Zaiden's POV

When we got to the big house the shirt was on the table and everyone looked at us.

Where did you find this shirt? Chiron asked Bell

It was up in a tree. I felt something dripping on my and seen it was blood I looked to see where it was coming from and found the shirt. Bell told them

What happened to your face? I know I didn't cut you. Jade told her

No you didn't. When I was looking at the shirt someone grabbed me from behind and told me I was lucky he wasn't allowed to kill me and to take this as a warning. She told them

Have you decided who you want to go on the quest with you? Chiron asked her

Yeah I have I want Zaiden and Jade to go with me. Zaiden for his experience and Jade for her fighting skills. She told them

Now it's up to them if they want to go with you. I'm sure their parents will want to talk to them before they tell you their decision. Chiron told us

Can we go now? Jade asked

Yeah go on. Chiron said and I just stood there and waited for everyone to leave.

My parents left along with Jade and her parents. Chiron got up and left leaving Bell, Annabeth and me in the room. I was in the corner and was probably forgotten by now so I didn't move.

I can't believe you ran away. Annabeth said

Well I wasn't getting answers from you so what else was I supposed to do? Bell asked her

You should have just waited for me to tell you instead of running off. Now you're scared because of all this. Annabeth told her

I'm not scared. Bell told her

Then why we're you crying? You were scared when you found that shirt. I know you were. She told her

Mom I'm not scared. Bell told her getting aggravated

Why can't you just come home and we can pretend this never happened? Annabeth asked her

Because it did happen mom! You just want everything to be as normal as possible but we aren't normal! I have a chance to find out what happened to dad and you don't want me to go! Bell yelled at her

I don't want you to live like I did! I don't want you to have to fight for your life every second of the day! Annabeth yelled back

Is it that or are you afraid to come back to this camp? To show your face around here after dad died? You don't want to remember him and that is why you keep yourself busy with work! You need to stop being afraid of every little thing! Bell yelled at Annabeth

I did all of this for you Arabella! For you not for me but for you! You are being selfish right now! Annabeth yelled at her

Me being selfish? What about you? For fifteen years I didn't even know my dad's name or anything about him! Do you want to know something mother? You are a selfish, scared, pathetic excuse for a mother! And I hate you for that! Arabella yelled at her

Smack

That's when I got into it.

How dare you? Annabeth asked and walked out of the big house

Hey are you okay? I asked her

That might become a bruise. She said

You know she just doesn't want to lose you to. I told her

I don't want to talk about it. Do you want to go and hang out in the woods? She asked me

Sure but after lunch. I told her then the horn blew.

What table do I sit at? She asked me

Well I sit with my dad because my mom has two younger siblings but my dad doesn't have any so you can go sit at the Poseidon table by yourself because you and your mom are fighting. I told her

Yeah so I guess I will see you after lunch. She told me

Ari's POV

AFTER LUNCH IN THE WOODS

I was walking along the trail but decided to go off of it and climb a tree. I climbed onto a thick branch and laid down on it. I had seen Zaiden leave early but when I made it outside he was gone. So I walked out here. I had looked for about ten minutes then gave up and now I'm here. The sun was beating down on my face and I closed my eyes. The sun was blocked by something and I looked up and seen someone standing there. I jumped up and backed up.

Who are you? I asked him

Who I am doesn't matter. I just came to check on your cut that I gave you earlier. He told me taking a step closer

You. I spat at him

Yes me I know not what you expected right? I'm younger than what you thought. He told me stepping even closer

Stay away from me. I told him backing into the tree looking around

Please I can get as close as I want I mean no one here to protect you. He told me putting his arms on either side of my head so I couldn't go any wear.

I looked frantically and seen Zaiden.

Zaiden! I screamed and punched the guy in the face.

Zaiden looked before I hit him and was up to hold him down by time he fell.

Arabella are you alright? He asked me

Yeah I think so. I told him

I swear to the Gods if I ketch you around her ever again you will die. Zaiden told him

Whatever. The guy said

You are going to Chiron. Zaiden said and was gone with the guy.

I waited in the tree for him to come back and when he did he hugged me.

Are you sure you are alright? He asked me

Yes I'm fine Zaiden. I told him and kissed him

I know I just get worried when I see some guy leaning you agents a tree. Zaiden told me

Yeah you're not the only one. I told him leaning agents the tree pulling him with me

This better? I asked him and put my arms around his neck

Defiantly. He said and kissed me again.

I felt his tong lick my Bottom lip and that was the star of our make out session. (I don't want to really get into detail about curtain parts because I don't really know if people under ten will be reading this or not.) I laid back down on the branch with Zaiden on top of me. I felt his cold hands touch my stomach then started making small circles on my sides. His thumbs were touching the lining of my bra and the horn blew for dinner. Zaiden pulled up from our kiss and looked at me shaking his head.

Why does this always happen to us? He asked

I don't know but I have an idea. I told him

What would that idea be? He asked me

I say after Chiron is asleep you sneak out of the big house and come to the Poseidon cabin and get me and we shadow travel to the apartment and spend the night there and come back around four in the morning so no one will notice we were gone. I told him

Sounds good. He told me

We got up and fixed ourselves and we shadow traveled to the big house so I could ask Chiron if I could stay in the Poseidon cabin for the rest of my staying here. He agreed and we went to dinner.

Okay guys this was a creepy chapter to write. I don't usually write stuff like that but I thought it would be okay. Let me know what you think and thanks for the ones who Reviewed and I understand about the spelling mistakes I get mad at myself whenever I do that but I type things and then see I have a spelling mistake and then just think I will go back to it but never do. I just get so excited about posting and I'm trying to rush through it all so I can get done as fast as possible just in case I need to get the computer back. Thanks guys. -Thalia
