'Her of all people! You chose to cheat on me with her! You don't even like Aphrodite girls!'
'Ileana, wait! Im sorry, I don't know what I was thinking!'
'That's right, you don't think. Everyone was right about you. Including Thalia. But I trusted you, and you let me down. How sad.'
'You can't leave, it's too dangerous! I care about you! I love you!'
'If you love me then what was going through you're head when you were with her?'
'I don't know! I wasn't myself then!'
'Of course you weren't, every other time you were then? And who are you because I don't even know anymore Nico. Leave me alone, I don't want to see you again. Im leaving camp. I hope you're happy now because you're never getting me back.'
I woke up from my dream. Well, not exactly a dream, a vision of the past. Two years ago actually, and I was doing fine without camp. My eyes were open, but I was still tired. I fell back asleep, this time, no dreams came. Someone called my name. I ignored them. They called again, the voice was familiar. I shifted my position, they called my name again.
'no.' I said stubbornly and turning the other way. They kept calling my name,
'Leave me alone.' Again, they kept calling my name, I recognized the voice this time, but I wasn't fully awake.
'Go away … Nico.' They stopped calling my name. I groaned and pulled the sheets over my head. The name calling thing started again,
'Ileana, wake up. Ileana!'
'Shut up Nico I said GO AWAY.' I realized what I said. My eyes shot open. This can't be happening; he didn't know where I lived. He sat down on the side of my bed and shook my shoulder.
'Get up Ileana.' I stayed motionless, hoping that he would think I was dead. It didn't work as usual, but hey, I gave it a shot. I ripped off the blanket, grabbed my trusted sharpie marker (my sword), some clothes and my hairbrush and went to the bathroom. Nico followed. I was home alone, my mom was at work, and Mason was at camp. See, he's my twin brother. We're both kids of um … Oceanus. Yeah, titan lord of the sea so that makes the gods our half siblings. Fun hey? I walked into the bathroom as Nico got to the door; I slammed it in his face and locked it. I turned on the shower, I heard him walked away. I made sure that there were no shadows big enough for him in the bathroom, because that would be awkward. After I showered, I got dressed and dried my hair (all I have to do is tell it to become dry and BAM!) put on some make up, and walked back to my room. Nico was lounging on my bed reading through a project on Greek History I had done for school, all in Greek of course.
'Not bad.' He said casually putting it down on the bed. I put my stuff away and walked out of the room without a word. I walked downstairs to the living room and turned on the TV. Nothing good on, but there was a biography on the gods. Coincidence right? I started watching and listening to the facts they had about Artemis, id run into her a few times when I went to Montreal. Yeah, I live in Canada. Her hunters and her had been chasing a hydra down towards Mt. royal when my school was there. I had to make a 'Bathroom stop' to go help. That was a funny incident when I came back with a big hole in my shirt from hydra poison, too bad i took a dip in the Styx with Percy. That was fun to explain. Anyways. Nico sat down beside me on the couch, id considered joining the hunters a few times, but I just couldn't do it. My focus was on the TV when he spoke,
'Im sorry.' I kept silent.
'I was wrong.' Silence.
'She used me to get an Apollo guy.' Still I kept silent. I wanted to see how far he would go.
'I miss you. Camp misses you. Even Thalia misses you.' Id seen Thalia with the hunt, sure she missed seeing me, but she knows where I live.
'Noah misses you too.' Noah was my best friend at camp, she is a daughter of Demeter, but she's awesome at sword fighting, almost the best at camp which is unusual for a Demeter kid. I talked to Noah all the time with I-M (iris messaging), almost every two weeks. I kept waiting.
'I miss you. A lot. Please come back to camp. I … I got a quest. And you need to come.' I gave up the silent act,
'Tell me the prophecy.'
oOo
Okay. I need help with a prophecy since they aren't my strengths … please help! I need at least two ideas before I can update. Thank you (:
