Hahaa... I knew you guys would jump to the conclusions. I think you guys would think I'd end the story already just like that, but I'm a writer, and I like thick plots :DDDDDDD..
Anyways, Thanks to everyone who reviewed. Can you believe that I got 1500 hits already? I think it's time for you guys to have a reward :DDDDD
Here's chapter 6 :D
I sat bolt upright as I woke up, screaming from my nightmare.
I was still on the platform, but it was already dark. Pulling off my cap, I checked my watch: 6:47. I had slept through the entire afternoon.
It was frightening. As a daughter of Athena, I was officially worried about myself. I was absolutely shivering, not from the cool summer breeze, but just from what i just saw. I snapped my cap back on as I felt tears pool at my eyelids.
My brain was telling me I was wrong. There was something wrong. I've never seen it ahead. Percy? Cheating on me? There was about 6 percent of that coming true.
I didn't know why I was screaming. I knew better than scream. I was a child of Athena for god's sake. Think first, then if you can't hink of anything, scream. That was what I always did.
I stopped the tears. I'm being ridiculous. Percy loves me. He knows it, I know it, you know it. We all know it. Just…calm down. I told myself.
but I couldn't convince myself either.
I thought of the possibilities and I came up with five that would explain what I just saw. It was either:
a.) It was a typical nightmare. (After all, your dreams reveal your deepest darkest fears.); or
b.) That it was from the past. My senses were just showing me on what had really happened.; or
c.)Percy was just asking for Rachel's help within proposing for me. (A/N Thanks for the ideas guys, but I want the plot to thicken a little bit.) ; or
d.) (I may not like it.) It was a thing from the future that may happen in a certain amount of time.; or
e.) It all happened in the present.
I pondered each and every possibility as I looked down at camp.
Campers were running around, holding either flashlights or weapons at hand, each looking for signs of attack. My guess was that they have heard my screaming, mistaking it for an attack.
Then I saw Percy dragging a scared Rachel by the wrists, out of the caves. Scratch Possibility A, B and D. They were together at the caves meaning that they have been together the whole afternoon. There was no way what I saw in my dreams were from the past nor the future.
Chiron, my cabin, Percy and the other campers were assembling in the commons area probably preparing for battle.
I looked over the camp and the beach. No signs of attack. Why assemble? Then I realized they weren't preparing for battle, they were preparing a search party. A search party for me.
I wanted to go down and tell them all that I was fine. But a part of my brain told me that it was one of the ways I can take revenge on Percy on worrying me when he disappeared almost a year ago (A/N Lost hero anybody?)
Another brilliant mind was of course in line with my thoughts.
"Taking revenge on the Sea Spawn? Probably not wise, but I like it." Athena said as she sat beside me. I bowed to my mother and then noticed that I was visible again. I touched my head and felt my Yankees Cap still on it. My Mom of course took the magic of it temporarily. "You know, I like it in here. It's peaceful, quiet and always breezy."
Then I heard Malcolm and the others approaching the tree.
"This is the fastest way that we can find her if she's still around here." Malcolm said as he and some of my siblings climbed the platform.
I tensed, but Athena kept calm. "They aren't going to see us or even hear us. Trust me."
Malcolm, Lacy, Ashley and Sienna (another half-sister of mine) stood within the platform. Each of them had binoculars at hand, searching the ocean, the woods, or the camp.
"I can't see a sign of her in camp." Lacy whimpered.
Ashley scowled. "Not one person in the fields."
"The beach all clear. No sign or body in the waters either." Sienna reported through her binoculars.
Malcolm huffed. "where could she be?" he asked. "Don't tell me that we are going to have the Amnesia switch again. We had enough drama on that." he sighed.
"Are you sure she's still here?"Sienna asked.
He nodded. "I'm sixty-five percent sure."
"Wow. Reassuring." Ashley smirked, but she continued to search with her binoculars.
Malcolm scanned the area again. "Okay, no signs, but we keep on looking. She's close. I can feel it."
You have no idea, I smirked. Athena gave a smile. We watched as Malcolm and the others go down the platform and join the others in the search.
After they were gone, I asked Athena one thing.
"Why aren't you incinerating Percy yet?" I asked as I buried my head on my knees.
Athena just smiled. "Believe me, I want to for hurting you like this." She said. "But this is one test you have to pass."
"Test?"
"Yes, Child. A test."Athena nodded" This is what you get if Aphrodite gets interested in your life. She says that you two are her favorites since Paris and Helen. Well, not counting Romeo and Juliet of course. But what do you expect from Aphrodite, She can't not make her daughter one of her favorites."
I knew that of course. Juliet was a daughter of the goddess of beauty.
Athena sighed . "Look, my daughter. Aphrodite's domain is far more complicated than it seems. And to become wiser, not only in the books, but in life you've got to give your brain a little part in the Emotion thing. "
"Hmm." I murmured then I tilted my head. "I don't get it Mother."
Athena scowled. "This is why I didn't want you to be with the sea spawn. You're acting unusual."
I smiled. "Uh, Mom- could you like get to the point?"
"All I'm saying is that, Love can make you believe on things. I can't really tell you what you want to know. I can't interfere, but I can tell you. If you don't watch yourself, Aphrodite can play games with you and what I can tell you is that you have to be able to tell differences."
"I don't understand."
Athena smiled then wrapped her arms around me. "Soon you will my child. Soon." She said then turned into breeze, leaving the scent of fresh parchment behind.
Differences. My mom said I have got to tell the differences.
I..
I..
I dont really know what that means.
I sighed then looked out on the ocean.
I've got to put a little brain in the Emotion thing.
Percy loves me. That much I know. I've got proof of it. My brain told me to be rational, and the most rational explanation was the third possibility in my list.
Percy loves me. He knows it, I know it, you know it. We all know it. I've got nothing to worry about.
An idea hit me. I might be right about the dream, but if Rachel did have a ring in her fingers, then I doubt i can keep on trying to murder her.
Plan? What plan? Oh, my I did bad did I?
Let's face it, she's rational. XD... Let's see if she can keep it up :DD
Review so I can get better than this sucky chapter. :DDDDDD
R&R :DD
