Making Waves 12

Sasomeii

Being with the Hunters was amazing. But I felt like there was a part of me missing without him. But I had to stay with the girls or then another part of me would be missing. Ack! Why did things have to get really complicated? So I just put up with it.

Then I got the news of a new quest that'd been assigned.

After a year with the Hunters, we had to go back to Camp Half Blood. Kyoya had really changed. His hair wasn't completely green, and some brown hair was starting to show through. His acne had cleared up a bit, and his chest with thicker. He was fit and taller by about two inches. He greeted me with his famous grin, only it had a golden tooth in it now.

"Seventeen years old," he commented, "you've changed."

Yes, I was more developed.

"You have too," we embraced each other tightly. I felt safer with him than I had in a long time.

"Sasomeii!" Annabeth grinned at me with Amelia. We high fived, and Percy took a step back from me.

I know I scared him since I took him down. Hee, hee.

"Any idea for how long you'll be here?" Yo-Yo asked, sitting on a large rock with the other three. Hopping beside him, I shrugged.

We chatted for a while. I told them about the Hunters, and they told me about Camp. Then I realized something: They were hiding something from me. I could tell by the look in their eyes.

"What are you hiding?" I asked.

"Well…" Percy took a breath, "we're going on a quest."

"Really?" my interest was captured.

"Poisiedon and Athena have been fighting a lot," Annabeth explained.

"And a lot of freaky weird things have been happening at camp to persuade the campers to take sides," Percy chimed.

"So we're going to Olympus to talk some since into them," Amelia finished.

"There isn't a prochecy," she added with a pout.

"Chiron is just tired of the water taking shapes and music humming people to sleep so they don't have to do chores," Annabeth smiled a little.

"Our parents," that did it. We all busted up at Percy's response.

"Well, yeah," Yo-Yo hopped down, "is that okay?"

"Totally fine, why wouldn't it be?" I wanted a quest, BUT my life was a quest now. So I hoped he had fun with the happy couple…and Amelia…gr…

A couple of days later, they were all set. I hugged Annabeth, high fived Percy, and wished Amelia a good luck. Then I almost kissed Yo-Yo. But I caught myself and stood past. Tears threatened to spill over my eyes as they left. I went to our cabin and curled up in a ball. Suddenly, I knew what I had to do.

It was simple and insane. I got up and ran.
