Hey so this is the second chapter. i have a lot more written in my chemistry notebook that i do here. also I'm so glad somebody actually enjoys my work!
Enjoy!
Also, if you haven't noticed yet, the only characters I own are Melody and Tempo. Rhiannon Larson is my best friends Oc. Shout out to them for letting me use Rhi and also for being my official Editor.
Melody:
"Your blood is the key melody!" Luke had said. I shivered. I got dressed and went outside. I squinted as the sun blinded me.
"Mel, Chiron wants you in the big house. Annabeth and a new camper are there." Nico told me.
"Alright. I got to have breakfast first though." He led me to the pavilion.
"You can have whatever you want and sit wherever" he left me and sat next to will, who was bandaging a small girls knee. I spotted Leo and took my blueberry pancakes to him.
"Hey." I stood over his table. He looked up and I saw the circles under his eyes. "Oh sorry. I'll leave you alone."
"No, it's ok. Sit." he said, yawning.
"Did you sleep last night?" I asked him. He nodded.
"For about 3 hours. Then I had a nightmare and worked on something in the forges."
"You had a nightmare? What about?" I dug into my pancakes.
"I don't know. You were in it. You were wearing a pretty dress and singing and then suddenly a bunch of zombies and ghosts began to circle you and I woke up." Leo picked at his scrambled eggs.
"What was I singing?" I asked.
"I don't know. It sounded like... never mind." I watched as his eyes drifted toward Calypso, who was cuddled up to butch.
"I'm sorry." I blurted. He looked at me.
"Why? For what?"
"If I had just minded my own business, you two would still be together."
I blushed as he put his hand over mine, "If you had minded your own business, I would still be stuck with her. You did me a favor." I looked into his chocolate eyes and smiled.
"Melody, Chiron needs to talk to you." Nico reminded me.
"I'll go with you" Leo got up.
"You sure? Maybe you should go back to your cabin and rest." I stood up and put my plate on a cart.
"Don't worry about me, Chica Muerte." Leo followed me out of the pavilion, "I'm going to stay with you while calypso is at camp. She's out for blood."
I gave him a smile, "Thanks, Johnny Storm." Leo laughed at the marvel reference. We silently walked down the path to the big house. Before my nerve could escape, I let my hand slip into his. I felt him relax and squeezed it.
We got to the big house, and Annabeth Chase was waiting for us. She led us into the living room where Percy and Ella the Harpy sat on the couch, throwing Cheetos at Seymore the leopard head. In the corner, Chiron and a pudgy man were playing a game of cards. A girl about 15, sat motionless next to Chiron. She saw us and he eyes became as big as saucers.
"I know you..." She got up and looked me up and down, "you were in my dream last night. So was Annabeth."
"I was. Airianna right?" she scowled at me.
"you're a Hades kid, right? So, tell me, is my brother alive or not?!"
"I... uh..." I stepped back.
"Ms. Cooper, Airianna told us about the dream. This man that stood next to you... is this him?" Chiron held up a framed photograph. The kid on it was 8 or 9 years old, but there was no mistaking, he was the man in my dream.
"Yes, that's him." I looked at Leo, who was confused. "Leo had a dream too." they all looked at him.
"Uh... melody was wearing a dress and singing. Let me guess you had the same dream." I nodded at him.
"The song... what was it?" Chiron asked warily.
"Well..." I eyed a grape vine in the corner, "may I sing it?" Chiron nodded. I closed my eyes.
"Wither and decay
End this destiny
Break these earthly chains
And set the spirits free..."
I opened my eyes. Everyone was looking at the grape vine. The grapes had shriveled up and the vine turned a nasty grey color. Chiron looked at the pudgy man.
"You killed my grape vine." he said looking up from his cords.
"Um, I'm sorry. Who are you?" I asked.
"Melody, this is Mr. D. Dionysus, the God of wine."
Leo:
Chiron sent Melody and Airianna to see the Oracle of Delphi, Rachel Dare. I waited outside with Percy.
"So, calypso cheated?" he asked me.
I scoffed, "Who told you?" he shrugged.
