::Chapter twelve::
::Hey Juliet::
"Hey Max, I had no idea you were a satyr." I said as he nodded sheepishly and said, "I'm still not very good." I shrugged and told him that whether he's GOOD or NOT didn't really matter because he's SMART. He laughed and said that made no sense. I wondered who her parent was. Not Zeus, Poseidon or Hades, I tended to get along with them and they would've broken the treaty since it hasn't been that long since Percy lifted it. Apollo's were usually blonde. Artemis's still a virgin as far as I'm concerned but it's not like I really I'm really going to IM her and ask her that. Athena, no she didn't have the grey eyes and she didn't seem smart at all. Hermes, not likely, she didn't have that trademark smirk and glint in her features. Aphrodite maybe, she seemed vain enough but her tattered clothes took away that option. Ares, not built well enough though certainly had the attitude. She had the smell of a Demeter kid, a flowery scent.
The little brat had purplish hair and stood about my height, for some reason I'd always imagined Demeter kids holding Easter baskets with chocolate eggs and flowers. I don't know why, just something about their personality and attraction to flowers I guess and she didn't look like that. Her face was dirt matted and her hair was wild and clearly hadn't been brushed in awhile. Her sweatshirt was worn and tattered as were her jeans. But she didn't seem to mind at all. I kept staring at her until we met up with the others she glared back, good thing I was good at glaring…I kept my eyes steady until we came upon the others.
"What's her name?" Jake asked me.
I shrugged and said sardonically, "Apparently it's too good to tell me."
He turned to the girl and asked, "What's your name?"
She smiled and said, "My name's Victoria Copper, I'm a daughter of Demeter…"
I groaned and muttered aloud, "Well no wonder I don't like you…that explains your crappy attitude and lack of gratitude…"
She turned me and said, "Your one to talk about crappy attitudes!"
"LISTEN KID! YOU COULD AT LEAST SAY THANKS! I JUST SAVED YOUR LIFE!" I growled and shouted back, Damn girl!
"I DIDN'T NEED THE HELP! AND I'M NOT A KID! I'M FOURTEEN!" She shouted angrily…
I laughed hypercritically and said, "YOU'RE A KID TO ME! I'VE LIVED MORE THEN A THOUSAND OF YOUR DAMN LIVES! I'M OLDER THAN YOUR FATHER!"
She growled and asked, "WHO'S YOUR GODLY PARENT ANYWAY?"
I glared and said, "Kronos! Titan King of time…"
She scoffed and said, "So you're the girl who's destined to be the traitor…the offspring of evil."
THAT WAS GOING TOO FAR! "I'm nothing like my father and you better remember that damn bitch…" I hissed coldly.
"Kai calm down…we have to get her to camp…" Nico said, "In one piece." He added.
"Doesn't mean that one piece can't be slightly disfigured and limping." I muttered…as I grudgingly agreed.
"Fine…" I said as we took the brat back to the hotel room. Damn girl…what did she know!
…
We got back to the camp and stood on half-blood hill when I was jerked up by a large hand I immediately reacted and kneed the person in the stomach I couldn't tell because of the huge helmet they wore. "DAMMIT!" They shouted as the helmet I recognized as the sign of Ares.
"Ah, Clarisse!" I exclaimed, "is that you? If I'd known it was you I would kneed you harder sorry."
The helmet was jerked off and sure enough it was her. She glared at me as I grinned mockingly she said Chiron said to bring us to the Big House.
"Miss me Mr. D?" I asked him, "I missed YOU!" He rolled his blood shot eyes.
"This is Victoria Copper daughter of Demeter." Jake said as I reached for a coke and a hand full of trail mix. And I was pleased to find that it was indeed the cheesy kind.
"You all get some sleep we'll talk about this tomorrow." Chiron said as we obliged quite willingly.
In the morning we all gathered in the big house, I noticed Rachel was there… "It's time to discus this great prophecy…" Chiron said gesturing to Rachel, as she opened her mouth and began…
Seven half-bloods shall answer the call
To storm or fire the world must fall
An oath to keep with a final breath
And foes bear arms to the doors of death
I sighed, knowing my luck, I'll be the one with the 'final breath'.
"Nikai Laskaris, Nico di Angelo, Trenton Zyset, Zane Trike, Jake Andrews, Avalin Mazewell, and Victoria Copper have answered to the call…" Chiron stated.
"Who's going to lead the mission?" I asked while attempting to balance a coke can on my finger. Was there a god of balance?
