Octavian's POV
Octavian's day did not end as planed True, he as hoping to get his first kiss, but no to be picky but he was kinda thinking of having it with a GIRL! Octavian sighed, it wasn't the end of the world but the others keep their damn mouths shut! Octavian tried to forget it and think about something else, well that something else was Rachel. It felt good to have his arm around her, even if it was only because he needed her help to suport himself. He then thought about being under water with her. At first it felt really and he knew what he was doing, but the longer they were down their, the less and less it seemed real, soon he was sure what was happening and it felt more like a dream then real life, and when Rachel let go of his hand he didn't know what to do, it was like he forgot to think. The only thing in his head was Rachel making his thoughtless self confused of why she wasn't in front of him until he's eyes got heavy and then nothing.
"I love the look you get when your deep in thought." Rachel snapped him back to the persent. He shook his head and looked down at her.
"What was that?" He asked, Rachel smiled with a slight laugh.
"Nothing." She muttered. Octavian sighed and figured he get a few laughs out of her and talk about her most likely to be favorite topic.
"So Percy so my first kiss." He started looking down at her and saw that she was trying not to laugh.
"Actually he was more like your first second and third kiss." She told him. Octavian throw his head back and groaned.
"Your kiding!" He cried. Rachel shook her head and covered her mouth with her hand, trying to hide her smile.
"This day is just getting better and better." Octavian muttered.
"I know right." Rachel replies. At that point they both crack up.
"But I am a little jealouse of Percy though." Rachel told him, Octavian's head snapped down in her dirction. What did she just say?
"You say what now?" Octavian blurted out the first thing he could say and mentaly slapped himself for saying something so stupid that it didn't make sence. But luckly Rachel just laughed.
"I think there's more water in your head then there is a brain coffee stain, that is, if you have a brain?" She told him.
"No, I'm pretty sure my brian fell out of my ear the day I met you, not like it had anything to do with you of course." He smirked down at her.
"Watch it! I'll drop you right here and now!" She warned him.
"Sure you would." He snorted.
"Is that a bet?" She asked him.
"Maybe..." Before Octavian could react, Rachel ducked away from under his shoulder. Octavian hit the ground with a thud. He looked up to see Rachel laughing her ass off in front of him.
"You are the worst friend ever!" Octavian yelled. Rachel stopped laughing enough to look at him with a crazy grin.
"Am I the worst?" She said in a soft voice as she slowly walked back over to him and carefully helped him up. "Or am I your best?" She whispered so sweetly to him that it brought a smile to his face.
"I don't know, you could be?" Octavian replied. Rachel chuckled slightly.
"If it makes it easier for you, you are my best friend." She told him with a playful smile.
"So, why again were you jealouse of Percy?" Octavian asked her.
"I think your smart enough to figure that out yourself." She smirked.
"Am I?"
"Are you?"
"Shut up."
When they got to the temple Rachel helped Octavian, to his bed and then left to lay in her own.
"Good night coffee stain," She called from her bed.
"Good night coffee head, and by the why, you are my best friend." He told her, only he wished she was more then that.
The next morning, Octavian was waken by Rachel shaking his shoulder. Octavian pushed her away without opening his eyes.
"Five more minutes Rach, come on." He groaned, laughter came from his side but it wasn't Rachel's laughter it was... someone else.
"Hey Hazel, guess what? I'm a sexy as Rachel!" Leo's voice suddenly called. Octavian bolted up and his eyes shot open. He looked over and saw Leo and Hazel. Leo was in front of him grinning well Hazel was leaning over Rachel's bed giggling at him.
"LEO! What the fuck!" Octavian yelled at him.
"Hey, language! You wouldn't want to wake up the Oracle, thats our job." Leo smirked, before Octavian could say more Leo slipped over to Rachel's bed and leaned over her with Hazel. Octavian crawled over to them.
"What the hell are you two doing?" Octavian hissed to them.
"Helping me scare you." Rachel's voice suddenly came from behind him and with that, Octavian felt someone jump on his back. Octavian fell onto the bed with a cry of surprise. He heard laughter as he shoved Rachel off of him, he looked back to Hazel and Leo and see them laughing like idiots to the point Leo fell over hitting the ground with a loud thud but was still laughing.
"I hope that hurt." Octavian grumbled. Leo stood back up and grinned.
"It was worth it." He stated. Octavian rolled his eyes and turned to Rachel.
"Really? You brought them here just to scare me?"
"Are kidding me! They scared the crap out of me to, you just didn't wake up so we teamed up to scare you as well!" She told him.
"So they came on their own?" He asked, Rachel nodded. Octavian turned back to Leo and Hazel with a weird look on his face.
"Why?"
"We came to get you guys for breakfast." Hazel told them simply.
"Then lets go!" He snapped.
"Your just pissy because you think I'm sexy." Leo told him and did a stupid pose making them all laugh.
"Yeah, sure." Octavian laughed.
