Sevenfold: no Chad is Percy's Half Brother
On we go!
Chapter 4
So this prophecy apparently means I have to go one a quest. Honestly I'm scared to death! The last part said something about every mistake means someone dies. I don't want anyone to die from one of my mistake!
Oh sorry right now were filming another gassy sketch.
Ha! Chad thinks he's the best actor ever I'm not even paying attention and I'm doing it all right.
Oh no I'm starting to be like Chad!
Somebody smack me.
"That was great kids now let's do our audience sign off" Marshal announced as we fled the stage after the sketch.
The current closed and we stepped back out, it was Grady's turn to say goodbye tonight so I just smiled and waved.
The lights dimmed and we went to our dressing rooms.
"Tawni what does a quest mean?" I asked her seriously. "I don't want people getting hurt because of me, can't I change it?"
Tawni looked at me like I was an idiot.
"Your father is the one that chose the oracle her prophecy's are never wrong. Unless he has a kid he is hiding it's you." She said bluntly sitting at her vanity.
"Oh who's a pretty girl today!" She cooed to herself.
I wonder how that girl can be so smart sometimes and so, you know I'm not even sure what to call her.
There was a knock at the dressing room door.
"uh hey Sonny, you need to go meet with Mr. Condor." Chad said, was he sounding shy?
"Mr. Condor? Why?" Now I had to worry about this quest and my job!
"It's about your quest." Now I was confused AGAIN! There's a shocker.
"Just come on, I'll explain." Chad said happily, and I followed him out the door.
"See Mr. Condor is well he's a half blood too" Chad said I stopped.
"WHAT!" I shouted in the middle of the hall way. Everyone within hearing distance stopped and looked at me like I was crazy.
"Sh!" Chad hissed grabbing my arm and dragging me forward again. "Mr. Condor is the son of Ares, hence the temper and the need to be the best" Chad whispered, and for the first time I realized he was scared. Then the thought struck me, Ares could be listening I gulped.
"I-I see" I whispered, not that the tone of my voice really mattered.
"Don't be scared of Mr. Condor, he was elated to find another half blood here. After Tawni and I both were hired Mr. Condor was put into his position to protect us if you will. I wasn't kidding when I said creatures like the stone eyed one will be coming more. You've had a lucky run." Chad muttered the last part under his breath but my sharp ears picked it up.
"I'm sorry" I whispered. Chad gave me a look of confusion.
"For what?" I heard the laugh in his voice.
"You seem like you've gone through such a hard time with all this, and I haven't done anything. I can't even protect myself." I added seriously.
He laughed out loud. "That's nothing to apologize for, I'm happy none of this has happened to you." I said honestly looking me in the eyes. Putting me in that trance like he had on his show before. The only difference was there was no acting here, I could feel his honesty. "Facing all of this changes a person." He grabbed my hand interlacing our fingers. "And I'll always be here to protect you" I couldn't help myself I leaned up and kissed him square on the lips.
It was a quick soft kiss, but that didn't stop my blush.
Chad smirked.
"None of the ladies can resist me" He said popping his collar with the one hand that wasn't in mine.
"Do you want me to start? Keep acting like that I definitely will." I said acting serious as I walked ahead of him pulling my hand from his.
"I don't, you know I didn't mean it" He said in that soft voice. That soft hypnotizing voice I fell for every time.
I turned and smiled at him.
"I know, now come on or I really will be fired" We both laughed, and he grabbed my hand again, pulling me closer to his side.
Something scared me about the way he held my hand. It was like he was too scared to let go.
"Now Ms. Monroe" Mr. Condor said sitting at his desk. No matter how many time I heard Chad say that I wasn't being fired through the door, I still felt uneasy in his office. "I hear you're one of us. Is this correct?" he asked.
Meekly I nodded my head in agreement, not really trusting my voice right now.
"Well welcome to the family!" He cheered happily. "now we fight a lot, but that's no need to be frightened give me a hug cousin!" I had never seen Mr. Condor so not angry. I mean happy didn't even cover how he was acting right now.
I gave him his hug.
"I hear you already have a quest lined up. Who are you six friends coming along?" He asked seriously.
"W-well sir" I stuttered. "I don't really know"
His face dropped. "Well let's look the prophecy over, there's always a hint in there." His smile returned.
"Well lets see now, One who is blind but hears all, that would be you" He said reading over the paper in front of him.
