A/N Heyyy. How are ya, Hallow he- HEY do not throw tomatoes after me. I have time to write, but I'm just too lazy. I'm sorry it has been awhile, but you should know that these chapters aren't going to come flowing. It's a long process (for me)
Yes I'm fine. I had a fantastic start of school term (yeah as if); I have learned more German, math etc. We have these new reforms that make our days longer, have something called Supporting Teaching (we are meant to do something active, but we only do very little. It's the meaning we have to be more active, of course we have one and a half hours of P.E. but that is apparently not enough) I'm in this project called the Comenius project/program or something (optional subject) and today (19th September) I have been out and sailed sea kayak to know how to do that, because the ones going to Palermo (Italia) is going to do that in a month or so in Palermo. Sorry about the rambling. Now on with the story. I think I will make it a thing to tell you guys and girls about my life. This isn't my best chapter so just go with it and it is just a filler chapter.
Chapter four
(Percy's POV)
You take your sister down to see the life underwater and a second later you are on your way to Atlantis. Of course was I glad that my father wanted to see me. Why didn't I think that Amphitrite wanted to see Kori too?
I was excited to see Kori's reaction to her mother, but I didn't think of Amphitrite's reaction to see Kori. She literally ran to her and nearly hugged the life out of Kori. Dad tried to look less awkward, but it didn't go well, so he thought that it was a good idea to break the mother daughter moment with a cough.
After a question and an answer, Amphitrite gave Dad and me a pointed look and we left the throne room.
IMetHomelessManNamedRich(HeWasn't)Isn'tThatTerrible
Dad and I walked around the palace and talked about things I can't remember because I looked at the palace's architecture. When you have a girlfriend who is really into architecture, you start to like it to. The time flew by and soon I was analyzing an arena without knowing it. It was well built and- oh shit I'm turning into Annabeth. I looked at dad and he had this childish glint in his eyes.
"Want to take a round?" dad asked," I know you lost the Achilles curse, but you're still the best swordsman in 300 years."
I was surprised at first, but hey, when do you ever get to fight against a god who hasn't set you on said god's hate-list? So of course I answered in the most flamboyant way I could," Sure."
We walked to the middle of the arena and I took out riptide and dad took out a sword. I took a fighting stand and I waited for him to take the first move. He swung to my left and I dodged and hit him in the gut. He fell to the ground and blocked my next blow. We went on like this in a long time. Kick, dodge, dodge, jump backwards, swing towards head, get blocked, block, hit etc.
In the end we stood both panting and a sword to our necks. It was a draw; we took our swords away from each other's necks and I looked at my dad and he looked at me and we burst out laughing. I hadn't laughed so much since Ta-ta-tar… nope not thinking about that place.
When we sobered up, we sat and talked about the seas and what people where doing to the water and what we have been doing. Soon I looked down at my watch. Then I remembered that it was a shield and didn't show the time.
"Dad, what time is it?" I asked.
"A quarter over five I think," that fight was longer than I thought," You should probably soon swim back."
With a quick 'see ya' I took out and searched for Kori. When I came to a little garden, I saw Amphitrite and Kori talk together, then Kori swam with all her might to get up to the surface and got help from that Hippocampus she rode earlier. I looked at my stepmother and saw she had a weird knowing smirk on and a glint in her eyes. This can't be good. I've seen that look before. It was on my mother whenever I talked about Annabeth before the war. The titan war that is.
I swam as fast as I could and I was soon walking up on the shore of the beach.
(Kori's POV)
Oh shit, oh shit, oh shit. I'm late, I'm very late. I ran all the way to the forges from the beach. When I stopped in front of the forges I was panting like I had run a marathon in stilettos.
I could hear Leo mumbling about me being late. Then I heard something being knocked over and several cuss words.
I walked in and saw Leo jumping around on one leg with his foot in his hands. I laughed like a maniac inside of my head. He hadn't seen me yet so I called out his name. The result? A startled Leo who fell over his feet when turning around.
This time I laughed out loud, but it wasn't a long laugh 'cause I'm still uncomfortable around people. I'm just less uncomfortable around Leo.
"Sorry I'm late, I didn't think of the time where I was," I said quietly, not a whisper, but not loud. I wasn't about to tell him I was under the sea.
When I didn't get a response I looked up from my hands. Leo was staring at me and his eyes looked as if they were about to pop out of his head. His eyes also showed concern. Why was he staring at m-? Oh. I hadn't changed from the dress to camp clothes. And I probably still had the crown/diadem on. Maybe it was time to test that invisibility thing it could. The weight on my head disappeared and I knew it was gone. Leo still staring so I snapped my fingers and that made him looking around in alarm. He stood with a fighting–stance, ready to defend. Then he realized it was me who made the sound and flushed. Cheeks red as a bell pepper he rubbed the back of his neck - I could eat some peppers now. I wonder what's for dinner, something with peppers I hope. What was that rumbling sound in the distance?
Sometimes I hate ADHD.
"Soo. Should we get going?" I ask after a very awkward minute.
(Leo's POV)
She was late.
I had hoped for a little more from her. She was ten minutes late now. Even I am not that late when it's me someone is waiting for. I had waited outside the forges for five minutes, then went inside and grumbled. Mostly about her, her lateness, her laziness, her long silky black almost purple-blue-ish hair… Holy Hephaestus, I'm longer out than I thought. I thought it just was like with Thalia and Khione. Apparently not.
I went back to muttering.
ISawAFlyerForALostDogAndTheDogDidn'tHaveAnyLegs
Fifteen minutes later (don't ask how I keep track of the time, it's a long story involving a watch and an angry hunter) I heard my name being called from behind. I whirled around and tripped over my own feet. So embarrassing! But what I saw when I rose to my feet made me forget that, and nearly fell again.
There she was, laughing. Her eyes lit up with this beautiful light, as if she never had been let down and hurt. Her beautiful hair was in a braid with silver threads and had a crown-ish thing on her head. It was silver with slightly purple undertones and had seashells and pearls on it. The pearls were on the bottom of the crown and the shells on the top. It looked beautiful. What next caught my eyes was her dress. It was green, a light sea green, and it had a blue belt. It sat perfectly on her.
Her dress showed her curves, but also her waist and it was so thin! Her arms too. She was too thin for her height.
I heard snapping. Like bones being snapped on something's careless way over to an altar with two persons on. Like Gaea making her way over to Percy and Annabeth. I took a battle-stance, waiting for Gaea to appear. Then I saw Kori, it was her who was snapping her fingers. Embarrassed rubbed I my neck.
We stood like that for about a minute. A very awkward minute… Curse you Aphrodite. There was a rumbling in the distance. I DIDN'T MEAN IT STEP-MOTHER DEAR!
Finally Kori broke the silence," Soo. Should we get going?"
IcarusIsFlyingToCloseToTheSun
When the dinner-horn was heard Kori almost flew out of the forge. I don't blame her; I could hear her stomach rumbling all the time.
Kori was a fast learner; she had made a…thing on newbie record-time. Her dress had been torn in the bottom, but she hadn't whined like I sort of had thought she would, but sort of didn't think. She looked at it, shrugged and worked on with her thing. I don't know what the thing was, but she made it and it worked. It made this clicking sound and could go slow and fast (A/N for you who can't guess it, it is an metronome, something musicians use to get tones right on spot in the music they're playing)
When I arrived at dinner Kori was already eating and talking with Perce. I sat down at cabin 9's table and started eating the taco's and drinking my water. Even now, shoveling food in unlike any other girl, she was pretty (insert a very sappy sigh here)
