Riley's POV
I was walking around camp thinking about everything, but i wasnt really looking where i was walking and before i knew it, it ended up at the dock where i saw Percy sitting. I walked up and sat down at the edge with him." Hey. You're a son of Poseidon right?" "The one and only. Well, not really. I have a cyclops brother. His name is Tyson, but you get what i mean. Why" he asked. "No reason, just wondering. How long where you here before you got claimed?" I asked. "Well, we were playing capture the flag. It was the first day i came. I was fighting Annabeth, who not to mention was beating me to a pulp. I didnt know how to fight then, but she was the best fighter in camp. So anyways, i had fallen and had a lot of cuts. But my dad talked to me. Our godly parent can do that. He told me to go to the water, that it would heal me and give me stregnth. And it did. Then a trident appeared over my head and everyone knew i was a son of Poseidon." He said. It sounded so cool. I just sat there looking out over the lake thinking how relaxing it looked." The water looks so peaceful. I wish i could just go down there and stay down there and just forget about all of my problems." I said looking wistfully out at the horizon."You can." Percy told me. Then before i could question him further he pushed me in the water and jumped in with me putting some kind of bubble around us."It's okay. You can breathe. Being a son of Poseidon has its advantages." He said. I let out the breath i was holding and found that we were at the bottom of the lake, i was completely dry, and i could breathe. It really was relaxing. I took it all in and smiled to myself." I wish i could come down here all of the time. Its so nice down here. It's like all of your problems dont even matter." I said in a trance." Believe me, i've thought that more than once." He said. We stayed down there for about another hour just relaxing before we came up. I thanked him for taking me down there and he said it was no problem, but he had to go train. We went our separate ways and all i could think about was how much i loved the water. Right then Farkle came up to me." Oh, hi Farkle. Whats up?" I asked." So, Riley. He started." I think you and me both know that you really like me. So, dont you think we should go out?" Suddenly i had the urge to say yes to Farkle. Nothing else mattered more. So i said yes." Great." He said. And with that he walked away. But all i could think about was Farkle. Lucas, Maya, Annabeth, and Percy came over and asked me if i wanted to go train with them. But all i could say was Farkle after every question they asked me. I couldnt help it. I wasnt in control anymore.
Farkle's POV
I was walking back towards my cabin feeling pretty satisfied with my work when i realized that this wasnt me. I had just made a BIG mistake. I was so desparate i didnt even stop to think about what i was doing and how it might affect Riley. I had to go tell someone now so they could fix it. I found Riley, Maya, Lucas, Annabeth, and Percy all standing talking together. I walked up to them and Lucas asked if i knew what was wrong with Riley. All she could say was Farkle and she seemed kind if out of if. I told them what i did and they were REALLY mad. Especially Lucas. I asked Annabeth if there was anything we could do to snap her out of it, but she said that we would just have to wait 24 hours for it to wear off. Percy said we could lock her up in his cabin since nobody but him would need to go in and out. But unfortunatly i wasnt allowed to come with them to watch her because she would just want to be around him. I was really upset, but i knew it was my fault for getting her into this mess, so i could deal with it.
2 days later
Riley wasnt talking to me, but i dont blame her. I dont know why i had to go and do that. It completely ruined our friendship. I needed to talk to her. I found her sitting in the Hermes cabin. She saw me and all she said was "why"."Riley. Im so sorry. I really messed up. It's just that i was desperate. I was willing to do anything to make you go out with me, then the girls in my cabin told me about charmspeaking and i just couldnt help myself. I didnt stop to think about our friendship or how it might affect you Im sorry. I hope you can forgive me, but if you cant then i understand." I explained. "Thanks Farkle. I really appreciate you apologizing to me. I know you would never mean to do something like that to me on purpose. Apology accepted." She said. I was so happy that we were friends again and im never taking that for granted again. We walked out to go train with the rest of the group and we talked about Aphrodite on the way.
Riley's POV
When we got out to the training area we all got into our armor and got a weapon. We were all fighting eachother. Me with Lucas, Maya with Farkle, and Annabeth with Percy. I got a cut (when we were training, nobody was friends, its just natural for demigods) and i was getting weaker and weaker as time went on. I heard a voice in my head say to find water. It would give me stregnth. So i found a bucket of water and and stuck my hand it it. lucas looked at me like i was crazy, but i could feel my stregnth returning to me and more. Now everyone was looking at me, but they were looking right above my head. I looked up and saw a glowing green trident. Annabeth said "all hail Riley, daughter of Poseidon, and one of the big three. Percy and my others friends came up and hugged me. Maya told me that she told me i was going to get claimed, Lucas and Farkle were saying how cool this was and that i would have so e pretty awesome powers and Percy was saying how cool it was that he had a sister. I was just excited i got claimed. But by one of the most powerful Gods in Olympus? Even better! I didnt even care that it took 14 years for him to claim me. I was just so excited. And now i could make him teach me how to create a bubble around myself so that i could go down to the bottom of the lake, he could teach me how to control water, and hey! I have a brother thats a demigod! How cool is that? This was finally getting interesting.
So i know that Riley isnt 14 in the show but i wanted to make them a little older and i know Poseidon doesnt really make sense for Riley, but Poseidon is my favorite God and Riley is my favorite character in GMW so i wanted to make her a daughter of Poseidon. Dont forget to reveiw!
