Chap 4

Ares, er...my Dad, somehow managed to get all my charges dropped. Now that might seem like a small thing, but let me clarify. I have a lot of charges on me and sweeping my record clean, couldn't have been easy. But hey, it's not my fault if he wants to try to help a screw up like me.

Anyways I had just got back from my first quest a today. That means that we had to drag ourselves to the throne room and present the spoils of our labor.

The presenters of those spoils were a skinny blond daughter of Athena and Me. Yeah, great pair Chiron.

That stupid Daughter of Athena Samantha was currently bowing to the gods and I just smirked. She elbowed my leg and kicked her leg lightly, making her lose her balance and fall down.

"So who has it?"My Dad asked, probably not one for formalities.

Samantha straightened and took off her backpack.

She shuffled through it for a few minutes, before her face paled. She gave me a worried look and I rolled my eyes. I grabbed her back pack and turned it upside down.

All of her bags contents fell out and spread out on the floor. I cracked a small smile as she scrambled to clean the mess up, apologizing .I spotted my Dad's cell-phone and picked it up.

"Is this it?"I asked.

"Yeah."He said, reaching out to take it. I took a step back. I tapped the phone on my palm.

"Let's see how strong it is."My Dad opened his mouth to respond, but my hand was already in motion.

I threw his phone into the hearth in the center of the room. The fire shot up, getting hotter and brighter. Samantha stumbled back.

"Really?"Samantha said, standing up."It took us a week to get that and your just threw it into a fire!"

"Did you miss the last 30seconds..."I started.

Samantha held up her palms. "No! Stop right there your about to make a really mean comment."

"It's not the comment that is mean it's the insult that usually follows."I pointed out.

"For example I could start with, your outfits really cute."I paused to watch the shocked look hit her face."And finish with, but your hair looks like something a camel would up chuck after eating 5gallons of rotten yogurt and a pack of skittles."

I dodged the fist that she threw at me."You jerk!"She screamed.

I smirked."Why so offend?"I asked a safe distance away.

She blushed."Ugh, you suck Cedric Evgrat!"

"Aw, you know my name."I said, snatching her backpack of the ground.

"Hey, that's mine!"She said, following me out the door.

We were halfway to the elevator when I remembered something."Hey, I'll be right back."I said, taking off. I still had her backpack so knew she wouldn't leave.

I pushed the door to the throne room open. Everyone's attention was on me in a flash."Hey, pop's!"I called.

My Dad looked up."What?"He sounded irritated which only made what I did next, very rewarding.

I grinned."Fuck you."I said, flipping him off.
