Sorry for the wait!
Ok, like I said: REVIEWS!
Anyway, here's chapter two.
If it's rushed, I'm trying my best….yup
Disclaimer: I don't own PJO, I only own H.F. and Mori and my other characters :)
Third Person POV
"You can't do this, Mori!"
Nico and Percy were trying desperately to stop Mori from leaving camp to go to the House.
Did I mention they were failing miserably?
Mori had already dug out her duffel bag and was now throwing her belongings in, angry at her boy friend and best friend.
She hisses, "It's not your decision, Nico! They offered you a spot too, but you said no!"
Nico's eyes slant. "Because camp is my home! And it's yours too!"
She scoffs. "They're forbidden, Nico. So are we! We belong there, not here," She continues to shove stuff in.
Nico growls. "I cannot believe you! Camp gave you a home! A family! And you're just gonna throw it away and leave us? Leave me? You're worse than Bianca!" He stormed out of the room, leaving Percy and Mori dumb-founded.
Percy quietly says, "You know, Mori, he is right. I know you don't want to hear this, but camp is your home. You shouldn't just leave. What about Reis? What about…what about all of us? Carrie? Stella? Me? Annabeth? Nico?" He turns and walks out.
She knew he was right.
She closes her door and locks it, making sure to put a chair under it to keep Aeron out. She had found out long ago that his girlfriend is a daughter of Hermes and taught him a trick or too. She sits on her bed, her back against the wall.
She sighs and closes her eyes. "Dad?" She whispers. "I know we haven't talked in a while, but…I don't know what to do. The House wants me to join and…and I want to but…I don't know. I guess I just don't have the heart, you know? I can't just leave Nico. He already lost his sister. But, I mean they did offer him a spot! I mean…just…" She sighs, eyes still closed. "What the Hades am I supposed to do?"
"I can't decide that for you," She jumps and snaps her eyes open to see her father.
"I don't know what to do, dad. I mean, the House is forbidden, just like me. But…but camp has my brothers and my friends and my family and…" She sighs. "Cant you just tell me?" She whines.
Thanatos laughs and shakes his head, sitting next to her on her bed. "No. Just think of it like this; if you go to the H.F., you'd be with your own kind. But you won't be able to convince Nico and Perseus. They have their own reasons. If you stay here, nothing would change…"
She nods, still unsure. Her blue and black bangs hang in her face. She looks her father in his eyes. "What if I…I wanna change."
He cocks his head. "Change?"
She nods, excited. "Yeah, instead of blue…maybe, I don't know, get like purple or something." She sighs again. "Do you think you could tell Raven and Bliz that I need another day to decide?"
Her father nods. "Of course." He disappears, leaving nothing but the faint smell of a dead rose.
That's what all children of Thanatos smell like: a dead rose. Some found it weird, though Mori and her brothers found it quite pleasing.
Mori sighs again.
This was going to be a long, long night.
It's 3 A.M. and here Mori sits on the beach.
If Nico doesn't go, I don't go, right? I mean I'm not going to leave him; not after what he went through with Bianca, She thinks to herself.
Oh, gods.
She jumps up and runs as fast as she can to the cabins. She doesn't even bother knock, just barges in to the Hades cabin and jumps onto Nico's bed, tears streaming down her face.
She shakes his shoulders, sobbing, "Nico! Nico!"
His eyes shoot open to see Mori's shaking figure. He breathes, "Oh, baby," He wraps is arms around her waist and lays her down beside him. Mori buries her head into his chest and cries as he strokes her hair.
"Shh, Shh," He tries to calm her and gently pulls her from his chest, laying her on his lap. "What's wrong? Is it our fight? Please don't cry about that,"
She shakes her head and sits up. "It—It's not th—that," She chokes out, still sobbing hard. "I—I can't lose y—you and I alm—ost did,"
His eyes soften and he lifts her chin, looking her in the eyes. "Baby, you will never lose me,"
She nods and lies on his chest, drifting to sleep.
It's sunlight that wakes Nico up. He rolls over, careful not to wake the sleeping form of Morisana Crasse. Her black hair is newly dyed with purple streaks instead of blue. Her pale skin is still white and her eyes are puffy from all the crying last night. She's wearing her black jean shorts (the ripped ones from when she was in the cell), a Student + Dying = Studying! T-shirt (again, Google :), her black, beat up Converse, and her black hoodie. Her hair's down and covers her shoulders. With her new color, which I'm sure she got Travis or Conner to get her, she looks even more punk and scary than before.
Nico's almost positive that was her goal.
He rubs his eyes and has to close them a couple times before he can see the clock.
Holy! It's almost 7!
If her brothers catch Mori in my cabin, I'm dead! He think to himself.
He gently shakes her shoulders. "Mori," He says quietly. "Mori,"
Her black, blue rimmed eyes flutter open. She smiles slightly when she sees her boyfriend. "Hey," She says, sitting up and stretching. Her smile fades. "Oh, gods. Last night…" She trails off and buries her face in her hands.
She sniffs. "I uh…I'm gonna go on a walk, ok?"
Nico nods. As soon she closes the door, he jumps out of bed and looks in the mirror.
He blushes.
She came in to his cabin at 3 in the morning and all he was wearing was black boxers and a black v-neck.
Shaking his head, he throws on a pair of black skinny jeans, a black t-shirt, his black Vans. After brushing through his hair with his fingers, he heads to breakfast.
"Hey, Nico!"
Aeron runs up to Nico at the rock climbing wall.
"Hey, man," He'll take any excuse Aeron's got to get out of climbing. "What's up?"
Aeron sighs. "You seen Mori? We got two new campers and I just got a feeling she needs to see them. I don't know why, I just—"
"Looking for me, big bro?"
Aeron jumps a foot in the air and Nico laughs as Mori steps out from behind the wall, smirking. Aeron holds his chest. "Gods, Mori! Never do that again!" She laughs and he rolls his eyes. "Both of you, Big House. Oh, and Bliz is there, Mori,"
Her face falls and she nods.
When Nico and Mori get to the Big House, all they see is commotion. Chiron, Annabeth, and Percy are yelling at Bliz, Raven, and another guy. Mori racks her brain until she remembers what Bliz had called him: Tank. The son of Zeus.
Two little boys sit huddled in a corner, hair covering their faces.
They continue to argue. Mori rolls her eyes and raises her fingers to her lips; a long, loud whistle pierces the air and they all go silent. She nods, satisfied. "Thank you. Now Chiron, what's this about?"
Said centaur sighs. "Two things. One we will deal with later," Mori noted that he sent a glare to Raven and Bliz, who just smirked. "The second, however, is we got two new campers," he makes a gesture to the little boys.
Mori shrugs. "So?"
"So, they haven't spoken to anyone since they got here,"
Mori eyes the two boys. They both look about seven with peppery brown hair and tan skin. Mori slants her eyes. "Erik? Brian?"
Both boys' heads jerk up and smile at their older sister. They both spring up and tackle her in a hug. "Mori!" They both yell.
She kneels and holds their shoulders. "Where's Dina?"
The twins hang their heads as Erik says, "Dinny's…gone,"
Mori gasps.
Chiron stares, confused. "Mori…you know them?"
She nods, on the verge of crying. "These…these are my little brothers,"
OH! Cliffy! Well not really….Oh, shut up:)
