I was annoyed. I was annoyed that Percy, who was only visiting from New Rome, and Jason were keeping me at the campfire. I was annoyed with the songs, and I was especially annoyed with a certain son of Aphrodite named Rev. He took Will from me. Will Solace, son of Apollo, the most perfect boy on Earth, with his striking blue eyes, his perfect blonde hair and his amazing smile.
Just as I had thought that we had something. The day I was going to confess my feelings to Will, Rev came and suddenly, Will had a new boyfriend, but that was a year ago.
I must have been scowling pretty hard at the memory, because Jason asked me what was wrong.
"Nothing." I told him, glaring at Rev from across the campfire. "Nothing at all."
"Then why-" Jason started, only to get interrupted by Chiron, who had walked up infront of the fire, stopping the singing mid-song.
"I have gotten a message from the gods." We all gasped.
"They have told me of a special girl in Texas that must be brought here by two demigods. I need volunteers to go pick her up and bring her to camp."
Nobody raised their hand. I turned to just in time to see Rev whisper something into Will's ear. Will smiled and stood up.
"I'll go." He announced. Everyone started whispering to one another. Will never volunteers to go on quests. Not that anyone does, but he never volunteers to do anything that involves fighting.
"That's one." Chiron raised his voice. Everyone stopped talking. Will sat back down. Rev started wispering something else into his ear. I took this chance, and I stood up.
"I'll go too." Everyone went dead silent.
"Man," Percy whispered, "What are you doing?"
"I believe, Percy, that he is going on a quest." Chiron must have heard his question. Percy's ears turned bright red.
"Oh come on!" Rev stood up. "He can't really go can he? He's a child of death. He will only make the quest harder. He will attract more monsters. He-" Rev stopped when he saw Percy and Jason stand.
"He," Jason said,"is right there. He is a fighter. He works well with Will. We all know that Will, no offense, isn't a fighter. Nico, however, would be able to protect him."
"What would you do?" Percy continued for Jason. "Use your so called charm to scare away the monsters? We know that you're not a fighter either. At least with Nico, Will would be safer. Now, what were you saying?"
Rev was silent. He looked to Will for help. The blonde finally stood up and spoke.
"They're right Rev. I work well with Nico. You trust me don't you? I'll be fi-" Will stopped when Rev shot him a dirty look.
I got angry when I saw Rev look at him like that. I accidentally shadow traveled Will next to me. I quickly covered up my suprise and said,
"We have to go pack. We will meet you in the Big House after we're done packing Chiron." I spun on my heel and left, and just like that, I found myself on a quest with Will.