"Hey, don't deny it, I'm hot!" Leo insisted
"Whatever." Rachel laughed. With that they left the temple and headed for the dining hall. Rachel and Hazel walked behind Octavian and Leo, whispering and laughing. Leaving Octavian and Leo to walk together with nothing to talk about until Leo spoke up.
"So what's it like to be dead?" He asked. Octavian looked over to him with one eyebrow arched.
"First, I wasn't dead, second, if you want to know that why don't you just ask Hazel?" Octavian told him and gestured to Hazel over his shoulder.
"But she didn't drown, she exploited. I want to know how stupid someone has to be to forget to come up for air." Leo told him slyly.
"Hey! I'm not stupid, I'm just lazy." Octavian joked. Leo laughed.
"Okay, fat and lazy equals drowning. Good to know!" Leo gave him two thumbs up.
"You forgot to add the water." Octavian smirked.
"What is this? Math for morons?" Leo asked.
"Yes, or in other words, math for Leo." Octavian agreed. Leo gave him a quick glare before moving on.
"So what's with you and Rachel?" Leo asked. Octavian stared at him in surprise.
"What?" Octavian hissed.
"Oh come on! You can not act like its nothing, you guys work together, sit together, live together, walk together, laugh together, you chase one another, almost kiss until your friends interrupt you and embarrass you, she saves you from drowning, or at least pulls you back to the surface, she cries her eyes out when you almost die-" Before Leo could go on Octavian cut him off.
"She did what?" Octavian asked him.
"She cried when you were dead." Leo told him.
"No, I mean before that you idiot!" Octavian almost cried.
"Hey chill! She went back under water to save you, Okay?" Octavian nodded. He looked over his shoulder to Rachel. She was smiling and laughing with Hazel, she looked beautiful. She risked her life for him, why?
Soon they were at the dining hall. They went to sit with their friends.
"Hey guys!" Annabeth called when she saw them. Percy, Annabeth and Piper were the only ones there. Where are Jason and Frank? Octavian wondered.
"Where are Frank and Jason?" Hazel asked only seconds later as if reading Octavian's mind. Percy shrugged.
"I don't know, shouldn't you two know?" He pointed to Hazel and Piper. "They're your boyfriends." He stated.
"Jason's going to go tall to Reyna." Piper told them.
"See, thats a good girlfriend, always knowing where her boyfriend is." Percy told Hazel.
"Well thats not fare, I have to know where Jason is because of Reyna." Piper defended Hazel. "As for Hazel, this her home, there's nothing threatening her relationship with Frank."
"Funny you would mention home," Hazel told them. "Because, well, I was thinking I would see what its like to live at Camp Halfblood when the war is over." She told them. Octavian could tell that everyone was taken back by this.
"What?" Rachel was the first to speak.
"Well, the camps probably wont want to come together to make one big camp because nether would want to leaving their camps, but what if the camps were mixed with bother roman and greek campers?" Hazel told them.
"Hazel that's brilliant!" Rachel cried.
"Yeah! And the camps could meet up like ever two months or so!" Annabeth agreed. Hazel was givin priase for her idea by all of the people that were at the table. Octavian was blown away by the idea, it was so simple and easy but at the same time, ground shaking! This little thing could be the start of a whole new aria, where there was no longer any conflict between Roman and Greek! Octavian looked over to Leo who was sitting beside him, he was looking at Hazel like he were starstruck. Octavian then glanced over to Rachel who was on the side of him when a sudden thought came to mind; Rachel and Octavian could go to the same camp. The thought made Octavian exited until he remembered the prophesy, there was a good chance that one of them weren't coming back, and even if they both some how get out of this quest alive there was nothing saying that they would live though to the war. Rachel looked over to him meeting his gaze with a sad smile and Octavian could tell she was thinking the same thing. Octavian reached for her hand under the table and gave it a reassuring squeeze and leaned his head in near her ear.
"Its going to be okay, I promise." He whispered to her.
"Thank you." She replied before resting her head on his shoulder.
"Hazel, this is the best idea I've ever heard." Percy told Hazel again just as Frank and Jason walked over.
"What's the best idea you've ever heard?" Jason asked as he slipped into the spot next to Piper and wrapped his arm around her shoulders. Frank did the same with Hazel and looked down at her questionably.
"She came up with an idea of having the camps being mixed with both Roman and Greek demigods!" Octavian told them. Jason's eyes widened and he looked down at Piper who was still in his arms.
"That's amazing!" He cried with joy as he pulled Piper closer to him. Octavian glanced to Frank and saw that he had wide eyes as well but they didn't seem to be filled with joy like Jason. Rachel saw this as well and called his out on it.
"What's the problem Frank, don't you like us Greeks?" She joked, but when Octavian looked at her eyes it seemed more like a challenge.
"Of course I like you guys!" Frank replied smiling coldly at Rachel as if to accept her silent challenge. Octavian didn't like this, the way Frank smiled at her, it almost seemed like he was threatening her. Octavian sat straighter and pulled his arm around Rachel as though to protect her from Frank, if Frank was going to hurt Rachel he would have to go through Octavian first.
