The Truth
By: luv-Nico
Not gonna say it.... Oh, fine. I DON'T OWN PJO!!!!

"Turn around." she ordered. I turned around. It was almost time to use my knives. She quickly started adding pressure to make me bleed. I whipped my knives out of my sleeves and disarmed her lazy grip in a light swing.
"What now? Allison?" I asked. She screamed. I rolled my eyes and put my knives away.
Kids flooded into the cabin, wondering what I did. "I mearly disarmed her and asked 'what now?' and she screamed." I shrugged. Nico didn't buy my story. 'Whatever' was my only comment to would he take her side?

The next morning I woke-up early and went to the beach with my stuff. I sat crying while I waited. He took his sister's side for no apparante reason. I didn't want to go now. I found out we had to destroy an evil ghost in the underworld or something like that, so it made no sense that I was going. A daughter of Apollo in the Underworld? Uh oh! And, Hades hated me and his son, let's just hope he hated this other thing more! I turned on my MP3 and started listening to Tik Tok by Ke$ha.

Wake-up in the mornin
feeling like P-didy
Got my glases
I'm out the door, i'm gonna hit this city.He walked up at that moment; me crying and singing Tik Tok at the same time.I nearly punched him, but changed my mind at the last second. That would just give him more reason to believe Allison. Nico reached towards me and I expected him to hit me, but instead he pulled one of my ear-phones out and put it in his ear.
It wouldn't have been that bad.... If I hadn't just changed the song to Realize, by Colbie Caillat.... But he wasn't amazed or anything.... In fact, the weirdest thing happpened; he smiled when he heard the song. I took the earphone back gentley.

"So...." I said.
"Yeah...." he answered.
"I didn't-.... I'm...... I-....... Errrr......."I stammeredand couldn't say anything. Nico was just too perfect; I couldn't yell at him for agreeing with her. I couldn't be mad at him; he was too much like me.... Different....
"Let's go." he suddenly seemed mad.
I nodded; it was all I could do.I walked a few feet behind him. Kids watched us walking through windows, out doors, or just standing in front of their cabins. I heard them whispering. They were whispering loudly; deffinitly what they were saying was meant to be heard.
"Shut Up!" I finally yelled. We had been walking for about 5 minutes; with people whispering that whole time, non-stop.
Allison was smiling, "What's wrong Jan? Pressure make ya snap?" Everyone was watching me.
I smiled. "Oh, no. Does that happen to you? Maybe you and Nico here can work on it together-" he was begging me to stop, but I wouldn't. He desevered it- "You're lucky I didn't have my sword and Nico didn't come in with me, bitch. Otherwise, your trap was worthless. I'm stronger then you. You know it. I know it. Also, remember Allison, you can't fight the truth. Meaning, I don't fight over boys like you do. You're never gonna fight me lest you're on the bad side. You will never win a fight with me. And, if you want Nico, I like him, but you can have him." I smiled again, everyone else was frozen; amazed. I just admitted I liked him, but I also said I didn't need him. My rant was over, and my voice hadn't broken from the steady, calm beat/ tune.

She screamed. It was exactly like yesterday. Then, everyone knew. Her scream was from anger, frustration; not from pain or fear. I took off my scarf that might be hiding scars from yesterday; i never looked. Everyone watched me and saw them. Everyone gasped. I was right; the gouge had scarred my neck. "Well, Nico and I have a quest so..... We gotta go." I smiled, turned, and stalked away. Nico followed.
