Answers to reviews:
zarmag: Let me make this very clear to you. The pairing will remain Drake/Silena/Thalia/Zoe, Drake and Clarisse will be friends instead of enemies like what most do. Silena is not the spy, there are other demigods Luke can use for that. End of story, stop demanding for a revote or that I make Drake and Clarisse enemies.
josh skinner: For Titan's Curse, I will.
chungorion15: Anytime.
MarauderPrime12: thanks.
Sm0keyPanda: Well, I did say they would get together during the Quest, figured there had been enough interruptions to build the tension.
kerrowe: I...don't think he will ever call them dead weights.
emiya-excalibur: Yep.
Drake woke up with a groan and his eyes blinked open, blinking a few more times to clear the sleep out of them before he felt something nuzzle against his side and looked to see Silena sleeping against his side, her head laying on his chest with a peaceful look on her beautiful face. Drake couldn't help but smile as he reached to caress her cheek, finding himself so lucky to have such an amazing and beautiful girl as his girlfriend.
'Any money dad will probably cheer and try to host a party for me.' Drake thought with a chuckle before he looked atSilena upon hearing a tired groan from her and saw she was beginning to wake up.
The daughter of Aphrodite looked around before her eyes locked with her boyfriend's and she smiled. "Hey." She whispered to him softly before leaning up and the two exchanged a soft kiss with each other. "I;m so glad it was not a dream." Silena said upon breaking the kiss.
"Same here." Drake said.
Silena's smile dropped a little. "Although...I'm not sure how your mother will take this considering my mother is her rival and-"
"Don't worry, I am positive my mother will like you and come to care for you." Drake said, pecking his girlfriend;s lips. "You make me happy, and I'm sure it makes her happy that I'm happy. Besides, once she sees you aren't like your sisters who sleep with guys and break their hearts, I'm sure she will love you."
"See me as future daughter-in-Law material?" Silena joked playfully but was serious as well.
Drake chuckled. "Yeah. Don't know what your Mom will think of me though, aside from possible bedding potential."
Silena rolled her eyes. "My Mom may sleep around a lot with handsome guys, but I am NOT letting her do the same with you. You are mine, Drake Redgrave."
"And you are mine, Silena Beauregard." Drake said and they exchanged a more heated kiss this time, Silena getting on top of her boyfriend as they spent the next few minutes making out with each other before eventually breaking it.
Afterwards, they decided to get dressed. Drake in his usual clothes while Silena got dressed in a short sleeved blue shirt and blue jeans that hugged her hips and legs. Drake looked her over with a smirk and as he followed after her, noticed her swaying her hips which drew his eyes to her ass and he grinned as Silena threw him a wink over her shoulder.
As they entered the kitchens, they found Clarisse at a table eating her breakfast. She looked up at them upon hearing them enter and approch, but her eyes went to their joined hands and narrowed before she saw how Silena leaned against Drake and the happy smiles on their faces. It soon hit her and a grin lit up on the daughter of Ares' face.
"Well it's about time!" She laughed. "I thought I was gonna have to lock you two in a room after drugging you with a sex drink or something."
"Good thing you didn't." Silena said as he sat down with Drake sitting next to her.
"Well like I said, it's about damn time. The entire camp has been betting on how you two will get together." Clarisse said before she looked thoughtful. "Hmm, seems half will be winning for the bet on 'get together during quest'."
"Glad to know we are everyone's favourite bet. A son of Artemis and daughter of Aphrodite getting together, at least it's not like Paris and Helen." Drake said, shivering. He read the story and watched the movie Troy involving that debacle. He really did not want to go through that. Then again, the movie just showed it was Paris' lust for Helen and deciding to take her with him to Troy that sparked the Ten year Trojan war.
But there was no ten years of war in the movie.
Clarisse smiled before it fell as she glared at Drake and pointed her fork at him. "Listen here, Silena is my best friend and I love her like a sister. If you hurt her or she ever comes to me crying about you hurting her in ANY way...I will make sure not even your mother will find your remains, Wolf boy."
Drake rolled his eyes but he did smile and nod. "Crystal, and I would rather stay down in Hades for eternal suffering than hurt Silena at all."
Clarisse nodded, already knowing that he wouldn't hurt her. I twas against his nature since his mother was Artemis and she too would be very pisse dif her son hurt a girl's feelings and broke her heart. "Good." A smile soon came onto her face. "When you two get married in the future, I demand to be a bridesmaid."
"Clarisse!" Silena said with a blush. "We just got together, we don't want to think about marriage! that's ages away to consider."
Clarisse just shrugged with her grin still in place. "AFter breakfast, you and I will be talking, no excuses. I want details on how good of a kisser he is."
Silena nodded eagerly, their girly sides coming out more. Drake rolled his eyes, sometimes he will never understand girls. Teenage girls were always so confusing, weren't they?
After breakfast, Silena and Clarisse went off to have their girls talk which Drake happily left them to do. He stood on the deck of the ship away from the zombie crew and took out a coin, muttering.
