Hey! Third Chapter and let me say that this had definately took awhile. Hope you enjoy and sorry if the first few chapters are more of Drabbles. They will get better cause I know how much I HATE drabbles.
DISCLAIMER* I do not own the Percy Jackson Series. I only own my own characters.
HOPE YOU ENJOY!
It never fully rained where I lived which sucked. It was more a mist that covered everything at the most inappropriate times. Like Demetri and Ben ALWAYS trained when there was mist around. I never ever got how they saw anything! Anyway I never liked the wimpy mix between mist and rain. However as of late the mist was starting to turn more into rain. That bugged me more than the mist cause let's face it, I hate getting wet! Ben on the other hand…
"WEEEEE!" Ben screamed in happiness as he jumped into giant rain puddles. It was Saturday so Ben had all day to frolick in the noreaster rain. Even though he was soaked head to toe only wearing a hoodie as a jacket his green eyes shined. I on the other hand was stuck holding two umbrellas standing next Demetri who was smiling. Ben and Demetri had always held some weird connection that I had never had with them. I am pretty good at reading people. Even though I was the most oblivious person I knew I still could tell things about people. Like, how ever since Grover had gotten here two weeks ago everyone has been on edge. Even Demetri and Slugger who never showed concern over anything. Or how I had felt eyes following me everywhere I went. I usually brushed this kinda stuff off but it was starting to freak me out.
"Funny storm?" Demetri asked stirring me out of my thoughts. I nodded in agreement as Ben attempted to swim down a thin river of rain. I looked to the forming clouds storm clouds and sighed. "Funny eh?"
Suddenly in the middle of Demetri and my silient conversation a violent strip of thunder hit a near by tree setting it on fire. I jumped at the noise and the other two tensed. "WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT!?!" I asked in shock. Demetri's smile faltered for a second before smiling again. "Just some stray thunder is all." He said. Ben got up and shook himself out to dry though it didn't do much in the rain. "Yeah" I mumbled to myself in agreement and then the three of us trudged home in the rain. I could hear the violent thunder crack in the distance but it never came close to us again.
"SLUGGER!" Ben yelled (1) into the big house that belonged to the three of us. It was a modern house with white walls, and artwork pertaining to the sea. On the first floor was a living room, a kitchen, a dining room, and there was a basement. On the second floor there were 5 rooms. Mine, Sluggers, Bens, a guest and a game room/study. We had dropped Demetri off at his apartment down the street so he could change out of his wet clothes and we headed home to change also. My room had Gold and Silver walls full of drawings I had done of events from Greek Mythology. That was the reason Mr. Brunner and I got along so well. We shared on single thing in common and that was our love for Greek Mythology. Ben tried to discourage my love for it saying it was stupid and a waste of my time but I knew deep down he loved it almost as much as I did. I changed out of my wet clothes and threw on some new ones almost knocking over the mountain of books all over my room.
When I walked down the stairs Ben and Demetri were playing video games down in the basement. How did I know you ask? Well as I trudged down the stairs I heard Ben screaming, "You damn cheater!". I smiled at the vision of Demetri smiling smugly and Ben threatening to call the cops on him for cheating. As I walked into the living room and was about to go into the kitchen for snacks I realized I heard that the T.V. was on. 'I thought Ben had just left it on I went to turn it off.'
"Excuse me sir. I was watching that." Said a young smooth voice. "Eeep!" I turned around with a squeak and saw a albino boy(2) sitting on my couch eating Timbits (3). He was frowning and had a name tag that said Tristan with a little man sleeping under it. "Who are you?" I asked. He popped a timbit into his mouth. "The question is who are you dear boy?" He asked. Ignoring him I read his name tag. "Tristan?" He gave me the same bored expression. "Your not Tristan. I am Tristan. The question is who are you Tobias Swain?" He asked with the same weird dead panned expression. "But you just said my…" I trailed off in confusion and he shushed me. I turned around and looked at what had ensnared our confusing guests interest. It was the trailer for the Percy Jackson movie that had just come out. "Anyway…" I started to say before looking back and realizing that our guest wasn't there anymore. I had to process what had happened for awhile before deciding that I haven't been getting enough sleep and was imagining everthing. Though it is hard to convince yourself that you're imagining an albino boy eating timbits that quotes Alice in Wonderland had just had a very confusing conversation with you and then disappeared when said boy had left his box of timbits on the table (4). With a sigh I trudged downstairs thinking how weird my life really was.
"Damn you Dem!" Ben screamed at a smirking Demetri while jumping up and down like a three year-old. With a sigh I walked into the basement with a tray full of snacks. Ben and Demetri had started another round of Super Smash Brothers, however Ben paused the game instantly when he saw the snacks. "Thanks Toby!" He exclaimed happily while chomping on a large cookie. "You make a good wife!" He exclaimed jokingly. Something inside me , I swear , bubbled and I smiled at him. My friends later described it as the "I love bunnies and rainbows! Now go blow up a building and kill some people!" smile.
"If I'm the wife you're definitely the three year-old child of the family" I said. Then things became tense and for a change Demetri ended the awkward silence with a low deep laugh. My laughter soon followed and after Ben had finally gotten over the shock he started giggling like the crazy guy he was. Our laughter had rung throughout the halls of the big white house on the rainy day. Not even Sluggers shouts of "BE QUIET YOU RECKLESS RUFIENS!" affected us. I wish those times had never ended.
