The Missing Flower Of Flames.

Chapter 3
Tate P.O.V.
What scary me as a little kid still freaked me out ,a little, now. The dark it made me feel like I could not breathe. I close my eyes and took a deep breath, it was not normal for me to freak at the lack of light. I open my eyes and light flooded my eyes. My mother had once light the path for Demeter in her look for her daughter Persephone, so why could I not light the darkness around me. Let me tell you why because I work only with fire, but at lease it was light. My fire could burn if I had the energy. But my flame was small and very weak.
"How are you doing that?" a boy asked , he was a thin kid and had blonde hair. He looked like Sparky, every thing was the same between the two of them but for the hair, blonde not black. My flames flicker, for I did not have much more power to burn, let alone the ropes that bound my hands. I looked at him and saw the worried look that always was cast on his face.
"Sparky if I get my hands on you, you're a goner." I said before, passing out.
- time breaker-
I woke to find that the ropes were gone but, the burns stayed. I singed but, still sat up, my right arm was wrapped in semi thick bandages; I should be used to this but, no matter how many times it's happen I'll never be used to it.
I looked around and find that I was in a pretty room with green walls, and a lot of people. I was on a coach, I screamed and hell did a lot of people put their hands to their ears. Someone put their hand over my mouth and that lead to me biting said person. After being bite the person pulled on my pony tail, and I sent my elbow back and hit the person in the gut. I turned and was about to tear my brother up when I say it was Sparky. I was mad now, fire is my specialty but when I'm mad I fight and pull, I'll bite but as soon as I moved my right leg pain was all I felt. This was normal, when I was in one posting for a long time my hip would hurt. It had not happen in some time but then again all summer I have moved around and was working, so there was no reason for my hip to hurt me.
"Tater if it's the hip move around but don't kill Sparky for then The king of the gods will shot you down with lighting." Josh said, handing me a small bottle, pain killers, thank you dear lord. I got up and walk-limp- away from Sparky and towards the windows, I could see the sun it was not command for most of the kids in my home to see anything, let alone the sun. I was shocked, mostly because we were locked up in small rooms two-sometimes three - to a room. It remind me of the tenement that immigrants had to live in. Sometimes 15 to 16 people per room, that the sun could look so beautiful. Josh came up behind me and whisper something in my ear.
"you'll have to tell every one who you really are." he said. I nodded my head, before turning around and bowing to the people before me.
"I am Tately De Laure, duchess of York England. I am third in line for the English throne. I am family and a friend, that will fight beside you, when needed. I stand before you and ask for you help in the retrieval of the person who mean more to me then my life. He is hurting because of me and it is my job to care and protect him. I can get you in to the place but I can not get him out alone. For the person that say he cares for the children in the place were I have grown up, have hurts us and defile the one that are different. I have done all I can to protect him, he is more important than the throne I may gain in the death of my family. Matt is all a girl my age had left and with her dying breath she asked me to protect him. " I said. I stood as stiff as a chair, for not only did I not know these people, I did not knew how to act in front of them so I went with how I would act in front of a court, that was the wrong chose. For a girl with a red bandanna, laugh at me.
"forgive me for the formally but I am not used to talking to normal teenagers. "I said ranking my hand through my ponytail. For once I let me self relax. My hand moves down to the spot where my charm bracelet have always been, but I did not feel the thick metal chain. I turn to Josh but he was to busy talking to the girl in the red bandanna, I'm close to the door so I run before anyone can stop me.
"That god for sake bloody traitor, one moment he's acting like my older brother and the next he's acting like I'm nothing." I said to my self out loud every one was indoors, because it was raining, so no one heard me. I was heading for what looked like an old fashion forge, and it had smoke coming out the steam pipes; that meant that there was a fire going inside. I walk up to the door and look in side. Floating above the tables was my charm bracelet, the chain looked to be on fire again. Every one is under tables beside a boy with curly hair and for some reason he looked like one of saint nick elf, covered in grease. He was reaching for my charm bracelet. I got up on the table and like I was at the rink again, spin and jump, and grab the bracelet.
"How in Hades did you do that?" the elf boy asked.
" I skated when I was younger at the local ice rink. Now how did you get my bracelet." I said tuning on the elf boy. That when a flash of light caught me off guard. I was blinking my eyes clear and wishing I had my sunglasses, but they were broken at home, I look around the room and every one was staring at me. They all drop to the knees, I throw my head back and looked up; not only did I see my family's crest but also my mother's symbol. They slowly faded away. I turn and was about to walk away from these liver loving lot of people, when the elf boy grabbed hold of my arm.
"My name, is Leo. And welcome to camp half blood. What is your name." he said.
"Tately Elizabeth DeLaure daughter of Hecate, duchtess of England." I said doing a cutesy. Not so pretty if I'm in ripped jeans and a top, but it showed that I was formal.
