The Grand Escape

Katie's POV:

"Get in!" Travis shouted and shoved me into the elevator as he hit the button for the top floor. We looked down the hall and watched as all the empousai we pissed off ran towards us with fury. I guess that's what you get when you crash a top secret meeting regarding the upcoming war against the rebel cyclopes, who survived the war and are still determined to destroy the demi-god population even through Kronos was destroyed. The door began closing as they approached us but it closed just in time, causing the empousai to screech in anger as the elevator began going up to the 40th floor of the building we were trapped in by a bunch of monsters ready to eat us alive. "You do realize that they're going to take the stairs to get to us right? We know too much about their battle strategy." I told Travis as I leaned up against the wall of the elevator out of breath, receiving only a nod in response. "Why does Chiron always send the two of us on these covert missions? We nearly get killed every time and now we only have one way out of here. We gotta get to the roof." He told me as I looked at him but didn't protest because he was right. After another minute, we finally hit the 40th floor and the door began to open as we quickly exited the elevator. "Come on." Travis said and grabbed my hand, pulling me down the hall as we ran for the stairs to the roof. We burst through the door and hit the railing, looking down to see a bunch of empousai leaping up the stairs and jumping from railing to railing. We took off to the stairs on our left leading up and ran up two flights till we got to the door leading outside, pushing on the bar as we realized it was locked. "Oh gods." I muttered as Travis placed his hands on the bar and tried to unlock it. "I've never worked with this kind of lock before. I'm going to need time. Only a few seconds at most." He said as I sighed and took off my ring, laying it in my palm as it grew into my celestial gold sword. "Well, time is something we don't have but I'll hold them off." I told him as he nodded and took off his backpack so he could begin working on the lock. I turned around and leaped down the whole last flight of stairs, landing right in front of an empousa as she hissed and lunged at me. I blocked her with my sword and threw her to the side, causing her to tumble over the railing and fall to her death as she screeched. Another one came at me as I stabbed her in the ribs and put my foot on her stomach, pushing her off my sword as she disintegrated into gold dust. One more tried to stab me with her dagger but I dodged and round-house kicked her in the stomach, sending her flying down the stairs as she tumbled into other empousai and they all fell. I suddenly heard a door swing open and I looked up to see Travis waving for me to come up as I began running up the stairs. I bolted up the stairs as he grabbed my hand and pulled me outside, closing the door behind us as he shoved a steel bar that he found in the handles to block it. My sword shrunk back into my ring as a sudden pounding came and we backed up away from the door, running over to the edge of the roof and scanning the city streets below us. The door suddenly burst open as multiple angry empousai came flooding onto the roof till we were completely surrounded. "We've got no way out." I said under my breathe as Travis gave me a look that I didn't like.

Travis's POV:

"We've got no way out." Katie said quietly as I smirked and raised an eyebrow at her. "You've got nowhere to go, preciousssss daughter of Demeter." An empousa hissed as Katie glared at her and I stepped even closer to Katie, ready to make our grand escape. "Well, we've got one way to go." I said as I looked at Katie and her eyes grew wide, taking a step away from me as I smirked. "Travis, no-" She stated as I lunged at her and scooped her up, knowing there was only one way to get her off this roof. "TRAVIS ALEXANDER STOLL PUT ME DOWN!!!!!" She screamed as she kicked and thrashed in my arms, almost making me drop her but I swung my arms forward and threw her over the edge of the roof. "TRAVISSSSSS!!!!!!" She shrieked as she plummeted towards the streets of NYC screaming. An empousa screeched and leaped at me as I whipped back 3 throwing daggers, hitting her and the 2 others behind her as they poofed into gold dust. "Hasta La Vista losers!" I said and tipped my pretend hat, opening my arms wide as I began falling backwards over the edge. I watched as the empousai ran to the edge and looked down at me, shrieking in anger as I turned around and dove towards Katie screaming a few feet below me. Her hair was blowing in her face as she reached for me and I grabbed her hands, pulling her into my body and she wrapped her arms around my neck as we neared the ground. I wrapped my arm around her waist and I pulled the string attached to my backpack as my mini but effective parachute opened up. She screamed as we jolted to a much slower speed but not slow enough. My winged shoes deployed as we slowed even more and landed on the ground in an alley with more speed than I anticipated, causing me to trip forward as I brought my arms up to protect Katie's head. We rolled across the ground and got tangled in the parachute till I stopped us with Katie underneath me, allowing me to cut us free from the parachute and get
up so I could help Katie to her feet. "Travis Stoll, if you EVER throw me off a building again, I'll-" Katie started yelling till I grabbed her face and kissed her slowly, causing her to freeze for a few seconds and I pulled away from her as she stared at me dumbfounded. "You're gorgeous when you're mad but we survived, didn't we?" I asked as I smirked and she grew redder than a tomato, tucking her hair behind her ear as she looked away. "Uh yeah....yeah, I guess you're right." She said sheepishly as I laughed lightly and grabbed her hand, pulling her out of the alley and we ran for the nearest bus stop to go home. I know finally asking her to be my girlfriend before a war isn't the greatest idea so let's see what life has planned for us if we survive this war. 😉
