A/N: So you guys must really like me. Anyway, this chapter is mostly in Olivia's POV, but there is a big a** twist coming up my children. Hope you guys Enjoy. :)
Chapter 6
Ray's POV
I followed Mo and the rest of Loser Mouth to the pavilion. "Okay, Loser Mouth, what is going on!" I said, looking directly at Stella. She gave me the dirtiest glare back.
They all looked between each other, they were all giving Mo these looks, as though they were trying to get her to tell me something. Probably cause she was the only one I didn't entirely hate, that much.
"Before I tell you guys anything, you have to promise not to freak out." Mo said looking between me and Scott.
"We promise Mo, now what is going on." Scott said looking at her, or trying because Mo wouldn't look him in the eye.
Mo had just opened her mouth to speak when someone interrupted her, "Mo, I should tell them." I turned and saw Olivia hand in hand with Wen. I ran over and hugged Olivia.
"You okay, I saw you crying. Please tell me you're not hurt." I said looking at Olivia.
"Ray, I'm fine. You know prophecies." Olivia said looking at me.
"Olivia, is there something we're missing?" Stella said looking at the two of us. I forgot that they didn't know, and they wouldn't suspect anything since we were bugging each other last night.
"Should you tell them or should I, Ray?" Olivia said looking at me.
"Olivia, what is going on?" Wen said looking at Olivia right in the eyes.
"Um, you guys probably aren't going to believe this, but…" Olivia said trailing off.
"Olivia," The rest of Loser Mouth and Scott said all at once.
"Rayismytwinbrother" Olivia said really fast. If I didn't know what she was going to say, I might not have heard it, it was that fast.
"I'm sorry, Livy you have to talk slowly." Mo said looking at Olivia.
"Ray is my twin brother. Fraternal of course, but my twin brother none the less." Olivia said looking at the others.
"You're right I don't believe you, especially since A) Ray doesn't stay with Gram B) you were surprised when you saw Ray and C) he seemed like he didn't know you were a demigod." Stella said looking between the two of us.
"Now it's my turn Liv." I said looking at Olivia.
"Take it away big brother." Olivia said putting her arms up in mock surrender.
"Wow, you guys are good." Stella said. Olivia looked at me and rolled her eyes slightly, "Hey I saw that Olivia!" Stella said pointing at her.
"Ha! BUSTED! Looks like you're not the perfect sibling anymore! Anyway, I don't live with Grams because I live with my adoptive parents, our mom only wanted a girl, not a boy. She was surprised to see me cause I didn't tell her I was going, it just kinda happened. And lastly I wasn't surprised that she was a demigod, I was surprised you lot were." I said looking at the others.
Olivia slapped my arm, "Be nice! Just because you don't like them doesn't mean you have to be a jerk to them all the time." Olivia said.
"Sorry, it's in my nature lil' sis." I said punching her lightly on the arm, Wen gave me a death glare, "Wow, it was light! Like I would hurt her, she's my little sister, I'm supposed to protect her." I said looking at Wen. His expression softened, but only a little bit.
"I'm still not convinced, I mean if he's supposed to 'protect you' then why does he act like a royal pain to you all the time?" Stella said.
"Oh, we didn't figure out we were twins until last year, after Rising Star. He knew he was my brother, but that didn't mean he had to be nice to me. When we figured out that we were twins we decided that we should keep up the act of hating each other, cause it would look suspicious if Ray's whole attitude towards me changed." Olivia said.
"How did you figure out you were twins?" Charlie asked.
"This way." Olivia put her hand out to me, I grasped it tightly, and closed my eyes, knowing what was going to happen. I heard the gasps coming from the others, I weakened my grip on Olivia's hand and opened my eyes, I saw the sun rays coming from our hands. I looked over at Olivia and nodded, we released our hands. "You guys can look now," Olivia said.
"Okay now I believe you. But does that happen only when you touch hands?" Stella said looking at us.
"Nope, when we touch skin, but we can control it so it only happens when we want it too." I said looking at Stella.
"Okay, I want a magic twin!" She said. I have to admit that was kind of funny, but I only smirked a half smirk."
"OH MY GODS!" Olivia said pointing at me.
"What?" I said trying not to look guilty.
"You found something Stella Yamada said funny!" Olivia said looking dead at me with her brown eyes, trying to will me to look at her.
