Hey guys! Did you like the plot twist? I definitely liked it. So anyways, here's the next chapter! Gods, 15 chapters? Wow. 72 reviews? Man, this is craziness. But in a good way! So anyways, I didn't plan this. But look how far I went! Sweet! Can't wait to do the Hunger Games. I've got half my mind to just skip to it, but I'm a nice girl. Well, ish... JK! Anyways, I wanted to say something, but I forgot. O.o I'm a Hopeless Case! D: Anyways, I didn't plan this chapter, but if I give away any cliffhanger, here's what I'll say.
Rick Riodan rubbed off on me.
I mean, have you SEEN the cliffhanger in MOA and HoH? AHHHH! And for some reason, I have an impulse that Annabeth is going to die in BoO. Gods, I had a dream about it, and it was HORRIFIC. Now I'm scared...
And Aprilicity...please don't hate me.
Leo's POV
"You know her? But...but that's not possible. President Snow was voted out at least a month ago. She didn't visit any Districts. It's like she's...sleeping. How could you have met her?" Lesty asks.
"Dreams. Nightmares. She's saying things that I don't even understand, but I always say no. Why is my life so complicated?"
"Speaking of complication, I've been thinking. Isn't Iris the Greek goddess of the Rainbow?"
"I thought she was a goddess in Egyptian Mythology..." I say, trailing off.
"No you Hopeless Case! That's Isis. I'm talking about Iris."
"Oh..." I trail off again, pretending that I understood that, even though I'm utterly confused.
"Yeah, so what if this is connected with Greek Mythology? I know enough Greek to know that Gaea means 'world'. To storm or fire the world must fall. I dunno what storm means, but what about you and your...fire powers meant fire? What if-"
"No. That's...that's not possible." I say, stumbling on my words.
"Leo, consider it. You were smoking back at the stables. You're the fire. You've got to be the fire"
"Lesty...I don't want it to be me." I say, my voice shaking.
"Leo, this is Fate. You can't change Fate."
"I know. It's just that...it's not fair."
"I know. C'mon, let's discuss this tomorrow, or maybe another time."
"Good call."
We both head towards our rooms, dreaming dreams. But for some reason, I have a feeling something terrible's going to happen to someone...
Celestine's POV
I walk into my room, and I crash onto my bed. Suddenly, I'm plunged into a memory. A nightmare.
I walk up to my sisters, Karmella and Madeline.
"Karma! When's Cinthie coming?" I ask her, my curiosity getting the better over me.
"Celeste, be patient. Cynthia's going to come soon. You know she misses you. She'll come." Karma says patiently.
"Hey, you wanna play rock-paper-scissors?" Madz said playfully. I nod excitedly, and we get into a ferocious game. At some point in time, we got into an argument about a guy named Erik who I claimed to think he was evil. Which he was, of course. I can't remember how we started to argue, but soon we're fighting.
"Madz, I KNOW he's evil. Remember last week?"
"Celeste, that was an accident."
"NO IT WASN'T! He really DID try to kill me, I swear!"
"Celeste, stop being ridiculous. He slipped and you fell onto the sidewalk. You didn't die."
"No, you don't understand! He turned into-"
"Celestine, stop it."
"Madz! I'm not lying! He went insane! If you'd just-"
"This conversation is OVER."
I had it. I hated when people don't listen to me. My anger getting the better of me, I blindly run onto the road. I hear Karma and Madz yelling for me to come back, but I pay no attention. I only notice the car heading straight towards me when it honks, but it's too late. But before impact someone pushes me, but didn't make it. The car keeps going, but I don't pay attention to that. I'm only paying attention to the dying body of my sister Madz. We rush towards her, both of us crying. At that moment, Cynthia heads towards us, smiling. But when she sees Madz, she drops everything. She runs to our small death circle, tears running down her face. Madz smiles, and says one last thing.
"I can see the stars again."
She closed her eyes, and we all knew she passed away. In one second, I could've been dead. But also in one second, I lost the closest family member. In just one second.
No...
Her death was all your fault Celestine...
No it wasn't...
Because of you...
No, stop it...
All your fault...
Stop it, STOP!
Your fault...
NO!
In just one thought, you left. In one second, you lost her. One thought...one second...
I wake up from my own screaming. I look around, gasping for air. I feel horrible, guilty. And to make it worse, I know my sister Karma is here. An Avox.
I was nearly crying writing this. I think the rest of the story may be depressing, but I can't recall a nice moment in The Hunger Games. Anyways, Aprilicity, I hope you got that express ticket to Leo World. I'll try to update ASAP, but no promises.
Yours in demigodishness and all that. Peace out.
Awesome as Annabeth.
