Honestly, I've been so addicted to Kodocha that I've just barely started typing this today (5/12/12). Well, you guys can blame my friend for that and I will stop delaying you, so read on!


Chapter 40

Lisa's POV

I was biting my lip and pacing back and forth. God, this was so bad! I could do that, but that would probably get him killed, but is there some other way? God, why didn't he just listen! The idiot! I sighed. I went to go find whoever I could possibly know with a teen that currently had a baby's brain.

"LEAF! MARINA! MAY! PEOPLE! DOGS! SCERMA! KIA!" The last part was actually just something random. I'm not even sure if those were words, oh, well. That's when it hit me. They were probably still in the mess hall or whatever. I ran quickly back. I really hate running! Stupid running! Why does it have to exist?

The whole time Simon was giving me a puzzled look. Of course that was to be expected since he had a baby's brain. "LEAF! MARINA! UGH, someone just show the FREAK up!" I screamed.

When I saw light blue hair and long straight brown hair I almost attacked them. I screamed at the top of my lungs, "YOU GUYS WE HAVE AN EMERGENCY!"

I guess I might've been louder than I thought because they gave me strange looks and I was catching quite the bit of attention. Leaf and Marina gave me questionable looks, but they came over anyway.

"Um, what is it?" Leaf asked.

"Well, Simon kind of lost his memory." I said nervously biting my lip.

"He sort of lost his memory? What do you mean by that?" Marina carefully examined Simon, which really wasn't necessary since his brain was poo and his physical appearance wasn't really affected. He did have a passive expression, though. After a bit Marina sighed.

"Yep, I have no idea who this is." Marina shrugged.

"Okay, well, he lost his memory for being stupid, sorry. He hasn't talked this whole time, so I'm guessing he really doesn't know anything." As if being on cue Simon started crying, like a, well, baby.

"Lisa, that is so your problem." Leaf scooted me closer to the crying boy. I rubbed the back of my head. I gave him a pat on the head and that seemed to quiet him down for the moment.

"There we go! Problem fixed. Okay, so does anyone know how to break a curse that involves permanent amnesia?" I asked casually.

"Um, not really." Marina and Leaf shook their heads. I sighed. Didn't think so.

"Okay, but maybe it'll help if I tell you about this little curse. The first kiss causes permanent amnesia, the second kiss summons dear ol' Artemis, and the third kiss brings the memories back. You know, now that I think about it I don't really think it's likely for the third one. Artemis pretty much despises all boys except for Apollo. He is her twin after all. I haven't really cared about this curse since I've never crushed on someone, so it was never a problem until now. I don't even like the boy." I rolled my eyes.

"So you mean he kissed you?" Leaf contemplated for a moment, but then smirked.

"I just knew he liked you!" She squealed while I gave her a questionable look. Marina gave a fake cough to interrupt her squealing.

Leaf regained her composure before saying, "Heh, sorry. I got a little excited, so is there any other way to get back that goofball's memories?" Leaf pointed her thumb towards Simon, who I could rename Ballswick if I wanted to. I pondered over the question, but I couldn't come up with anything else. Well, I guess we could always just ask the Fates, who shared one eyeball…

I shuddered. Maybe, Simon could just stay brainless. I almost smacked myself. That wasn't the solution at all! Finally I suggested, "We could ask the Fates."

"You mean those three ladies named Clotho, Lachesis, and Atropos?" Leaf asked immediately.

"I don't really know what their names were, but sure?" I said it in more of a question than an answer. I seriously didn't pay much attention to these creeps, but they did control the lives of people, including mine. I might be Artemis's daughter, but when I joined the huntresses she for some reason couldn't make me immortal. When I turn 20 I'll no longer be part of her little group because I've aged too much.

"Okay, so do you know where they are?" Leaf asked.

"No clue, so I guess that's not going to happen. Well, I could always kiss him again, but I'm pretty sure that Artemis will just kill him before I could give the third, so I guess he's going to have poo brain until we figure it out." I decided.

"Hmm, well, okay, but right after the tasks we're getting back his memory and keeping May." She said stubbornly.

"If you must know I can't force May to join. She has to go willingly." I explained.

"Oh, that's a relief." Leaf sighed. Marina had been silent for a while now, but she finally said,

"You're here to take May away." Normally, I would've laughed because she rhymed, but I'm pretty sure this wasn't the time to crack up.

"Sort of. I came here to see if May would join the huntresses, but I'm not sure why." I shrugged. I hadn't really given it much thought considering I've been stalked by some kid who lost his memory because of me.

"But May will never want to join. She's too sweet to just leave her friends in the dust." Leaf said.

"I guess not, but everyone we've tried to recruit so far has said yes." I said.


May's POV

I woke up sneezing like crazy! Had someone been talking about me? I shrugged and went to change. It was already the afternoon! We needed to hurry or else I'll never finish those tasks! A devastating two months had passed! Apparently the time goes by pretty quick in the Underworld! I swear it only felt like two days at most!

I went to go shower and change, but the bathroom was locked. I started jiggling it then knocking on it.

"Stop that would you! Don't you know I need to concentrate on putting on makeup?" I venomous voice screeched back.

