Chapter 10:
Nico POV-
This had really been a heck of a night, music battles between me and my Leah. Well, I guess, I should go kiss Leah cause I think we both came to an agreement of need of each other after I finished singing with my excellent skills, cause, you know, I am THE amazing Nico himself! And then, of course, Percy proposing to Annabeth, FINALLY! I mean, it took him long enough! Well, back to the situation at hand...
The horn had been blown! Yippee! War when we could have figured out our lives! I wasn't surprised to hear the "Really?"'s since we were all finally having fun! Well, ya gotta do what ya gotta do! We all lined up along the camp's borders, to our surprise, only a small part of the border was confronted with monsters and bloodsuckers. We all lined up in rows of warriors ready to fight there while the wolves did a quick perimeter to make sure we weren't surrounded or that there weren't any surprise attacks set up anywhere.
"Demigods! Organize by your cabins, follow your leaders' orders!" Chiron yelled out.
"Preparing, eh?" a short girl smirked from the enemy side. The vamp looked about 10 years old...
"Bella! Now!" Edward snarled.
"Okay, I got this!" Bella growled. Then, she looked like she was struggling against some invisible bonds or something, but Edward's face was switching with concern, then relief, then concern, and then finally stayed at relief. That meant, we were slightly well blocked, good.
"Ah, well, I see that we are ready for a fight!" a dark haired, buff male snarled with pleasure.
"Felix!" the Cullens snarled back. Then, they tried to get into camp, but failed epically (is that how you spell it?). The vamps kept snarling and growling, but they just weren't allowed in. Finally, Peleus seemed to get tired of their games so snarled and hurled them VERY far away. They bellowed and complained.
"Ugh! Didn't he know about the borders? Stupid guy! I seriously don't know why Aro would work with the Titan, or whatever he is!" some vampire complained. They all just ran off, vampires running too fast with the monsters trying to catch up.
At this, we all cheered for Peleus, who happily ate the food that was being thrown at him. Boy, has he grown! I still remember the little dragon that we had so many years ago...
In the meantime, people were happily enjoying the rest of the night while some responsible people tried to get everybody to get work done for the almost attack. Finally, Chiron decided we all just needed the night to relax and catch up with life's curve-balls. I hurried to find Leah.
Of course, some random guys were surrounding her...
Leah POV-
After the dramatic, yes dramatic, oh-look-at-us-make-fools-of-ourselves session with the Volturi and the monsters, I was ready to go punch a wall. Never mind, I want to go figure out my life with Nico. I may act like I don't care, but he is my imprint! Imprint: somebody for whom you will be anything and do anything for. So it was my natural instinct to do whatever he wanted me to. BUT, I was the only girl shifter, and so the imprint stuff might be different. Well, here comes Sam, whoop di do!
"Leah?" Sam asked. I glared at him so he awkwardly stopped his almost hug. "How are you holding up?"
"Like you give a shit!" I snarled. "Cut to the chase!"
"Lee lee, I didn't know it hurt you so much! The song reminded me of soooo much in the past! The 'us' that there was!" he said.
"Oh, you didn't give me second glance before going to make out with that bitch after I broke!" I snapped.
"Leah! You don't mean that!" Emily said, shocked. Yeah right! I thought, rolling my eyes.
"Uh, yeah I do! You never tried to make me feel better bitch! You put it all in my face like I was a joke! YOU, my bitch, made everybody hate me! YOU are the reason my life was and kind of still is miserable!" I screamed. I was DONE with dealing with people deciding what I would be like, and what happened.
"THIS is why I was mad at you, you were so self centered!" she snapped.
"Oh, I'M self centered? I was the one who ran off telling the world that I was a hateful bitch who was jealous of her rightful boyfriend getting stolen by her bitch of a cousin?" I asked. "Thanks to you, NOBODY gave a shit about me. NOBODY. I was completely broken and the only reason I wasn't dead by then was because I had shifted and suicide doesn't come easy with that!"
"Ugh, how does anybody stand you? You are just pathetic!" she cried. Several people gasped.
"Do you think I wanted to live life with everybody looking at me, then muttering, 'Huh, cold hearted, hateful, cousin of Emily! She should feel happy for them!'?" I was crying openly now.
