HEY THERE. IF YOU (FOR SOME WEIRD REASON) LIKE THIS CHAPTER THANK THE 2 PEOPLE WHO REVIEWED WHEN I TOOK OVER A MONTH TO UPDATE. (MISCHEVIOUS SHADOWS, LEONARD CHURCH814) Katniss's P.O.V

I cough trying to make them realize there all staring. They slowly stop and were all sitting in an awkward silence until a tall boy with blonde hair says "Hi im David you're…" he hesitates "sort of brother I guess, master Chaos kind of filled us in."

I shake my head in understanding then I meet the rest of my 'family'. There's only 3 other children of Apollo. Stacy, an 18 year old red-head with grey/blue eyes, Max a 19 year old with dirty blond hair and green eyes and David, Max's twin who's a little taller and scarier with dark brown eyes and darker blond hair then his brothers. It's different being the youngest for once, apparently there were more children of Apollo but apparently the others died in a war last year.

I don't know what I think about that. I'm not a fighter, im the mocking jay. The PICTURE of the rebellion. Im just … a logo, like a flag but with a braid I guess.

After the introductions they all go back to whatever they were doing and I go to look for Percy, my only friend here. Besides my dad I guess. That feels great to say 'my dad'. I want to get reacquainted with him. Make up for all the time we missed.

By the time I get to the Poseidon cabin I have a slight skip in my step. I knock on the door and a few seconds later Percy opens up and a dazzling smile instantly takes up his face. "Hey Katniss come in"

I walk in and see Annabeth sitting on a bunk bed. I wave and smile but she rolls her eyes. I don't think she likes me very much.

ANNABETH'S P.O.V

Uggh, look at her smiling and waving at me like she actually likes me. But it's so hard to hate her. She could pass for an Aphrodite child. Speaking of those stupid Barbie dolls I asked if they would put some spell on Percy so he wouldn't fall for Katniss but they shunned me because Aphrodite told them to. Those little mommy's girls.

Back to the point she's … effortlessly beautiful. Im not in to her or anything but like I said before it's hard to hate her… I'll just have to try harder.

PERCY'S P.O.V

This has turned out to be a great afternoon. Well minus all of that Chaos related drama. My best friend came to visit and is inviting me to go swimming. I of course said yes and we were about to leave when there's a knock on my door.

I got up and my heart nearly stopped. Standing in front of me is The Katniss Everdeen is smiling … AT ME. I smile widely at her and invite her in. She waves at Annabeth but she just rolls her eyes at her. What's her problem? I think to myself. I invite her to go swimming and her eyes light up. Since Katniss is facing me and Annabeth is to her back I can see her shaking her head and mouthing "NO" I pay her no attention and Katniss accepts and says she'll go borrow her one of her sisters' bathing suits and leaves. I smile at her and close the door.

I lean against the door and breathe a content sigh. I open my eyes not realizing I closed them and looked at Annabeth. She looked pissed and she was.

"Why did you invite her?" she moaned into a pillow. "Why don't you like her?" I challenged her. Annabeth had many mixed emotions cross her face. Then she sighed and said "'Cause you like her more than me?" she said and sighed sadly.

"Annabeth" I say understanding "you know you'll always be my best friend" she smiles at me sadly "but… I think I really like her, and I know I shouldn't because of the whole she-being-from-the-future-thing but … it's just a harmless crush" I stutter out. I don't know where all that came from but it is all true… right?

I smile thinking about her. Her hair, her smile her cute freckles on the bridge of her nose. I quickly remember Annabeth is in the room and recover "You won't tell her, right?" I ask nervously. "Of course not, seaweed brain" she says lightly. "Thanks wise girl"

She picks up her bag and goes to change in my bathroom and I sit on my bed and think of one Katniss Everdeen and slowly drift off.

KATNISS'S P.O.V

I rush back to my cabin and ask my 'sister' Stacy if I can borrow a bathing suit and she hops off of a top bunk from where she was napping and passes me a blood red two piece. I look up at her and start to hesitate. "No, no, no, no show some skin. Bet Percy will love it" she sighs in a fake lovey-dovey tone.