"She did. She said you broke her heart because there was a rumor." Leo rolled his eyes.
"I should've noticed sooner. Thank the Gods melody showed up."
"You like her?" Percy wiggled his eyebrows.
"Dude, I like spicy food." I blushed. Percy's face turned from smug to shocked.
"Holy crap, man. You love her?" I smiled.
"Maybe I do. Remember, I thought I loved calypso too." My smile faded, as Melody came out. "Melody are you ok?" She was pale as a ghost. She walked past me.
"Rachel does that to people. Trust me, the old oracle was worse." Percy followed us back to hades cabin.
"I'm...going to lay down..." Melody slammed the door behind her. I looked at Percy.
"She'll be fine in a few ours." He shrugged, "I'll see you at dinner, man."
At dinner, Chiron introduced melody and tempo to Artimis, goddess of the hunt, who was staying at camp with her hunters. Tempo started drooling for her. Melody and Annabeth smacked him. Afterwards, Chiron announced that capture the flag would be after dinner, and that we would have two guests at the council meeting.
After dinner we all got ready for capture the flag. The minor gods, Hecate, Iris, Hypnos, etc. all grouped up with Hephaestus, Demeter, Hermes and Ares.
Travis Stoll stood on a tree trunk in front of us all. "Alright, Leo, you take Billie Ng from Demeter, Butch from Iris, Connor, and Calypso and run foot brigade! everyone else is either here or across the woods with the other flag in their hands, got it?"
"GOT IT!" We all yelled.
"You guys ready?" i asked my team. Calypso and Butch were making out, Billie Ng was busy talking to a tree nymph. the only ones who seemed interested in getting the flag were me and Connor Stoll. i sighed, "if you guys don't move I'll send Calypso back to Ogygia"
"YES SIR!" The couple broke and began to run behind me. about a half mile later, we heard crying. I put my hand up to halt and peered around a tree.
"Holy Hephaestus..." I gasped as i saw Melody tied to a tree.
"We should check her. she might be armed." Connor kneeled next to her. I blushed and i patted Mel's pockets for weapons'.
"she's good." i untied her, "who did this?"
Tears ran down her face, "i don't know! i was on my way to the creek and someone grabbed me from behind!"
Calypso scoffed, "its probably a trap."
in the distance i heard a horn blow, not the finishing horn (A/N: I don't remember what those horns are called.) but a strange noise that sounded like a dying goose.
"what makes you say that?" I asked my Ex.
"that horn." she said. Melody giggled.
"I cant tell if your jealous or if your actually smart enough to know what I'm doing"
"Huh?" I yelled as melody threw me into a tree. My vision blurred but I saw Calypso try to punch her, but melody grabbed her wrist and pushed her face into the dirt. Butch and Connor charged her, but melody round-house kicked them in their faces.
"Well played..." I leaned against the tree. she smiled sweetly at me, took the rope that bounded her earlier, and tied my hands. I jumped as another girl came out of a bush.
"Good job." Rhiannon Larson said. Some other people came up to us.
"You guys were great! we won!" Annabeth cheered.
"And melody got a slave. you gotta obey her now, Leo." Percy high-fived Melody and Rhi.
Tempo smirked, "Kinky." Melody blushed and slapped him.
"well, lets all go back to the cabins. we kinda have a long day tomorrow." i smiled as melody untied my hands. her hair covered half of her face. her uncovered eye sparkled Amethyst. her lips were delicately layered with purple lipstick.
"well, goodnight leo." she began to walk away.
"W-wait!" i grabbed her hand and pulled her close to me. her cheeks became rosy.
"w-what is it?"(A/N B-baka UwU)
"Uh... Sweet dreams?" I lost my courage and let her go. She smiled.
"you too, Leo! Good night." She walked towards hades cabin.
"Good night, Melody."
Hope you liked that. i hate calypso with a burning passion, idk why, i just do. also that cool thing that melody did to Calypso, where she pushed her into the dirt? that came from My hero academia when Uraraka fights Toga. i just watched that part and i loved it, so i put it in.
じゃねあ (See ya)
