He continued on through the pipes until he reached a dead end, he looked up and grinned before looking back to Clarissa "Up we go" he said as he attached his crutches to his quiver and started to climb the ladder. Moving the grate above him, hearing it screech as it skid across the gravel, Johnathan lifted himself up and helped Clarissa up and out of the sewer, replacing the grate once she was out. Johnathan got up and took out his crutches "We've still got a long way to go, no stopping" he said with a smile towards her. He moved as quickly as he could through the town until he found a gas station, he looked around and stopped seeing a black 1967 chevy impala that looked a little beat down. Johnathan couldn't help but grin like a child on Christmas morning as he ctrutched his way over to the car and lifted the hood "Oh baby!" he exclaimed excitedly "Nearly brand new, just need a few touch-ups but she should run till we hit the next town. You drive?" he asked her as he closed the hood and looked at her. Pulling out a coat hanger from his pack, he straightening out most of the hanger he fed it through the small glass, and into the door,moving it around until he heard a click "Bingo" he said pulling out the coat hanger and tossing it to the ground he searched the glove box and found a set of keys. Taking them out and closing the glove box he got out and tossed them at Clarissa "Lets move" he said opening the trunk and putting his bag and Clarissa's inside. Johnathan went back to the passengers side and got in, putting his crutches into the back seat as he got comfortable "Next town's a few miles over, should be there by night fall" he said as he searched the car. «« ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓

  Clarissa continued following Johnathan through the sewers. Following him up through the grate as they walked through the town. When they came to the car, she smiled at how excited Johnathan looked at the car. Clarissa had a small smile slip through her lips as she watched him. She nodded her head when he asked her if she drove. Catching the keys in her hand, she opened the driver side and buckled herself in. Starting the car and stepping on the gas pedal, revving it a little bit. A small smile spread across her lips as well. Clarissa put her arm on the back on the passenger seat and backed out of the parking lot. Putting the car in drive, she drove down the street at about fifty miles a hour. She kept her eyes open for anything that could be a threat to them. About a hour later, they made it to the next town. Parking the car it what seemed like an abandoned grocery store. She looked over at Johnathan and bit her lip, "Anywhere in particular you want to go or walk from here?" Since Johnathan was the mastermind of the plans, she looked to him for where to go. And of course, she would go with him, she felt safe around him and that was a bonus. "I'll scope put the perimeter to see if anything is a threat. Stay here and I'll be back." Clarissa popped the trunk and grabbed her bow and quiver. Jogging with an arrow readied to shoot anything or anyone that came running up on her trying to kill her. She came across a few dead hell hounds and other Kronos' creations. Whoever came through already killed them monsters. Was it another group of demi-gods who weren't under Kronos' control? Were some of them Athena's children? A small beam of hope lit inside Clarissa and she was ready to find out. She ran her way back to the car. Getting into the driver seat, she tossed her bow and quiver into the back seat. Catching her breath she looked over at Johnathan. "So whoever or whatever came through here before us has killed hell hounds and other Kronos' monsters. So that's a plus, but I don't know if it's a trick of Kronos or if the doing was done by actual demi-gods who rebelled against him." Clarissa swiped a hand across her forehead and looked around some more while sitting in the car.

Well there was something. Johnathan shook his head "Nope" he said nodding when she said she'd scope the place out. Johnathan sat in the car in silence as he waited for Clarissa to return, he turned to the left and noticed the bushes rustle a little, he raised a questioning brow 'Did they just?...' his thoughts were cut off when Clarissa jumped into the seat beside him and told him someone had been here "Well, lets just hope their with us verses against us" he said as he got out of the car. «« ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓

Clarissa nodded her head in agreement as she got out of the car again. "Let's just hope so." She grabbed her bow and quiver, still to make sire nothing would attack them. Clarissa looked over at Johnathan, "Do you need some help or are you okay with walking by yourself?" She was worried about him, he did break his leg and it would be harder to walk with just some crutches keeping you on your feet. Clarissa followed behind Johnathan as he walked the direction she recently just came from. "This whole path is covered with dead creatures, so just watch where you step."
ooc: omg sorry for this horrible post. I didn't know what to put.

Johnathan walked along side Clarissa who currently was their only chance of being safe, she was the only one with a weapon because Johnathan couldn't carry crutches and his bow and quiver. Johnathan spotted a building, he scanned the area before turning to Clarissa "Lets try there" he said motioning to the building with his head and he started to crutch his way towards it. «« ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓

Clarissa smiled softly when he winked at her, but something inside her felt different when he did so. She quickly shook away the knots forming in her stomach and looked to where Johnathan was pointing too. "Stay behind me and I'll scope it out." Quickly making her way inside, she stuck to the shadows just to make sure nothing or no one saw her. Clarissa started making her way upstairs, she jumped up onto the top stair and had an arrow ready to shoot anything. The coast was clear. She looked back down at Johnathan. "Coast is clear." Once her back was turned she got hit with an arrow in the shoulder. Her hand instantly went to the wound and she crumpled to the ground in pain. Clarissa was slurring a couple curse words. She then looked up and saw some other demi-gods--not knowing if they were good or bad.

▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ✓You Are What My Dreams Are Made Of »» Johnathan nodded and let Clarissa take the lead as they walked into the building in hopes of finding a place to rest. Johnathan was looking around when they reached a set of stairs, Clarissa insisted that she go first so that she could make sure the coast was clear. He nodded and watched as she had her bow ready, hearing the coast was clear he was about to climb when he heard Clarissa and the sound of something hitting the floor. Johnathan's eyes widened as he rushed up the steps and took her bow and an arrow pointing it at her attacker "Don't move" he said in a serious voice as he knelt beside Clarissa and helped her up as he turned to the other demi's "Lets us go and I won't be forced to hurt you" he said in the same serious tone. Johnathan was not about to let anyone of these Demi's kill Clarissa, or harm her anymore. Johnathan watched as one of the demi's drew their sword and rushed him, he ducked and kicked them square in the stomach gentle setting Clarissa down in the corner as he stood and covered her "Now look fella's, you can stay or go. You're choice" he said 'Kronos goons' he thought to himself. «« ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓

Clarissa put her hand on the bottom of the arrow and ripped it out from her shoulder, which was now a small hole in her. Once Johnathan moved her to the corner, she ripped a strip off of the bottom of her shirt and tied it tightly around her arm to stop the bleeding. Clarissa looked between Johnathan and the other male who shot the arrow at her. "Wait.. are you part of Kronos' or no!?" her question was a mix between a yell and an order. He looked at her and pointed his sword at her as well. "You tell me first. Are you part of him?" Clarissa squinted her eyes at him and glared at him which was more like a death glare. "You're going to answer me because I won't hesitate to cut your head off with your own sword." He raised an eyebrow at her and took a small step forward. Clarissa stood up and ran at him, grabbing the handle of the sword and pulling down on it. Once she had a grip on the sword, she slid between his legs and has his sword pointed at him once she stood up. "Now I told you once, I'm not afraid to cut your own head with your own sword. Now answer my question; are you part of Kronos' goons?" The male looked behind him where Johnathan had her bow readied with an arrow to shoot at him. "I swore to Kronos'. Kill me if you want, but don't be surprised when more come after you because Kronos will win this war and all you rebel Demis will be dead." Clarissa let out a small hiss from her lips and plunged the sword right into his chest where his heart is. She twisted it and he gasped for a breath. His face went pale and he fell forward onto the sword more. Clarissa backed away as the body fell and her shoulder felt like it was on fire. She put a hand on her shoulder and looked up at Johnathan. "It had to be done," she whispered. Clarissa then rolled over the body and took the sword from his chest and laid it on the ground. She then started to drag the body no matter how much it hurt her shoulder. Once on the balcony of the apartment building. She pulled the body up and tossed it over the railing. Walking away, she walked back into the building and sat down on the couch. Clarissa put a hand on her shoulder and rocked back and forth slightly, trying to forget the pain.

Johnathan sighed when the male claimed to be part of Krono's army "W...." he started, but stopped. What happened next Johnathan could not have foreseen, he watched as Clarissa drove the other Demi gods chest as if it were nothing, he watched as the tip of the sword appeared on the other side of the male's body before Clarissa dropped his body and kick it over as she pulled out the sword. Johnathan was more horrified as he followed Clarissa and watched as she threw the body over the ledge, his eyes where wide and alert as he watched her take a seat on the couch. Johnathan couldn't get the images out of his head as Clarissa's voice echoed over and over in his mind 'It had to be done' he heard as he slowly sank to the floor and shut his eyes tight and shivered trying to shake off the feeling that was crawling up his spine. Johnathan sat for a few minutes before he got up and crutched over to the door "I..... I'm gonna go to the car....." he said walking out before he could hear her response. Johnathan reached the car and looked at the trunk, he could leave, and after what he just saw he was sure he was going to as he made his way to the trunk and opened it. But when Jonathan thought about it, who would protect her if she was alone? He sighed and closed the trunk and walked back to Clarissa. once her reached the floor he walked over to her and sat next to her, pulling the skirt cloth from her wound, he cleaned it and bandaged it properly before wrapping his arms around her and stroking her hair "How you holding up?" he asked her softly. «« ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓

Clarissa knew Johnathan was terrified, so was she but she had to be brave. She always had to be brave. She watched as Johnathan left thinking he was going to leave her. Once he was out of the room, she broke down crying. She put her face in her hands and the tears flowed heavily from her cheeks. She just killed someone innocent. Even though he was evil and part of Kronos, he was still innocent. Clarissa rocked back and forth trying to forget the horrible images that haunted her memory from just a few moments ago. And she knew, she would never be able to get rid of them. Clarissa heard a voice and her head shot up, she felt to weak to fight anyone off and if it was part of Kronos' army to avenge then person she just killed, Clarissa was just going to let it happen. She looked up and noticed it was Johnathan, so she quickly wiped at her wet eyes. But she knew he would notice her red cheeks and her glossy eyes since she was crying. "I'm fine I guess," she said with a small sniffle. Clarissa looked at Johnathan as he started to attend his shoulder. "You don't have to do that. I'll be fine.." she mumbled. Johnathan was probably scared of her now.. but who wouldn't be if you saw someone drive a sword through someone's heart and then just threw them over the balcony. Clarissa sighed and put her face in her hands again.