"O' Iris, Goddess of Rainbows, show me Annabeth Chase."
He flipped the coin into the air and sprayed it with some water from his water bottle before a misty screen began to form.
When it lit up, it showed him images of Annabeth, Percy, and Tyson somewhere. The latter two were sleeping while the former was still awake.
"Annabeth Chase." He said in what he liked to call his 'stern, older brother' tone.
Annabeth jumped in surprise and looked around before she spotted him through the Irish message, arms crossed and a displeased look on his face which made Annabeth cower a little, knowing he was not happy.
"Drake." Annabeth said in surprise quietly, not wanting to wake up the others.
"Annabeth...you and those two with you are in so much trouble." Drake said, still keeping his stern tone.
Annabeth looked at the floor sadly, hating that her 'big brother' was angry with her.
"i-I know you're angry, but please understand that we can't just sit back and not do anything to save Grover."
"And what do you think Clarisse, Silena and I are doing? We were going to save Grover and find the Fleece, kill two birds with one stone. Do you have such little faith and trust in me that I cannot rescue one of my friends?" Drake said with a hurt, disappointed tone.
"No." She almost yelled but was able to say it quietly, not liking to hear her big brother hurt and disappointed with her. "We know that you would do everything in your power to save Grover and save the camp at the same time. We know doing this is selfish, but we just wanted to help.
"You do know upon hearing what you three had done, Clarisse was very angry and wanted your heads on a silver platter." Drake stated.
Annabeth winced but was not surprised that the daughter of Ares would want that. "A-And Silena?"
"Same as me, and it's her first quest after all." Drake said.
Annabeth nodded before she thought of something and looked at him. "How did you know we left camp?"
"Mr. D." Was his answer, making her grumble. "Be thankful I convinced him to not let you three get kicked out of camp."
"What?!" Annabeth shouted, almost waking the two boys up. "B-But, Camp's my home!"
"Relax, I convinced him not to do so but you three will still be punished." Drake said in a reassuring manner. He wouldn't see her kicked out, no way in hell or the Underworld. Annabeth looked relived. "The punishment will last all summer, but it's better than being kicked out."
"Okay." Annabeth nodded, accepting they will be punished. She knew they would not be given reqards for this upon going back to camp.
"Now where are you three?" Drake asked.
Annabeth told him of what has happaned since she, Percy, and Tyson left camp, not lying about anything or holding back as she told him everything straight up to them meeting Luke ona shit called the Princess Andromeda. Drake narrowed his eyes when she told him about the monsters Luke had along with the unclaimed demigods that had gone missing recently.
"Drake, there was something else, a golden sarcophagus with the symbol of a scythe." Annabeth said with a serious voice. "Do you know who's in it?"
"Kronos, or at least whatever is left of him." Drake stated and she nodded. "The scythe is his symbol. So it seems Luke is trying to bring him back to life, why else would they keep it with them? Decoration? It would be hard, Kronos was sliced to pieces by Zeus with his own scythe." he shook his head. "We will talk about this later, do NOT leave your position, we'll be there in a few hours."
"okay, thank you Drake." Annabeth said before the message disappeared.
Drake sighed and went to go find Silena and Clarisse, he was not looking forward to telling Clarisse this, knowing what her reaction would be.
He arrived at where they were, seeing they were whispering about something that made them both giggle but he didn't listen in and cleared his throat to get their attention. "Finished?" He asked dryly.
"Yes we are." Silena said, walking up and kissing his cheek which made him grin. "Hope you weren't listening. After all, we were talking about stuff that would leave you as red as a tomato."
"Nah, I value my life." Drake said. "Now if you two are done with the girl talk about whatever that I really don't want to know...I spoke with Annabeth."
Silena nodded while Clarisse gritted her teeth, still pissed at those two. Drake quickly explained where Annabeth and the other two were and that they were ona ship being controlled by Luke.
"Can't we just leave them?" Clarisse once the explanation was done and Drake said they were going to get Annabeth, Percy and Tyson.
"no." Drake shot her down right away. "i ain't leaving them."
Clarisse grunted and walked away, telling them she'll give the navigator the coordinates of the three idiots.
"So, Hermes thinks Luke can be redeemed." Silena stated and Drake nodded. "What do you think?"
"I don't think he can. I think Krnos has gotten too far into his head and manipulated his hate for Hermes and the gods too much for him to try and change to a good guy. Plus he poisoned a tree that has the spirit of one of his best friends inside, a girl he fought beside. If he can do that with no remorse, then it means he's too far gone. Annabeth also thinks he can be brought back, though that's either her friendship with him talking or her crush on him talking. Not everyone can be saved from the dark side. We all have to accept that Luke has made his choice and path clear."
"So, if the time comes when you have to fight him-"
"I will end him." Drake said seriously. "If I don't, he'll just keep going because of how much he hates the gods. I won't allow those I care about to be hurt because of his daddy issues."