"Will meet an old lover and she will fall have any old lovers we should know about?" I laughed for the first time since coming into this office, and Mr. Condor did to.
"Not in time we stand this trial, It takes true love to go the mile. Now I think that would mean Chad. He is you love am I wrong?" Mr. Condor asked.
I blushed, but agreed.
"If the lover fails his quest, a chance the world be put at rest. I have no clue it's just you and Chad again" Mr. Condor said then read on. "Final blows and old goodbye, reunite with enemy ties." I shook my head.
"Not to be like Chad or anything but I don't really have any enemies. Not that I'm aware of at least." There was the honesty, a trait I got from my dad no doubt.
"You'll have to be careful about that one then." Mr. Condor continued on. "Trust not what you sea. Hm it's sea like the water I bet that's Percy's Cousin and Annabeth. She won't let him go without her." He laughed again.
You know I think I could really like Mr. Condor, he was actually really nice.
"Okay, but a field of dead dreams. That would mean Hades children. Nico maybe Skia, but Skia hasn't been to the underworld yet and Nico well it must be Skia Nico is running amuck somewhere." I think Mr. Condor was talking to himself now.
"then well you know the rest." He said with a sigh. "That's not seven, but it is five. Maybe you will meet the other two on your way."
"But where am I going? All this says is I'm going on a journey it doesn't say where it starts." I questioned, lost.
"See, that is what makes quests so fun!" Mr. Condor said. "My quest was finding my father's sacred battle armor someone had stolen it, oh the fun I had at that age." He reminisced. "I do like it here now though" He smiled at me. "I love working with you little half bloods, and trust me I know it's not easy." I smiled at him sweetly.
"Thank you, I never realized you were so nice" I said.
"Now don't go telling anyone outside the circle, those kids need to be afraid." He was back to his serious I'm going to fire you act. I smiled.
"Thank you sir, but I'll need some time off work." I added shyly.
"Now dear, I believe it just happens to be in the two shows schedule that the next to month will be only reruns. Be safe." He said putting a comforting hand on my shoulder. Right then and there, it felt like family.
I turned and left.
"So how did go?" Chad ambushed me in the hall.
"Fine, this quest it isn't going to be easy is it?" I asked looking up at him. He shook his head.
"But I have you" I whispered giving him the sweetest hug. I need that I felt like I was going to faint.
I don't know why I felt so sick.
"One filming left and we go to New York" Chad said. "Percy and Annabeth already went back to camp and my cousin Skia is coming with us."
"Why are we going to this camp?" I questioned we walked towards his set.
"It's Camp Half Blood. A place for people like us, tons of half bloods go there. We need to talk to Chiron about your quest. He will help us" Chad promised.
We entered the doors to his set and headed to his dressing room.
His cast didn't saying anything about us being together, they didn't know we were dating but they didn't question us either.
Chad opened his dressing room door letting me step in first. He's my gentlemen! I froze when I seen a very unwanted person sitting on Chad's couch talking on his phone.
"James?" Chad questioned furiously.
"Look honey I've got to go, no baby I mean were over. I'm not coming to pick you up, I'm not going to see you again. Bye" With that he hung up Chad's phone and set it on his coffee table.
"If it isn't my two favorite half bloods!" He smirked somewhat evilly.
"James what are you doing here?" Chad said seriously pushing me into the room gently so he could get around me.
"You'll be shocked by this, but I've come to ask for your help." James said seriously.
"Liar!" I shouted accidently. "Your only telling half the truth, what else do you want?" I finished.
Chad looked at me a little stunned, but then focused back on Conroy.
"you see my brother he's joined Kronos. I want him back." He said honestly.
Chad looked at me, like he was questioning whether James was telling the truth.
"He's not lying" I whispered.
"I heard about the quest please let me join you, I only want him back. He was like my best friend." James said again 100 percent honesty in his voice.
"Who is your brother anyway?" Chad piped in and asked.
"Luke Castellin" James said seriously, Chad gasped.
Which was weird coming from Chad, but I figured he would explain it all to me later.
"one condition." I muttered. "you leave Tawni alone for good." I said strongly.
Tawni had never been one for true love but James really made her believe in it, until he broke her heart.
"Deal" he said without even thinking about it.
"So we better get packing!" I said happily.
A/N: sorry if this is confusing. Any questions, feel free to ask
