Sup people. Here's the new chapter. Enjoy.
Disclaimer: I own my OC's the others are Rick Riordan's.
Nico's POV
I was playing with my playdough when Apollo announced that we were there.
We landed, and I woke Will up.
"I swear Nico, if I open my eyes and we are still in the air, you are dead." He opened his eyes. "Thank goodness." He muttered.
"Here you go." Nico said. He handed Will the play-dough.
"Thanks." Will muttered. Then Nico pulled him by the collar, and kissed him.
"Is that a better wake up gift?" He asked as they pulled apart.
"Not yet." He said. Then he kissed Nico some more.
"Get a car." Leo said, looking away. Just because of that, they made louder kissing sounds. Then they stopped torturing Leo.
"Okay. Let's go." I said.
"Someone a little anxious to find Idalia?" Apollo said. I looked at the ground.
"I missed something, didn't I?" Will asked.
"Yeah, Leo blurted out who I kissed." I said.
"You kissed her?" Apollo asked. "Good job." I looked away again. "Don't be ashamed."
"Too bad. I feel like this is my fault. She came looking for me after I ran off, and got kidnapped. I just-never mind." I said, as I noticed everyone looking at me.
"We should get going." Will said. I shot him a grateful look. That had been getting a little awkward.
"Yeah, okay. I'll see you when you find your sister, I promise. I'll be there. Now get going. I think someone is getting too anxious to see her." I almost strangled Apollo at that point. "See ya." We got out of the car, and Apollo left.
"I suggest we go into town." I said. We had been dropped off in Bal Harbour. It was more of a village then a town.
"Lead the way." Leo said. I rolled my eyes and started walking to the market. (Ignore how Bal Harbour actually looks. I just had to come up with something.)
I went up to someone who was standing in one of the shops.
"Hi. Is there someone who goes by the name trader?" I asked.
"Yeah. They're shop is just over there." They replied.
"Thank you." I said, as I walked back to the group.
"C'mon" I said. I started walking and the boys followed me. I rolled my eyes. Do they ever think for themselves? I'm sure they don't.
I kept walking until I saw a sign that said Trader's in big letters. I walked up to it, and went inside. It had a bunch of knick-knacks on the shelves. I walked up to the cashier station.
"One moment." Someone called. After about a minute someone walked up to us. My heart sped up. It was none other than Aphrodite herself.
"Mom?" I asked.
"Hello. What can I help you with?" She asked with a smile.
Idalia's POV
"So." Niobe said. "Have you learned how vicious my kids can be? I see your hair is wet and messed up. That's a start. Tomorrow, it will be worse."
"Oh-no. Not again." I faked. The kids sniggered.
"Yes. Come, now. Back to your room." She said. I walked with her back to my room. Just as I was about to walk in, Niobe turned on me, dagger in hand.
"You won't be so happy tomorrow." She said, pointing her dagger at my chest. She swiped it over, scratching me.
I tried not to flinch. She threw me into the room, locked the door, and left.
I sat on the bed, examining my cut.
"Idalia?" I looked around the room, to see Will standing by the door. "What's she doing to you?" He looked horrified.
"This is the only time she's done this. It's okay." I said. He walked over to me, and hugged me. He glowed for a second, then my cut stopped hurting. He had healed it.
"We're coming to get you." He gave me one last hug, then he disappeared. Probably woke up.
Niobe walked in with a tray of food. She set it on my dresser. Then she turned to me.
"How did you heal your cut that fast? Well I mean I'm talking to Apollo's daughter. Maybe I need to use a poisoned blade next time." She walked out, leaving my mind to wander.
I ate my food. When I was done with that, I got my sketch pad out and drew Apollo. He was standing there, his chariot and the sun in the background. He had a bow and arrows strung around his back, and was playing a recorder.
I decided to go to bed after that.
I was standing in a shop. Will, Nico, Leo, and Amara were standing by the cashier.
"Mom?" Amara said.
"Hello. What can I help you with?" Aphrodite said with a smile.
"What are you doing here?" Leo asked.
"Helping you on your quest. But first, let's acknowledge the elephant in the room. Idalia, come out dear." She said. I walked out from behind a shelf.
"Did she hurt you, again?" Will asked.
"No. I'm fine." I responded. Leo looked relieved to see I was okay.
"Anyway. Now you know she's fine, we can get on with why you were here in the first place. I need you to retrieve something for me. When I get it, I can tell you where Idalia, here, is being kept. By the way" She said, turning to me. "You're going to be moved soon."
With that, I woke up, a knife was pointed at my chest.
Oh-no. What will happen next? Please review.
Peace out.
