Wow I can't believe it, it's chapter 10! I want to give a shoutout to these two people: Flurry of Snowflakes and Sparkyparty21 . These two people's reviews really made me proud of this story. Okay now with that out of the way the boring part:

I am not Rick Riordan and I do not own these characters. Phew, that's over! Let's start!

I want to answer him, answer all the things he just said, but I don't know how to do it. Instead I just whisper "I have to go" as I head towards my cave.

Octavian POV

For the next few days, it seems like Rachel is avoiding me. The next day after lunch, the second I started heading towards her, she ran into the nearest cabin. And later at arts and crafts I tried talking to her but she sprinted out of the room saying she had a meeting with Chiron.

It's no wonder that's she's avoiding me, though. I messed up big time. I don't know what got in me. One second we were talking, the next I was kissing her. For half a second I could have sworn she kissed me back, but I was probably wrong. Besides, what right do I have to ruin her career as Oracle. Really she has every right to be mad.

Suddenly, another idea pops into my mind. What if Apollo knows? He'll surely kill me for kissing his oracle that he chose.

I inwardly start hyperventilating think of what he might do to me. And it will be even worse because I'm a legacy of Apollo, grandson of the god himself.

Not only did I loose Rachel, but I'm also going to loose my life too!

I calm down, remembering Rachel's laughter when we were together at the lake. It was a sweet sound, like a songbird chirping in the morning.

I take a deep breath as I drop half my food as an offering to Apollo. I silently pray "Lord Apollo, Grandfather, please hear me. Help now that I have lost the only girl I have every, and will ever love. Please do something to help me."

I quickly add a few vegetables and in my head say what I never thought I would say, "Lady Venus, please help me."

I sit back down and search for Rachel, but I can't seem to find her. I turn and ask Will "Where's Rachel?"

"Oh she decided to eat in her cave. She sometimes does that." He answer then returns to his previous conversation.

I sigh as I take a bite of my food and look around.

I notice at the Neptune table, Jackson and the Minerva girl are laughing. She stops and kisses her. They kiss for a few seconds before pulling away, both smiling.

I frown as I shove another piece of food in my mouth. That should be me and Rachel. We should be sitting together, talking, maybe even kissing. In an ideal world that would happen. But the world isn't ideal.

I look at the Apollo cabin praying once again to my Grandfather.

Rachel POV

I feel so guilty avoiding him. I can't even imagine what he must be feeling right now. But if I did let him catch me, what would I do? What would I say?

I'll admit I'm not as mad as I was before. But I'm still angry that he kissed me, knowing fully well my oath.

I remember the determined look in her blue eyes as he told me how he felt. His eyes had never look more beautiful.

I shake me head. No, I can't be having these thoughts. I would be breaking my oath to Apollo, and Greek mythology is enough proof to show what happens if you anger the gods.

I look at my golden lyre I bought, in honor of Apollo. Silently I pray, "Please, Apollo, help me."

Before you go, I have a quick question. I want to become an author. Do you guys think I'd make a good author?
