Me: I really need to get better at updating.
Skylar: No, really?
Percy: I agree with Skylar.
Me: Of course you do *Sighs*
Percy: What is that supposed to mean?
Me: Nothing…nothing.
Skylar: Yeah, okay.
Me: Just do the disclaimer, only one of you this time.
*Silence*
Me: Where's Carter?
Carter: I'm here…so is everyone else.
Me: Carter do the disclaimer.
Carter: *sighs*Fine, candyland7 owns nothing but her OC's.
Me: You got that right.
Skylar POV
At first I was scared, [Of course I was, you'll see why if you just shut up!] no one knew where I was, no one saw me leave. Percy grabbed me and dragged me to the ground. I was really grateful for that, since I was really surprised. I started cursing in French; Percy gave me a look so I think he got the gist. [Yeah, no I'm not going to tell you what I said] Percy caused the wave to go over us and I grabbed his arm.
"Percy," I hissed, "Who is that?"
Percy looked up and said something in Ancient Greek.
"Triton," Percy said, "What are you doing here?"
"Who's Triton?" I whispered in Percy's ear. [Percy, you don't need to explain again]
The man had two green fins, but somehow was standing on the bridge. He also had long black hair pulled up in a pony tail and a green body. He glowered at me as though he heard what I said.
"He's my arrogant half-brother," Percy whispered back.
"Oh," I said in understanding.
Triton scowled, "Perseus," [Stop making fun of Percy!], "Why are you with an Egyptian?"
I reached for my wand and gripped it tightly. Triton was really starting to get on my nerves. [I don't have anger issues!].
"I'm sorry Triton, but I really don't care if she is an Egyptian or not. I don't see why you care though," Percy said with barely controlled anger.
I felt a surge of happiness that Percy stood up for me.
"Et jene m'inquiète pas siilest grec," I added. (And I don't care if he is Greek)
"Excuse me," Triton said, "I don't speak French.
"Does it look like I care?" [Carter, why are you giving me that look?]
Percy looked at me in surprise, while Triton looked at me with rage.
"Watch your mouth, I am a god!" Triton exclaimed. [A very arrogant one too]
"And I am hosting one, now buzz off!" I yelled. [I know he's not a bee Leo]
Triton looked like he was going to do something, but instead gathered his pride, the little he had left, and dove back into the water. I let out an angry huff, and turned to Percy. He was laughing. [Totally something I should have guessed]
"What's so funny?" I asked.
"That is totally something I should have done a long time ago," Percy gasped. [Umm, Thalia…you know what…have fun]
I just stared at him before checking the time again.
"Oh Horus, I am in so much trouble," I groaned.
Percy looked over my shoulder.
"Eh, I'm usually out late," Percy shrugged indifferent. [How late are you usually]
"Yeah, but I snuck out!" I exclaimed.
Told you not to sneak out, Athirat said.
You didn't say anything, I replied.
So what?
You make no sense…
"I've got to go," I said in a hurry.
"My dad is probably wondering what's up with Tiana by now, see you another time," Percy agreed.
"Okay," I smiled and gave him a hug, "Next time have Tiana bother both Triton and Poseidon." [Sorry Tiana, I was just kidding]
"Will do."
Percy waved before diving into the clear blue water below. I watched him until I couldn't see his yellow shirt anymore. [Piper…you're acting like an Aphrodite girl] Looking up I saw that the sun was going down, making beautiful colors of purple, pink, yellow, and orange. [It truly was a beautiful sight]
"Magnifique," I mumbled, "Jevais êtredans la merde." (Great, I am going to be in so much trouble).
I ran all the way back to the Brooklyn House. Pedestrians gave me odd looks as I ran by. Opening the door, I sighed before sitting down on the couch. My head was throbbing again, but I did my best to pretend it wasn't. [I know it didn't work]
"Sky, there you are. We have been looking everywhere for you," Uncle Amos said walking in the room. [Sorry…]
I looked up and saw my dark haired uncle looking down at me with an expectant glance. We just looked at each other for a while, and then Carter walked in.
