Chapter Six
I walked over to the Artemis cabin. "Nico!" I shouted as I spotted him coming from the other direction. "Brea?" He asked running over. We stood there for a minute in embarrassing silence. "Well we should get going." I said taking a step forwards. "Brea." He said grabbing my arm.
"Yeah?" I asked turning around. We were under a shady tree. I accidentally looked into his eyes. "I'm sorry I got us into this." He said. "It's not your fault. It's mine." I said. We leaned in and kissed. At least this one wasn't leading into what it did last time.
I felt something wrap around me and pull me into the tree. "Ow!" I said. Looking down I was wrapped to the tree in grape vines. Nico looked shocked. "Mr. D!" We said. He took out his sword, every time he cut a vine more grew. "It's suffocating me!" "Mr. D's coming!" He shouted still cutting away vines that grew back.
"Well, well." Mr. D said appearing at our side. Nico jumped and dropped his sword. "Mr. D! Hi." He said in a jumpy voice. "Now… Too bad you were the closest to the tree. Ah well go, now you can go clean the dinning hall's floors cant you?" He asked with a raised eyebrow. "Fine." We mumbled.
The vines released me and we walked over to the dinning hall. I grabbed a bucket, cringed. Then I took out a mop and water with soap and began mopping. "Explain to me why I get the sponge?" Nico said on his hands and knee's using the sponge. I laughed. "Because, it suits you."
We cleaned until the floor was clean. He wiped the sweat off his brow whistling. "Good thing were done." He said smiling at me.
