

The titan was watching, I could feel it.

Once in a while, the white swirls adorning my body will writhe uncontrollably in the form of a caress. It left me uncomfortable, but it also confirmed the titan's presence. My notion was backed up by the continuous message notifications that kept popping up on my phone.

I ignored them, knowing it will only spiral me into a frenzy. No one seemed to notice the silver decorations on m skin, which meant it was only visible to greek beings. The knowledge brought an air of relief; I didn't need to find an excuse every time someone asked.

School went by in a blur and soon we were back in starcrossed inc. We converged at the main club which was a massive building with high walls. A set of disco lights swung from the highest ceiling, displaying flashing colors of red, blue, and purple.

The dance floor was huge and I could hear the bass music as it wafted passed the curtains to the VIP section where I sat. The curtains separated the balcony from the inner chambers. I got to my feet and drifted closer to the red drapes before parting them with a finger.

Past the balcony to the ground floor were greek awakened monsters as far as the eyes could see. The place was even bigger than the previous nightclub. They came in different shapes and sizes. Others were in their human forms while some remained true to their monstrous nature. A few had to use the Phantom ability to hide certain odd features. They writhed against each other as they swayed to the music. It was hard to believe that they all came here at Zion's request.
