thanks for
commenting again stars15963: I love Nico to, but I decided Nico and Will was better, I still might change it.
All rights to Rick Riordan.
Its been three weeks since Leo, Jason, and Piper left. Nothing has happened here. Luckily
the bronze dragon, Fetus, was captured. So flying is now possible. With Nico gone, I've been talking to Lacy and Clarisse more. Heck even the voices. Which I have found out are people in Elysium or above, but mostly Elysium since the people in Isle of the best couldn't possibly spend time talking to a lower being like me.
I decided that talking to Chiron to see if he would let me go to the underworld. So I was walking toward the big house. I found him sitting on the porch.
"Can I go to the underworld?" I state hoping that he would just say yes.
"Are you asking me permission to die?" He said looking up. His eyes wide with a worry.
"No, no. I just want to go down there and see if I can get my father, or maybe Hades to help me." I said.
" Well I can see that. But its a long way to the underworld. And who says your father will have time to help you and maybe Hades wouldn't want to." He says.
"Well I can always find out more. I would have areas to fly without worrying about people overacting that I'm rubbing it in their face. Beside I want to learn about the ghosts that talk in my head." I beg him.
"Ghosts in your head. What do you mean by this?" He asks me.
"Oh well, a few ghosts from Elysium like to talk to me. All of them in Elysium and The Isle of the Best can. But only a few do." I explain.
" I'll let you do this…" He starts and I smile but it quickly fades. " If you take two people with you that are older than fifteen to make sure you don't get hurt."
"Not to go against you word Chiron, but I perfectly capable of protecting myself. And I could get there a lot faster flying by myself." I say trying to keep the bitterness out of my voice.
"Yes but we can't risk harming coming to you. Your the first child of Thanatos to be claimed that I know of. I have no idea how your father would react to me sending you out on your own." He says sounding like he isn't taking no for an answer.
" Also I will go and ask permission from Hades, and Persephone. She should like you for the most part. She and Thanatos get along. Not as much as other gods but she should be happy that he found a women that he liked."
"Do I get to pick these people who come with me?" I ask him.
"I'll pick one and you'll pick one. Fair" He then says.
"Fair."
"I'll tell you when I've gotten a response, you'll leave three days after so be prepared." He says.
"Thanks Chiron." I call behind me as I run off. Thirty seconds later I leap into the air. My wings beat. Up. Down. Up. Down. Up. Down. Up. Down. Soon enough I'm nearing the arena.
I fly over the edge and into it. I land beside Sherman who is watching Clarisse and one of their siblings.
"You know the entrance is over there, Right?" Sherman said not even looking away from the fight.
"Well I thought this was a better entrance," I say as Mark walks over.
"You're here for the usual reason I presume?" He says.
"Of course she is Sherman, I mean come on how would her day be complete without seeing me?" Mark pipes in wrapping his arm along Sherman's shoulder.
Then Clarisse and their sister finnish.
" Hey Angel" She says when she sees me.
"Angel?" I say frowning.
"Yep. Whatcha need?"
"Well Chiron approved my trip to the underworld as long as Hades approves. But he says I need guards to take me to the nearest entrance."
"And you want me to be one. Sure." She says grinning," Time out of camp is worth it."
"Chiron's picking the other." I say to her, "I assume that you have to come pick me up in less than a month afterwards.
"Okay, see you at dinner," She says. I Then turn run and jump into the air. I'm never walking again.
timeskip.
I was leaving the dining pavillion when Mark ran up to me.
"You know I would have said yes to you if you had asked me." He said when he reached me.
"What do you mean?" I say frowning.
" To help you to the entrance to the underworld." He says. He almost sounds offended.
"Oh,"Is all I can say, my cheeks must be the color of Rachel's hair.
"What, uh , did he exactly… say?" I ask stuttering.
"That you were scared to ask, so you begged him to ask me." He says looking down at me.
"Oh, so uh are you gonna umm come?" I say holding my breath.
"Of course, one a chance to get out of camp for awhile, two family time with Clarisse and three time with you, Clair." He says getting excited.
"Thanks, " I say jumping forward and hugging him. I hear someone whistle at me and him but I ignore them.
I walk around a corner and then look back once I'm in the shadows. Sherman and Mark's siblings that are male have surrounded him. They were obviously teasing him, but a small smile stayed on his face.
No I'm not starting to like Mark.
I can't.
I wouldn't.
I must be.
And my walls came crashing down.
Nothing could have stopped them.
I fully let everyone in.
No more hiding behind a wall.
I only see the present and future.
The past is behind me
