"That sounds fun and all," Seth said, blocking me "But I think I’ll pass"

The Titan was on the porch one second and then in a heartbeat he was right in front of us Seth swore violently as he twisted, but even he--as fast as he asn’t fast enough

Hyperion cocked his head to the side "You are rather… boring for a deod, but your father’s scent is all over you"

Instinct propelled me into action I spun around and took off between the vehicles Where was I going? I couldn’t leave Seth I could circle back, and then what? Screa, Hyperion was in front of an backpedaling

One side of his lips curled up "Don’t run It’s rude"

Forget that

Whirling around, I ran back to where I caht there Shrieking, I couldn’t stop in tiht off his rock-solid chest I fell back, landing on rin on his face "It’s also pointless to run, little one I am a Titan"

I scra as he casually strode forward His ar his hand into my hair Fiery pain erupted over rasped at his thick wrist and dug my nails in

He didn’t even blink as he lowered his head "Do you kno long I’ve waited for this?" he asked, and a silver color flashed across his black eyes "Thousands of years I’ve been trapped with nothing but the thirst of vengeance to keep me sane" He jerked his arm, and my back bowed as he leaned over me "Well, the sanity part is up for discussion" A warasp "You don’t even knohy, do you?"

"Hey, Hyperion"

The Titan drew back, lifting his head The tugging sensation eased off as I slu in deep breaths Wet warmth ran down the front of my throat He’d scratched me

"Yeah, you Asshole" Seth stood there, one hand curled around the handle of the dagger A trickle of blood ran fro I’d expected soI around on ainstache as I liftedtoe to toe
