Sorry for the wait! My internet has been really wacky for the past few weeks and I finally had a chance to update. Sorry if it seems a little short or OOC, but Riordan didn't exactly give me a lot to work with concerning Connor's character, ya know? So I went with it, and this happened.
Thanks to everyone who reviewed and enjoyed the Travis chapter; I love you enjoy this one as well! (:
Disclaimer: I do not own Percy Jackson and the Olympians or Heroes of Olympus.
Though Connor would probably never admit it out loud (he just wasn't the type of guy to go around preaching his feelings), Percy Jackson was one of his best friends. They weren't the type of friends who giggled and watched movies together or anything like that, but they were always sharing jokes and Percy and he did a lot of sparring during the Second Titan War in the arena, which surprisingly enough, was a good way to start a friendship. (Not to mention Percy was usually stupid enough to help out whenever Connor had plans of provoking Clarisse.)
So, obviously it hit him hard when Percy randomly went missing. And not long after the Titan War, either! Connor would have probably been able to shrug it off if it was during the war, at least that made sense. More often than not, Percy was off saving world, rather than actually being a "normal" camper. But wasn't all that over? Wasn't there supposed to peace now?
It was weird, because Connor could also see how it was affecting everyone else as well. The son of Hermes had always been exceptional at reading people: their emotions, their reactions, their honestly in what their saying. He supposed it had something to do with being a son of Hermes.
So while he was dealing with his own little "where did Percy go?" troubles, he could see everyone else's as well… even if they did their best to hide it. How Annabeth just wanted to collapse, how Clarisse was worried in her own right, how Lou Ellen seemed dazed, how Chiron was backing off, reserving himself.
It was weird, watching the entire camp fall apart but stay exactly the same in Percy's disappearance. The same cabins, the same forest, the same people… but a missing leader, a missing friend. (A missing hope? That always was Percy's department; he never would seem to give up.) And Connor wasn't going to lie, it scared him.
Ah, so Connor. Again, sorry if it seemed OOC. All we really get from Connor is that he's Travis' younger brother (they're not twins, people!) and that he fell out of a tree... yeah. So, anyways I hope you enjoyed it. Reviews, pretty please?
See you soon! Next...? (:
