OK OK this is so late I'm cringing. Sorry enjoy and please review!
Chapter 6
Apollo watched Zeus with confliction. If Zeus has claimed her then he must know about his daughter… Although after Kronus and the Percy kid, nothing Olympus was right. What if Zeus knew? The truth should be told, for the girl's time was limited and even Zeus himself could not stop it. Apollo started to turn round but it was too late.
"Apollo? What is it?" Zeus boomed, from his study.
Apollo cursed his luck, oh well it was time to lie or come clean. Oh he really didn't want to feel Zeus's wrath considering how that went last time.
"Zeus, there is something I need to about newest girl at that camp." Apollo started.
"Hmm yes so? What about her?" Zeus replied suspiciously.
"Well you claimed her as your daughter." Apollo stated.
"So you bothered me about this? Really I thought it would something far more important." Zeus glared.
"But Zeus another Demi-God? Poseidon and Hades won't like this. Though I do suspect that she could be…"Apollo began.
"Could be what?" Snapped Zeus, he was impatient with Apollo.
"Dying." Apollo finished.
The silence stretched on between them. What could be said to that?
The silence was shattered by the loud booming of Zeus laughter. Laughter!? Of all the things Apollo had expected laughter was not one of them!Apollo watched in confusion at this, for had Zeus really lost all care of his children?
"Apollo, my son. There is one thing about Aella you should know her mother was one of the spirit, I think she was a snow one… or a wind one…Oh that doesn't matter either way that makes Aella not human so she is immortal like the rest of us! So I think you mistaken her mother was clever and hid her but she can die of a measly battle wound." Zeus replied seriously.
Apollo thought this over. Is it possible that a minor God could be dead in a matter of time but that's not possible the Lamia's poison could only kill anything human blood in it. Yes with the less amount of human blood it does take longer but it should take no damage to an immortal. One thing for sure that either Aella mother wasn't as honest as Zeus thought or Zeus hiding something. Whatever it was Aella was going to die and the monsters are up to something again. Though Apollo thought about it, every disease has a cure it's just whether you can find it in time.
Apollo walked out to one of the gardens, but to his surprise he saw Hecate now that is a shocker. Hecate barely spends anytime in Olympus but when she did it was for important things only. She was sat quietly underneath the Old Willow tree as she hummed a tune from old times when the Gods were worshipped and acknowledge. She was stroking a black beast that slept by her side but paid no attention to Apollo who gazed at her waiting for her to speak. Hecate turned around changing her image from the old crone to the young maiden and sang the words in her high soprano vioce. Her thick raven black hair fell slightly past her waist and her wide violet swirled with delight as if she had been searching for him and at last finally found him. She was truly beautiful.
The black beast stirred as she finished her lullaby, its golden glowing eyes glared him, watching, waiting, and starving. It wide mouth opened showing a full set of sharp yellow teeth and it's long pink tongue licked over them. Hecate watched them amused by the beast's attempt of be being fierce.
"Hecate what brings you to Olympus? Have you gotten sick of the lack worshippers like Aphrodite or simply spreading the magic onto the earth world when they only believe in science? Though those Wiccan girls probably keep you entertained." Joked Apollo.
"My, my Apollo you must be awfully busy when night is finishing and you brood of children scattered everywhere. Though foreteller I must say that what lurks in the night are forever becoming bolder and wiser. It seems that even though Artemis may control the moon but the magic of it belongs to me and I must say someone is using it to bring what has gone back to life." She stared at him her eye darkening with disgust. "You know foreteller don't you? It has been decided by the fates. Well Apollo it seems that we will need all the help we can get because when you take magic from the moon and use for ill deeds, that is when the monster are strong enough for to bring forth the might of the titans. I will bring my children for they are needed but I am doing this because the magic of the moon is mine, no matter what Zeus says." Hecate voice had gotten angrier at the thought of his twin being also known as the goddess of the moon. And Zeus said she wouldn't hold a grudge…hah guess he didn't see that coming.
"Until the next time Apollo, farewell." Hecate opened up a bright shimmering portal and her and her beast were gone in seconds.
Apollo sighed, what he would do for a day off.
I glared at the bouncing blond head that was chirping in my ear, does she not stop! By the Gods there should be a mute button on her in early mornings. I mean who can get this much gossip at 6 AM in the morning. Did her mouth ever get tried? Ugh… mornings why?
"Haha not an early riser then Aella? I suppose Kayla's news of today won't help you." Annabeth smile as she dumped her tray onto our table. "You'll get used to it, don't worry."
Kayla frowned at something and turned around to stare at a certain red head that was laughing loudly and pointed in our direction. Once again we were probably the butt of another crap joke she had made. Ugh didn't better stuff to do. Ah well bitches will always be bitches.
"Don't mind them Kayla, what were you saying about…" Annabeth started but Kayla quickly went back into her gossip. Percy and Nico took their place on the table and joined into the conversation about some Roman camp. What I hadn't realized that I'd been staring at Nico again and he was looking at bemused.
"Er… What were you saying?" I stuttered to cover my mistake. Shit, shit, shit. You idiot! Don't staring at him you moron.
Kayla gave me a secret smile filled me in when I'd zoned out and told us that we going to play capture the flag tonight and that she hoped we won't be against each.
"Capture the Flag… wasn't that game you play when you're a kid?" I asked confused we were going to play a children's?
"Oh no we play it slightly differently." Annabeth grinned like the cat caught the canary.
Uh oh this doesn't to good…
