My Soulmate

Chapter 10

(I do not own PJO!)

Naiya POV

What the heck! What is this! I look down at the cord then to Apollo's face. He looked in shock, then confusion, then like the happiest man in the world. He was looking at the cord in awe, then he reached out his hand and touched it. With his touch it grew brighter. His face lit up with fascination.

He turned his head to look at me and smiled softly. Looking at me in awe as he did with the cord. His face was glowing so brightly I was almost blinded. He took hold of my hand and it was warm to the touch.

No I can't. I can't love him. It will never work out. Whatever this cord is, it has to go away. I can't!

I ripped my hand out of his and ran. I could hear him calling my name but I ignored him and just kept running.

Apollo POV

Oh my gods. It's her. It's really her. But how?

It's extremely rare for a god or goddess to find their soulmate. But here I am. And here she is. And just wow! I have never been this happy in my entire life! I look at the cord in awe. I touch it and warmth and love fills me. I look up to her face and see confusion, awe, and wonder. It was that moment that I knew. I was in love with Naiya. My soulmate.

All of a sudden I feel sadness and denial run through me. It was a second before I found it was coming from Naiya. Our connection made us feel each other's emotions? Why would she feel this way? All I want to do now is get rid of her sadness.

I suddenly feel empty and hurt as she rips her hand from mine and runs.

"Naiya!" I yell in panic. I catch a glimpse of her thoughts through the cord that still connects us. Oh no. No, no, no, no, no.

"Naiya! Come back! Please!" Too late she is gone. She had run off toward the river.

After a few minutes of me just watching in the same spot I was when she ran off, Aphrodite popped in front of me looking pissed off.

"What are you doing just standing there!" Hands on her hips she snapped me out of me haze. My head turned towards her slowly. She looked almost just like Naiya. Almost. Unlike Naiya she was wearing a scowl. She also didn't stand like her or talk like her. And the way she snapped at me was defiantly not like her.

"Are you crazy! You just had your soulmate revealed to you by the fates and you just sit here while she is in denial? Go after her!"

About half way through her little speech I was already running.

(A/N) sorry its really short! I just got back from fair and am really tired! Please review anyways!
