Chapter 4- A troubled god in denial
As soon as the words came out of my mouth Davis burst into fits of laughter. I stared at him in shock then threw my hands on my small hips.
"What in Hades underwear is so funny!" I screamed, but of course my statement caused him to laugh even harder. Finally he pulled himself together enough to speak.
"There is no way I am a god! I'm just a teenaged kid for crying out loud! Gods are powerful and well….quite scary sometimes which I am not." He stated while meeting me eyes with a serious yet amused expression. Before he could react I grabbed his wrists and met his eyes with seriousness.
"Listen to me! You have NEVER met either of your parents, no one has EVER even seen them, and your eyes are orange. How do you explain that?" I questioned. He simply shrugged at the thought.
"The fact no one has ever seen them isn't that weird, it happens with lots of kids…." Godly kids I thought. "And with the orange eyes, well it could be some medical condition for all I know!" Now I was convinced the kid was just scared with the idea or just didn't want to believe me.
"But Davis! I know what I saw, you didn't! The symbol of Aphrodite AND Are's appeared above your head! That means you are a god! Of what, I don't know yet but you are!" He shook his head back and forth, suddenly understanding what he was….at least I hoped so. Before waiting for an answer I grabbed his hand and started pulling him towards the strawberry fields in search of a Styr.
"Where are you taking me?" He asked with annoyance in his voice as I dragged him along, we got a few curious glances from passing campers but I figured crazier things happened so this was nothing. A few seconds later we came to the long stretched out fields of growing strawberries and Styrs tending to them with their magical reed pipes. Among those Styrs was my old friend Grover (A/N Sorry for the interruption but keep in mind that this is BEFORE Grover disappears in Sea Of Monsters. I don't want any flames bout it!) I then dragged Davis over to the witty Styr that had crazy curly brown hair, big brown eyes, and a small goatee made of matching curly brown hair. At the sight of me Grover's smile widened.
"Hey there shorty! What can I do for you?" Grover then swept into a deep bow similar to those after productions on Broad Way. I let go of Davis's wrist and after shooting him an expression that said 'stay or die' I turned back to Grover.
"Davis here has just been claimed by Are's AND Aphrodite, making him a god, yet he doesn't believe me. So what exactly can you say to him to well…..convince him!" I asked, Grover set his pipe down then walked….or whatever Goats do….and sniffed Davis a few times, earning himself a weird expression from the god (well that is the god in denial.) After a few moments Grover stood up and nodded hastily with a smile on his kind face.
"This boy is a god no doubt about it! His sent is so strong it's ridiculous! Of course it's stronger than yours Holly since he is in fact fully god… do you understand what I'm saying?" I nodded and opened my mouth to speak but was so rudely interrupted.
"Can we please stop talking like I'm not here!" Davis exclaimed, the fire returning to his eyes. Nearby a patch of strawberries suddenly burst into flames. Quickly a few Styrs put the fire out and cursed in Greek about working hard on those but that wasn't important at the moment.
"Calm down Davis." I hissed to him. "Grover I'm going to take Davis here to Chiron, he will know what to do." I then grabbed Davis's wrists again and hulled him to the archery range, keeping my shield up while walking through the line of target. As soon as I reached Chiron I quietly stood and waited to be addressed to. Barley a second later he lowered his bow and looked at me with a smile.
"Anything wrong my dear?" He asked with that kindness that would always be found in his voice, yet another reason why everyone at camp loved him so deeply.
"Chiron, Davis has just been claimed by Ares and Aphrodite both…I know because I was the single witness and….." I quickly told Chiron the complete story of what Davis had told me to what I had seen with his eyes and the glow, all leading up to the symbols and exploding strawberries. Throughout my whole story Chiron simply nodded with the occasional 'uh huh….yes I see….hmm..' once I finished telling the story I took a deep breath and looked for his reaction. His lips were pulled into a tight line while his eyes sparkled with curiosity.
"Well I suppose Hephaestus won't like this at all! In fact he might even hate your guts Davis…. Well I suppose we should get to Olympus to straighten all this out, and while we are at it we should learn what the means of all the darkness it." I nodded and looked back at Davis who was fairly white.
"Chiron, if it wouldn't be too much of a hassle may I come as well? I mean the darkness may have something to do with MY mother." I quickly said in attempt to save Davis from being all alone with all the gods. Chiron sighed.
"Yes, I suppose, we won't be gone long anyways….a few hours at tops. But remember Holly, you are just a girl. You can't always save the world."