Silena nodded and leaned against him and he held her, both enjoying the moment of silence just staying like that.
Later that day.
"You have GOT to be kidding me." Drake said as he stood on the deck of the ship with Silena and Clarisse. They had reached the area where Annabeth, percy, and Tyson were and had spent ten minutes looking for them but the sound of fighting drew their attentionand they found the three..
Fighting the Hydra.
"Clarisse." Drake said, getting hers and Silena's attention as he patted the cannon next to him. "How's your aim?"
Almost instantly, Clarisse got the biggest shit eating grin ever. Drake got a cannon shell and shoved it into the cannon and nodded at Clarisse who lit up a match and lit the cannon while aiming.
The cannon soon fired and they watched as it flew, Annabeth, Percy, and Tyson dived to the ground as an earth-shattering BOOM echoed from the river. There was a flash of light, a column of smoke, and the Hydra exploded, showering Percy, Annabeth, and Tyson with nasty green slime that vaporized as soon as it hit, the way monster guts tend to do.
"Nice shot." Drake said to the daughter of War who looked proud of herself.
They stopped the ship and sent a ladder down to let Percy, Annabeth, and Grover up. Drake jumped down and simply pointed at the ship, telling them to get on and they did so upon seeing his stern look.
Drake walked over to the Hydra and saw a head left behind so he picked it up and took it back, it will probably calm Clarisse down from killing Percy, Annabeth, and Tyson.
When he got back to the ship, Percy and Clarisse looked ready to kill each other,
"I've had it with you!" Clarisse snarled at Percy. "You think because your daddy is Poseidon that you can waltz around, thinking you can do whatever the fuck you want?! Newsflash, that's not how it works!" She unsheathed her sword. "You are nothing but a glory hog who thinks he should be the focus of everyone's attention because he's Poseidon's kid or because he found the Master Bolt!"
"Clarisse, calm down." Silena tried to calm her friend down but Clarisse was beyond reasoning it seems.
"Bring it on, you stupid Ares bitch!" Percy growled, pulling out Riptide. He was not making this any easier.
Their swords clashed and they looked ready to go at it when suddenly they found themself gripped tightly by the necks before being chokeslammed onto the deck of the ship, causing them to cough at the pain before they looked to see a very much infuriated Drake standing over them with Judgement drawn.
"You're acting like a bunch of bratty CHILDREN!" He snarled at them. "We are in the middle of a quest and the last thing we need is you two wanting to kill each other. Don't both of you realize in those thick skulls of yours that you could hurt someone?"
the two demigods looked at Tyson, Annabeth, and Silena who avoided their gazes.
"get up." Drake ordered and they did so. "Clarisse, go cool off, flips tables if you must, get the anger out of your system before you hurt somebody. Do not leave until you are calm and , take this." he tossed her the Hydra head. "SOmething to put on your wall back at Camp."
Clarisse nodded before she stomped off in anger. It won't be long before the sounds of smashing and thinsg flipping could be ehard.
Percy then spoke up. "Wait, I fought it, shouldn't I-"
"Percy!" Drake cut him off with a shout and glared at his friend. "You are in no position to talk or demand stuff I am just as annoyed at you three as Clarisse is. Do you not understand the consequences of your action? What did you think would happen upon returning to camp?"
"Come on, Drake. Grover's our friend and we should be the ones to save him."
"I don't care what you think, Percy." Drake said coldly. "I am pissed off that you decided to hijack a quest, making it look like you had zero faith in me, Silena, and Clarisse in bringing the Fleece and Grover back. Silena here...she;s worked her ass off to best the damn best of ehr cabin and when she finally has the cahnce to show a daughter of Aphrodite can fight...you three say otherwise. What, you think because you find Grover and bring him back, that at the end of it all, only you three will get the attention?"
"That's not-"
Drake held a hand up to stop Percy from speaking before he sighed and rubbed his forehead. "Your punishment at Camp is to clean everything for the rest of the summer and be Mr. D's personal servants for two weeks. Be grateful I convinced him to not kick you out of camp." He pointed to the inside of the ship. "Get yourselves cleaned up and STAY out of Clarisse's way."
Percy nodded and walked away with a slump, Tyson following but Drake patted him on the back, knowing he most likely went along with everything Percy and Annabeth said and did, so he couldn't really be blamed.
Annabeth went as well, but not before she quickly hugged Drake and said she was sorry before following after the two boys.
Drake sighed and rubbed his forehead as he sheathed Judgement across his back. Now he had to deal with keeping Percy and Clarisse from killing each other. Great. Just great.
Silena walked up and leaned against him, resting her head on his shoulders. He held her hand and kissed the top of her head, holding her close, knowing she was trying to comfort him.
And that's it for this chapter. Also, I want to make it VERY clear, the pairing for the series will STAY Drake/Silena/Thalia/Zoe, and Drake will still be friends with Clarisse, I will NOT change it. So the person who keeps demanding I change it, you know who you are, I am not doing that. It is MY story, and I will decide what goes on in it.
