HK: Ok… for the moment you have all been waiting for…
TT: We will not tell you… you MUST READ.
TV: Duh. We're not idiots.
TT: Well… maybe one is…
HK: I AM NOT AN IDIOT!
Disclaimer: TT: Yo Riordan! Toss up the books! RR: Never and HOW THE HADES CAN I THROW THAT FAR? TT: Didn't think that through… HK: And I'm the idiot?
Meghan's POV
Wow. I didn't think Tia could possibly embarrass herself like that! She needs to control her temper. (HK: The real Tia is currently fuming.) I was walking back from the dining pavilion and back to my cabin when a blinding flash appeared in front of me. I averted my eyes and when the light died, Athena stood in front of me.
"Lady Athena!" I bowed. Athena smiled a bit, but then turned serious.
"Rise, demigod. Usually Hermes would deliver messages, but I had to take over. He is trying to break up Poseidon and Zeus. They are trying to tear each other to shreds. I need you to tell the other demigods that the war has begun. Any willing to fight may do so. And, tell Shawn to choose carefully." Then she disappeared in a flash of light.
"Wait! What about Shawn! Lady Athena, why must you leave me hanging in such a dramatic way?" I screamed at the sky. Thunder rumbled. Maybe I have miscalculated my pleads, and she thought I was insulting her. "Sorry! Won't happen again!"
I figured I've got nothing to lose, so I went around Camp Half-Blood spreading the word. But I dreaded having to pass the message to Shawn. Maybe I should go ask what's up…..
I knocked on the door to the Poseidon cabin. "SHAWN SHAWN ANSWER ANSWER SHAWN! OPEN THE DOOOOOOR!"
Shawn opened the door. "What? What do you want?"
"I have a message from Athena, but before I give it to you, you have to promise that you won't do it."
"But-"
"PROMISE!"
"Okay, okay I promise!" He put his hands up in a sign of frustration and surrender. "Now tell me!"
"She said the war has begun, anyone can fight, and you must chose carefully"
"…..Um…. wow." He looked down at the ground.
"You promised." I said in a dangerous tone.
"Yeah, yeah I know. Alright, go…keep spreading."
"'Kay!" I sighed. I left the cabin with an eerie feeling that the promise will be broken, and so will one heart.
Shawn's POV
I laid in bed, staring at the top bunk. I seriously wanted to fight. As far as I've heard, Percy does too. Annabeth has been stopping him. Which made me think, would Tori do the same thing? Why are all romances ending in disaster?
I made up my mind and began packing. My sword, my shield, my armor, just the basics. I also packed some peanut butter (For Tyson, if I got the chance to see him in the war.). I zipped up my bag and waited till everyone was asleep. Then I realized I forgot one important thing.
I opened my drawer and pulled out a picture. One of Tori. Her hair was tied back in a ponytail and a sword was in her hand. Gods…I'm gonna miss her so much. Thinking about being apart from her, makes me not want to go. But I must do this. I stuffed the picture in my bag and walked out of my cabin in the dead of night. I tip toed past the Apollo cabin and up the hill.
I got to the top, and two unexpected visitors were stroking Peleus, our guard dragon. Tia and Tori.
"What… what are you guys doing here?" I asked nervously. Tia looked up and gave me a look that said, Don't do it… run you idiot!
But I held my ground. Tori looked up and frowned.
She saw my bags. "Going somewhere?" She asked suspiciously. Tia smacked her head in frustration. she was signaling not to say anything, waving her hands back and forth. Tori turned around and she stopped suddenly and started whistling innocently, or at least, trying. Tori turned back and Tia went back to her panic attack.
"Tori I can explain…" I started. Tori sighed.
"No need. Don't pretend to think that I don't know what's happening. You're leaving, to fight."
"So you understand, right?" I said nervously. Uh oh…
"No. I don't understand why you are fighting while you could help us stop the war. It's more logical."
"As far as I'm concerned, you are no daughter of Athena. I need to help my dad!" I argued. Tori looked away.
"And if you die?" She asked.
" Then I'll be regretting it in Hades."
She didn't answer. How do you reply to that?
We just stared at each other, until Tori finally said something.
"I don't want to lose you"
"Hey that's what I said!" Tia yelled at me. "I told you this wouldn't go well!"
Tori looked at Tia, with a look that said you're telling me about this later. and Tia nodded in agreement.
I remembered what Percy told me. Hestia told me one of the hardest things to learn is to yield. I had a feeling Tori was learning this lesson.
"You know I love you, that's why I have to let you go." She said as a tear ran down her cheek.
"I love you too. and if I don't make it, you will always be in my heart."(TT: Now Tori is fuming. HK: THANKS! For making us look so dramatic, when it isn't necessary! *Blushing like crazy*)
First Tia and I hugged, then me and Tori kissed. After that, I walked off into the darkness. I looked back, and saw Tori, sobbing. Tia looked at me. Smart. I thought you were a bit smarter than that! I immediately felt guilty. What had I done?
HK: Grrrrrrrrr….
TT: Sorry.
HK: GRRRRRRR…..
TT: I'm SORRY! and plus, you're mad about kissing your Boyfriend! That's kind of sad!
HK: I'm not mad about that, I'm mad that you POSTED IT ON THE INTERNET! I'd actually like that to happen (Hint hint! SHAWN IF YOU GOT THE HINT TEXT ME. If not text me anyways and I'll tell you, maybe…).
TV: HAHAHAHAHA! Ok so just review! Tell us if you liked it!
ALL: REVIEW OR DIE!