Im shocked. 1 she knows I went to see Percy and 2 she thinks something's going on between me and Percy. Which there isn't … I just think he's nice and funny and good looking. Uh –oh. Im broken out of my thoughts when Stacy starts laughing and I don't know why. She looks at me and states "Your blushing you do like him" im quick to respond "No, No I don't … and how'd you know I was gonna see Percy." I ask trying to steer away from that subject and because im curious. "I saw you skip over in the direction of his cabin and he's like the only cool person you know… besides me of course" she states proudly. I giggle a bit. I've grown so comfortable with Stacy even though we literally just met. Probably causes were related.

I thank her and run to the bathroom to change into the swimsuit and put on a white wrap I found on. Then I say bye and she says "That's mine. Tell Percy I said hi" I laugh and thank her again and continue to Percy's cabin. When I get there I just let myself in I hear Annabeth humming in the bathroom and Percy, sleeping on his bed.

I take this time to admire his face. He really is stunning. I decide to have some fun and go up right to his face and yell "BOOO!" he screams and falls off the bed and right next to me. I laugh so hard I think im gonna pee. Annabeth comes out hearing all the noise. I notice she's wearing lipstick now. Why wear makeup if were going swimming? I think while my laughter slows down.

I look at Percy he's trying to not laugh and give me a disapproving glare and shake of the head. That just makes me laugh harder. I notice Percy crack a smile and Annabeth roll her eyes… again.

PERCY'S P.O.V

Okay this day IS the best. I was awoken by the most beautiful face I've ever seen. And that laugh … was just musical, and it was nice to see her smiling especially when im the cause.

I give a light chuckle and hop off my bed. Katniss has stopped laughing and I get a good look at her. She's wearing a red two-piece with a see through wrap over her shoulders that go down to mid-thigh. I take a big gulp of air and quickly look at anything else that anything just happened to be Annabeth.

I gave her a quizzical look. She was wearing makeup and a green two-piece with no wrap and … high heels? Wear going swimming on a beach she's going to fall. I don't comment though knowing she'd get angry with me and just suggest we start going know.

We all walk and I keep up most of a conversation with Katniss "… so how'd you learn how to swim?" "Apoll- my dad taught me, in a lake we had right outside were we lived." "Cool" "so where'd you learn how to swim?" I smile at the thought of my answer "well being a son of Poseidon I was born to swim" she smiles "isn't someone a little full of himself? Bet I could beat you in a race?" she says tauntingly. "You want to race me … in swimming?" I say slowly to make sure she knows there's know way I'll lose.

She smiles wider and takes one big step in front of me. "No, in running." And then she speeds off. I faintly hear Annabeth laughing at my bewildered state but im to busy trying to catch up to Katniss.

ANNABETH'S P.O.V

DAMMIT' I knew I shouldn't have worn high heels. But I didn't want Katniss to be taller than me, and i feel so naked. This was the only bathing suit I have that's Percy's eye color. There's know way I could catch up to her. I mean that in more ways than one. My heart shattered when Percy confessed he liked her. Stupid seaweed brain. How could he not tell I liked him?

When I look up from my feet making sure I didn't trip my eyes almost water. Percy is catching up to Katniss and by now there on the sand and he playfully tackles her to the ground. There laughing together and rolling in the sand. They finally stop and Percy is on top of Katniss. He leans closer and im petrified im about to watch there first kiss so I do the only thing I can think of.

KATNISS'S P.O.V

This is it. Im actually going to kiss Percy. When he put his hands on my hips it felt like electricity. I lean in too and then "OWWWWW" we both snap our heads to wear Annabeth is lying on the ground holding her ankle. Percy immediately jumps up and I slowly follow.

When we reach her Percy asks Annabeth if she's okay and what happened. She says "I tripped and broke my ankle." I remembered one time when I broke my ankle while hunting Prim said it would get swollen really fast and it did in less than 5 minutes. It didn't hurt that bad but Annabeth was crying buckets on Percy's shoulder. And then it all clicks into place. She likes him. Now it makes sense and now im furious.

I decide to ruin her little show by putting on one myself. "OH Annabeth we should take you to Chiron" "oh know its fine I wouldn't want to bother him." "Oh but look at you, you look like you're in so much pain and your mascara's running" it actually was and I really wanted to laugh at her but I controlled myself. She gasped and got up really fast.

"Oh praise the gods SHE'S HEELED" I say in fake thankfulness. Annabeth looks ashamed and Percy looks confused. He looks so cute when he does that. "Oh … I guess I didn't break my ankle" Annabeth says sheepishly. "Oh are you sure?" Percy asked "I could take you back to your cabin, or we could go to the infirmary." He's so sweet. Maybe he likes her too. Suddenly I feel really awkward and I want to be anywhere else but here. "Know I think I was just in shock, let's keep going."

