I am such a horrible author! I didn't even update for like, what? A month? I am so so sorry… It's just that there has been a lot of drama lately and I was busy because of school. And I didn't really have the time nor the strength to update… Sorry :( But now it is vacation plus all my family is laid down in the moment, so I decided to sneak in a chapter.
In the reviews, one of the recent reviews Guest asked me to review, and that moment I was just determined, like 'I haven't updated, and people are asking to update, you evil person' kind. I guess I was just knocked in the head.
Hey, any of you know Lovecandyshop? Well, she's a nice person and her story is 'What in the world Is going to happen?' and it's really fun to read- I recommend it.
I also noticed that I had 109 reviews, 46 favorites and 60 followers. THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH! I LOVE YOU ALL!
Replies to some reviews:
Alexis Foy: I'm saving the best for the last ;)
annabeth the wise girl: I'm pairing Thalia with Nico… I don't really support Thalico that much, but I need Thalia in this story and I thought that Nico would be great in the story.
And one more thing: Let`s say that yesterday when Piper and Jason met was when Katie and Travis were at CHB.
[Thalia`s POV]
That girl...
She seemed a bit... strange.
For one thing she made Jason crazy. After we met her and got home, Jason kept daydreaming and his eyes were kind weird. Maybe the girl bewitched him.
Or... maybe, just maybe she`s his.. you know..
McLean. Her last name is kinda strange, too. Kind of familiar.
I took out my DemiCom.
McLean.
Jennifer McLean (A.N. I just made her up. I don't know if she's actually real)
born in 1876, died-
Nah. Who is she anyway?
Tristan McLean.
Maybe. He kinda looks like her.
Blah blah blah King of Sparta blah blah unknown affair blah blah daughter blah blah.
Wait what?
Tristan McLlean has an illegitmate daughter, named Piper McLean. Her mother is unknown.
I looked up her picture. Yeah, definitely her.
Daughter of a movie star. Huh. Explains why she was like that.
Illegitmate daughter. Maybe she`s a demigod. If she is, I bet she's Aphrodite's, easily the most likely to hook up with a movie star.
[Jason`s POV]
I sat down on my desk, absentmindedly scribbling on some paper.
What shall I draw? I began drawing anything that came to mind. My gold coin that turns into a spear/sword, my desk, me.
After I drew myself, I began drawing something else next to me. I was thinking of drawing Thalia.
'Done' I thought as I looked at Thalia and me.
Wait. Thalia doesn't have brown hair. Nor is her hair choppy.
'Hey she looks a bit familiar' I thought as I racked my brains. Couldn't remember who it was.
I just headed out to the couch. Unfortunately, my oh-so-annoying sister was already there, lying on the couch. I plopped on top of her.
"Hey, get out of my knee"
"If you stop hogging the couch first"
She harrumphed, rolled her eyes, and got up.
"Where's Nico, anyway?"
She frowned and said,
"Running errands for Hades, apparently Hades is too 'busy'"
"Oh. Okay"
Thalia furrowed her eyes once, then said
"Remember that girl from that coffee shop?"
"Ye-"
Oh. I remember now. The girl I drew was the girl from the coffee shop. How in Hades underpants did I draw her with just one glance?
"Jason? Earth to Jason? Wake up, 'fore I kick you off the sofa"
"Ye-yeah I remember her."
"Well, -"
I zoned off. Why do I care about Piper anyway? Sure, she was pretty, no beautiful, and she was nice, and cute-
'STOP THINKING ABOUT HER' I told myself.
"Jason! Were you listening?"
"Yeah,"
"What did I just say?"
"Uh,… the weather is nice, isn't it?"
She glanced out the window.
The drizzle that had started a while ago was now a thunderstorm.
'Seriously?' her eyes seemed to say.
"I was saying that that girl we met at the café, well, I think she's a demigod. Her dad is Tristan McLean-"
"How did ya know that? Are you stalking her?"
"NO! Tristan McLean is the guy from King of Sparta, you idiot! Anyway, it says on Wikipedia that her mother is unknown. I think that she may be a demigod."
