Here is another chapter with the party. I'm not really satified with this one, but it's better than nothing :)
Here is your chapter, good reading!
"Now it's time to party! Yeah!" Elveril and the son of Poseidon chuckled and nodded. And they instantly turned to Aphrodite.
"As much as I don't like it, we will need you to pick our clothes for use please" Said Percy. Aphrodite squealed in delight and led the Fighters to her palace.
After an hour of trying different outfits, they settled on a black tuxedo with a bow tie and a white button up shirt. The two lieutenants had a gold signet ring with their father sign, or creator in Elveril's case. A trident for Percy and a flame for Elveril.
They walked out of the pink palace and went for the throne room, which had been reorganized with a stage and a large screen for the karaoke. Gradually, everyone, gods and demigods alike, entered the room and groups were made, everyone began to chat. Until Apollo spoke.
"Hello everyone! We are here today for a karaoke! And since it's the idea of Percy, I think he should come on stage and begin! So Perce, come with Elv up here!" Everyone cheered, except for the two.
They reluctantly walked to the god of the Sun and waited for the song to be displayed on the screen. They both grinned when they saw the title of the song, Feeling Good by Michael Buble.
(I won't write the lyrics, you can find them on the net.)
As they sung, the girls began to drool and look hungrily at the two lieutenants. Thalia on the contrary, looked at her mistress and saw her staring at her cousin with dreamy eyes and slightly opened mouth, making her smirk.
That's what I thought, she has a crush on Perce. Thought the daughter of Zeus with a lopsided grin, making her scowl.
I should stop hanging around Kelp Head, I begin to copy his habits. Then, she noticed the coldest goddess of all, in personality and powers, Khione, and saw the stars in her eyes as she stared at the second lieutenant.
The song ended and Apollo walked on the stage and put a hand on each guy before they could walk away.
"One more song and you can go. Okay guys? Choose the song and if you want, a third person to sing with." They looked at each other, and an idea seemed to appear in each other mind at the same moment, they smiled and faced the crowd.
"We want Shay up here on the stage! Come on Demon boy! Get over here!" Yelled Percy. Magical spotlights illuminated the place were Shay was standing. And the demi Primordial sighed.
"Okay, but only one song! Understood!" Both nodded quickly, a stupid grin plastered on their face and the three faced the screen. The first notes rang in air and Elveril smiled.
"Oh yeah! Symphony of the Night by DragonForce! That's a good choice!" And the trio began to sing, as the atmosphere took them, their power seemed to make an aura, shadows slowly swirling around Shay, small pieces of ice rising around Percy and small flames spontaneously combusting on Elveril.
As the song ended, the crowd went wild and the three powerful boys jumped of the scene before Apollo could find another excuse to keep them.
The next singer walked up the stage while the Fighters sat on some comfy chairs, a glass in their hands, and began talking casually. Elveril didn't notice the two goddesses approaching with Thalia and bean a dangerous subject.
As he sipped on his whiskey, he looked at Percy dead in the eyes, an unreadable poker face on.
"So Icey Boy, How is it going with your godly crush?" Percy coughed and looked at him with wide eyes and red cheeks.
"I have no idea of what you're talking about Glitchy, but I have to ask you the same question. Isn't she too cold with you?" Replied Percy, his eyes narrowed and laugher present in it. Elveril nearly dropped his glass when he heard a feminine voice.
"Who is too cold with him?" Asked Khione. Elveril was about to dismiss and deny the conversation but Anthony was faster.
"Why, you of course." Answered the son of Trivia. A glass shattered on the floor. Elveril was frozen in place. Khione seemed to be taken aback for a moment before she caught hold on herself.
"Why, I always thought playing with ice cubes was… exciting." Loudly whispered the goddess as she ran a finger on the protector's chest. The said person gulped and his cheek reddened.
Khione smiled.
"Are you too hot? Come with me, I can help you with that. But you might want to go somewhere more… private." The whole Fighters were laughing there asses off, as well as Thalia and Artemis. But they were caught off guard when Elveril spoke back with a deep, sexy and lust charged voice.
"Be careful, playing with fire is dangerous." Said the son of Hearth as he put a hand on her lower back. He leaned in and kissed her softly and tenderly, making her pale cheek redden in embarrassment. They walked out of the room, cuddled in each other's embrace.
The Stolls looked stunned. Travis spoke.
"Whoa! I knew he had his way with words and ladies, but that much! He has my eternal respect." Said the son of Hermes. His brother nodded, followed by the other males. Thalia then faced her cousin with an evil smirk.
"I heard that he asked a similar question by the way! So tell us. What's the lady's name?" Urged Thalia. Percy looked at her and shook his head furiously.