I turn and roll my eyes and keep walking, slightly ahead of Percy and Annabeth. When im in running distance from the water I take off my wrap ran to the water. When I got deep enough I dove under and what I saw made me scream underwater. A horse… with a tail was right in front of me.

I came up and screamed. Percy and Annabeth who were walking slower ran the rest of the way. I swam out and looked in the water. "OH MY GOD!" thunder "SORRY" I yell to the gods again "but did anyone else see that horse" Annabeth looks confused and then lets out a chuckle and so does Percy. "What, what is so funny there was an underwater horse." I screamed exasperated.

Percy looked at me and smiled. He then looked intensely at the water and then I could see very fast movement in the water going farther and farther away. He looked at me again and said "there gone now, they wouldn't have hurt you anyway" he then took my hand which really peeved off Annabeth and lead me to the water.

He held me in the water and said "see… its fine" I blushed in spite of myself and swam backwards Percy looked confused and then I said "race you" I grinned devilishly and swam off. I kept swimming and then my foot got trapped in … seaweed? I didn't think it was a big deal so I just tried to wriggle out of it. It held on to me tighter. What is this? I started to struggle and Percy noticed he was about 4 meters behind me when the seaweed started to pull me under. "PERCY!" and then I went under.

I opened my eyes and saw exactly what I thought was attacking me, sea weed but this sea weed is … alive and not like how a plant is 'alive' but this one is actually pulling on me. I don't know how im even able to process what's going on because now it looks like im 20 feet under and I don't see Percy, that's when I realize, I … can breath.

Im breathing water, this is amazing. I guess I am as strong as everyone says I am. I wonder if I have any other powers. I focus on that piece of seaweed around my ankles and wishing with all my might that it would turn to dust. I feel a form of tug in my stomach; it's so small that if I wasn't paying a lot of attention I would have missed it.

When I open my eyes not remembering when I closed them I see that the seaweed has turned to dust. I smile im so … ecstatic I don't know what to do. PERCY! I look up and see him swimming towards me fast thinking im still sinking. I want more than anything right now to tell him THAT IM FINE I CAN BREATH! Percy's eyes widen and he 'says' I …CAN HEAR YOU! I smile THIS IS SOOOO AWESOME! Percy swims faster and grabs my hand. We swim to the top and swim to the shore wear Annabeth is waiting looking really worried.

When she spots us she breathes out a sigh of relief and when we reach her me and Percy start talking really fast about what just happened and Annabeth just looks confused. I let out a sigh and talk slower "okay so some weird sea weed … monster grabbed me, and we still don't know what that was but anyway I can breathe underwater and communicate with Percy" I look at Percy and he looks like he's thinking that must be a first I joke to myself "HEY!" Percy yells in mock hurt. "You heard that?" Percy looks at me weirdly, then laughs "you need to control your thoughts better" I blush Scarlett and Percy laughs harder.

We decide to go back because of … well, what just happened and when we get back Chiron is waiting for us … apparently. He sees me and sighs when we meet him he holds out a bag and I take it questioningly. "I was told not to tell you earlier, gods orders but ... it seems that you are an, early bloomer" I look at Chiron even more confused, Percy and Annabeth look confused also and Chiron elaborates. "Since you have powers from all 12 Olympians you … well have powers now my dear, what you just experienced at the beach was one of your powers activating." I gape at how he knows what happened I hear Percy chuckle and I look over to him and see that he's not even smiling Chiron knows everything. "This is a gift … from your father" he moves his head towards the bag and I open it at find a big, chunky necklace. It has 12 different colored sections ans the aquamarine color is lighted up as if it was battery powered. Chiron explains that when all 12 sections are lit up then I'll be at my strongest. Im vaguely listening though because im too busy hearing the waves so loudly it's like im still at the beach. Then I remove my thumb that has somehow made its way to gliding above the ocean colored section with posiedons name written in … Greek? "I can read Greek?" I say more like a question "ahh yes all demi-gods can." Chiron answers and I yawn. "I would assume you must be tired you just had 16 years worth of unused ocean related magic activated, you should get some rest" even though I barely understand what he just said I do as told and Percy and Annabeth walks me back to my cabin. I tiredly hug Annabeth and Percy and collapse on my bed with dreams of…
