Chapter 2: One Month Later
"How is his training Luke?" Sarah asked. Luke smiled at his little sister
"He's working hard and he's dedicated." Luke said he smirked slightly before saying "but you already knew that didn't you?" Sarah blushed
"He's the first boy under my charge," she said defensively "and-"
"Sarah relax," Luke said smiling at his little sister. Luke knew that of this possible paring the only one who had any objections to it was Nico.
Flashback (yesterday afternoon)
"How can you stand by and watch as your little sister falls in love with a Human?!" Nico asked
"Because she is old enough to make her own choices," Luke said calmly "and it doesn't matter if he's human." Nico rolled his eyes and grit his teeth in exasperation
"She's a goddess he's a mortal." Nico said
"Your father was a god; your mother was a mortal." Luke pointed out.
"It doesn't change the fact that she's a princess and he's a commoner!!" Nico cried out in exasperation.
"Marie fell in love with you." Luke pointed out bluntly.
Nico gave an exasperated groan and walked away.
End Flashback
Sarah looked at Luke, "Nico doesn't like it" she said softly.
Luke sighed "Nico and Marie have something going on that is clouding his judgment; he'll get over it at some point" he said this for his own reassurance as much as for Sarah's. Sarah nodded and walked with Luke to the training grounds.
As Luke was training Will he noticed that Will kept darting his eyes to where Sarah was supposed to be watching concealed. Will worked harder every time he noticed that Sarah was watching.
In truth, Luke knew that Will was becoming attached to Sarah, Will saw her as a friend and a teacher. Luke knew it was only a matter of time before Will realized how close he was to Sarah. He seemed unaware of how protective Sarah was of him.
While Will was only eleven, Sarah didn't actually see him the way Marie saw Nico or the way Rose saw Luke… not yet. She simply seemed to be a silent protector and shadow for now.
Nico was kneeling before Marie and when she offered her hand to him, he kissed it respectfully. She smiled down at him.
"Rise," She told him, when he stood before her she said "Nico…" she was looking at him, worried "Are you ok?"
"Yes of course why wouldn't I be?" he replied
She looked straight into his eyes. "You're lying."
A few moments passed by before he sighed "It's that new boy. The one Luke is training."
She looked confused "Will? What about him?"
Nico took a deep breath and said, "a few days ago I saw Luke training Will, and while I was watching I noticed that Sarah was watching too. She seemed like-" He looked at Marie trying to explain how Sarah had looked. "It was like… like she was being drawn to him, he's eleven and he just arrived a month ago, yet… it looked like she'd known him for years."
"Nico," Marie sighed, and then she started fiddling with her engagement She looked like she was at a dilemma then she looked into his eyes and said "we started out the same way."
Nico stared wide eyed at her and she said "it's true and you know it! I was drawn to you after you had only been here for a few months as a boy of six if I remember correctly. She likes him, is that so wrong? Look at us."
"That's different." He said quickly.
She glared at him "how?"
"He's human" Nico replied scathingly.
Marie closed her eyes and said simply "that isn't why you hate him. You hate him because he's getting close to Sarah; you hate him because when he gets close to Sarah, he gets close to me as well." She opened her eyes and looked hurt.
Rose and Marie had both been spending a lot of time with Will, and while Nico didn't mind that Rose was hanging out with Will, He did mind that Marie was. He and Marie were already on rocky ground and Nico wasn't sure how Marie felt about Will.
Marie made him look into her brown-green eyes and she said softly "Will is sweet, Nico, but he's not you," she gave him a kiss on the lips and when she pulled away she said "I'm not going to leave you Nico."
