Thank you, thank you, thank you for the reviews!!!
That's all I really have to say, besides... enjoy!
Disclaimer: I don't own the freaking story!!!!
As soon as we were done IM'ing Chiron, Elliott took me straight to the nearest motel (Kirk was too little to have any hotels). Once we had checked out our room (not nearly as nice as our previous hotel, but it would do. I had camped out many times before.
Elliott started making dinner. I could smell the spaghetti and sauce from the bedroom, which I had taken over, basically shoving Elliott out of so that I could try to think. But it wasn't working. As I lay on the lumpy bed, trying to punch my pillow into shape, the only thing running through my head was, oh my gods, what if I'm a goddess? What if I'm not a half-blood? Why me? Am I really? Oh god, what if I am a goddess??
"Dinner!" I heard Elliott yell from the small kitchen. I sighed and rolled over on the bed. I didn't feel like eating. What if I was a god? Would Elliott and Ella think that I was a freak?
"Harmony, you can't hide in there all day."
This time, his voice was coming from right outside the door. I sat up angrily.
"Yes I can!" I yelled, "I can do whatever I want. It's a free country!"
Elliott popped his head through the door.
"Harm, you're my best friend. I can't stand to see you like this. Please at least come and talk to me, okay?"
I glared at him, but I obliged and followed him into the kitchen. I sat down at the table, and he brought me my spaghetti and meatballs. I tried to eat, but it felt like rubber.
"Harm, why aren't you eating?" He asked, concerned, "I don't even know what's so wrong about being a goddess... I mean, that's cool, right?"
He grinned, but I could tell that it was fake. I narrowed my eyes at him.
"Because everyone would treat me differently. It would suck. And I would live forever. And all my friends would die before me. And... and... and I just don't want to be a goddess."
I bit my lip and looked down at the table. All I could focus on was the hysteria that was bubbling up inside of me, but I pushed it down. I really didn't want to totally lose it right now.
"Harm, I wouldn't treat you differently. And I don't think that Ella would, either. And, yes, your friends would die, but you would make friends with the Gods. Trust me, it wouldn't be so bad. And living forever would be awesome. I mean, come on. You could do everything that you ever wanted without having to think about dying, or getting hurt, or anything."
Then something dawned on me.
"Elliott! That's it!"
He stared at me questioningly.
"I can't be a goddess! It's just not possible!"
He kept staring at me, but I didn't care. I was just so excited about my recent discovery. I leapt up and ran into the bedroom to grab a small handful of golden Greek coins that would allow me to IM Chiron.
Sorry if that's sort of a cliffhanger. I'll post the next chapter soon. I might actually get 3 posted today, since it's a Saturday and I'm stuck watching my siblings. :P
Anyways, review!!! I'm quite disappointed with the lack of reviews!!!!