"That's not true." I said looking at her.
"You smirked your I-think-it's-funny-but-I-don't-want-anyone-to-know smirk. You do that with me whenever I say something funny." Olivia said pointing at me. I looked down at my feet. I was not going to give Yamada the satisfaction that she said something somewhat funny.
"Beech found something I said funny?" Stella said, in a unbelieving tone.
"Look it doesn't really matter. Can we get back to the thing at hand, what the heck is going on, why were you crying," I said pointing at Olivia, "and keeping secrets from me?" I said giving her my you-better-tell-me-right-now-or-you're-going-in-the-lake glare.
"Will you not give me that look!" Olivia said, "I'll tell you, but you have to promise not to break anything after I tell you." She said looking at me.
"Well that depends on wha…" I started.
"Raymond!" Olivia said. Stella started laughing, then she nearly doubled over when Olivia put her hands on her hips and I agreed.
"Wow man, she has got you WHIPPED!" Stella said between laughs.
"Shut it Yamada!" I said glaring at her.
"Ray! Look this isn't going to be easy to hear, but theMinotaurisgoingtoArizonaa ndwe'vebeengivenaquesttogoandstop itbuttwoofuswon'tcomeback." Olivia said as quickly as she could. (A/N If you couldn't read it just wait.)
"Olivia slo…" Mo started.
"Did you just say that the Minotaur is going to Arizona and you've been given a quest to go and stop it but two of you won't come back?" I asked looking at her. Olivia nodded.
"Wait, you understood what she said!" Mo said looking between the two of us.
"Yeah, I'm her twin for Gods sake. Now explain this to me further Liv." I said pointing at a rock basically telling her to sit.
"I'll stand Ray." Olivia started pacing back and forth trying to think of ways to tell me what was going on without me freaking out and breaking something. "Thalia," she said pointing over at the Hunter, "came last night and said that the Minotaur had escaped Tartarus, and was headed towards the place where a demigod scent was strongest. Clearly our scent lingered because we all hang out together, well most of us anyway." She said looking at me and raising her eyebrows.
"So you're telling me that the Minotaur is heading to where we live, and our families are in danger?" I said, a hint of anger coming through my voice. When Olivia nodded, I lost it. I ran into the woods, despite the calls from Olivia, Scott, Percy, Annabeth and the others.
Olivia's POV
"RAY!" I screamed starting to run after him. Scott grabbed my arm to stop me.
"Olivia, no one knows Ray like I do, you've got to let him cool down." Scott said trying to reason with me.
"No, Scott he's my brother, I'm not going to let him do this alone." I said. I shook Scott off my arm and ran into the forest after my brother.
Olivia's POV
The forest was darker than any other part of the camp, and it didn't help that it was starting to get late and darker. Being a Daughter of Apollo means I don't do well in the dark. I start feeling nauseous and get dizzy and sometimes I even pass out. But that hasn't happened in a long time, ever since Lemonade Mouth was formed I've had a light inside of me always keeping me up in darkness, as corny as it sounds, it was true.
"Olivia!" I turned around and saw the others running towards me. I ran to them as well, but when I was a few feet away I started feeling dizzy and fell, but Wen caught me.
"Thanks." I said looking up at Wen.
"No problem," He said smiling down at me. He pulled me up onto my feet, but didn't let me go.
"Awe! I still see love!" Mo cooed at us. I forgot that we didn't tell the others that Wen kissed me. That didn't matter though because Wen grabbed my hand, and not in the friendship hand hold, like what happened in front of Dante's when we saw the "Don't Stop the Revolution" (A/N Have you guys heard Don't Stop The Revolution by Adam Hicks [Wen], Chris Brochu [Ray], Naomi Scott [Mo] and Haley Kiyoko [Stella]? It is so good! It is for the Lemonade Mouth Puckers Up book release.) banner, but a relationship hand hold, intertwining his fingers through mine. "Wait a minute! Wait a Mel's Lemonade minute! That is not a friend hand hold. That's a relationship hand hold! Oh my Gods! You guys are dating! I knew it would happen! Didn't I tell you Stella! Charlie you owe me five dollars!" Mo said turning to Charlie.
