The sight of the Gods.
Jason Grace (Zeus), Piper Mclean (Aphrodite), Annabeth Chase (Athena), Percy Jackson (Poseidon), Nico di Angelo (Hades){In my version of mythology Hades has a throne on Olympus}, Thalia Grace (Artemis), Katie Gardiner(Demeter), Luke Castellan(Hermes), Pollux (Dionysus), Leo Valdez (Hephaestus){ In my version of mythology Hephaestus is not ugly but handsome and is not married to Aphrodite} Frank Zhang(Ares){ In my version of mythology Ares is not so hot-tempered} Will Solace (Apollo), Reyna (Hera). And in this all the gods are not related so much together. And they did not have so many children.
Chapter 6
Annabeth (Athena) POV
"Ouch! Piper! This dress is too tight!" I said to Piper.
"Nuh ah! This dress brings out your curves. Now, don't you have a kelp head to impress?" She had me at 'Kelp head to impress'. I was about to grow to my giant size when Piper screamed at me saying that I shouldn't tear her favorite dress.
"But Piper! I don't want to impress that obnoxious-big-ego-stupid-seaweed-brain to like me!" I whined. I mean come on. None you guys notice? I remember when I was his teacher, he did a lot of mischief. I just don't want to make him make my head explode.
Piper was giving me these very huge high heels, when I noticed something. She was completely distracted. I tried searching for any expression on her face to tell me what was going on her mind. She seemed to be having a day-dream but her eyes were clouded with many colors which was even harder to read. I looked at the clock and saw that two hours have been passed. Exactly every thirty minutes, Piper would suddenly turn distracted. Was it because of Percy's reappearance? Or...
"Piper, are you thinking about Jason?" I asked her. She immediately looked up from her magazine which she was examining to see the latest fashion and which dress would suit me.
"Um, kind of. I was thinking how we were alone in the throne room last night when all of you left. We were... having an interesting conversation. But then Reyna appeared and pulled him away. I know she is his wife but. Annabeth, you know I have an insanely huge crush on Jason. And I am the Goddess of love but I don't even know what to do. I hate Reyna so much!" She said and then looked down to her designer slippers.
"It's okay, if it helps, I don't like Reyna that much either. But I am telling you, Jason likes you. He will one day leave Reyna and he will ask for your heart. Don't worry about it." I said with a small smile. That made Piper fell better and she sat up straighter and looked into my eyes.
"It is going to happen again, Annabeth. You can't avoid it like the last time." Piper said. My expression darkened and I looked away from her
"I am not in love with him and I never will be in love with him. Please don't pursue me to fall in love with him like last time." I said in a serious voice, but my voice cracked a little.
"But I was right the last time! Annabeth you cannot run away from love! It will find its way somehow into your heart. And he loved you Annabeth! I saw it in his eyes this time and has one emotion in his eyes when he sees you. It is love!" She yelled and tried to grab my arm.
"How can you make me fall in love with someone who I can't even stand?" I yelled at her face and ran out of her room into the hallway.
...The sight of the Gods...
I was sitting on my throne in the throne room when I heard Will's horrible haikus. He came stumbling in with his sunglasses on his head. He was wearing a full-sleeved shirt and a red color sneakers. His blond hair seemed to reflect back the sunlight that was entering the room. He grinned at me and was walking his way towards me. Oh no, Please no, I thought that phrase in six different languages hoping that maybe it might come true, but it didn't.
"Hey Annabeth! Would you-" I cut him off before he could even blink.
"The answer is no. I am not going to the party with you." Last time I did, and it was the most biggest mistake of my life. He kept stepping on my feet while dancing. The most terrible thing is that he loves to dance and he kept taking me on the dance floor to dance.
"Really Annabeth. Give me two reasons." He said with a smirk.
"Because I don't want my feet to have blisters." I tried walking from that place as fast as I could, but Will grabbed my arm and raised an eyebrow.
"I said two reasons. You said only one." I looked around frantically to see if there is anything I could use as an excuse. That is when Percy Jackson came in. His eyes were a lighter shade of sea-green because of the sunlight. He was carrying a shopping bag. He looked at Will and me and looked confused. Without a thought I ran to him and put my arms around him. I looked to see his expression and he was confused. So was Will.
"Um, Will! Percy is my date. That is the second reason." I said with a smile. Will looked frightened.
"Oh! Sorry Lord Poseidon- I mean, Percy, um, I should leave." Will said and ran out of the throne room.
I looked back at Percy and he had a cocky smirk. Then realization dawned me. It is Percy Jackson. I ran to him without even thinking. Now, I would rather go on a date with Will then be with Percy alone in the throne room.
"So you are my date?" He asked with a huge grin.
"No, my date is-" I tried thinking fast for a name of any God who doesn't have a date. "Uh- Luke Castellan." Percy's smile faltered.
"Then why didn't you tell Will that Luke was your date." He asked
"Well, because Luke is not here. Will would have thought that I am lying and wouldn't have let me go." It was the truth, Will wouldn't have made it possible for me to escape.
"Then how do I know that you are lying about that date?" He says with his cocky smirk back on his face.
"Because, I am not lying." I lied. Luke is my best friend so he would also play along. Even if I ask him out, well, all the girls are occupied so I am the only one free. And I think right now he may be desperate to find a date.
Percy looks sad the moment I said that. And I almost felt bad for him. Almost.
"But Piper is free. She has been declining people for personal issues. I am hundred percent sure that she would say 'yes' to you. After all, you are the resurrected God." I added the last part with venom. Percy slouched and sighed.
"Why do you guys treat me like I am about to explode or something. I might be powerful but I won't do anything to hurt you guys." Percy said.
"I said the last part venomously not in a 'ooh I am scared' manner." I snapped and Percy frowned.
"Well, it looks like I was right. You don't like me." He stated.
"Oh my Gods! Let us clap for Percy Jackson for figuring that out. Of course I don't like you." I said dramatically.
"You know, you don't have to be that loud. Are you an elephant or something?" He said and that defiantly broke my nerve. I wanted to scream so many things at him. Instead, I stomped away angrily.
When I reached in my room, the lump in my throat was unbearable and I laid down on my bed and started to cry. I don't know for what am I crying for, but I always had the emotion to cry whenever I see Percy. I think after that war, him dying and everything must have broken something in me. I sat up straight and wiped my tears away and I walked towards my wardrobe to see what is there for me to wear.
I found the same dress which Piper had chosen for me. There was a note attached on the front. It said:
It will happen again
With love
Piper.
A/N HERE IS THE UPDATE! YAY!
