Chapter 4: Two gods and a Snowball fight
Disclaimer: I sadly do not own the wonderful phenomenon known as PJO (is this really necessary?)
A/N: Hey guys! So I changed my mind. I'm also gonna post this chapter. U think starting next Saturday, it when I'll try to update every week. But, as much as I can finished today and tomorrow I'm probably gonna post. Remember to read and review my pretties (do you guys like that name? Just curious) Anyway, here is chapter 4 of Death's Prankster
CAS' POV
"Oh, but you have" What? Did he just say that to say that or did he just read my mind?
"The latter of the two" he said again. I just looked at him. He had a crooked smile, and an upturned nose. His brown eyes had a mischievous glint in them. They looked oddly familiar, put I couldn't place it. Hm... I'll get it soon. Anyway, Chiron, Jo and Nico stood up again. Chiron said something, but I didn't hear it. I was focusing on Nico. As soon as I saw him, I knew he was like me. Doesn't like a lot of people, wears an emotion mask, but he isn't an introvert. I knew this because as soon as we entered the camp, almost all of the girl were gawking. All I could think was "Where is your pride people?". He was a bit of a player, and I hate people like that. Anyway, I noticed how his skinny frame was. He was very pale but he had a lot of muscle. I could tell he was very skillful with that black sword of his. I turned my attention back to the figure. He really looked familiar... well, I still couldn't place him, and this wasn't a great time to ask.
"Dude, where have we seen that guy. He looks familiar" Joe whispered to me. Ha, I can totally imagine whisper-yelling that. Whisper-yelling...Whisper-Smelling...Lisper-Welling... whoa. You see what my ADHD does to me? "Hello Hermes" Chiron said. "Chiron," he said "I need to speak with you and the children" Chiron glanced at Nico. "Alright Nico, you're dismissed.". Nico didn't look like a happy camper. Haha, happy camper... stupid ADHD. Chiron led us over to a few chairs. Hermes sat down. Joe was about to take a step towards the chair, but glanced at me first. Ever so slightly, I shook my head. He stopped mid step and stood right next to me. He trusted me fully. I only did what was best for him. He meant the world to me. Me and Jo knew better than sitting. Sitting down meant showing cooperation. Joseph may have more of a social life than I do, but I shaped him to know when the best time to run or fight is. So yes, Jo could do what I could, but he's never had to. He isn't a huge fan of hurting people, though I can't say the same about me. So, we didn't sit, and Chiron gave us a disapproving glance, but cleared his throat. "Well, what brings you here?" Chiron asked, though he looked like he already knew the answer. "These campers do," said Hermes "These children are highly powerful" Chiron just nodded. Hermes sighed. Even that looked familiar. He turned towards us. "Hello children" "Wait, so...so you're our father?" Jo asked before I could say anything. Hermes nodded and smile "Yes I am your dad" he answered, but I corrected him. "You're not our dad, you're our father." I spat at him. I know I was being rude, but this guy made us stay with Lauren, who could have killed us in our younger years. She probably wanted to, but she was never sober enough. Anyway, Hermes looked taken aback, not expecting my response. Well, I hope he wasn't expecting hugs or something. "Jo and I don't have parents alright? Get that in your head, then come talk to me."
With that, I stormed out the door.
JOSEPH'S POV
I was about to follow her, when Chiron grabbed my arm.
"Please, I can tell you have more patients, let us explain everything to you then you can leave and go tell her". I guess I could do that. Cassidy was my ultimate best friend. Me and her were so close, we didn't go to bed on arguments or anything. She was the only family I had. I know she had a temper, she was rude to a lot of people, and never gave up on an argument until she won. Unless it was with me, then we would compromise and apologize at the same time. I know that everything she did was for me. She hide it expertly, but I know that when she tells me to sit with my friends during lunch, she hates sitting a lone. I never want to leave, so she usually threatens me to leave. I love my sister, but she scares me. She was a rebel. She didn't listen to anyone and did whatever she wanted. Occasionally I could convince her not to steal something, but that was rare. She usually didn't care. But let me say, she didn't steal just for the heck of it, she stole what we couldn't afford and I helped. For example, one time, we walked into a CVS, needing some toiletries. So we would take turns. Sometimes, she would be the one to distract the employees, while I picked up the stuff, or visa versa. Our distraction usually chatting with the staff, then, when the deed was done, we would rendezvous in the back. Anyway, I told Chiron I would stay as HErmes started explaining everything.
NICO'S POV
I was told to leave, but I lingered outside of the big house. I sent a ghost in there to spy for me, but I guess Hermes sensed it and destroyed it. See, I don't like not knowing things. Suddenly, the girl, Cassidy barged out, slamming the door behind her. She was fuming. She looked like she was going to punch a wall. She walked past me without even registering me. She was walking towards the woods. I decided to follow her. She may be pretty bad ass, but I don't think she knew about the monsters. I followed her past Zeus' fist. She was walking pretty far. I'm trying to figure out what happened. So far, I've gathered that she left when she wasn't supposed to. What a rebel. I mean, even I don't just dis the gods. That would probably me killed. Cassidy finally stopped. She sat down on a log and put her head in her hands. She let out a loud sigh. She was muttering something to herself, but I couldn't make it out. I silently walked up behind her. I leaned over her shoulder and whispered "Hey". In return, she turned around and punched me in the gut. Then she realized who she punched. She saw me and just smiled. She said sorry, but not sincerely, she said it like when your mom or dad tell you to say sorry, so you say it with fake sweetness.
I glared at her, and she smirked. Not a full smile, but close. She offered me her hand and when I had just grabbed it, she let go. So I fell on my back.
CAS' POV
Wow, Nico was so easy to trick. He grumbled and got up himself. See, it was winter and snow had just began to fall so as he brushed himself up and threw a snowball at his head. Perfect shot. He glared at me and made a big one,
"If you throw that, I will throw your into a fire so you will burn alive." I threatened.
"Doesn't matter, my dad is god of the underworld, I think I'm safe" he replied cockily. With the last word he chucked the snow ball at me, it was meant to hit my face but I jumped up and it hit my stomach.
"WHAT THE HELL?!" I yelled, laughing. I ran up to him, tackled him and started shoving snow in his shirt. He was squirming, I was so funny. I was so busy laughing, that I didn't notice the snow until too late. He had put a huge pile of snow down my jacket. "OH NO YOU DIDN'T" I said in a sassy voice. This went on for a while, than we finally stopped. We were both panting heavily, having run around do much. I yawned. Then he yawned.
"You know what Nico?" I asked
"What?"
"I don't even know you that well, but you're the first person to hear my laugh like that in years, beside Joseph" he was silent. I just sighed and got up.
"I'll see you later" I said and walked off before he would answer. I decided to walk around and find Joseph. When I saw him, he was talking to this girl, probably a year younger than him. She look really nice. She had honey blond hair, and that's all I could make out. I glanced around, waiting until the girl left to got talk to Jo, and I saw them. The two girls I beat the crap out of, were over by the cabin like structure. Gertrude and her friend? I smiled to myself, this is gonna be fun.
