"There's a disturbance. I feel it," Macavity's eyes were wide open, scanning the area. "The shadows- I cannot tell..."
((Oh, those monsters are such trolls... Pick one to jump out at them~))

"What do you mean?" Damien asked, puzzled.
A manticore bounded out from the shadows, towards the two boys. It's tail was poised to strike at any moment, waiting to be a bit closer first. It made a roaring/man screaming noise as it rushed at its prey.
Damien's eyes widened as he jumped up from the ground, and spun on his heels to see the creature now in front of him.

The quick movement from the shadows and from Damien shocked Macavity at first, but every pore was screaming 'danger'.
"Oh gods, I wish I had a knife. Freaking Brooklyn," he muttered, bolting up to stand beside his boyfriend.
It was a manticore, with the body of a lion and a gruesome humanoid face. The tail, full of sharp spikes that could be hurled like arrows, was pointed towards them threateningly. The darkness child reached into his back pocket, hoping against all hopes that he didn't forget his smokebombs at camp.

The Manticore pounced at the boys, and Damien rolled out of the way. He dropped any of the bags he had been carrying and starting trying to find his Apple of Discord. He was pretty sure he left it on his bed, but you never know...maybe he hadn't forgotten it somehow?

Damien had rolled out of the way, so the manticore only had him in the way. Macavity panicked- there was only one smokebomb on his person.
He only had one shot, and as it leaped at him, Macavity closed his eyes and willed himself to sink into the shadows around his feet.
It had missed,but narrowly, and he opened his eyes again to the scene, smokebomb in hand.

Damien watched as Macavity melted into a shadow, the manticore missed him and landed on it's feet. The agitated monster turned and made a hissing sort of noise, waiving it's tail around threateningly. Watching his boyfriend nearly get maimed practically three seconds after they became a couple? Needless to day, he was enraged.
"Oi! Ugly!"Damien shouted at the monster. He remembered his child hood for a brief moment. being chased and attacked all the way home when he was 15...no...not here, not now..he could afford a flashback later. Right now he had more important things to focus on..
Too late! The beast was up close and pounced at Damien. The blue eyed teen took out a celestial bronze dagger from his pocket as the monster pinned down his left arm. Razor sharp claws dug into the demigod's shoulder, stainibg his shirt with blood and causing him to shout out in pain. Damien stabbed the creature in it's leg, pulling outward to slice the tendons in the creature's leg. The beast was heavy and the claws were fixed into his shoulder deep. Damien was unaware that the Manticore was about to use it's tail to strike at the child of chaos, and either wound him badly or end up killing him.

Damien's dagger had spun out of reach and Macavity found himself reaching toward it. As he approached, he saw all of his boyfriend's blood on the pavement.
Anger bubbled up through his veins, and the tail whipped round his head menacingly. It poised to attack Damien, its claws not enough to kill him.
That was when Macavity did something stupid; he tackled the monster's side. The manticore was taken aback, and they rolled out into the deserted street.
Claws raked his sides and back, fangs were dangerously close to his face, but the darkness child did not care.
Damien was more important- he would be able to subdue the chaos they both felt was coming, but Macavity... He would just try to protect Damien as much as he could.

Suddenly all the weight of the beast was lifted off of Damien's body, and the pain in his arm sharpened as the manticore had tried to keep it's grip on the boy. The child of chaos was in a daze, confused and losing blood. He turned his head and saw his boyfriend clingjng to the side of the monster as it attacked him. It took a while to process in his mind what was going on. When the actions finally registered, Damien rolled onto his stomach and pushed himself up with his right arm. He got to his knees and then forced his legs to stand. He needed to start spending more time at the training arena.
The blue eyed teen felt a tugging in his gut, noises from buildings got louder, wind kicked up a bit, birds were sqwaking and screatching, diving at eachother and humans. People walked into the street, screaming and shouting at eachother, breaking things. Damien ran towards the Manticore yelling defiantly before jumping at it. The manticore paused for a second to see its surroundings before the beast had a chaos demigod on it's face. The manticore roared in anger, now it's focus on Damien instead of Macavity. The monster clawed at damien's legs, having trouble reaching higher onto it'sbown face. Damien closed his eyes tight, not believing what he was about to do. The demigod ripped out the monster's left eye.

Macavity just stared: Damien was clinging to the manticore's face, eye in hand, blood pouring out of the monster's empty socket. It was a turn-on, in a gross kind of way.
The people and animals around them were in chaos, was that Damien's power? He was jarred out of that thought with a roar from the manticore.
It's mouth was wide open, his smoke bomb was in hand... He shoved his hand down its throat. Not smart, kid, his head whispered.
Gagging, the monster tried to remove the foreign object, the smoke bomb, from it's mouth... but the bomb was already ticking down.
The noise kept growing; he was sure to go deaf... Macavity grabbed Damien, pulling him off the thrashing, grotesque creature, screaming "CLOSE YOUR EYES!!!"
He curled protectively around the younger man, preparing for either the monster's death or his own.

Damien was unable to focus anymore, things were happening so quickly around him. He recognized Macavity's voice telling him to shut his eyes, and he obeyed his boyfriend's demand. The Eris camper closed his eyes tightly and felt someone wrap around him. He heard something loud like an explosion, and wondered what had happened.

Macavity instantly relaxed at the sound of the explosion. He smiled into Damien's shoulder, but the pain of all the deep cuts hit him at the same moment.
Grunting, he released his boyfriend's shoulders and stared up at the stars. "D-damien? I think we're going to take the short way home tonight. I'll do it even if it kills me."
He reached for the other boy's hand, gripping it tightly. Smiling, Macavity closed his eyes, ignoring the dying noises surrounding them. "It's gone..."

The pain in Damien's legs and left arm had dulled by now. His eyes fluttered open to the sound of his boyfriend's voice. The child of chaos stared at Macavity for a while before speaking. "But, you're tired, and it took alot out of you last time we took the short way..." He said to the darkness child. "And what about the chocolate...?" He added.

Macavity looked at his boyfriend with love in his eyes, and concern, smiling. "The chocolate will be fine."
He thought for a moment, turning his face to the heavens once more. "We won't be... If I do this, at least you will be safe. If we walk... we may have no blood left to give."
A sigh escaped his bruised lips. "We'll be in sooo much trouble."

"True...but i think the trouble was worth the adventure...and its not like it was all bad...besides, I know a girl who has some ambrosia and i'm sure we can find someone to patch us up and keeping quiet about it. Maybe we can hide this..." Damien said. He yawned, tired from the battle and clinging to consciousness(sp?). The blood loss was taking a toll on him and the chaos demigod's vision was going blurry. He remembered his blood type, and it was on his blood doner card in his wallet.
"Can we send an Iris message to someone? Someone who can bring a pegasus? or a chariot or something? That way we can get back to camp without you getting exahusted...." Damien suggested.

"Yeah... I think Ara might be up... She likes checking on the night-time growing plants..." Macavity trailed off, tiring.
He looked at Damien, who was about to pass out, or so it seemed. Panic grew inside him, and it showed...
"Don't you dare fall asleep. I'm calling her right now, just don't fall asleep." Fishing around in his pockets, Macavity looked around for a rainbow of some kind.
Luckily, or unluckily (depending on your viewpoint), a fire hydrant had been smashed through on one end, spraying the open road with gallons of water.
Muttering, he produced a drachma from the massive pocket. "She's just gonna hate me even more now... Sorry, Ara..."
