I'm not even sure what the fight was about, to be honest. Nico sent me to the kitchen so I couldn't get hurt. I heard Petalouda, Nico, and Leo arguing. I'm pretty sure they were just all fighting with each other. Sometimes Petalouda and Leo would agree, sometimes Nico and Leo would, and sometimes it was just chaos.
I was trying to heat up some of the mac 'n cheese from last night for breakfast. It wasn't the most appetizing meal, but it was better than nothing. As I was putting the bowl in the microwave I heard something shadder. It made me jump, and apparently I got scared because the sink faucet started spraying water onto the floor.
I groaned and yelled for them to keep it down. I got really fed up when I heard something else shadder. I stomped into the living room and almost killed someone on sight. Two vases were broken. I truly didn't care about the vases, but I knew that I would have to clean them up. I felt like a mother taking care of three toddlers, and I was about to hurt one of them, maybe more. If this was what it's like having kids, I'm never having them.
Petalouda was arguing with Nico and Leo, they seemed to agree on something. I think it was about Calypso and Toni. Great, just what I needed, note the sarcasm. Apparently Petalouda said we should just turn back, and that Toni would be dead before we even got there. Leo however, didn't agree with that, at all. He wanted to fight her, even if Toni was dead. Just to avenge her. I now understood why Nico was on Leo's side. Even if he would do that for me, I know he almost did it for his late sister, and would do it if anyone hurt his other sister.
I didn't take part in the fight. They all shut up when I stepped into the room. I never thought myself as a scary person, but I guess the busted sink and the look on my face scared even Petalouda.
"We're going to find my best friend, end of discussion," I told them. To avoid another fight I grabbed Nico and Leo by their ears and dragged them out of the room. I didn't care to hear another fight, or another vase broken. I left the room and dragged the boys with me to my room. After I slammed the door shut I just stared at them. Leo was shifting his weight between his two feet. And Nico was trying to look at anything but me and Leo.
"What the actual fuck, was that?" I asked them after a moment of silence. Leo didn't say anything. So when I looked at Nico, he started talking.
"You know what most of the fight was about. She doesn't see a point in going after Toni, we do. Simple as that,"
"Who broke the vases?"
"Those two morons," Nico told me while pointing at Leo and in the direction of the living room. I just rolled my eyes and sent the boys out of the room, after making sure they went to their rooms. Nico wanted to stay, but I wanted space. I felt like breaking down, and he knew it.
I missed having Toni around. True, she was a pain in my side, a walking headache, and was down right irritating, but I loved her. She was like my sister. I spent almost my entire life in the Home, she showed up when she was about five I think it was. She never left her brother's side. Every time someone tried to talk to her, or touch her. She hid behind her brother, he never paid much attention to it. Toni wouldn't go anywhere without Josh, except the bathroom. I think he appreciated that. It must've been nice having a sibling around. I wonder where he is now?
I was brought out of my thoughts when Leo ran in my room jumping up and down screaming,"We're here! We've here!" Then he ran down the hall and repeated the episode with Nico and even Petalouda. I touched my necklaces, just needing a reminder that they were there, and then walked out the door. I was ready to get my best friend back.
On my way out I remembered something, I still never got my mac 'n cheese.
The next chapter will include Calypso, not happy about that... This story is almost over, but I'm thinking about doing a sequel. I am currently working on another book. It's demi-god related too, and I have the first chapter done. I haven't posted it yet, I still need to figure out a title, and I want to get at least three other chapters done first. Please comment, like, and review!