"Leah, I'm so sorry I never realized how serious this was." Seth cried, giving me a hug. Then, I realized that the entire camp was watching. My half-siblings were crying while Mia rolled her eyes. The rest were either shocked, appalled, or curious. Then, I thought they deserved the truth. Edward's eyes flashed down at me and nodded slightly. I took a breath and started.
"Lee lee," Sam started.
"SHUT UP YOU BASTRARD!" I screamed, tears flowing down. "Don't you dare ever call me that again!"
"Listen to me! I loved you! I still love you!" he said, grabbing my shoulders and shook me in attempts of making me understand. He softly said, "I could never hate you!"
"Don't try confusing me, you selfish asshole! I hate you and your bitch of a wife!" I yelled. Jacob came from behind me.
"It's alright hon. It's gonna be okay!" he said hugging me. I cried on his shoulder. Then I remembered, the truth.
"A few years ago, I used to date this bastard, back when he was nice and sweet. He was so caring and just made my heart melt. We loved each other, or I at least thought we did. One day, he disappeared and was gone for a few weeks." I said to the camp, "I was devastated. When he came back, we were all so relieved. But, I was his girlfriend, I knew something was wrong. He had phased for the first time and I never knew that. So kept asking him what happened but he never told me anything, so I thought I was doing something wrong. Sue thought it would be good to have Emily come over to 'comfort' me. All the bitch did was make me feel miserable, and she told me that there actually was something wrong with me. That's how it always was. She looked like an angel to the rest but me, and I was called a bitch for seeing her. She made me feel crappy. Then, she was at my house when Sam came over and BAM! True love! Leave the girl who needed someone to help her to fend off on her own and call her a cold hearted bitch!" I was weeping. "Then, I was humiliated and looked down on ALL the fucking time! And when I thought it couldn't get any worse, this supernatural crap come to me took my dad away, the one person who listened to me. So, my mother, who never liked me to begin with, made sure of making life hell. The only thing that kept me from dying was Seth, the kid brother who always looked at me with the scared little eyes saying 'Leah, what do we do?'. I knew I couldn't leave him alone to fend off the hateful world! But that becomes a bit difficult when you are constantly sharing thoughts with a bunch of teen boys who hate you. And of course, your leader whom you MUST listen to is your bastard of an ex boyfriend! Don't forget how Emily made sure my life was hell in every given moment."
"Ugh, I can't stand this!" Emily whined. "Sam, can we go? I'm so tired of this." Then, Annabeth slapped Emily across the cheek.
"You deserve to die in Tartarus, you bitch!" she hollered. "NOBODY gets away with messing with my best friend!"
I smiled. "Thanks." I muttered. She hugged me.
"Leah..." Sam said softly, of course after he made sure Emily was okay. I tried to give me a hug but I punched his face first.
"Stay away from me! You have done enough damage already, so just GO!" I shoved him. He walked away, feeling dejected. I realized, again, that the camp was staring at me. Half of them were also crying. "At least he didn't try to rape me again." I muttered.
"WHAT!" Nico, Jacob, Seth, Emily, Drake, and Annabeth gasped.
"What did you just say?" Drake asked, taking my hand.
"Nothing. He just always took advantage of me, even after we both shifted. He just made sure I never thought about it around the pack, or anybody else." I murmured. I had never admitted this to anybody. I never really thought too much of it. He was bastard, but I already knew that, right?
"Leah, that is enough!" Sam snarled. "Stop this nonsense right now!"
"I don't belong to your pack anymore! Don't tell me what to do! So cut the crap and go to hell!" I snarled back. He slapped me. I turned to look at his face, shock covering both our faces.
"I'm so sorry!" he said, true guilt on his face. But it was too late. I turned around and tried to run. But, he caught up with me, and kissed me. He pulled away and looked at me with adoration. "Sorry." he said, I slapped him.
"SAM! Why did you just kiss her?" Emily whined. Pathetic girl.
"Shut up Emily." Paul said. He added, "Sorry Leah." He said so little but we both knew it meant a LOT. He was always one of less words, more meaning.
"Don't you tell me to shut up! No more muffins for you!" Emily said. Just then, I snapped. I could not put up with her shit anymore. I went up to her, slapped her, shoved her into Sam, and shoved the both of them away.
"Did she really just-" Emily started.
"Shut up, dear." Sam said, "Just be quiet and walk to our tent."
Everybody awkwardly dispersed after that. Nico was coming towards me, as if to say something but then Mia grabbed him and pulled him away. I sighed. Drake looked at me, his beautiful eyes that seemed to be always changing color, and gently hugged me.
