It was the dress!
XOXOXO
Aphrodite had helped me put it on because it was a little tight, but that wasn't gonna ruin my evening. When I stepped out, my hands turned ice cold, my knees felt like jelly, I felt like I was gonna faint. Everyone was dancing to some old weird song that was made centuries before I was born. I pulled my dress up a bit so I could walk without tripping.
Where is he? I thought, I was starting to get worried. I ran and apologized to the people who I had tapped on the shoulder to see if I knew them. I walked around when I bumped into someone.
"Sorry!" I jumped back. I took in the man's appearance; he wore a black suit, and had ink black hair, and eyes like black holes. I gasped and tumbled back realizing who it was.
"Care for a dance?" he asked in soft, velvet like voice I heard in my head.
"Care for a dance?" he asked me in soft, velvet like voice.
Now I'm gonna act like a total moron and just say, "Sure."
"Sure" I whispered like I predicted. Now that this wasn't a dream, I could tell what was going; I could tell that they were playing, By Your Side, by Sade. (It really is a nice Ballroom song) I realized he was wearing white gloves. By the touch of them I could tell that it was made out of silk. It felt nice and cool against my fair skin.
I listened to the song quietly:
Oh, when you're cold
I'll be there to hold you tight to me
I laid my head on his shoulder. At first the man stiffened but immediately softened up.
"You're beautiful" he whispered in my ear.
His voice sent shivers and fear down my spine, but it was a pleasant feeling. I felt like dancing and singing with a 100 watt smile on my face.The man of my dream was making me forget everything: my friends, camp, my family, even Earth itself. Odd. I felt like I was walking on air. I sighed and closed my eyes, and let the full weight of my head on his shoulders. He blew hot air into my ear and I shivered delicately. As soon as the soft melody stopped he had pushed me back gently, kissed my hand and just left me in the swarm of people till he disappeared in darkness. I will find you darling, I'll bring you home,That piece from the song still rang in my head, and I felt a feel of determination.His soft voice rang in my head like a church bell. The words he said, "You're beautiful" was the only complement I loved hearing. The others just made me blush.
XOXOXO
The rest of the night I had danced with almost every god. I had laughed, but he was stuck on my mind. I bit my lip when I spotted Zeus and Poseidon talking to each other. I took the chance and walked up to them.
"What's the deal?" I demanded, not caring who I was talking to.
"Pardon?" Poseidon asked.
"The deal," I took a deep breath and went straight to the question. "How are both of you my parents?"
"Let's find a place where there aren't many people." Zeus started walking out of the room. Poseidon and I followed not far behind. When we were outside in Olympus's Garden, Zeus turned towards me and took a deep breath.
"Ivy Cornelia, you are not our child" Zeus said
"Wait . . . What?" I felt stupid.
"We are not your parents. We are your creators" Poseidon explained, but I bet I looked as clueless as Percy would be with, Moby Dick.
"Ivy, you are not a Demi-god. You are a creation or two of the Big Three. Poseidon, and I needed someone perfect, someone daring, loyal, smart, athletic for special quests. So the simplest solution was to create you." Zeus explained.
"Oh." Was all I could say at the moment. It was quiet for a while, when, suddenly a shrill scream broke the silence like a baseball breaking a window. The gods and I rushed back
into the ballroom, and saw a devastated, crying, and angry looking goddess.
"Where is it!" she shrieked at the silent crowd.
So was it good? I know the chapter was a lil too short but I tried. R&R and wait till tomorrow for the next chapter. Bye.
