Hi everyone! Here is the next chapter. Also, make sure you read my note at the bottom!
I pushed the offered nectar away. I was ! #$%^&* mad at Ares. I stormed out of the infirmary, faintly aware of the sound of the others scrambling after me. Crowds of campers were on the beach, but they all parted to let me to the front. I waded waist deep into the water, then I shouted, as loud as I could, "ARES!" The chariots froze. His voice came out of the black and red one.
"What do you want, girl?"
"Get your sorry excuse for an ! #$%^&* over here!" I probably shouldn't have sworn, but I was pissed. I heard mumbled voices, but Ares didn't come out, so I called him a coward, which did the trick.
"What, girl?" Ares said in a bored voice.
"You stop all of this now. You stop fighting, and you leave Percy alone."
"Why? I'm having fun."
"Ares, in a hundred years, Percy will be dead. You won't care about this then, so just stop your little temper tantrum."
Ares's nostrils flared. Then, he rushed forward, only to be stopped by a blinding light. When it disappeared, there stood Poseidon and Athena.
"My daughter is right. Stop all of this now, and then you will be spared.
Ares had a pained expression on his face. He was probably trying to think. Finally, he stated his majestic decision: "Okay."
Poseidon and Athena seemed satisfied. They disappeared in a flash of light. Ares smirked. Then, he prepared to swing at me again. A giant wall of water rose, and fell. Ares was sopping.
"Leave her alone," said my favorite voice in the world. Percy waded out to me. "Hey, beautiful," he greeted me.
Ares looked about to cry. "I hate you all! I'm going to go find Aphrodite. She said she's free tonight…'' And he disappeared too.
"Well, that was fun," Percy commented.
I didn't respond. I just kissed him.
Yay! That is probably it. I might do an epilogue, though.
Okay! House of Hades comes out in four days! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
I'm super excited! If you couldn't tell. I think we've waited for this one the longest. I don't care that they were all a year, this wait was the longest. 4 days!
So, in celebration, I am going to start a new story! Betrayed by Home is the title. Please go read it!
If you have read Aphrodite's House of Romance, you will know that she discontinued it. I volunteered to take over, so a chapter of that will be posted soon! Thank you all for being awesome and listen to me ramble!
P.S. Four days!