"You feeling somewhat okay?" he softly asked. I just nodded. I needed a swim.
"Percy? Where is the lake? I think I need a swim." I asked Percy.
"It's, um, over there. Here, I'll show you the way." he replied. Percy, Annabeth, and Drake walked me to the lake. I took a mental note of how to get there, then realized I forgot my swim suit.
"Thanks, I forgot my swimsuit so I'll just find my way back, okay?" I said. Drake put an arm around my shoulder and walked me back through the woods, back to my cabin.
Mia POV (AN: I know, more bitchy cat-fights coming up, eh? As if poor Leah hasn't had enough for tonight... Well, Mia lurrrrrrrrrves such crappy timings! Btw, I got the "lurrrrrrrrrve" thing from NewYorkDevil who got it from sammy4ever's old formspring... Anyways... Back to Mia)-
After the pathetic hear-my-heartbreaking-story session with Leah, I knew just how to pull the last string. Damn this karaoke night! It made me have to start over! They still kind of loved each other again! Well, this daughter of Aphrodite has PLENTY up her sleeves.
"Nico, come on!" I whined, pulling him along to my cabin, yes MY cabin, before he could talk to Leah. I swear, they were having a pathetic movie moment with the two idiots looking at each other with hopeless love in their eyes, Pah-leez! With this bitch around, it ain't gonna happen!
"Will you stop it Mia!" Nico yelled. I looked at him with fake shock and hurt all over my face.
"You, you want me to go, Nico! Is that what it is?" I asked, charm speaking to the fullest. I saw his eyes daze.
"I'm sorry! Where is it you wanted to go?" he asked. I smiled, much better!
"We are going back to my cabin!" I said.
"Alright, let's go!" he said. I found Drew waiting for me to get her attention. She was a good minion. I smiled deviously at her, letting her know she will be useful pretty soon. She smirked right back. By that time, we reached the cabin. I sat down where we sat before, perfect for a hurt Leah to see.
"You are really cute, you know?" I told him, looking at him really seductively. He gulped.
"Mia, look, um I can't-" he started but I silenced him with a kiss. He made a face and stayed absolutely still.
"Less talk, more love, okay?" I said, smirking.
"I don't like you!" he said, frustrated.
"But I like you!" I said, "What is wrong with me?"
"There's nothing wrong with you!" he said, obviously trying not to make me feel bad. Huh, I act like a sensitive chick but as a bitch, I have to be hard at heart! My life before I got here taught me that.
"Then what's wrong?" I said. I gave him a minute before I started the whole how-could-you-leave-me-as-a-third-wheel speech. "It's her isn't it?"
"Well," he started, "Yeah. That's why." He decided to be honest.
"Well, why do even like her? Especially with that whole pathetic cheating-on-each-other past? And she is still not even with you! She is with the people who she claims to not have feelings for, and she is also with Drake!" I said, feeding him my poisonous thoughts through charm spoken words.
"That's true. But I can't just assume this! I haven't even gotten a chance to talk to her yet!" he cried.
"Maybe you haven't talked to her since you aren't meant to be together! The Fates know what must happen and they make sure that it does happen!" I said through clenched teeth. Gods, he is stubborn! And I'm running out of time! Ugh, time to switch the plan so it all still goes perfectly! I gave Drew the get-ready-to-switch-to-plan-B look. She nodded quickly and began setting up a the romantic date table.
"Somehow, I highly doubt that..." he muttered.
"Okay, fine! I will stop trying to get you! But, I think it would be fabulous for me to help you out so you can be even sexier and hotter and cuter than ever for Leah!" I said, pretending to be his love advisor, which I totally could be. But, this time, I have my own agenda. That Leah Bitchwater can't just waltz in, completely overrule my position in camp, grab the attention of all hotties in the camp, and get away with it!
"You would do that for me! Thanks so much!" Nico said, happily agreeing.
"So the girls and guys here have set up our romantic date table, where we will prete4nd to be on a date, okay?" I said. Without waiting for his response I said, "So you have to act like I am Leah and I will give you tips and other feedback along the way, okay?"
"Alright... Did your mom tell you to do this?" he asked. In my dreams (;))!
"No, I'm just cool like that!" I replied.
"Like mother, like daughter." he muttered. "So, Leah... Um, you wanna have dinner now?"