As Chiron turned to Mr. D, he looked up from Wine Weekly with an astonished looking face. An astonished look slightly mixed with a complete drunk guy appearance.
"Just because I'm the god here means I have to make all the decisions?" He asked skeptically.
We nodded, "Pretty much." We said in unison as he groaned.
"Uh, fine, Nicky, Naomi, N- or whatever her-"
"Nikai…" Chiron said, Mr. D rolled his eyes.
"Whatever! I knew it started with an A! She'll lead the mission." He said while waving his godly pudgy fingers in the now tainted air that he himself tainted by being alive breathing his booze-smelling breath into the once clean air.
"Why me?" I asked playing with a ping pong ball, HOW DID THEY GET THESE THINGS SO ROUND?
"Because! Usually it's the leaders who go down first!" Mr. D retorted smirking.
I glared and said sarcastically smiling, "Well then, aren't you generous…"
He nodded and said, "Well, I am a very generous person! So, I hope you die a quick and painless death, and preferably soon." I rolled my eyes again…
"Gee, thanks! I'll be sure to die a really spectacular death JUST for you." I snapped.
I hung out with Nico and the others trying to come up with theme songs for, Thalia, Zane, Trent, Nico, Ava, Jake, and myself all had lists trying to figure it out… (hey, this is what you do when your bored.) We all sat around in the woods talking. Thalia was in a tree branch while Zane and her glared at each other. Trent was lounging against a cedar tree and Ava was sitting next to Jake while they arm wrestled.
"Nico! Death kid…it has a ring to it…" I said he shrugged and said, "I much more prefer King of the Ghosts but that's a bit of a mouthful."
He smirked at me and said, "Your theme song is defiantly, She's a rebel by Green day."
The others nodded in agreement as I began to sing the song, "She's a rebel! She's a saint!
She's the salt of the earth and she's dangerous! She's a rebel!
Vigilante, missing link on the brink of destruction!
From Chicago to Toronto, she's the one that they call old whatsername!
She's the symbol of resistance, and she's holding on my heart like a hand grenade!
Is she dreaming, what I'm thinking? Is she the mother of all bombs gonna detonate!
Is she trouble, like I'm trouble? Make it a double twist of fate or a melody!
That-she sings the revolution the dawning of our lives!
She brings this liberation! That I just can't define nothing comes to mind!
She's a rebel! She's a saint!
She's the salt of the earth and she's dangerous!
She's a rebel! Vigilante, missing link on the brink of destruction!
She's a rebel she's a saint!
She's salt of the earth and she's dangerous!
She's a rebel! Vigilante! Missing link on the brink of destruction!
She's a rebel, She's a rebel, She's a rebel, and she's dangerous!" Thalia sang a bit with me. The others clapped and hooted. I took a huge rather dramatic bow.
"Okay…now, I think Trent's should be Hey Juliet by LMNT." I said smirked they all fell laughing, all but Trent, who was glaring at me.
"What? It's perfect, Juliet is her name isn't it?" I said smirked as I began singing that.
"HEY JULIET!" *Blocks sword* "HEY I'VE BEEN WATCHING YOU! EVERY LITTLE THING YOU DO! *dodges punch* EVERYTIME I SEE YOU PASS In my homeroom class, makes my heart beat fast! *blocks kick* I've tried to page you twice but I see you roll your eyes! *jumps, avoiding sword* Wish I could make it real, but your lips are sealed, that ain't no big deal-" He cut me off by hitting me in the head, I just couldn't stop laughing from his expression! IT WAS FRIGGEN HILARIOUS! His face was blushing a red that I didn't even know existed. His eyes were angry and his mouth was in a tight scowl.
Nico jumped in and said, "'Cause I know you really want me!"
"Yeah," We shouted.
"I hear your friends talk about me." He went on.
"Yeah!"
"So why you tryin' to do without me!" He said.
"Yeahhhh!"
"When you got me! Where you want me!" He was pinned, but Ava continued for him…
"Hey Juliet! I think, your fine, you really blow my mind! Maybe, someday, you and me can runaway!"
From there Zane came in, "I just want you to know! I wanna be your Romeo!"
"HEY JULIET!" we all shouted,.
When he finally stopped us because we collapsed in a fit of laughter.
"HEY! I don't chose theme songs for your relationships!" Trent shouted accusingly. "Your's and Nico's would be If We Were A Movie!"
"HADES NO!" I shouted as he smirked triumphantly. As I thought of something and whispered in his ear, "At least I have the guts to kiss the person I love…" From there, with a determined expression he stomped up to the Aphrodite cabin and asked to see her…
"FINALLY!"
