Sup people. Are you ready for the chapter? You thought their quest would be that easy? Think again.
Will's POV
"Well, that's great." I said. We sat there for a few minutes, doing nothing.
Then the door was unlocked. We all turned to the door. Niobe walked in.
"Idalia, darling. How're you doing?" She asked. Idalia's fists clenched.
"I could be better." She said, coolly. Niobe tapped her chin, mock thinking.
"Well, you two." She pointed at me and Idalia. "My kids love what you do with them, so I guess you can be babysitters. But you three." She said, turning to Leo, Nico, and Amara. "I don't need you, you can leave."
Amara scoffed, and took Idalia's hand. "I'm not leaving her." She said, murderously.
"Well I suppose you two could be babysitters. I have something special planned for Will, but the other two? Nothing."
"Excuse me?" Leo said. "I'm not nothing."
"Okay. You can be with these two. Take them away." She said. Two guards came in, and escorted the others away.
"Now." She said, turning to us. "For you two. I've got something planned. But for now, you can just stay here." Then she walked out, and locked the door.
I didn't wait to see Nico's response. I walked over to the nearest wall, and collapsed, putting my head in my hands.
"So much for that." Nico said, sliding down to sit by me.
"Yep, so much for that." I repeated.
"Hey." Nico said. "We will get out of this." How did he do it? He made even me believe that. I sighed.
"Yeah, you're right." I said.
"I know." Nico said, smugly. Then I kissed him.
Leo's POV
The guards walked us down a hall, to a room with five kids.
As soon as they saw us, they ran up to Idalia, trying to climb on her. She laughed.
"Yeah, it's good to see you too." She said. I snorted when she said see. She couldn't actually see them after all. She turned to me.
"You wanna go, Leo?" She asked. "Because last time you got a big head, you were thrown into the ocean." The kids started laughing. I couldn't be shown up, so I took Idalia on.
"Okay. Let's go." I said. The next moment, we were on the ground.
I got the upper hand, but then she kicked my shin, so I recoiled.
"Ow. Not fair." I said.
"Yeah, it is. I won. What's not fair about that?" She asked.
"The fact that you bruised my shin." I said. "I call a rematch."
"No." Amara said. "Act like adults. Honestly you two, where did you learn this behavior?" She asked. Both I and Idalia smiled, like we were sharing a secret.
"You'll never know." Idalia said, evilly. "So, story time?"
"Yeah." The kids gathered in front of us. We sat down, and Idalia started telling them about how she became blind.
"That's awful." Aden said, hiding behind Ben. Ben however looked like a, well, boy, very engaged in the story.
"Cool." He said. "Did it hurt?" Idalia nodded.
"Yeah. You wouldn't like it." She said.
Before we realized it, we were walking back to our room.
When we walked in, we saw Nico and Will doing PDA.
"Ew." I said. "Get a corner."
"We are in a corner, Leo." Will said.
"Should we join them?" Idalia asked Amara.
"Sure." She replied. Then they started kissing, being as loud as they could be.
"Had enough, Leo?" Amara asked after a while.
"Yes." I said. "Can we do something else now?"
"Fine." Nico said, standing up, and helping Will get up. "What do you suggest?"
"How about the A, B, C game?" I asked. They all groaned.
"A my name is Albert, my wife's name is Aspen. We live in Alabama, and we like apples. Ok, your turn, Idalia." Then we finished, ate dinner, and went to sleep.
Sorry for the really short chapter. I wanted to get this in, but didn't want to add it to the next chapter. If you agree with me, comment about it. The HoO 'word' should be never, because of what happens in the end of MoA. It's what Percy says to Annabeth. Just a thought I had.
Peace out.