Johnathan knew she had been crying, it was written all over her face and worst in her eyes, he couldn't help but feel like he abandoned her, he just held her and waited for her to let go, so that he could be her for her, like no one had been ever since the world went to s**t and everyone was left all alone in the world. «« ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓

Clarissa shook her head at Johnathan. "If I'm not going to be brave, then who is Johnathan? We have to be as brave as we can be to beat this hun." She sighed. Clarissa unwrapped herself from Johnathan's arms and walked towards the small kitchen. She ran a hand through her brown hair and stood in the kitchen. "Do you want something to eat?" Clarissa started rummaging through the cupboards and found some spaghetti sauce and pasta noodles. Looking in another cabinet she found two pots, grabbing them and filling the one with water. After that she put it on the stove and when the water boiled, she poured the box of noodles into the pot. After the noodles were boiling, she looked again for a strainer and dumped the noodles into the strainer that was in the sink. Running the cold water on the noodles, she put the noodles back in the pan and heated up the sauce. Turning the burners off she leaned up against the counter and closed her eyes. Behind her eyes flashed the horrible scenes from when she killed the male. Clarissa opened her eyes and jumped back from the counter a little bit. She put her hands on her cheeks and took a deep breath trying to calm down. "This is horrible," she mumbled quietly to herself. She then ran her hands down her neck and left them there for a minute. Taking another breath to regain herself, she called out to Johnathan. "I made spaghetti for dinner. If you want some, I'll bring you some." Clarissa found a plate and just grabbed a bowl for herself. Finding a spoon and two forks, she scooped out some spaghetti and put some on a plate and some in a bowl. She took the plate and fork to Johnathan. "Here." She had the bowl in other hand and sat down on the opposite end of the couch and just twisted her fork in the spaghetti and couldn't really eat. Continuing to twirl her fork in her food, she set the plate aside and went into the kitchen and started pacing back and forth.

Johnathan just starred blanked faced at the place were Clarissa had disappeared from, he blinked and just shook his head. When Clarissa walked in with the spaghetti he shook his head and stood with his crutches "Not hungry" he replied before crutching over to the kitchen "I just need some time to clear my head" he said barely audible as he walked towards the balcony. Slipping out into the cool midday air, Johnathan took in a deep breath and crutched over to the ledge, he leaned on the railing and just looked out at the other buildings and the deserted city. He sighed and leaned his head down, letting them rest into his hands as he tried to think about what their next move should be. He found a chair and took a seat, looking around the small balcony, trying to see if there was anything useful around. Seeing nothing, Johnathan just leaned his head back and starred up at the sky 'Now what J?, what do we do now?' he thought to himself as he closed his eyes and tried to come up with a list of what they needed, to keep his mind busy. «« ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓

Clarissa watched as Johnathan got up and left the room. Watching him walk back onto the balcony, she walked back inside and took the plate and bowl out to the kitchen. Dumping the uneaten food in the trashcan, she rinsed the dishes off and went back into the living area. Sitting on the couch, she pulled her legs up to her chest and she ended up just sprawling herself out on the smaller couch, leaving the longer one for Johnathan. But before she could even attempt to sleep, she had to find pillows and blankets. Clarissa stood up and went to the closet that was in the room and to her luck there were pillows and blankets in there. Grabbing two pillows and two blankets she closed the closet door with her hip. Walking over to the two couches, she dropped one pillow and blanket on the smaller couch and then walked over to the longer couch, she put a pillow on the end. Unfolding the blanket, she laid it out on the couch and pulled it back a bit so he could get into the blanket and then cover himself up. Doing the same to the other couch, she looked out a window and saw the sun was starting to set, but she couldn't sleep knowing something was wrong with Johnathan. Clarissa walked through the house and out onto the balcony. Leaning on the railing and looking up at the sky, she didn't know what to say so she stayed silent and just looked at the setting sun. Johnathan was one of the few people to keep her alive and she glad she had him with her, but they both kept getting into trouble with the other side and Clarissa wouldn't be able to keep this tough girl act on forever.

He listened to her walk over to the ledge and lean on it slightly, the sound of her clothes brushing the ledge as she leaned in it. He waited for her to say something, but hearing the silence he could tell something was up "You okay?" he asked her, looking from the sky towards her figure. He watched her, they way her back arched as she leaned forward, and the way her hair fell on her back and shoulder, he couldn't help but admire the girl that stood before him. He could see the distress on her face, and it didn't suite her at al. She looked like the type of girl who should always be smiling, he couldn't help but grin at the wrinkle between her eyebrows when she was deep in thought. «« ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓
