Chapter 8: Leo
When I saw Amber coming, I immediatelly hid behind a tree. It was stupid but, I did it anyway. Amber. I can't find any word that describes how she looked, so I made one up. Gorbulastic. Gorgeous. Fabulous. Fantastic. It sorta sounds like an evil capuccino machine. She approached and kissed my cheek.
"guh... sup. ya... yook. batifuz?" I tried to say. She looked at me and I gulped. I didn't know what to do so I kissed her forehead like an idiot. She kept looking at me.
"Uhhhh... Okay?" She said. I swallowed.
"I mean... uh... You-you l-look be-beautiful. L-like a-a goddess." I said, blushing like an idiot. A love sick idiot.
"Just like when you first met me... You thought I was Hera. I am not a bi-" She started. Thunder out of no where. "Anyway, you look quite handsome aswell. Leo McShizzle Man Bad Boy Supreme Valdez." She joked.
"So you admit it?" I flirted. "I am McShizzley!" I said like a mad scientist creating life in, ah. Not in the usual way. Amber laughed.
"I admit it. My boyfriend is a total McShizzley Bad Boy." She said.
"And The Lady loves a bad boy?" I asked, kissing her forehead. She giggled, her midnight blue eyes twinkling in the soft light. She nodded and looked up at me. I cupped her face in my hands. "You look so beautiful."
"Lil' old me?' She asked, surprised. "Tomorrow is Christmas..." She said, trailing off. "Why do you guys have a celebration if Jesus Christ suposedley doesn't exist?"
"Ah, good question. We celebrate the fact that we know the truth that we are smarter than those stupid mortals." I liked being the smart one around the girl I liked.
"Hey, as far as I know, my mom and brother are mere mortals." She said. I laughed as we started strolling towards the beach.
"Your mom might be a demigod and you said you brother was your twin and I don't think she got pregnant from two men." It was Amer's turn to laugh.
"You are totally right. My McShizzle Man Bad Boy Supreme is totally right." She said and I winked, putting my arm around her small, delicate shoulders.
"Yes I am, yes I am..." I looked at her face. She seemed to be sad. "Hey, your brother is gonna turn up sooner or later." I tried.
"I know." She paused "Unless he got killed by a monster."
"I think your brother is capable of living untill his satyr finds him." I said
"You don't even know my brother he has the best sea green eyes and black... Oh gods, his black hair. Percy reminds me of him." She said. "It's not even that I'm worried that he's gonna die. It's... We would always sleep on the floor on Christmas Eve, waiting, tryng to catch Santa Even when we knew he was just a spirit. It still be a tradition. And we'd wake up to the smell of Hot Chocolate and freshly baked Sugar Cookies that my mom made. We'd each decorate five cookies each and eat. After, we'd open our presents on the floor. We'd... We'd always do a Christmas movie marathon. And we'd eat in front of the t.v."
I, naturally, thought that sounded fun. "How about we do that. With the rest of the seven and Will and Nico. It'll be our tradition." I had stopped, holding her hands in mine and looking into her twinkly eyes. She smiled at it.
"Of course. I already have a present for you." She said with a wink of her, now, sky-gray eyes.
We continued to walk towards the beach, where the party was being held. I looked at Piper and Jason sharing a dance. I saw Frank and Hazel hugging happily. I pointed them out to Amber and we got some coke. It was actual coke [we are not doing drugs]. Coke from the can. THE PRIMO COCA-COLA! It was a long time since I tasted real coca-cola from the can. It tasted amazing and... Blue? Of course, Percy. I saw Percy running aroung with a tool belt filled with the blue coke. His held two cans in each hand and he ran from Dionysus.
"DO IT FOR THE BLUE COKE, ANNABETH!" He yelled and I realized what was going on. Percy has his own part of the cabin that he and Amber shared [with sound-proof articions to seperate them for privacy]. With new sound-proof walls. They were engaged. Annabeth had an Invisibility Cap from Athena. It was none of my business, so I'll let you figure it out [A/N: I'll explain in the author's note at the end if u dont get it]. I could tell Amber was thinking the same thing because she was looking at her half-brother with shock. I looked at Amber and she looked at me. We started laughing. We went to look for Annabeth. We found her standing in shock by the pier with a crumbled Coke can in her hand. Amber whispered something in her ear amd Annabeth nodded slowly. Amber whispered something else. Annabeth shook her head -no- quickly and she shivered. We walked away.
"Percy asked her about-" Amber started and I cut her off.
"I know. You don't need to say it." I looked at Percy who was still running away from Mr. D and Chiron. "Your brother is high on Coke." Amber stood up staight.
"Alex takes drugs?" She asked. I looked at her. "Sorry, Alex is..."
"Your twin brother. No, I mean Percy." She looked at Percy, who was now being dragged to the Big House singing 'Last Friday Night'.
"Yup, He is high on Coke." Now Percy was singing 'Under the Sea'. I laughed. Amber laughed. We walked towards the dance floor and Amber's ever-changing eyes suddenley lit up. They were literally glowing orbs of gold, then great emeralds, and back to suns.
'Before it was seven, now thirteen,
three of the sea, the son with the fire,
wisdom's daughter, son of the healer,
son of roman war, the children of death,
daughter of greek war, child of the sky,
daughter of the thieving messenger,
and the loved pesuasive beauty.
The sky will grow to kill the mother,
hope is lost for she is gone in chains.
Sea's special daughter of sky and prophecy,
to hold the world save or punish under the hostile Sky.'
Amber collapsed into my arms. Everyone stared. A boy ran to my girlfriend's side, looking bewilderd and scared. He was about as tall as me, though I coud tell he was younger. Fifteen maybe? He had sea green eyes and pitch black hair. He looked at me for help.
"What just happened to my sister?" The boy asked me.
It couldn't be, I thought, that would mean... no.
"I guess she gave a prophecy." I said and Chiron came to my side and took Amber. He touched three fingers to her forhead and she woke with a gasp for air. She steadied herself and she stared at the boy. The boy stared back. Amber started crying. The boy started crying. Amber hugged the boy. The boy hugged Amber. I watched as they cried into each other's shoulder. Whispers from around the crowd about her cheating on me and shit like that. Then, out of no where, a gold tridnet appeared over the boy's head with the dove, owl and multi-colored aura that Amber also had. He did the glowing eyes thing and so did Amber. At the same time, they said five words:
"The blessed united as twin."
A/N: EXPLENATION! So I imagine a girl's side and a boy's side to every cabin with partitions to seperate for privacy and it's sound-proof for nightmares not waking anyone else up from screams throughout the camp and all that. Annabeth has an invisibility cap and can sneak into the Poseidon cabin at any time she wants. They are soon to get married. Percy wanted sex. I'm sorry I have an imaginative and mature mind. On that happy note: BYE!