"Demigod…. Actually I think she is. I think I heard from Travis- or was it Conner? Anyway he told me that there was a demigod named Piper McLean, daughter of Aphrodite, who helped him during the fight."
"You mean I did the research for nothing?!"
Thalia half-screamed.
"Well, it's not my fault you didn't pay attention when Travis and Conner were telling us about what happened on Camp Half-Blood."
She crossed her arms.
"Well, at least I wasn't the one who was dozing off thinking of her."
How did she know that?
"Wait, you were actually thinking about her?"
"NO! Of course not! I mean, I just met her just for a moment and-"
"Oh my gods you were thinking about her! I knew it! I have to tell this to Aphrodite! And Annabeth! And Katie! And Travis! And-
"NO! If you do I'm telling the Stolls that you're afraid of heights! I'm sure they'll have pranks for you in no time!"
"We'll do what in no time?"
The Stolls walked in, Katie and Annabeth following them.
"C'mon, tell us!"
"Well, you see… Thalia was telling me things that were none of your business, and I told her that if she said those things aloud I would tell you guys something that you guys would love to use in some of your pranks…"
"Oh my… is it what I think it is?"
Annabeth asked, giggling. She pointed to the sky.
I grinned at her.
"Yep"
"Tell us, tell us!"
Travis cried. Katie slapped his arm.
"Ow.. that hurt, sweetheart"
Katie blushed, mumbling something like 'don't call me sweetheart'. Travis whispered something in her ear, Katie nodded and the two ran off to make out or something.
Conner was pretending to gag.
"My brother has officialy lost his mind." He mumbled, but I didn't hear him. I just thought of Piper, wondering if we would ever be like that.
I doze off thinking of Piper and me. I suppose that was why I didn't realize Conner sneaking into my room. Which was the place my drawing of Piper was in.
"Dude! Come over here! Did you seriously draw a picture of a girl? You have a crush?! You are supposed to have a soul mate! Wait a minute, she looks kinda familiar. Oh my gods, it's the-"
He was shut up by me throwing a pillow at his face. He began spitting the fur stuff out, cause I had conveniently thrown a pink fluffy pillow of Aphrodite's. Of course, he had shouted those words, making Thalia come over. She took one look at the picture, then doubled over, laughing.
"You know-*giggle*- you seem much more-*laugh*-lovestruck than-*laugh* Katie and Travis-*gasp-or Nico and me.*falls over laughing*.
Gee, what a nice sister. Note my sarcasm.
"It's not funny, guys" I said, stomping my foot in frustration. Manly, I know.
"We soooo have to play matchmaker" Thals said as she got up from the floor. Conner was nodding, with that look of his when he's planning and quote 'the prank of the century', in this case 'the matchmaking plan of the century'.
I groaned.
[Piper's POV]
"Piper, please come back. Can't you at least visit for, like, three days?"
My father said over the phone. I sighed.
"Dad, I love you very much, but I can't, after all those empty promises that you would see me more often. I want to just feel like your daughter, that's all I want. Is that too much to ask?"
I said, tears forming in my eyes. My dad didn't answer.
"Love you dad. I'm going to sword practice now" I said, hanging up.
I trudged towards sword practice. I took out Katropis and looked at my reflection. There was an ugly, broken girl.
I took a deep breath.
"Honey, are you okay?"
Drew asked. After she met her 'soul mate' she had become considerably nicer. I shook my head.
"C'mon sweetheart anybody can see that something's bothering you."
I broke. "After Mellie left Dad got another assistant, but she's horrible! Whenever I try to call him she stops me, telling me he's busy; she tries to cut me off him. Worse, Dad won't do anything about it! I asked him to fire Alexia, or at least tell her to stop, but..."
Drew wrapped her arms around me.
"Let's go to our cabin. I think you would be better if you cry a bit and sleep."
I took her advice and went back to our cabin.
I just wanted to show what was happening with Piper. I thought it would be more fun to write/read this way. I thought to spice things up with my second favorite couple (Of course my favorite is Percabeth! Percabeth forever! I just wonder what I'll write for Percy and Annabeth. Just warning you, but I'm planning something really dramatic! :D ).
