Thaila POV
Dove was extremely brave for her age (although not entirely fond of dragons.) I left Annabeth, and never came across Storm after that event. I found Dove sitting along the edge of the sword arena, watching Nico tear apart some straw dummies. Her eyes were dreamy, "Nico is such a good fighter…" I looked away, trying not to smile. Yep, Dove was very amusing. I led her to the Big House for dinner, and let her sit with me at the Artemis table. I'm sure that my father would send a lightning bolt down if she was at the Zeus table, so we played it safe. Artemis never minded visitors.
Chiron started early, and introduced Dove to everyone else. Storm was still gone, but no one seemed to notice, or care.
Chiron stood up, "Ok everyone! Flag football is tomorrow night as usual, and I'd like to introduce Dove….." He looked at Dove for her last name. She shrugged, and Chiron continued, "Dove. Ok-"Suddenly, Dove was glowing a slight shade of pink. Her tangled hair became smooth, and silky. All of the stains on her jeans and t-shirt disappeared, leaving a dazzling white. She gasped, and looked at her reflection in the glass windows. I didn't know what she would say next, but her reaction told it all. She was a daughter of Aphrodite.
She looked at herself one more time, and claimed, "I look hot!"
That made me laugh a little, but the Aphrodite blessing wasn't done yet. Her clothes changed into a white dress, with sleeves that looked almost exactly like feathers. Dove knew what was happening a moment before anyone else. She held out her arms, and jumped into the air. In a shower of feathers, a real Dove was flying through the air, towards the glass windows. She flew face first into it, and bounced back. All eyes were on here now, but she tried again, and shattered the glass. I ran out of the room, hopeful to catch her, but she was gone.
I sighed, and turned around to go back into the Big House, but something on top of the roof caught my eye. I squinted and looked up. Storm was standing there with her fists balled up, watching me. Her hair was swaying in the wind, which seemed to build up more each minute. She didn't take her eyes off me, and surely if I didn't watch her she would kill me. Her hair flickered like a wild fire, and a small flame danced across her head. Then I realized she was a wild fire. Never to be tamed. She turned, and left me alone, but not before showing me the beautiful white Dove sitting in her hand. I ran back inside, and shrugged, "I have no idea where she went."
Chiron smiled weakly, "Ok then, we'll look in the morning." I couldn't tell anyone about Dove or Storm, but I was sure that Percy and Annabeth would help me find them. After all, who's better to tell about the two runaways.
