Wheeler1 – No problem! I was late reviewing on yours too _
ArcticFox319 – I will, lol, and thank you for reading!
hoOPJO – Your welcome! I loved your story and I am glad you decided to read mine :)
My mind is reeling with the story's that my mom told me about the gods. They are real and I may have one as my father I have never met. If he was a god, why didn't he save me while I was with my uncle?
Hatred boils in me as I lean on the wall across from the seven teens.
"So, which parent was never around?" Percy asks me, rather rudely. Annabeth smacks him on the arm.
"I have never met my dad." Leo starts to speak but I stop him.
"My mom died six months ago." I swallow and look at the ground. My last six months have been hell and I really don't want to think about it.
I feel everybody's eyes on me.
"What kind of abilities can you do?" Annabeth asks to stop the silence. I shrug and look down.
"I have never done anything really special. I am just average." Percy smiles and looks at me.
"I thought the same thing but then I found out I have cool water powers." I nod my head and fidget with the hem of my shirt.
"Who is all your parents, your god ones I mean." I speak up while still playing with my new shirt.
Piper stands up and comes to lean on the wall next to me. She starts to point to each while talking.
"Sparky over there is the son of Zeus. Frank is the son of Ares – er – Mars. Seaweed brain is the son of Poseidon, wise girl is the daughter of Athena. Casper and Hazel have the god Hades for a parent. Hot head is the son of Hephaestus." All of them are giving her weird looks, I am guessing because of the nicknames.
"Do not call me Casper." Nico has a grimace on his face and Piper gulps.
Nico leans off the wall and walks to the door. I look at his figure and realize how skinny he is, like he never eats or something. I end up looking into his eyes and see some emotion I can't tell just yet in them. He walks out, mumbling something like night watch.
I stare where he was, just a few moments before until I feel a hand on my shoulder. I whirl around and take a quick step back, eyes wide and shaking.
Piper raises her hands up in surrender, although I am still on edge.
"I-I think I need to G-go." She nods and turns to hazel. Hazel smiles and starts walking to the door.
"Come on Angel, we need to find you a room." I don't move and she looks back with a worried expression.
"Angel?" I rub my arm and sigh.
"Can I walk by myself? I will answer more questions later." Looking around for permission, everybody nods and Leo stands up. I widen my eyes when I see my IPod in his hand.
"You found it? Thank you." My hand is shaking as I edge closer and take it back. He smiles and shrugs his shoulders.
"It was nothing. I modified it too; don't want any monsters catching the signal." He starts to grab stuff out of his tool belt and fiddling with them. I catch him by surprise and hug him.
I let go after one second and back away. I notice him blushing and mumbling but he continues making whatever he is making. Everybody else is looking at me and they finally turn away to talk with each other.
Walking out, I look up and down the hallway. I make soft steps walking on the wood flooring. I come to a door with a bathroom sign and open it.
I find myself staring into the eyes of a scared, no make that terrified, girl. Somehow this girl is me.
My hair is longer, ending almost at my waist. It is a bit darker then the light brown it used to be. My eyes have surprisingly changed from grey to pale white with a dark black acid-like circle on the outer edge of them.
My face is older looking and I now have a white scar, barely seen but still there, above my eyebrow on the right side.
I then look down and realize I may have grown a bit, bigger. I did turn 15 in the last six months. I stare at my face a bit longer and try to smile. It turns into a frown and I have to turn away before I start to cry.
I walk down in an open space and find I am on a flying ship! I gasp and sit down before I fall. I hear chuckling and look up to see Nico sitting up in the mast. I glare and watch him come down to stand next to me.
"I see your settling yourself nicely." He sits down next to me cross-legged. I look and see he has an IPod too.
"What do you listen too?" He looks surprised I noticed it. He recovers and scrolls through a long list of songs. Finally choosing, he picks up one earbud and hands it to me.
I gently take it and put it in my ear, hearing one of my favorite songs.
These battle scars don't seem to be fading,
don't look like their ever goin away,
they aient never gonna change,
these battle….
I lay my head on Nico's shoulder and sink into the song. Tired from my past, I fall into a deep sleep.
Filled with nightmares and mixed with reality.
A/N
So, thank you all for reading this story. I know right now it is kinda boring but I promise its getting somewhere! :)
Anyways, I am still debating on if Nico and Angel should be a couple. Or if I should follow the actual story a little bit where he is gay. To all that are wondering, this is in the middle of The Mark Of Athena.
