Chapter 6

Apollo went to the next archery lesson, happier than usual.

She loves me right?

Oh… I don't know about that…

Aphrodite….

YES! WELL AND TRULY YES!

OH GODS I have never realised how good it felt to be in love!

When were you in love?

I fell in love with a musical instrument.

Oh right. HA! I forgot about that

But still a musical instrument –

TREE

What?

IN FRONT OF YOU! TREE!

Apollo swerved his Maserati and hopped outside. A single scratch was visible on the door.

"NO! OH GODS NO!"

"Apollo?" Artemis appeared out of nowhere.

"ARTY! MY BABY! MY BEAUTIFUL MASERATI!"

"Can't you change into an actual chariot for once?"

"ARE YOU CRAZY? THIS IS MY FREAKING COMPANION!"

"Ok, how about a Ferrari?"

Apollo looked like he was about to have a heart attack.

"DO NOT INSULT MY MASERATI!"

"Ok, what in Hades' name is the problem?"

"There is a scratch on the door! A SCRATCH!"

"Guys and their chariots." Artemis mumbled under her breath. She waved her hand over the scratch and it was gone. Apollo stood up suddenly and hugged Artemis.

"THANK YOU ARTY, THANK YOU ARTY, THANK YOU ARTY! How can I ever repay you?"

"Don't call me Arty. And Fyi, you can do it yourself."

"Ok, lil' sis!" He hopped back in and drove off leaving Artemis.

"I'M THE OLDER ONE!" She yelled after Apollo.

Percy was practically running to archery. Some Aphrodite girls had gone all out wearing mini skirts and a full makeover and perfume that made Percy choke.

Apollo was waiting, already with his own bow in his hand. Choosing a target, we went into starting position and he came to inspect.

"Percy! What in Hades' name are you doing?" He put his mouth right next to her ear.

"Relax, let go of all tension. You free Friday?" He whispered.

"Yeah, I think so." Thalia smirked. She could hear everything.

"How about Dinner, Movie and something special?"

"Why not?"

"Aphrodite will bring the clothes. Pick you up at 6. That's better!" He said the last part so everyone could hear. Thalia smirked at me and Percy smirked back.

"Seaweed Brain." She whispered as she hit the blue area.

"Pinecone Face." Percy said hitting the bull eyes.

"Whose it with?" Sally asked Percy as soon as she said she was going out.

"Just a friend."

"Do they have a name?"

"He does, but you can find out for yourself!"

"Is this he from Camp?"

"You could say…" She wasn't exactly lying. Apollo is her Archery teacher, or was.

"Ok, have fun. Paul and I are going to the writing course together."

"Have fun!"

Friday night, Percy was both dreading and excited.

At 5pm, she was worried. Aphrodite hadn't turned up. Finally, at 5:30 Aphrodite knocked on the door. She was wearing a pink dress with a golden belt. She smiled at Percy.

"First Date!"

"I am too nervous!"

"Oh quiet now, everyone is nervous on date night."

Aphrodite dragged her to her room. She had only a clothing bag.

"SO what am I wearing?"

"This!" She proudly produced a red velvet dress. It was ruffled at the bottom with a side slit for my left leg. There was a simple silver chain with a seashell locket and the piece of jewellery that Percy loved the most.

A pair of dolphin hoop earrings. She was admiring the delicate detail that had been put into the dolphin. The eyes were the same shape, the fins and tail the right length and of course the mouth. It was too beautiful to explain.

"Right, no more gawking. Time to get changed!"

Aphrodite always produced some body oils, hair oils and a bottle of mist.

"After you get changed." She told Percy who had reached for it.

After stripping and having a bath, Percy had her all her clothes put on. Aphrodite went crazy with the shoes and got matching red velvet flats with diamonds on the tip.

After she had her clothes and jewels on, Aphrodite did her hair. It was a braided bun with little curly bits coming out. She had a black head clip she used to keep it in place. When she turned around for Aphrodite. She sprayed some mist. Suddenly Percy was back in a long black dress. It had slits showing her shoulders and patches of glitter.

"It's for dinner, so you don't look really obvious." Aphrodite explained.

At 6pm, Apollo knocked on the door. He had gone all fancy, wearing a tuxedo and had a bunch of roses.

Percy answered. She looked so flawless in the velvet dress. She smiled at him nervously.

"How do I look?"

"Amazing, flawless, beautiful, stunning-"

"Ok, you look like Finnick Odair."

"That's all I get?"

"Well you do!" She looked at roses and smelt them.

"They're beautiful!"

"So the roses are beautiful and I'm Finnick Odair?"

"Do you even know who he is?"

"No…"

"The Hunger Games, Catching Fire?"

"What are those? Game shows?"

"Nevermind." She rolled her eyes and linked her arm in Apollo's.

"Dinner was lovely!"

"So, what movie do you want to see?"

"There isn't anything that good… And the movie I want to watch isn't in cinemas."

"What do you want to watch?"

"The Artist." She said in a dreamy voice.

"It's possible." They walked into the theatre; Apollo bought two tickets to a sappy romance film the complete opposite to The Artist. They walked in with a jumbo popcorn and medium Cola. Suddenly, after all the ads and everything Percy sat down in a position for her, ready to sleep. Suddenly, the opening music for The Artist started to play. He ears perked up and she sat in an interested manner. Apollo laughed.

"Mist is used in many ways!"

"Wow, this is completely amazing!"

"But this is a theatre where only gods and demi-gods can see. Even mortals who can see through the mist can only see when they are with gods or demi-gods."

The movie was amazing as it always was. She was hanging on to his arm till he went to bring the chariot around. Alone, Percy had a hand on Riptide. Suddenly, her world went upside down. He hands were pinned to the pavement. On top of her was a god, she knew because of the golden glow around them. She felt his tongue lick her lips. She tried to scream but he silenced her with a bruising kiss. The mist was vanishing and soon mortals began to realise what was happening.

"SOMEONE CALL THE POLICE!" The god didn't move. A few men tried to pull him off but the good was too strong.

Apollo, help me. Please.

Suddenly, out of nowhere Blackjack and the Sun Chariot came Percy's way. The god already ripped her of her velvet dress and was making his way up. She felt his hands touch her lady parts and she thrashed around. She yelled, screamed but the god pulled her hair. She screamed and hollered in pain. Her eyes were closed and her hands were beginning to ache. Apollo didn't know why he needed to but he was racing towards the spot where he had left her.

Where is she? Behind was Aphrodite riding Blackjack. Apparently, Blackjack knew Percy was I trouble and Aphrodite sent for him. Coming closer, he realised she wasn't standing. Apollo saw a man, a god most definitely, but whom?

He then realised who he was on top of. He slammed the accelerator. The sun was setting quite quickly and the mortals didn't understand, but Apollo didn't care. He pulled his bow and an arrow out and let it fly. The god disappeared and the arrow pierced Percy in the neck.

"OH GODS NO!"
