A/N Thanks to y'all who reviewed! I'd do shout outs but there is just too many!
Previously:
"He's leaving soon, Adonia." A voice rang through my head.
Presently:
" No!" I shouted, freezing in place.
"What?" Asked Thalia.
"I have a feeling that our in-sync dream is coming true. Tomorrow."
"We'll tell Lady Artemis tonight, right now act as if everything is normal."
"Got it."
We gathered all of the hunters and gave them positions, I was on offense with Thalia, Vicky, and RoseAbell. When the conch horn blew Thalia and I led the attack.
"When we see the flag, Adonia, climb the tree where you have good shooting range at the defenders. Shoot at them while we get the flag." Thalia told me, I nodded.
When the flag came in sight I did exactly what she told me to do. Ha! Nico was on defense! I climbed the tree and notched three arrows on the string, pulled back, and released. The arrows were flaming (all hail the godly powers) and landed right at their feet. I wanted to freak Nico out a bit so I tried the mind implanting thing.
"I told you I would see you on the battlefield, Hero." I said into his mind.
I almost laughed out loud when I saw him jump and look around. Then as if someone else spoke into his mind he started searching the trees, I was moving farther back into the branches, to hopefully be covered by their shadows. Epic fail, I fell out of the tree with a squeak, I happened to grab onto a branch before I as able to hit the ground. So I was now hanging from one arm onto a branch 40 feet in the air. I'm pretty sure Nico heard the squeak, because he sent the other two defenders towards my tree. They were now standing under me, slashing at my feet. But I did have success in distracting them, too bad I was probably going to get maimed. Then Nico started walking over here. When he got here, he just barely dodged my foot. He told the others he would handle me and to go back to their post.
"Really Nico? Seriously?" I asked, finally swinging up and sitting on the branch.
"It's the only way I could talk to you considering the fact you're avoiding me." He explained, geez why did he have to be so obnoxious?
" Okay, fine. But I am NOT coming down."
"Fine."
"Fine."
"Fine."
"NICO! Just get on with it."
"Fine." I glared at him. "What did you mean by it was for my own good."
"Nothing I meant absolutely nothing."
"No, I can tell when you're lying you meant something."
"No, no I don't think so."
"Yes, yes I think so."
"Ugh now you're turning into kailey!"
"Am not!" Nico protested.
"Are you sure? Because I know for a fact every time I say 'No,no I don't think so' she says exactly what you said!" I pointed out.
I heard cheers erupt from our side of the creek, I looked over to see our plan had worked. Thalia was holding up the flag! But Nico's still at the base of the tree sigh.
"You can leave now." Is it like a hunter's gift to be completely annoyed by boys after joining?
"No, I can't. Not until you tell me what you meant by 'it's for your own good'." Nico snapped, ugh why can't he just let me down!
"I'm not going to tell you! Not even if your life depended on it! No wait, I'd tell you then but only then." Oh crap, now I get the vision with the cliffs. Joy, oh, joy! (Warning the previous sentence was overdosed with sarcasm).
" Only if my life depended on it, huh?" He smirked.
"GOD DAMMIT, NICO LET ME DOWN!" Yah, sometimes profanity is the only way to go.
Out of the corner of my eye I saw Thalia walking towards the tree I was in, I'm guessing she was wondering why I wasn't joining the celebration. Not. My. Fault. I was also pretty sure she had heard my swearing, meh, don't care. I was trying to wave her over the best I could with out falling out of the tree, epic fail. I had to stop waving before she even saw me. I was going to shout but the look on Nico's face said, shout-and-I-send-you-to-Tartarus. What's his problem? Oh well, I'd rather go to Tartarus then be stuck in a tree all my life.
"THALIA! OVER HERE! HURRY!" I shouted, then smirked at Nico. Thalia jogged over.
"What are you doing up there still?" Thalia asked, confused.
"The Ghost King doesn't seem to want to let me down."
"NICO!" Thalia shouted, I hadn't noticed he had been trying to hide himself in the shadows.
"Yes, lieutenant?" Nico sassed, geez what's his problem?
"Let my co-lieutenant down!" Apparently Nico didn't know I was her 'co-captain'.
"I don't think so."
"SON OF HADES!" A fierce and slightly scary voice yelled.
Oh crap.
Who is this mystery voice? Will Nico live to the cliffs? Will I ever stop talking in this weird voice?
