Howdy people! I need to stop saying that. How's life? Mine's good. I started writing this ages ago and then waited to finish my other stories before I posted this. I've been writing non-stop whenever I could so this was a pretty fast/decent update (in my opinion at least) considering I refused to finish to post until all my other stories had a chapter finished to send to beta. Be sure to let me know what you thought in the review box below. Please, I know we can make 150.
P.S. I've had this scene in mind for ages!
Skylar's P.O.V:
My vision fogged and my head felt heavy. My already dizzy mind barely registered the fact that Beta had his arms wrapped around my waist and he was giving me a sip of something – but that was it. I felt my knees buckle and Beta's grip tightened. My head was pounding and sweat poured down my face. My vision blurred yet again, I felt my body go limp and darkness overcame my mind as I slipped from the world into unconsciousness.
I walked down a deserted alleyway, scanning my eyes over the nooks and crannies. "The stain…" I mumbled as my eyes scanned over the crevice in the stone. My fingers ran over the crease and my heart quickened. I felt the fear seeping into my chest as the pain from the dagger entered my stomach. Shaking my head, I continued walking. I walked onto the street and looked down the stone path at my old home. I had been lying when I told Annabeth I was from Earth – my home was in the Milky Way, yes, but not Earth. I was born on Neptune – believe it or not, everyone from the Milky Way Galaxy is Humanoid (meaning they all look human).
Walking down the path, I looked towards my old home. The dark stone walls looked completely out of place against the big glass windows. The water levitated and shaped into the pillars and I smiled as I remembered running around it while laughing as a toddler. Slowly pushing open the door, I watched as I saw my old friends sitting at the table.
"Where would she be?" asked Coral, her blue-tipped black hair swishing around her back in curls. Serena had tears falling down her cheeks as she pushed her blue-tipped snow white hair off her wet face.
Serena pushed herself up and began walking out the door, "I honestly don't know, Corrie. But I think I know somebody who does." My mind ran quickly as I tried to think who would know my location.
After following them through my village I stopped when I saw that they had stopped at Madame Arelia's house. She was the only person on Neptune who could communicate with Chaos because she helped train some of the warriors. She was a great friend, too. The two princesses (did I forget to mention that?) arrived at Madame Arelia's house and knocked on the door.
"Who is it?" Arelia's voice came. My friends introduced themselves and went inside. "What do you want?" asked Arelia.
Corrie spoke, "Madame Arelia, we were wondering if you could please tell us where our friend, Georgia, went?"
Arelia shook her head, "It's not my place to say… but if I were allowed, I'd say she was doing what she always did best." My friends looked at her with their sapphire blue eyes, "I meant that she'd be fighting for what she believed in. Word of advice, girls; if you really want to see her, pray to Chaos." They nodded and returned to the palace.
The scene changed and I saw my father, Chaos, speaking to my friends. "You wish to see your old friend? I'm sorry, I don't know any Georgia. My daughter is called Skylar. But, I think I can find your friend if you would like." The girls nodded and the scene changed again.
"Skylar? I know you're there." My father appeared out of the shadows (as usual) and I laughed.
"Hi daddy, why am I here?" He looked at me with his onyx eyes. "You saw your old friends, correct?" I nodded, "I'm thinking of asking them to join you in squadron 8. Is that alright with you, my child?" I nodded slowly, unable to accept the fact that my best friends would be joining me in the ranks. "Excellent. Do you wish to join me?" I nodded uncertainly.
"How, I'm dreaming, aren't I?" my father nodded but held out his hand. I took it and felt the strange sensation of travelling through portal.
After landing on the ground, light encased me and I felt my body begin to wake up.
Groggily, I pushed myself up off the cold stone ground and felt my father's eyes boring into my back. Grabbing onto his outstretched hand, I let him pull me to my feet. I didn't let go as my head felt lighter than air and the world spun.
"Hello Lord Chaos," came a voice, a teenager – around 14 years old – appeared with her sister. The girl who spoke had black hair with blue tips. I felt tears threatening to prickle down my cheeks as I looked towards my former best friends. "Who's this?" she asked.
"This is my daughter, Skylar. Sky, this is Serena and Coral."
Serena's white hair flew around her head as she lowered to a curtsy. "Hello Princess, I'm-"
I smiled, "I know who you are, Serena." I curtsied to the two princesses, "Hey Corrie, recognise me?" My old friends gasped as I let the gust of water and wind envelope my body and transform my appearance back to brown hair and hazel eyes. My friends squealed and ran towards me, wrapping their arms around my neck and ribs.
"Oh my gods, Georgie, is that you?" I grimaced internally.
Shaking my head, my broken voice spoke. "I go by Skylar now." My voice became much stronger as I remembered the pain and agony that went through the past 450 years as the princess of Chaos; the fearless and reckless brother who would die before he gave up on something he believed in, the training I had in order to be who I was today, even the torture of returning to Neptune to save all those civilians because the governors here were pathetic dicks who didn't know the difference from right and left.
"I want nothing to do with those monsters I used to call family. Besides, now I have an amazing brother and a powerful father. I have a family." My friends looked at me with tears in their eyes, both sapphire blue like one of my brother's enemies' eyes. What was his name, Oceanus? Before I could respond, however, I felt a wave of energy wash over me, making me dizzy and lightheaded – again. Chaos grabbed me from under my arms as my knees buckled (you know, I was beginning to feel really weak from constantly passing out) underneath me. Serena and Coral ran to me, helping Chaos lower me onto the cold stone floor.