"Oh, uh, I'm sorry, but I need to use the bathroom real quick, 'kay?" I asked hopefully, but I could feel my anger rising in me already.

"Why don't you use the boys' bathroom? I bet the guys will get a real kick out of that!" The venomous voice yelled back once again. That's it! My anger got the better of me and I kind of kicked the door open.

"Hey! You almost made me smear my lip gloss! I'm almost at the hundredth layer! Do you know what would've happened if I had to start over? By the way who are you and who bought that ridiculous shirt? A Psyduck?" She snorted. I got a look at her. Sure she was pretty beyond all reason, but I really wanted to strangle the layers of makeup right off of her! I then took a look at my PJ's. A white shirt with a Torchic and red shorts. Was it really a crime to wear pajamas that my mother bought me?

"I swear you're almost as annoying as Drew, but I'm going to let it slide because I really want some food right now." I ran into the shower and lather, rinsed, and repeated before I got dressed in my red shirt, black shorts, and white skirt that I typically wore.

I heard stomping half way through my shower, but ignored it. When I put my clothes on I realized they were kind of dirty (rips and mud included) and had to take them off. I changed into a white tank top with a red jacket that ironically had black ink making a rose design. I put on black jeans with my favorite red bandana and rushed out for some food.

Before I could even get there, I found Leaf, Marina, and Lisa. Why's Lisa here? I'm so confused. Did she come here while I was sleeping, but isn't this a demigod camp? Does that mean she's a demigod? Oh, well one way to find out. I marched straight up to them and said,

"Hi, guys!"

"Hey, May. Did you finally wake up?" Leaf asked.

"Yep! I dreamt of pancakes." I lied. I actually dreamt of not completing the tasks on time and everyone turned to stone. I was just sitting there doing nothing. I woke up in the middle of the night and I saw someone crawl into a bed, but I thought it was my imagination and went to sleeping. That time I dreamt of something odd. A key. A really small rusted key with an old chain looped through it. I was wearing it and then my dream ended.

"Oh, that's good." Leaf gave me a worried look. Looks like my lie failed.

"Why's Lisa here?" I changed the subject. My dream was still a mystery to me and I didn't want to talk about it yet, especially the last one. That one made no sense.

"Oh, she's a demigod." She said bluntly, but I felt she wasn't telling me something. Weird.

"Okay, want to get some food? I'm really hungry!" I suggested.

"Um, I already ate, but we'll go with you, right girls?" Leaf replied.

"Sure." Lisa agreed.

"Okay." Marina said.

"Yay, c'mon! I want food!" I took them by their wrists and dragged them to the scent of food. It was empty. I guess I slept passed breakfast too. Well, except for Ash…

"Ash! There's no way you're going to beat me this time!" I yelled across the room. I started stacking food on my tray like there was no tomorrow. I carefully made my way to Ash and started eating. I guess I didn't need Leaf, Marina, and Lisa for eating after all.

Well, after I finished eating-They actually ran out of food and kicked Ash and I out-I dragged Ash, Lisa, Leaf, and Marina out with me to visit Dawn. I then remembered that Paul was there too. You know he actually kind of creeps me out. I hope Dawn never finds that out. She would kill me just trying to get me to actually think he was a decent boyfriend for her.

We went to the tent, but apparently the doctors say her injuries were strange and had to be examined. I also may have lost my temper a little by yelling at them to tell me where she was, but apparently they wouldn't let me see her. They also told me they had to make a purple haired kid get out.

Marina, Leaf, and Lisa left after that and Ash said he had to find Misty and ask her to swim or something. I was deserted. I was surprised when a face popped right in front of me though. I almost screamed. I actually did scream…

"Ah, who are you and why in the world did you scare me?" I had jumped from where I was standing to a few feet away.

"Oh, I'm sorry. You just looked lonely and I thought you could use the company." She apologized.

"It's okay. By the way my name's May. You?" I greeted.

"I'm Felicity, but my friends call me Fliss." She greeted back. I finally noticed her appearance. She had a lot of scratches and bruises across her face. She had soft gray eyes, mid-length brown hair that was cut straight on the bottom; she had a black shirt, a white jacket, and a pair of white jeans.

"What happened to your face?" I blurted out. Her gray eyes widened, but relaxed almost as fast it was shown.

"You don't know? Figures, you must be new. No wonder you're actually talking to me." She grumbled and kicked some dirt lying close to her mud-stained black boots.

"What do you mean? Why wouldn't I talk to you?" She seemed so nice, though.

"I'm an outcast, you see? Apparently, if your dad betrays a god, his children are shunned as well." She frowned.

"What'd he do?" I asked immediately. If I had longer, straighter hair and a perverted boyfriend then I'd be Leaf right now.

"He got a god addicted to demon drugs." She said bitterly. I felt kind of awkward, but I finally noticed her neck, the same rusty key I'd seen in my dream.


Well, I could apologize like I usually do, but this is probably going to happen more often since I always start panicking about not finishing my story because typing in the morning and afternoon is painful, so nighttime is my typing time. It gives me inspiration, so REVIEW!
