::Rooftops::::Chapter five::

We were at dinner that night as Chiron introduced Trent and Zane. "And as many of you have noticed, Nikai Laskaris is back!" Some cheered as I looked at them with a bored expression…despite my ADHD I didn't like attention like this. I sat alone at my own table. We all got up making sacrifices to the Gods. Seeing as I hadn't had food this good in a long time, this truly was a MAJOR sacrifice. But I never thought the mixed smell of BBQ pizza and chicken noodle soup would actually SMELL good. Speaking of smelling there was this one time in school when I was waiting in the lunch line and suddenly-GHA! Off topic again.

"Oh Gods…" Chiron muttered as I looked and saw above Trent and Zane…for all that's holly. No wonder they weren't claimed…above Zane was a lightening bolt the same one Thalia had all those years ago and above Trent was a trident…the symbol's of Zeus and Poseidon. Wow, talk about killing two birds with one stone, both of them had now broken their oath to Percy, and their old oath.

Wow…they both stood speechless when Chiron finally said, "Hail, Zane Trike son of the King of the Gods, and God of the sky, Zeus. And Trenton Zyset son of the Earth shaker, Poseidon."

Suddenly both seemed to lose their apatite as they walked out I followed, and Nico followed me. Haha…Son Zeus, son Poseidon, son Hades, and daughter Kronos. All standing on the same sandy beach of Camp Half-blood. We just all stood there looking out at the ocean, Trent's true home…hey, that meant Percy had a demi-god brother. And Thalia had a demi-god brother.

Maybe that's why Zane looked and acted so much like Zeno, who I learned had given his life for mine. Zeus must have something about the "Z's" guess that would make sense seeing as his own name started with a Z Then there was Thalia, her name started with a "T" well her name origin was Greek it meant flourishing. Then what about Poseidon? I mean, Percy's name started with a "P" as well but Trent's name started with a "T" last time I checked. But I know, "Trent" meant, gushing waters. In Latin. So that made sense seeing as Poseidon was God of the sea. But what about Hades. Nico's name started-AH! Getting off topic AGAIN!

"Speaking of Gods I wonder whether Dionysus lets his kids drink wine outside of camp, I mean, he is the god of wine so it would make sense but-" They all looked at me randomly.

"Who was speaking about Gods?" Nico asked unsure, that was when I realized I'd been talking aloud…oops?

"Oh…sorry," I said instinctively. "I've been known to do that…"

I told them all as they said in chorus with faint smiles, "We know…" Trent went to the Poseidon cabin and Zane went to the Zeus cabin, Nico went back to the Hades cabin. And I returned to my Kronos cabin.

I couldn't go to sleep as usual. As I climbed onto the nice cool roof and laid on it staring up at the moon. I looked and surprisingly…I saw someone on the top of Aphrodite's cabin. No Aphrodite camper would do that, they're too afraid they'd break a nail. As I looked closer…it was Aphrodite herself and she was staring at me. Her blonde hair was the blondest hair I'd ever seen and her sparkling blue eyes were beautiful. I might've thought she was the most beautiful thing, but to me, she wasn't. Nico was…as she made her way over here with a smile in the form of a smirk.

"Hello tonight Kai. Long day hmm?" She asked me shinning her lips up more with MORE lip gloss, not that she needed it.

"Yes, lady Aphrodite." I said politely thinking of how many Gods/Goddesses already hated me.

"Love is a cruel thing my dear, remember that, and your hair really needs conditioning." I frowned, she loved making people feel inferior. She was then really close as she whispered, "Love is the most powerful emotion and it can tear even you, the daughter of time, to shreds." I wondered for a second whether she just came here to criticize me and tell me that my hormones ruled me.

"Now, if you'll excuse me, the new arrival of your friends have caused quite a commotion on Olympus." With that the goddess was gone.

I sat back down, "Ouch!" I instinctively shouted as I pulled something from my back pocket…it was a black dart, the arrow tip was in the shape of a heart though. "What the Hades do I look like?! Cupid?!" I muttered angry about my sore butt.

Rooftops by: Lostprophets "When our time is up. When our lives are done. Will we say we've had our fun? Will make a mark this time? Will we always say, we tried. We're standing on the rooftops. Everybody scream your heart out. Standing on the rooftops everybody scream your heart out!" I continued on with the chorus, "Never gonna regret. Watching every sunset. We'll, listen to your heartbeat. All the love that we found. Standing on the rooftops. Wait until the bombs drop. This is all we got now. Scream until your heart stops. Never gonna regret. Watching every sunset. We'll, listen to your heartbeat. All the love that we found. Scream your heart out. Scream your heart out. Scream your heart out. Scream your…heart out" I sang softly…to myself.

I remembered all the good times I'd had with Nico and the others. How old was I really? Probably thousands of years and a couple of centuries and decades. When Kronos took away the curse, now I was just a regular demi-titan huh? I wondered if that was a good thing. I know Rachel had predicted another new prophecy, knowing my luck I'd get involved one way or another.

I wondered how Trent and Zane were taking all this. It, the prophecy, probably referred to them a lot as well. I noticed the sky was growing darker and the waves stronger. I also remembered Aphrodite's words. "Your friends have caused quite a commotion on Olympus." It was mostly Zeus's and Poseidon's fault for that though.

Rain fell lightly on me the cool rush of wind, I didn't mind it too much. I sort of liked the rain, I know most found it sad. But I liked it. The flickering light in the big house signified that Mr. D and Chiron were still playing pinochle. It felt good being back, it may not be in the way I would've liked it. But I was happy it happened non the less. When I saw someone out on the beach. Tonight just must be a night were everyone's sort of restless. I noticed it was Trent…good place for him huh? The beach…maybe I'd join him…
