I'M SO GOOD TO YOU PEOPLE ALWAYS UPDATING WHEN I SAY I WILL, WHY DON'T YOU ALL GIVE ME REVIEWS I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE IT.
Nico's POV
So guess who feels like the worst person in the world right now. That's right it's me. I had a choice I could've just forgot I saw her like she said, for gods sake she practically begged me not to do it, but here I am in the car with her, and Percy driving to Camp-Half Blood, and I'm the biggest douche there is. I don't usually feel to emotional about much, but she's right. She had a chance to live a completely normal life, with normal friends, get a normal job, and be happy like she wanted, but I took that away from her. Percy eventually brings the car to a stop in the strawberry field just outside of camp, and we all get out of the car to walk the rest of the way.
Valerian's POV
I don't look at either of them as I walk past them both. I don't think I'll ever forgive Nico, and he thinks he can hold a grudge. Fatal flaw or not I'm sure I could hold a better one especially in this case. Grudges aren't even my fatal flaw, but Nico will forever be pinned on my hate wall. When we finally get past the boarders, and arrive in camp I lead myself to the big blue house already knowing that is where I should go.
"Why hello there, and who might you be?" The old centaur looked up at me from his cards as I stepped onto the porch Nico, and Percy closely following me.
"Well?" I just looked at him before deciding that if I want to do well here I might as well talk to him.
"I'm Valerian Adams." I said giving him a curt nod.
"And what brings you here?" I scoff at his question. Like he didn't know.
"Well this moronic heartless asshole of course who else?" I said gesturing to Nico. Chiron frowned at my words while the man in the Hawaiian shirt laughed a bit at this.
"I'm sorry Chiron, but as you can tell I do not want to be here, and I wasn't really given much of an option, so please excuse me if I can't refrain from using such crass language when in the presence of the one who has doomed me." I said sarcastically. Chiron didn't seem to like this much.
"Join the club sweetheart." The Hawaiian shirt man said. Ah, he's Dionysus.
"Sorry Dionysus, but I have a feeling I want to be here even less then you do."He nodded at this then turned back to his cards and scowled obviously someone didn't get a good hand.
"Well I'm sorry to hear that Valerian, but we will try our best to make you feel welcomed." I looked at him confused.
"You don't know?" Now he looked confused.
"Know what?" So these bastards standing behind me didn't even tell the old guy what they were doing.
"That I'm the girl of your prophecy." Chiron looked at me shocked, Dionysus glanced at me once then returned to his game.
"How do you know this." I looked between him, and the boys then back at him.
"Did these two really not tell you they were coming to get me?" He shook his head, and I laughed.
"Well then I'll let you in on a little secret. I was living a normal life, happy as could be when this... thing." I gestured to Nico.
"Decided he wanted to get all snoopy in my personal life. My father is a demi-titan and my mother is a Goddess."
"Which goddess is she." I smiled at this.
"Well I'm sure she'll let you know when she's ready."
"So you know who is in your lineage?"
"Yep. I know that, and that I don't want to be here, or in your little prophecy." I said popping the 'p'.
"I wish there was something I could do." I laughed coldly at this.
"You could always let me just go back to my life, and pretend like I never existed." He seemed shocked before he could tell me that he couldn't do that I said, "Don't worry. I know you wouldn't do that. Wouldn't want to offend the gods or anything just ruin a young lady's perfectly happy life. Totally worth the sacrifice." He frowned once again. Accepting defeat he turned to Percy seeing as I wasn't really taking to Nico.
"Percy would you mind showing Valerian around, and taking her to the Hermes cabin."
"Yeah sure. Let's go." I walked swiftly past Nico once again with an air of disgust directed at him following Percy down the stairs, and started walking towards the cabin area.
"Valerian-" He began.
"Val. You can call me Val." I interrupted him. He nodded.
"Val. You shouldn't be so hard on Nico." I looked at him and raised a brow.
"Now why would you say that?"
"Because trust me if anything. He did not want to bring you here. He only brought me along because he was afraid that if he didn't bring someone with him he would have chickened out." We had stopped walking, and he was looking me straight in the eyes.
"I'm sure that all true, and I bet that just makes him all the better for doing it, but let's get a few things straight. He was the person who has now ruined whatever life I could've had. The only chance any demigod could have at normalcy and he took that away. I know you have your girlfriend and your friends, but don't you sort of wish you could get away from all of this Demigod business? Don't you wish you could have friends and a girlfriend that you didn't have to worry about going on a quest and never coming back? Don't you wish your mom didn't have to worry about you going on a quest and never coming back? Don't you wish you could have and actual father-son relationship with your dad, but you can't because he is a god? Honestly Percy I had all of this. I had friends, family, and a future without any of this, and you expect me to just be 'easier' to the person who ruined that all for me?" He stood there looking at me blankly much like Nico did when I said the same thing to him.
"I didn't think so." I began to walk away from him not willing to deal with any of this. He caught up though.
"Listen forget I said that, but can you at least understand where he is coming from by doing it?"
"I do, but if I was in his position I wouldn't have done it either way." We stayed that way for a while just staring at the other until I looked away.
"I miss them already you know?"
"Miss who?" We started walking around the camp once more.
"My friends, my dad, my teachers, my school. Nothing will be the same anymore. I tried so hard to stay away from this, and now I'm it's main attraction."
"I understand what you mean."
"Sure you do."
"No really. I remember when I first came here. My mother was taken away from me, and she was the only person that I loved my whole life, and then it turned out I was a son of the big three, and then I was part of the big prophecy, and had to fight in a war at 16."
"I know Percy. You have gone through a lot, and I applaud you for being able to do that and stay sane." I smiled a bit.
"But the thing is. In this prophecy I'm supposed to bring Olympus to it's breaking point the res-erect it to make it impossible to overcome." He smiled sadly at me.
"Yeah, it seems like that, but it could be figuratively. If not then know that you've got people behind you. Nico sure is whether or not you like it, and I guess you could count me in too."
"Thanks Percy, but that's not going to make me like my situation any more." He thought about it.
"It could make it a little more bearable though." We laughed at this.
"Oh sure it will. So, what cabin am I staying in?" I asked forgetting where exactly I was going.
"Well you'll be staying in the Hermes cabin unless you want to tell us who your mom is, or wait until she claims you."
"Well I guess so. I'll tell Chiron tomorrow I don't have anything with me, and today has been pretty long." He nodded his head in understanding.
"Yeah, come on let's go get some dinner." He said while walking towards the dining pavilion.
"Can I sit at your table?" He looked at me shocked.
"It's just I don't really want to sit with the Hermes kids no offense, but I don't really know them, and I think I would be better off sitting at your table."
"Well I'm not sure. Technically your not allowed to, but my dad is pretty lenient with friends so I don't see why not." He smiled.
"Thanks again Percy. I just don't know if I'm really ready for all of this. It's all old news, but completely new at the same time."
"You'll get over it trust me." With that we headed to the dining pavilion where I ate with Percy. Afterwards he walked me to my cabin where I got settled in. Travis and Connor were definitely a force to reckon with. Somehow though I was able to fall asleep, and tomorrow I will move into my actual cabin, and face the craziness that comes with it.