"No one! Seriously no one!" But Thalia smiled sweetly.
"Come on Perce, you can't lie, tell us, you will feel better." But Percy refused.
"No no no no no, no, no and no! I care about my male parts, my life and my human form! So no way I'm telling you! Especially now!" Answered the son of the Sea. And he fell in her trap.
"So, you don't want to tell us. But you said you cared about your ale parts and life, which indicated she a maiden, then, you told us you cared about your life, indicating she is in the hunt, and finally, you answered you liked your human form, indicating only one person." Percy paled, stoop up and terror took him. He pleaded her with his eyes but Thalia continued.
"Her name is Artemis." Silence fell around them, Percy took another step away and reshaped his arm in a blade and took a defensive stance, absolute terror still shining in his white eyes. Artemis walked to him but with each step she took, he move back. Making her sadden.
"Do you think I am that evil?" Asked the goddess.
"You aren't known to be kind, the myth describes you more like a sadistic against the men. And I am not the most respectful one. So I just take care of my health." Answered Percy as a tear rolled down his face. Artemis let down a tear.
"So I scare you… I scare you… I thought we had a connection… But it was only from fear of being hurt… I… I am sorry…" Percy frowned and his arm took its original shape. He walked carefully to her before hugging her.
"No, it was real. I really had fun joking with you and traveling with you. It's just that my years of experience made me wary of the reaction of the gods, especially the goddesses. Well, apart from Ares, he is just a wimp." At that Artemis chuckled and hugged him tight. Ares roared at the insult and summoned a sword. But Artemis, in a second, fired a silver arrow at him. She growled.
"Threaten him again War god, and I will tear you apart. No one touches him." Percy smiled a put his hand on her shoulder, making her relax. But Ares snickered.
"Hiding behind your girlfriend punk?" Percy smiled innocently.
"At least I've got one, unlike you who have a slut. And I do remember I won against you in a duel when I was twelve." Cheekily answered Percy. At that, many of the gods snickered. Ares summoned again his sword, but instantly, every present fighter were combat ready.
In a bust of flame, a half-naked, uncombed and pissed off Elveril appeared, both guns out, his torso flaming.
"Run away now. You just interrupted something great, which means I am really, really pissed off." Ares scoffed and Percy cringed.
"Ansatsu no jutsu, Lasting Pain." Elveril snarled. And he fired a bullet. Ares dropped on the ground.
"I fired in your liver sectioned a main artery and your spine. You will die, but slowly and painfully." Growled Elveril. Percy shook his head in despair.
"This god is annoying. Well, Artemis, I hope you can flash him away, him and his blood." Artemis nodded and soon, everything went back to normal. The party ended in the middle of the night and everyone went to bed or Camp Half-Blood.
The tomorrow morning, Percy woke up next to a sleeping, comfy and happy goddess of the Hunt. He kissed her forehead and walked out of where he was sleeping, his chamber in Hades cabin. He bumped in someone and saw on the ground Elveril, half awake. He laughed.
"Sorry bro. So, had a good night?" Asked Percy as he help Elverilae up. The protector nodded and sat on a chair before summoning coffee for both of them.
"Yeah and you? I heard you come back with someone, I guess it was Artemis." Percy nodded and the two began to discuss silently, teasing each other about their girlfriend and enjoying the silent morning. Until they realized the hour. Percy cursed.
"Man! It's nine o'clock! Chiron will wonder where we are! And we have to train!" Elveril stood up and at the same moment, Khione and Artemis walked out of the rooms, both wearing a shorty and their respective boyfriend's shirt from last night. They greeted each other and saw the two guys running around, searching their clothes. Khione chuckled softly while Artemis shook her head.
"Guys. You were with two goddesses, I doubt Chiron will blame you. Don't worry, and if you want your clothes, then just ask." And Artemis snapped her finger, making their usual outfit appear in front of them. They smiled and thanked her before dressing up. They kissed their girl and ran to the arena, where the campers were having a sword lesson on a side while the Fighters were training with their powers on the other side. Chiron saw them and frowned.
"What were you doing boys? You are late, you weren't even at breakfast." Began the centaur. Both took a sheepish expression.
"Well, Chiron, you see, we have a really good alibi. You see, we were, how can I say that." Began Percy. Elveril caught on.
"We were occupied with two goddesses" Said the son of Hestia, insisting on the word 'occupied' to make him understand. Chiron's eyes widened.
"I see. Congratulation. Now, train on something. I don't know what you lack of now. Apart from Percy who still don't know how to use a bow." Elveril laughed as Percy's shoulder slumped down.
