Hi this is Christos0123, and this is the third chapter. I hope you enjoy (I know sometimes it's short but it's great). I do not own PJO. Please give comments so I may improve it.
Kristine's POV
I was following Chiron to the Big House. I was wondering what he will tell me. Will he scold me or something? Probably yes because his face is confused with anger. We went inside and sat down on the chair (Chiron is in his wheelchair form; Did I tell you Chiron is a centaur, if not, I'm so sorry). Chiron looked at me straight in the eyes.
"Tell me." He said.
"Tell you what?" I asked.
"Tell me about your life, convince me that I should trust you." Chiron said.
"That you should trust me, what have I done?" I said.
"You are a child of Artemis, and Artemis vowed that she will have no children or interest in men. She is…. she was supposed to be eternally maiden. The idea of Artemis having a child is a little, I mean it's quite shocking to us." Chiron said.
"Isn't Athena a maiden too?" I asked.
"They were born to find the Athena Parthenos but since it is already found by Annabeth Chase, they will live a normal demigod life." Chiron said.
I sighed but I told him my story.
(FLASHBACK)
I was at my dad's camping school. My dad is teaching the students how to live in the wild. He is an expert in zoology.
"Dad, may I talk to you?" I asked. Then my dad and his students looked at me.
"Kristine, maybe later. I'm in the middle of our lesson." Mr. Carmen said.
"Dad, you always have no time for me. You always put your work, and your responsibility ahead of me and your family. I guess that's why Mom left!" I said.
"Carla, please take her home." My dad said.
Carla is my father's assistant.
"Dad, I don't want Carla to bring me to school, give me my lunch, and entertain me. I want you to do those things like a father would do. If you won't, I'll find someone who I can call a real father." I shouted and ran away. I had tears in my eyes. I saw Adrian following me as if he was concerned. I liked to stopped and hugged him but I just ran to where my instincts told me. Then a minotaur chased me all the way from home to New York. I didn't see Adrian but I kept running until one night, two shadows moved toward me and killed the minotaur, and the last thing I remember, I heard someone calling my name and I passed out.
(END OF FLASHBACK)
"You're telling the truth," Chiron said at last. "It's late, follow me and I will show you your Cabin."
I followed Chiron outside. We walked past other cabins and stopped in front of a silver building with silver curtains. It glows silver at the night. And it is decorated with wild animals. Chiron told me to go in and sleep. I nodded and he trotted away while I went in my Cabin. It wasn't really special, it was simple but elegant-looking. I slept so that I can regain my strength and I can process everything quickly.
Adrian's POV
I was following Percy to our Cabin. It was low, long and solid, with all the windows facing the sea. The outer walls are rough gray stone with pieces of seashell and coral and look like the bottom of the ocean floor. On the inside it has six empty bunk beds and the walls glow like abalone. It also has a fountain in the middle of the Cabin. The fountain is made out of gray sea rock, has a fish that spouts the water from its mouth, and has a coral decoration. Percy showed me my bed and told me to sleep early because there might be an emergency meeting, I nodded and lay down on my bed as Percy went to his bed. Then I tried to sleep but I kept thinking about Kristine. I liked her from the start. We shared food and ideas at school. When I took her hand this morning, she backed away. Does she hate me? Didn't she liked me after all we did together? Many questions were formulated in my head, many questions were flooding in my head. For the whole night, I wasn't able to sleep just thinking of her. My life will have new problems and bad luck.