"Wait, you guys bet on if we would get together?" Wen said looking between Mo and Charlie and Charlie handed her the five dollar bill.
"No we bet you would get together while we were here." Mo said as she happily stared at the bill.
"You still bet on whether we would get together." Wen said.
"Yes bu…"
"Look guys, we can discuss this later. Can we just please find Ray. It's getting dark." I said looking up at the sky through the thick trees.
"So?" Charlie said.
"So, we're children of Apollo, we don't do well in the Dark. Our father is the God of The Sun. Heir go, we need sunlight, and in case you didn't notice Charlie, there is no sunlight in here." I said pointing up to the sky.
"Oh. Well lets go find Beech than." Charlie said running up ahead.
"You know I would really appreciate it if you guys called him Ray." I said walking hand in hand with Wen, Mo on the other side of me, Charlie ahead of all of us banging his drumsticks on random trees here and there, Stella and Scott behind me, and Percy, Annabeth, and Thalia behind them.
"Why?" Stella said putting her head on my shoulder while walking.
"Because he's my brother. I know he's not the nicest person on the planet, but could you guys just do it, for me?" I said looking at Stella.
"Mo and I already call him Ray." Scott said from behind me.
"Don't speak for me Scott," Mo said from my left side. She still was mad at him for lying to her, "I'll keep calling him ray though. For you Liv."
"I'm cool with it!" I heard Charlie yell from a few feet ahead of us.
We all stopped and turned to look at Stella. "What?" Stella said looking at us. I gave her a look and then rolled my eyes. "Fine I'll try my best. But I make no promises." Stella said, she then walked ahead and passed a confused Charlie.
"Didn't expect that." Charlie said pointing at Stella with a drum stick. We kept walking and walking, calling out Ray's name, and occasional Beech coming from Stella.
As the sun went lower, I got sicker. "Guys, stop, I, I think I'm gonna be sick." I stopped and put my hands out. A wave of nausea came over me, I ran to the nearest tree and threw up. "Yep, I've got moon sickness." I said.
"You need a piggy back ride?" Charlie asked me putting his drumsticks back into his pockets.
"That would be awesome." Charlie turned around and knelt down partially. I was glad I was wearing jeans that day, I hopped on to Charlie's back. He then straightened his back and looked back at me.
"Where to my lady?" Charlie said in a very bad British accent.
"Haha, to my brother. Sir Charles." I replied with a somewhat better British accent. He started galloping around like a horse. It was funny at first, but after a while I started getting nauseous again. "Charlie, I'm getting nauseous."
"Sorry," Charlie started walking at a normal pace. He did a little hop to push me back up, cause I had started slipping. I tightened my grip around his neck, and Charlie did the same to my knees. "So what is this moon sickness?" Charlie asked, trying to look back at me.
"It's an Apollo thing. Since Apollo is the God of the Sun, he and his kids don't really do well when it's dark out. We call it moon sickness, cause it happens when the moon is out." I said.
"Oh, that makes sense." Charlie said looking back at the trees ahead of him, "Is there anything special for Hermes children?" He asked, "Cause I've been hearing that we're nothing special." Charlie looked down at the ground.
"Charlie, don't ever let me hear you talk like that again!" I said whacking him slightly on the head. He did a small chuckle, "Listen to me, you are special, no matter who your parents are. A lot of people here aren't like their parents. And I can guarantee you that no other Hermes child can drum like you. You are your own God, a drumming God." I said rubbing his hair. "Also you guys can heal people at will, it comes in handy."
"That's kinda cool. And thanks Liv. I didn't think anybody thought I was that special." Charlie said trying to look back at me again.
"You are special, believe me." I said looking back down at him, "Now don't tell Wen I did this, but…" I bent my neck down and kissed him on the cheek. "Thanks for being there for me, for picking me up when I needed it, literally." I said with a laugh.
Charlie was smiling up at me when we heard Mo scream. Charlie started running as fast as he could, I put my head on his shoulder and closed my eyes so I wouldn't feel nauseous again. When we finally stopped after what felt like forever, I looked up and saw the one thing I didn't want to see.
Ray on the ground and surrounding him was a group of hungry beasts.
A/N So I decided to have a sweet moment between Olivia and Charlie, cause I haven't really focused on him a lot, so now you know his inner most thoughts. Well some of them.
Love