"Uncle Amos…SKY!" Carter exclaimed. [You'll see later]
"Ow! Don't yell," I said covering my ears.
My head gave another great throb of pain. [Guys, I had a concussion] Uncle Amos looked at me in worry.
"Sorry," Carter whispered. [LOL]
"Nice to see you feel better," I said.
"Eh, I'm the only one that got better," Carter sighed, "No one knows why." [Carter is good at getting better quickly, I remember when he had the flu once…I'm getting off topic]
"Hopefully we find out."
"How's your head?" Uncle Amos asked.
"What happened to your head?" Carter asked.
"I hit it against the wall, after running into Walt," I explained slightly. [I know it wasn't the whole story]
Carter could read me like a book [Yeah, it gets really annoying] he could tell I was holding back. But thankfully Carter didn't push me.
"I'll go get some more ice for that," Uncle Amos said before walking to the kitchen.
Carter sat down next to me. I turned towards him.
"How's Sadie and the others?" I asked. [I was trying to stay away from awkward silence]
"Sadie's getting worse," Carter sighed before continuing, "Thalia and Nico are the same…Walt got sick while we were looking for you."
"Oh, well…" I had no clue what to say about that. [Still don't]
Carter smiled at my reaction and Uncle Amos came back with another ice pack. He placed it on my head, making me gasp. [I was slightly shocked] The coldness of the ice pack had slightly startled me.
"Is Skylar scared of an ice pack?" Carter teased.
"No, it startled me. Thanks Uncle Amos," I replied.
"You're welcome," Uncle Amos said.
I smiled slightly and moved the ice pack to the spot where it hurt the most. We sat there in an awkward silence for a moment. [Okay, it was longer than a moment] It was broken by Bast coming down the stairs.
"Skylar, we were looking for you," she said. [Yeah, I came back around sunset]
"I know," I mumbled.
"Anyways," Bast continued, "I can't find a cure. I've tried everything." [Not everything]
We all looked at the other. Carter wouldn't meet anyone's eyes. Feeling weird, I gave him a one armed hug. [Okay, I'm no good with the brother sister like feeling]
"There has to be a cure," I said.
Bast shook her head, "Maybe the other demigods know."
"Zeus has forbidden them to come in contact with them; they are stuck with their godly parents." [Yeah, that wasn't very smart]
They all looked at me.
"How do you know that?" Bast asked pulling down her dark hair.
Carter nudged me, and gave me a look.
"Umm, I kinda talked to him," I said cautiously.
"So that's where you went this morning," Uncle Amos said in realization.
"Maybe." [Yeah, that didn't work]
Carter started laughing. I gave him a weird look, but ended up laughing myself. What can I say laughing is contagious. [Don't even try it] The next thing we knew everyone was laughing, I had no clue why, but I couldn't stop.
"Okay," Bast said trying to stop, "Guys, AMOS!"
Amos stopped and looked at the two of us, I slapped Carter. [Yeah, I slapped my brother. Have a problem with that?]
"Stop," I ordered.
"I *gasp* can't," He said. [Sure you can]
I slapped him again, this time he stopped.
"OW!" he complained.
"I really don't care," I replied.
Carter looked about to open his mouth, when I suddenly got up. Going to the window I looked out. What I saw shocked me. Carter, getting curious, came over and looked out. His brown eyes widened in surprise.
"Is that?" Carter asked.
I nodded in shock, "It's the demigods. With a red head, but what are they doing here?"
Me: It's about to get interesting!
Percy: About time.
Rachel: I finally come in.
Skylar: Nice to see you again Rachel, been a long time.
Rachel: Hey Sky, I agree. So what's been happening?
Skylar: Other than this story…not much. You?
Rachel: Other than new campers, a few prophecies, and painting…not much.
Percy: Hi Rachel.
Rachel: Hi Percy are you three and the boy sitting in the corner. The only ones who do this.
Percy: Pretty much, the others stay as far from here as possible.
Carter: Can I get out of the corner now?
Me: No, not until I get reviews.
Carter: Please review, then I can get out of the corner.
