Hi! I was so bored that I started writing this the night after I posted the last chappie! I just was so happy how the last one ended! Aren't you? Trying to write 500 words each day, 4 pages.
Steph's Pov:
"Stephanie?" he asked.
"No shit!" I said. I scowled at him. His eyes showed a little bit of sadness, most of it was confusion. Then, it was all anger.
"What the hell are you doing here!" he yelled. He also was out of his chair. We were face to face.
"It's all your fault! If you didn't leave I wouldn't be here!" I screamed.
"How the fucks it my fault!" he screamed back. Everyone was looking at me and Nico. Percy came up to us. "Wait a second. What are you talking about? If your Stephanie, then aren't you guys dating?" he asked.
I turned and scowled at Percy. "Why don't you ask him." I pointed to Nico and ran out of the pavilion.
Why was he mad at me?
Grover's Pov:
"Why don't you ask him." She said. Stephanie ran out of the pavilion. I would follow her in a minute. Right now I was walking up to Nico and Percy.
"Didja have to yell at her like that?" I asked Nico.
"Has she been the one giving me those horrible nightmares?" he asked. I nodded my head.
"Because you left her, your aura wasn't protecting her anymore. As soon as you were gone, I had to go get her. When I got to Estonia, the place reeked of monsters. It is a little bit of your fault." I said. Nico looked down.
I continued, "But it isn't going to be your fault if she dies. So come on." I left the pavilion. I swear, even Chiron was looking at us in surprise. I heard Nico's footsteps behind me.
We looked everywhere, the lake, the woods, her cabin. When we got to her cabin, it was completely empty. "You don't think she would leave camp, do you?" Nico asked. You could hear he was getting a little scared now.
"Shit!" I yelled. We ran to the big house and found Chiron. He was playing cards with Mr. D.
"Chiron! Stephanie ran away from camp! We need to go find her!" I said.
"What? Oh this isn't good. I thought this would happen. Nico, go up into the attic and talk to the Oracle." Nico nodded and stepped up into the attic.
"Why does he need to talk to the Oracle?" I asked him.
"Oh, no reason." he said anxiously. "Just seeing what we're dealing with." I nodded even though I don't think he's telling me everything. I left the big house and sat on the porch. I was waiting patiently for Nico. For about 2 minutes. Then I started freaking out. Going over all the horrible things that could happen to Stephanie. Was this what it was like for Nico?
After about 5 more horrible minutes, Nico came outside. He sat down next to me and said, "I'm taking you and Percy. We leave as soon as I go get him."
"Aren't you going to tell me what the prophecy is?" I asked. He stood up and started to walk away.
"Nope." Well then.
I started packing. You know, reed pipes, tin cans, apples, all that jazz. In 15 minutes the 3 of us were all standing on top of Half-Blood Hill.
"I still don't get what's happening." Percy said as we were getting into the spare van. Apparently, Stephanie took the other one. Can she even drive yet? "Dude. Keep up." I said.
Nico ignored us and got into the drivers seat. "Uh, Nico? Can you even drive?" Percy asked.
"Nope." he said. Nico hadn't really said anything since he got his prophecy.
You know, after about 30 minutes, I have to say Nico was a pretty good driver.
"Oh Gods. Where do you think she went?" I asked as we entered the city. The place reeked of monsters.
"Home. Underworld. Her dad. There's a world of possibility's." Nico said.
"The underworld? Why would she go there" Percy asked. Then, it hit me.
"Oh my Gods guys! She's gonna give herself up to your dad!" I yelled. Nico's eyes got wide, then he quickly turned and pulled over. He ran and we followed, all the way to a park I recognized. It was where I fell asleep once for a couple of months. All because of Morpheus. There was an entrance to the underworld here.
Nico opened the entrance, we didn't need music with him here. Then we walked on into the darkness.
It took forever. It felt like almost 2 miles of walking in silence. I didn't even know if Percy and Nico were still with me until I heard there shoes hit dirt or if they coughed from the dust. Finally Nico spoke up. "We're here." he said as we came to an opening in the tunnel. "Now we just have to find Ste-"
Percy cut him off. "Found her!" we all looked to where he was pointing.
You couldn't really tell it was her, but she was the only one alive so it had to be. She was walking up to 'Gulp' Tartarus. She wouldn't really do that, would she? Nico ran to her and yelled,
"Stephanie! Stop don't jump! Wait!" Stephanie turned and got wide eyed at him. Then a figure appeared behind her. Morpheus.
Stephanie's Pov:
I turned and saw Nico yelling at me. Was he really here? "Hello Stephanie." I heard a voice from behind. Morpheus was standing right behind me. "Dad?" I said.
He pulled me into a hug and said, "It's been too long, my daughter." I felt myself stiffen. He had never treated me like this before. I pushed him off after a second.
"Wait a second. You ignored me my entire life until last year when you kidnapped me, then all of a sudden your a perfect father figure?" I said.
"It's not like I could visit you often. I wish I could. And the only reason I took you was to keep you safe. From something like this from happening." he gestured to Nico, who was standing a couple yards away frozen in shock. I sighed, "I guess you were right after all."
"I don't want you to get killed over this boy. You can come with me. Be a princess, control the ice realm! I've been dying to teach you some powers you haven't figured out yet." Dad said.
"Um, what do you mean? Be a princess?" I asked.
"The minor gods are coming out from hiding. We want a proper throne. You can join us, be apart of something. Stay with me."
"Wait, you want to overthrow Zeus?" I asked in surprise.
"Not really take his power, he'll still be a god. The human world with not suffer from anything. Please Stephanie, I've been waiting for you before we start. What do you say?"
He smiled and held out his hand. Why not?
I shook his hand, and we left the underworld together.
That was chapter 4! I know it's not that long but I made it end here for a reason! And it's cliffy! Hiccup.