"What's wrong with her milord?" asked Corrie while Serena moved some water from the fountain for me to drink.
My voice sounded frail, but I carefully spoke, "Father, please call upon Morpheus. Quickly!" Darkness overcame me – again – and I fell asleep – again (I really shouldn't have stopped in the middle of dream training for some stupid mission).
I walked through Camp Half Blood, looking at all the soldiers and campers interacting like old friends seeing each other for the first time in years (although, I guess some of them were). My feet began moving – to where I honestly didn't know – and I soon found myself at the back of the forest. My vision sped through the forest using Clairvoyance and it shortly stopped at a clearing where, much to my annoyance, I saw Nyx and Erebus. Before I would abruptly run to the clearing and pummel somebody, a voice spoke.
"Hello milady, milord." The voice, she I decided, carried obedience and what sounded like a smirk.
Nyx laughed manically and looked towards the person. Her cropped hair had been pulled into a very not nice plait with strands of her straw coloured hair falling into her now icy blue eyes. Her eyes turned into slits as a grotesque smile graced her features and I withheld the bile making its way to my mouth. She bowed to the Primordials and I did my very best to prevent any punches or spells being sent. Clenching my fists and breathing deeply, I waited for somebody to speak.
"My young one, how is everything going? Are you getting any news?" she – I'm going to call her "she-who-should-not-be-named" from now on – grinned evilly.
She-who-should-not-be-named spoke, her icy blue eyes cackling "But of course. What kind of servant would I be if I didn't? Now, what of your end of the bargain?"
Nyx and Erebus laughed together, wiping away fake tears. "Have patience, child," spoke Erebus, "when this battle ends with us as victors, you'll have your place on the throne – not to worry." She-who-should-not-be-named smiled evilly – like a snake actually. Anger surged through my veins as I thought about what was happening. Dark light filled my mind and I felt a hand on my forehead. Slowly, (and I do mean slowly) I felt my brain begin to comprehend the voices surrounding me.
"Is she okay?"
"What happened?"
"Is she waking up?"
My eyes fluttered open but quickly shut again due to the brightness surrounding me. Once my eyes adjusted to the light, I slowly peeled my eyes open again and saw Chaos, the twins, and Morpheus surrounding me. Morpheus pulled his hand from my head and looked at me with his pale blue eyes and cool expression, but I could still see the fear in his eyes. Morpheus treated me like a daughter and actually was my mentor when it came to dreams and messages. Chaos was very close with the gods from both Earth and everywhere else, so we could be trained very easily on the different specialities of being royals of Chaos – blah blah blah. Back to topic before I get too distracted. I slowly pushed myself up off the cold ground and felt the anger surging my body as the thoughts from that dream returned.
"Father, make a vortex. Now." He quickly created a vortex and I jumped through, remembering the thoughts of Camp Half Blood.
My feet touched the ground and I felt my friends stumbling through the vortex just behind me. I felt the wind pick up as my anger increased. That *insert name of female dog here* decided to turn her back on the people who called her family. Not only would she regret the pain she'll cause, but I'm not going to be the worst of it – no, I was only the beginning. I sprinted to the clearing from the dream, my feet pounding on the earth below.
Beta saw me and waved but I just kept running. He soon joined in the group of people behind me - these being Serena, Coral, my father, and now Beta. I stopped at the clearing and looked at the grass below my feet, scrunching my eyebrows as my mind ran faster than I just had. She was here! I thought angrily. I know it sounded childish but I might have actually stomped my foot on the ground. Beta looked to me for an explanation but I looked back at him with equal determination.
Slowly releasing my fist and breathing out, I turned around and began walking to the lake. Beta ran after me again and I stopped as soon as I arrived at the picturesque water. I looked at Beta as he mumbled something. He fell to the ground and I watched as he placed his palm onto the ground, the markings along his hands and arms glowing slightly. His eyes turned a bright green while he chanted. He looked up at me, nodding – he knew I had my ideas of what was wrong – and we began running towards the top of this hill. As we arrived we saw the soldiers all forming a line across the hill, blocking the hoard of monsters, titans and a tonne of other creatures.
"Hello friends! Miss me?" called a voice, demigods and soldiers shuffled uneasily while people like Beta, Annabeth, the others that came with Beta and I were shaking in anger.
My voice echoed across the hill, saying I was pissed and furious was a supreme understatement. "Why did you do it? Why turn your back on the ones who love you? Are you really that bad in the head?"
She looked at me with her light blue eyes and I fought the urge to run at her and attack her with everything I had. "Why do you think I did it, princess?" she spat, "I've always been in the background, waiting to be the best one out there. But with you and Beta around, that would never happen. You two were always in my way of being the best, and I hated it. But, guess what, when we win this battle. Not only will I be Princess of Chaos, but I'll be the Princess of Olympus. And the world, but we'll ignore that one."
The earth began shaking violently as somebody's anger increased – and it wasn't mine. Monsters fell over and I noticed that the earthquake was sent to the enemy, meaning somebody on our side was furious – you know, besides me. One voice spoke among the crowd.
"No."
Don't hate me! I like its ending. Shout out to SexyPurpleBeast for betaing this. Check out my profile for a little message from my other friend, Perceus Ellem Jackson!
