Okay this is Chapter 8

Disclaimer: I do not OWN PJO. Rick does.

The next day, James was able to sit up. But wasn't able to get out of bed until two days later. His bandages on his back and his arm made it difficult, so he didn't even bother putting on a shirt. Nightwatch told him what happen when he was asleep, everything. He was heading to cabin 10, Chiron assigned him as teacher of the beginners sword-fighting class with Percy today's class is cabin 10. He notice the girls were staring at him. He finally got to Aphrodite's cabin. He knock on the door and heard a commotion from the other side. Then Piper answered the door, "Yes…Oh James its you" she looked on the other side then adds, "Its good to see you up and about again, how do you feel."

"Yeess…uh I'm teaching your sword-fighting class and the time has been change, y'all have 20 minutes" James said then started back to the Arena.

James is warming up, trying to work through his pain, with Percy in the arena, after 15 minutes Cabin 10 came in to the arena. "Good morning, Chiron has ask me to help y'all out with your sword technic and being that your mother is my patron goddess accepted to help out, now lets see what we are dealing with here. Pair up and spar I will watch and give insight." They did as instructed pairing up.

After a few minutes James told to stop, then to circle around. "Now that I have seen what y'all can do. Percy, lets show them some things." James could feel the girls looking him up and down as he showed them some moves. He knew the girls were distracted.

The class went on until lunch. James dismissed the class for the day.

…

Four day after the Nagarlians's attack James received a Hero's lauralen for his courage during the attack. James knew it was best that the camp remain hopeful, but he also knew that the attack was only a test run of their abilities. That night Chiron allowed them to have a party to celebrate, it was okay there were people dancing. James saw Arnora standing with her cabin-mates, he walk up to her, "Can I talk to you" He said to as took her hand and led her away.

"What did you want talk to me about"

"Oh I hadn't plan anything I just wanted to be alone with you", He said. She said "awww"

"Do you want to dance" he ask.

"I'd love to"

James then led her out to the dance floor and they started dancing. It wasn't like anything else for the both of them. Time slowed, everything just faded away it was only the two of them. Arnora was wearing a violet rose knot-front dress, string diamond earrings and sandal-heels. Her hair was all done up in curls. James was wearing a maroon button down shirt and black pants and shoes.

"You look beautiful tonight"

"I'm glad you like it. I don't usually dress up like this. The only reason I did was because I wanted to look nice for you."

after what seem like hours James and Arnora came back down to earth with ending of the song. They looked around to see everyone starring at them.

"Uhhh… what are y'all looking at?"

Piper walk over to them and said, "There was thick thunder cloud that surrounded you two during the dance."

"Oh", James said, "I think that is my fault. I made the cloud happen short of."

Thalia and Percy broke in saying, "You did that cloud."

"Yeah why are y'all so surprise. Can't y'all control your parents element?"

The two shook their head. James added, "Sorry I didn't know."

…

Later James was walking with Arnora on the beach, you know, taking the long way back to cabin 10. Arnora asked, "James what is your mom like?" she could see his face become dark.

"She was warm, inviting, her voice could charm the stars." She gave a sorry look, as He added, "I'm sorry that is a dark subject to talk about, I had the bad luck of being born in the wrong time and to keep me around until I was needed, I was cursed with agelessness."

"That doesn't seem so bad."

"I had to watch everyone that I knew and cared about grow old and die, all the while I remain the same. I have walk in and out of time, and it all lead me to this moment." James pulls her close to him. Her skin glows in the moonlight and the star seem to dance in her eyes. James's painful memories faded. replaced by more resent memories. James was lost in thought when Arnora put her lips to his and felt the shock he gave off. Her heart raced so much she was afraid he could hear it. When they parted for breath. Arnora said, "Standing here with you so close to me. It's hard to fight these feelings. When it feels so hard to breathe, caught up in this moment, caught up in your smile."

James answered, "I've never opened up to anyone. So hard to hold back, when I'm holding you in my arms." He continue, "But we don't need to rush this, Let's just take it slow. I should get you back to your cabin."

They walk slowly back to cabin 10, giving each other quick glances and laughing when one caught the other. As they walk Arnora rested her head on James's shoulder. When got to the cabin Piper was waiting for them.

"Where have you to been all this time?", she said as Arnora was in mid laugh.

"Uh..."Arnora hesitated before James said, "Down at the beach, I had to get away from the party and Arnora came along because she to ask me about my past."

"really is that so?" Piper ask doubling

"Yeah thats right!"

"well this familiar." James said jokingly

Piper glared at him, James knew why she was the cabin leader she had to look out for every one in it.

"look I'm sorry, but you don't have to worry about Arnora. I don't plan to hurt her, for one I like her a lot. and two I'm sure I will have answer your mother Aphrodite who I know can be uh pardon me lady Aphrodite for this, can be vengeful when angered", James explained further.

James went to give her a kiss on the cheek but she turn her head so that her lips melt his. Piper jump the steps to hit James as she yield, "Hey stop that right now" James and Arnora parted with Piper pushing James back to his tent.

"Okay I'm going", James said looking at Arnora who was giggling.

"Okay goodnight thunder-head" Arnora said as she was rushed into the cabin by Piper.
