Starcrossed (Starcrossed 1) - Page 366

Helen assumed that Hector was trying to follow him. For a moment,

it looked like Lucas was going to hit Hector, but then he

whispered something that seemed to convince his stubborn cousin,

and all at once Hector calmed down and nodded.

?He looks just like Ajax,? Daphne whispered behind her, her eyes

glued to Hector.

Helen glanced briefly at her mother, then turned her attention

back to the wreck. Ariadne was helping Matt out of his car, holding

him up. He was reeling and bleeding from the head, ash-white and

owl-eyed with astonishment, but he didn?t seem to be badly hurt.

?We should get you to a hospital,? Cassandra insisted as she studied

Matt?s uneven pupils.

?No,? Matt said vehemently. ?There?s no way to explain this.

Normal people don?t get up and walk away after you run them over

with a car.?

They all knew he was right. Even concussed, Matt was a quick

thinker.

?You hit your head,? Jason warned as the Scions shot each other

uncertain looks.

?And I still know what I saw. Look, don?t worry about me, I?d

never rat out a friend, but we have to go now,? Matt insisted. ?Before

the police come.?

?Ari?? Jason asked as he met his twin?s eyes in an honest exchange.

?Is it life threatening??

Ariadne ran her hands just over Matt?s skull, a faint glow coming

out of her palms. ?He?ll be just fine,? she said after a brief moment.

She started to lead Matt toward Hector?s truck, but Matt giggled

and stopped dead.

?Wow. What did you do to me?? He gave her a goofy smile.