"I can't believe there's only three more days until the quest!" Piper sighed.
"I know, this is so weird, I'm not used to having so much time to think about a quest. I usually only have like a few hours to think about it." Percy told them.
"How many quest's have you been on?" Jason asked him.
"Five, if you include the one I sneaked onto to save Annabeth when we were thirteen." Percy told him. Jason nodded.
"Yeah I think that would count." Jason agreed.
"You know, Thaila was on that quest, Jason and it was also when she became a huntress." Annabeth told Jason. He turned to Percy.
"You know Thaila?" He asked.
"Yeah, and she like your sister with the whole Zeus and Jupiter thing right?" Percy replied.
"Actually, we also have the same mother as well." Jason told him. Percy's eyes went wide.
"Oh wow! I'm starting to see why Hera hates you so much." Percy joked.
"So way does she hate you?" Jason asked.
"Well one reason is because I date her," Percy pointed to Annabeth who slapped his finger away. "but mainly I think its because when her husband offered to make me a god I declined." He told him simply. That sure as hell got everyones attention. Octavian's eyes went wide as he stared at Percy. He could have been a god? He thought. But when he looked at Annabeth, Percy and Rachel it didn't seem like a big deal to them.
"Zeus did what?" Leo cried.
"He offered to make me a god and I said no."
"Why!" Frank cried.
"Because I didn't want to!" Percy cried back.
"And its a good thing he didn't or else the seven would never be complete!" Octavian defended him. Percy nodded to Octavian.
"Yeah, exactly!" Percy agreed.
"Whatever." Jason sighed. Soon breakfast was over and Octavian and Rachel started heading back to the temple. When they got there. Rachel headed for her art supplies and began to paint. Octavian plopped down to his bed when his eyes suddenly became very heavy and soon he was asleep.
As Octavian dreamed, (Thats right people! Dream sean, just shut up and read it, its important!) he dreamed of chaos. It seemed like a giant battle, a war. Things were moving at the speed of light and were impossible to see exactly what they were. Octavian looked around, looking for any sign, message, anything to give him a hit of what to do when something suddenly hit him so fast and hard that he wasn't ready and fell to the ground. Octavian got up and realized that he was wearing armer and had a knife in his hand, it was unlike the ones he used with his teddybears. For starters it was covered in blood, some dry, some fresh. And second, it was both gold and silver with a little diamond and the butt of it, staring at the diamond filled Octavian with fear and worry and for some reason the fear and worry had a lot to do with Rachel.
What ever hit him the first came back again, but this time Octavian was ready and slashed at it with his knife, he battled with the thing for awhile, blocked everyone of its strikes until a shrill and painfully familiar scream ripped through the air. Octavian's head whipped around and saw just a glimpse of piercing green eyes filled with pain.
"Rachel!" Octavian screamed before running for her when he saw a sword rise from where the green eyes once were, it projected a blinding bright light. Octavian squinted. What kind of metal shines that brightly? He wondered. When Octavian's eyes readjusted, he saw that the sword was covered in what had to be Rachel's blood.
"NO!" Octavian cried. He fell to his knees above to sword and found himself leaning over Rachel. She was laying in a puddle of her own blood. Octavian lifted her in his arms.
"NO!" He cried again as tears began to roll down his cheeks. Everything began to slow down and the raging war disappeared but Octavian could care less. Rachel was there, dying in his arms.
"How could you Octavian!" A voice yelled. Octavian looked up to see Percy glaring down at him along with the rest of their friend's.
"What? I didn't do this! I didn't kill her!" He cried.
"Sure you didn't!" Hazel hissed.
"I didn't! I swear! Why would I kill her? I love her!" He cried. He then realized what he had just said. Did he love her? Clearly he did, seeing how easy it was for him to say it.
"Stop lying Octavian, its getting you nowhere!" Jason told him.
"I'm not lying and I didn't kill her!" Octavian insisted. Percy shook his head.
"Enough is enough." He stated coldly before raising his sword above Octavian's head.
"Good bye Octavian, see you in hell." And with that the sword came crashing down.
Octavian woke up to someone shacking his shoulder. His eyes shot open and the first thing he saw was Rachel smiling down at him.
"Wake up sleepy head, I need some help cracking the prophesy. If we work hard enough I think we can finish it today." She told him. Octavian was barley listening He was to happy to see Rachel's smile. Without thinking, Octavian wrapped his arms around Rachel's waist and pulled her into a hug. At first Rachel seemed startled, but then relaxed in his arms.
"Bad dream?" She whispered.
"The worst." He agreed.
"Well its over so lets move on okay?" She asked as Octavian slowly let her go.
"Yeah, so what line are we on now?" He asked her.
Okay, so I really hate how I ended this chapter its just that if I do anything else the chapter will get way to long and I didn't want that to happen, also I need to work on I know I'm making Frank OOC and I do like Frank but hey, someone has tobe the bad guy. bye fanfics! =)
