A/N I wrote this like a letter, because it seemed a little more comical. And, just so you know, I'm not here for the next five weeks (out of country), so I'll hopefully brainstorm another couple stories on the plane. So this story is one about Apollo and an OC, because I want to do something less dark or sad like the last one. It's funny to me because I have the same lame poetry skills as Apollo (if only you knew…), so let's see what's in store for us. Her name is Hunter, in honor of Artemis, who will never have children, despite whatever one dreams of.
Dear Apollo,
You're not coming back
for Christmas. I could give you
a list of things
that happened after you
showed up on his birthday every
year. But let's not
ramble about that time
when he struck that
monster in the heart and
head with a bow and
arrow simultaneously. I mean,
that's not dangerous right? And we
won't talk about the time
we had to fire the
babysitter after he charmed her with
iambic pentameter (oh,
the agony). And, just forget about
the time when he
stopped breathing during the solar
eclipse (what the heck
were you thinking?)
So while I sit here writing
this, you should actually
listen to what I just said. I don't
care if you're a god or whatever
because it's not your job as the
father of my son to influence
my social life. Yes, we were in love
at one point, shockingly. But
I'm sorry to say
that we lost the feeling,
but at least it was mutual. And yet,
you prank call my parents, and
you come over and
flirt when my friends
are visiting. Just to
remind me that a
god like you
is more awesome than I,
the great Hunter. Ha! I laugh
because you're not
as awesome as me. No need
for explanation.
Just so you know, I'll
be sending the boy
off to Camp Half-Blood next
year. I'm really getting tired of
that monster hiding behind
the tree. Let's pray for
the best safety. I heard you're
into haikus these days.
Here's one:
Stop messing up my
Social life. You're his father
But not my husband.
Best wishes,
Hunter
PS. You're sister visited me. She's out to get you for trying to abduct one of her hunters ?
A/N ha…that was my bad attempt to be funny. I apologize if it's lame, because I'm honestly not that good at doing sarcasm in writing. Hmm…I'll need to work on that. Like I said, I'll be gone for 5 weeks. I'll have lots of ideas in that time. Next chapter will most likely be May Castellan or Esperanza Valdez. Stay tuned!