"NO! You can't be so uncertain! You are the man of this date! Be firm and confident! No awkwardness or uncertainty allowed!" I instructed. Drew yelped. I turned to ask her what the Hades her problem was when she gave me the two minutes left sign. Ah, shit! I have to hurry.
"So, should I start over!" he asked.
"NO!" I quickly said, "You won't get another chance in real life anyways..."
"Um..." he said, kind of surprised. Okay, the now or never moment has arrived.
"But even if you mess up, always fix it by saying, 'I love you!' and then kiss passionately, okay! Practice that!" I ordered.
"Do I have to?" he asked
"YES! You have to be a good kisser! I will train you!" I said, taking his hand and pulling him really close. "Start the kiss, now!" He leaned in and kissed me. I kissed right back, and put one arm around my waist, and the other one as if it were caressing my face. Just in time too! Cause I saw Leah walk in, with the same priceless chock and hurt plastered on her face.
Nico POV-
After all the craziness died down, Mia took me to her cabin. I really needed to talk to Leah, cause our relationship was seriously messed up! But at the same time, Mia had a point, Leah was busy and I needed to work on my romantic skills! I was happy to get Mia's help for that, although I had a feeling something was wrong... Just then Leah walked in. YES! I will get to talk to her! Wait, NO! I'm kissing Mia again! But it isn't supposed to be real is it?
"Really?" Leah asked me.
"What can I say, bitch? I win! He clearly loves me!" Mia snapped at her. I KNEW IT! SHE"S A BITCH! Leah ignored Mia and turned to me.
"How could you do this? Even after you found out that I have probably been hurt enough to last over a lifetime! I guess we know what happens next. But before I go for my swim, I have to ask you something." she said, not at all giving me a chance to speak.
"Look, I want to talk all this out, okay? But yeah, what do you want?" I asked.
"You are my imprint and nothing is going to change that!" My heart pounded as she spoke. I knew we MUST belong together. "As your imprinter, it is my first instinct to do what you need. YOU are my top priority. Since you didn't seem to need me, and I was making your life difficult, I left and gave you some time and space. So, as much as it kills me to say this, I will stay out of your way from now, if that's what you want."
"NO! How could I EVER want to stay away from you?" I said, shocked.
"Well, you gave off pretty strong vibes about that before..." she said, hurt.
"I'm sorry! I, I was just confused and was being pushed into so much and I wasn't thinking at all and the situation went crazy without me even knowing what was going on!" I tried to explain. Then I remembered, her swim! "You said you were going for a swim, right?" She nodded. "Mind if I join you?" She smiled.
"I'll see you at the lake then?" she said, a small smile on her face.
"Most definitely!" I said.
"Hey! What about me?" Mia said. Leah's face went from happy to VERY pissed. Hahaha, this should be funny. In response, Leah slapped the girl and stormed off. I smiled, that's my Leah!
Leah POV-
I found Nico, once again, making out with Mia. Though I'm pretty sure that bitch set this up... Well, at least we kind of talked and decided to meet up at the lake. Ah, Nico! After my epic bitch slap to Mia, I went off to find a swimsuit. Realizing, I don't bring swimsuits on such trips, I decided to borrow one. I went up to an innocent looking girl, who seemed to hate Mia and Drew as much as I do.
"Hey, do you have a swimsuit I can borrow?" I asked. She looked scared, turned to see Mia crying with rage and Drew pathetically comforting her and smiled at me.
"No problem." she replied. "I'm Janet, by the way." I returned the smile.
"You know, the rest of us are thinking, you should go for cabin leader, cause you would be a LOT better of one than Mia or Drew!" Janet said. A lot of the cabin nodded and muttered in agreement. I smiled.
"I will have to think about that one!" I said. Finally, I found the cutest swimsuit ever. It was half purple and half black, along the diagonal. It had a halter neck and was absolutely perfect! I quickly changed, gave Mia a smirk and stalked off to the lake in matching flip flops, with a purple blanket over my shoulder. Along the middle of my mini hike, I heard Nico grumbling as he walked. I quickly caught up to him and we held hand on our way to the lake.
"So you ready to talk?" he said softly. I kissed his lips very tenderly.
"Absolutely!" I said, smiling.
How was it? Review and let me know! I'll love ya even more than I already do! The temptation is too much for you, cause Leah will bitch slap you otherwise! LOLOLOL :)
