Tia's POV
Shawn… considering you don't die in war… I will kill you! You completely abandoned camp, me, Tori. Curse your honesty! Why didn't you run?
Those were the thoughts I was thinking while comforting Tori on the hill. Now, 5 days later, nothing has changed about my thoughts. But camp has changed greatly. Everyone was sad. No laughs, no pranks, no nothing! There was also a horrible fight between Annabeth and Percy the other day. I shuddered just to think of it.
Flashback, Three Days Ago
I walked outside my cabin, after hearing a big fight going on outside. Annabeth and Percy were standing in the middle of the cabins, fighting. AGAIN. I stepped closer to listen.
"Percy. Don't leave camp to go to war! It's unwise! You could be waiting this out!" Annabeth argued. Then I realized Tori had said a similar thing a couple of nights ago. "I don't understand why you are fighting while you could help us stop the war. It's more logical."
"But I need to help Shawn! I've been fighting longer than him. He needs me!" Percy insisted.
"What about me?" Annabeth yelled.
"Annabeth you know I love you but I have to…"
"No you don't! Stop acting like a hero all the time!" Annabeth scolded.
"Annabeth!"
"Don't you 'Annabeth' me! Fine! Go to war! Don't expect me to be at your funeral!" She turned her back on him. Percy stormed off to his cabin. I think I heard a faint "Ow!" from his cabin. He must have been so aggravated he kicked his bed.
After he slammed his door, Annabeth let her tears flow. Tori comforted her, and so did the entire Athena cabin, and, of course, all of my half siblings.
End of Flashback
Tori and Annabeth are pretty close friends now. They've been trying to stay off the topic of boys. I used this opportunity.
I ran to the Iris cabin. I got a drachma out and threw it in the mist that forever flowed.
"Oh Iris, goddess of the rainbow, accept my offering. Show me Shawn, Olympus!" I recited. Shawn's face appeared in the mist. he was strapping on armor in some room. He didn't notice me yet.
"Shawn you idiot!" I screamed. He flinched when he heard my sharp tone. He turned to see me.
"Hi Tia. Anything new?" He asked, purposely trying to stay away from Tori's topic.
"Oh quit stalling! Why?"
"You know why. It really hurt me to leave camp. But I have to!"
"No you don't!" I decided to use Annabeth's technique, "Stop playing hero! What are you getting out of this?"
"I get my dad's respect!"
"And Zeus's fury."
"So?"
"Idiot."
"Why do you care so much?"
"I care about my best friend!" I argued. Shawn looked away.
"I thought I told you…"
"You did, but that doesn't change the fact that Tori is looking like death itself!" I snapped. I didn't want to get all out of hand, but I had to. He wasn't listening to reason.
"Tia…"
"Shawn, I wanted this talk to go well. I'm sorry if I'm yelling, but now Percy is coming to help you and Annabeth's heartbroken too! Percy hasn't left camp yet, so if you come back now, two broken hearts will be fixed, two lives will be spared, and the camp will be happy again. Everyone misses you. Tori and Annabeth are currently crying on each other's shoulders. Even the prank war is less fun. Nobody played any pranks since the night you left! Do you care about any of that or not?" I stated a fair and convincing argument. Shawn would be crazy not to listen to me.
"Is it really that bad?" He asked, ready to give in. I nodded. Then, being the idiot he is, he cut the connection with his sword.
SHAWN!
Shawn's POV
Like an idiot, I cut the connection with my blade. Why did I do it? I couldn't hear anymore of Tia's pleads to come back. If I did, or had the chance to answer, I would just give in. I convinced myself I was doing the right thing. I finished getting on my armor, and stepped out onto the battlefield.
It was a terrifying scene. Fighters were already fighting. So many in fact, it was an endless sea of soldiers! Fighters from the Army came as well, and mortals. I saw houses on fire, trees collapsing, and blood. Lots of it. I was in a Kansas field, fighting. There wasn't many people, so this is where it begun. But soon, the entire country would be a battlefield. I did the stupid, yet obvious thing. I ran in to battle.
HK: Sorry, it was a shorty. But it was necessary! Remember to…
TT: *Bursts into room with crutches* You were saying?
TV: *Runs into room* They wouldn't let anyone under the age of 18 get insurance. Now, RUN TORI, RUN!
HK: Already got the memo! Remember to review, and BYE! *Runs*
TT: *Goes after Tori at a slow rate* Aw… what the heck! * Holds crutches and runs after Tori*
TV: Also, please remember to read our other stories, Interviews with Demigods, Embarrassing Memories of Percy Jackson, and Love Stuck Percy Jackson! Thank you!
