The next day of my date with Nico happened something that I never thought possible again.
I was kidnapped... again!
But, unlike the previous experience where was a small battle of Capture the Flag in the middle, this once was without warning and without a situation of the sort around me. Although, technically, I couldn't be naming it kidnapping, I wasn't taken somewhere I didn't know. More like I'm-being-dragged-against-my-will-but-I-know-I-won't-get-hurt sort of thing.
It all started in the morning when I went to get my breakfast. Since I had a wonderful time with Nico the previous day, I decided to be nice and to make my morning offer to Hades. The poor guy doesn't have enough people respecting him... After that, I sat with Will and told him everything about the date the day before.
Will put all his efforts in looking like he was interested in what I was saying, but he was lost to me the second I say that Nico could be open to date him. After that, his eyes were all glassy and nodded in at the proper times, but I used that moment to tell him that we were abducted by aliens and this, was his reply.
"That sounds nice."
Of course, when he hear one of his siblings screaming that Nico and I had been abducted by aliens, he realized I was fooling with him for not paying attention. We spent the remains of breakfast explaining to the younger ones that I or Nico weren't abducted and that I was doing that cause Will wasn't paying attention to me. Will apologized profoundly.
"Go, Will..." I encouraged him. Will raised an eyebrow, unsure, but I pushed him towards Nico and he gave me a bright smile and a hug. That was the last thing I saw as a black bag was placed over my head and my arms were restricted, while being dragged away. "Who the heck you think you are?! Let me go and I'll kick your sorry butts!" I screamed hard, but I was lifted from the floor.
Why all the weird things happen to me?
"Here we are, girls!" The totally recognizable voice of Piper McLean confused the heck out of me. All my attackers left me on the floor and pulled away the bag on my face. I blinked several minutes to accustomed to the light when I identified the perpetuators of the crime. I released a loud groan.
"Wasn't easier to ask me to come along?!" I shouted at them. Hazel hid behind Piper, who looked apologetic, but was blushing. Reyna was smirking but Annabeth was frowning and raising an eyebrow. I couldn't believe that my girl friends would do this to me.
"Maybe you aren't you." Annabeth started, and I had to stare at her. Clearly, she lost her mind.
"Annie here believes you have been replaced by someone else, as the Rachel she knows would never go out in dates." Piper explained and I finally understood what was happening. Looking closely, I could see the fear in Annabeth's eyes and I relaxed, though it didn't mean I liked what had happened. "I, on the other hand, think you were smart enough to pull one over Apollo, who gave you green light."
"I'm here in behalf of the Romans." Ha! Only you believe that crap, Reyna... "We take Vestals vows very seriously."
"Oh, really?" I replied, sarcastically and she had the decency of looking slightly guilty. "What do you believe, Hazel? Haven't heard anything from you..." I pointed out to the shy member of the group.
"I honestly don't care much..." She said, shrugging. "I am myself bending the rules, so why not you?" I nodded at her honesty.
"Why, thank you, Hazel." I thanked her, before turning to all of them. "Yes, I'm Rachel. And yes, I pulled one over Apollo. And yes, I take my vows very seriously too, Reyna. But, there are ways and ways... I won't be the first Oracle asking the question and I won't be the last..."
"And what is that question?" Annabeth crossed her arms, frowning.
"How to be like everyone else." That made her purse her lips and I spoke directly to her. "Listen, Annabeth... Just because I got permission to date doesn't mean I will take Percy away from you... Don't look that surprise, I realized immediately what was this about..." I shut her gently, when she opened her mouth. "One, the guy is head over heels for you and two, who told you that's the only egg in the basket?" Annabeth frowned, but relaxed once she understood my metaphor, hugging me.
"The only egg in the basket...?" Hazel wondered, not understanding. Piper leaned on her ear and explained to her. "Oh!"
"In that case, I propose a girls' night, here at camp." Reyna suggested. I shrugged, not really caring and slightly happy that the other could come. However, my happiness was going to be short, but I ignored that at the moment.
"Sorry, Reyna... It's my weekly night-date with Percy..." Annabeth apologized, once she leaned back from my hug. I nodded, understanding.
"Jason, Leo and I are going to see my Dad..." Piper shook her head. "He's around promoting a new movie and he called us to see him!" I glanced at Hazel, pleading her in my mind that she didn't have plans.
"Unfortunately, I'm going to be busy, as Chiron asked me to call for Arion..." I closed my eyes, cursing my luck. "Apparently, he has a job for him, but I don't think Arion will allow to be tamed..."
"Sounds like it's only us, RED..." Reyna wrapped her arm around my shoulders, smirking. I smiled back, completely fake I must add, and nodded. "Looks like we're having a date, girl..." She whispered on my ear, making me pale for a second, but shook it off for the girls' sake.
I really don't know what Reyna has in store for me.
Hello and good afternoon to you all!
I realize is not Sunday, but I haven't had the time to post yesterday. Also, I apologize for not posting the previous weekends and, even though I have no excuse for that, I have an excuse for posting today.
