I didn't know what to say, I just stared ahead. I mean it would explain why there was a reincarnation of me, but then how am I here?
"H-h?" Was all I was able to get out.
"How?" Apollo asked.
I nodded my head.
"Someone brought you back."
"Who?"
"Who do you think?" He asked.
I didn't have to think, I knew who. "Tartarus," I growled.
"I didn't know who at first either but when you came up to Olympus and told us he wanted you to kill us, it became blatantly obvious."
The car started to slow even more, we had arrived. Hazel and Damian were waiting for us by Thalia's tree.
We came to a complete stop about twenty feet from them. "Hey," Apollo said as I was about to get out, "I just want to say, it's bold of you. You know what Damian's going to do yet you still stick with him, I don't understand how you even do that."
"Obvious," I said as I stepped out and shut the door, "I love him."
I walked up to the two of them with Apollo closely behind. I went over to Damian and quickly shoved my hand in his. It was warm.
As we walked down towards the big house to greet Mr. D and Chiron who sat on the porch, I leaned up and whispered in Damian's ear. "We need to talk later," I said.
He just nodded and squeezed my hand tighter.
As we were walking, I heard giggling. I could tell they were trying to be quiet but those two are never quiet. I looked around for Connor and Travis. At first I saw no one, but then I spotted two heads of brown curls peeking out from behind a conveniently placed bush. A bush, I know, one of the most stereotypical hiding spots.
"Seriously guys," I said as I laughed.
They popped out from behind the bush and ran to give me a hug. "Hey," I said as they both picked me up.
"We missed you," they both said.
"I missed you too," I laughed. "Now can you put me down?"
They set me down but made sure to place themselves between me and Damian. I rolled my eyes, simply picked Damian up and placed him on the other side of me.
The Stoll's didn't like this so they put me in between them. Damian was now laughing so I went over to him, and jumped on his back for a piggy back ride. He was shocked at first but recovered quickly into a laughing fit which caused him to stumble a bit but I lifted him before we were able to fall. I looked over at my brothers and stuck my tongue out.
They crossed their arms and decided to give it a rest but still walked along both sides of us. Chiron was staring at us weirdly by the time we arrived on the porch.
"Hey Chiron," I smiled as I got off Damian's back.
"So your back already? Where's Leo and Calypso?" He asked
"Oh no," Hazel said, "we were just in the area and stopped to see everyone. Speaking of which, where's Nico?"
"He's in the infirmary with Will," Chiron responded. So Hazel left for the infirmary. "So why were you out this way?" He asked.
"I had to go to Olympus, don't worry, no one got hurt and no one got yelled at," I explained.
"Good," Chiron sighed. He then turned to Apollo. "What brings you here lord Apollo?"
"Just visiting, it's been awhile. Kinda missed the place."
Chiron just nodded.
I decided I couldn't wait anymore. As Apollo and Chiron we're talking I grabbed Damian's hand and pulled him along all the way to the Hera cabin. I pulled him inside and started pacing nervously.
"Trish what is it?" Damian asked, equally as nervous.
I just ignored him and kept pacing. I suddenly stopped and turned to him. "Damian I died." I then proceeded to stare at my hands as if they were going to disappear. "I died," I said once more but in a hushed tone.
"Who told you this?" Damian asked.
"Apollo did."
"Because you were very much alive when I got you out of there."
"He said that someone brought me back."
"Tartarus."
"Yes, that's what we figured too."
"Well that explains why there's two of you."
"Mhm."
"So you're technically a ghost?"
"Really? I think you would have figured out if I was a ghost by now."
"You died!" Two brothers exclaimed as they peeked through the doorway.
"I seriously need a door," I said as I pinched the brim of my nose.
Thanks for reading! As said, this is the second chapter we did today, hope you enjoyed. Stay safe and dry!
