It happened so fast that even spectators like Valencia or Romeo didn't know what just transpired. One second Persephone was waving at her with a small smile playing on her face, and the other, her eyes widened, making her freeze on her spot.
The road was empty and no vehicle or person was in sight when she stepped to cross the road, however, just as she was to take another step, a vehicle came from somewhere, freezing Persephone due to the intensity of fear that she just felt at that moment. Before she could come out of the stupor and run to save her life, she felt the vehicle running over it.
"Percy!" She heard a shriek.
At this moment, She felt someone's strong arms wrapping around her waist and the next moment, she felt herself lying on the pavement, not seriously injured at all. Her head was hit against the concrete but the hit wasn't enough to make her head bleed.
However, the same couldn't be said about the man who just saved her life.
