My Soulmate
Chapter 11
(I do not own PJO! Just so you know!)
Naiya POV
I can't believe I just did that. I just ran like some coward. What else could I do! I needed to get away so I did! Don't judge me! Anyways I should have ran to Ashlee, but instead I went straight towards the lake. Probably best to be alone anyways. Once she reached the lake she dove in. She didn't take any of her clothes off, didn't think about her ipod that was in her pocket, she just dove. As the water hit her she immediately felt at home. Giggling a little bit, and swimming around, she tried to forget all about Apollo, and the silver cord for a while. It almost worked too. She could hear someone yelling on the bank. It was Apollo.
"Naiya! Please come out. I need to talk to you."
But she didn't want to talk to him. She wanted to forget, for the time being. So she swam deeper, and she had a feeling he knew it. Good. Her assumptions were awarded when she heard,
"Oh, come on Naiya!" she said nothing. "Don't make me come down there!"
She giggled a bit and swam even deeper. She kept swimming until all of a sudden he appeared in a flash of light right in front of her wearing a scowl.
"Now that's not right." He said. She just pushed passed him like he wasn't even there, and kept swimming until she reached the bottom. Of course he followed her. Crossing her hands she looked at him. Waiting.
"OK." He said. "what happened?" She cleared her face of all emotion.
"What do you mean, "what happened?"" He sighed and gave her the don't-play-dumb-with-me look. She gave up with a sigh. She never was a good actress.
"I got scared." She said looking down. She felt ashamed, embarrassed, and scared. Why couldn't he see that it was impossible for them to be together? At all? She was human! He was a god! It would never work if you know what I'm saying!
"why are you scared?" he looked worried now. He wrapped his arms around her and she was suddenly warm. She hadn't even realized she was cold. After sitting there for a while, though she didn't want it to end, she pulled back a little and said,
"Because, it would never work. You should know that." He looked as if he were thinking about it for a minute, then he understood.
"We could make it work. There are ways." She shook her head. She wanted a normal life, but she would never get it back. She barely even knew Apollo, yet she was falling in love with him.
"Can we wait? Can we just spend some time with each other before we decide anything major? I just barely met you." He looked at her in understanding. It would be best. He nodded his head and she sighed in relief. Then they walked out of the lake talking about random stuff.
"Well I better go. Ashlee is expecting to see me." Naiya gave a slight smile before waving and heading to the Athena cabin to tell her best friend everything. She's the only one she knew who could keep a secret.
