Chapter 6: The Jealous God

Nico's POV

I had dreams of Teresa and me. They were graphic we were in bed together.

But all I could see was her face and nothing else. Then something woke me up.

I was looking into some ones eyes. I pulled out my sword.

"There is no need for that."

Said a voice. The eyes moved away and I turned on a light.

There was Apollo standing there glaring at me. I looked out of the window it was still dark out.

"What are you doing in my room in the middle of the night?"

I asked him. His eyes were cold.

"I want you to stay away from Teresa."

Why does he want me to stay away from her for?

"Why do I have to stay away from here for?"

He didn't say anything for a while.

"Cause she is mine."

He said in a low voice. I cant believe what I'm hearing.

"Why is she ours? You are a God and she is a demigod. You will out live her."

I was starting to get mad. I stood up and faced him.

He had a looked like he didn't think about that yet.

"It doesn't matter. I can make her Immortal."

I wasn't going to let her go with out a fight. Even if I cant win it.

"The other God wouldn't do that. Besides you would cheat on her."

I hit a nerve.

"It wouldn't matter she would be mine."

This wasn't helping me. I need to control my anger if not. . .while lets just say the outcome isn't going to be pretty.

"What if she doesn't what to be with you?"

He smiled.

"All the lady's want me. I'm so hot."

It took me all that control not to roll my eyes at him.

"Will lets see who she will pick. If she picks me then you have to leave camp and ever come around her again."

I smiled at him.

"If she picks me you have to leave her alone and you cant bother us at all."

He smiled and then we shook hands.

"On to see who she will pick you cant hang around her so much."

Then he was gone. But we had plans with Teresa.

So if I have to stay away from her. Wouldn't that make her mad?

Then she would have to pick Apollo. I was tired and I need sleep.

I will think about this in the morning. I will not lose her to a God.

The next morning when I left the cabin. Teresa was waiting for me with a big smile on her face.

But what if she did pick Apollo over me.

"Whats wrong Nico you look worried?"

Her voice had worry in it and it made me mad at my self. For making her worry about me.

But before I could answer he came.

"Hello Teresa I was wondering if you would like to go on a picnic with me today?" '

Apollo said with a smile. Teresa looked at him.

"Umm sorry Apollo but I made plans with Nico today."

He didn't look happy but he didn't let Teresa see it.

"Oh ok what about tomorrow?"

Teresa looked at him.

"Umm sure I guess why not."

Then Apollo kissed her hand and left.

"I wonder what that was all about."

Teresa said to me.

"I don't know Teresa. So what do you think about him?"

She looked at me weird.

"I guess he's ok for a God. But I learned my lesson in getting involved with Gods."

Now I was looking at her. What did she mean by that?

Has she been with a God before?

"What do you mean?"

I asked and her face turned red.

"You don't want to know. Trust me Nico some things are better left in the past." She put her hand into mine. Then she pulled me alone with her.

Every one was looking at us. My face was red but she looked like she did this all the time.

We went to breakfast but we sat at our tables. Hazel smiled at me.

"So you been here for one day and now you got a girlfriend."

My face turned red.

"I don't think we are going out. I didn't ask her and she didn't ask me."

Hazel giggled.

"That doesn't mean you two aren't going out."

I looked over at her. She and Percy was talking.

"She kissed me last night."

I said in a low voice and Hazel giggled more.

"That's good she really must like you. You better not let her go. You know its hard for us to find someone to love."

I nodded my head.

"I know but what if someone else wants her and is very more powerful then me?" Hazel's eyebrow lifted.

"Some one else wants her? And how powerful are you talking about?"

I took a few bites then said.

"Powerful as a God."

Her eyes got huge.

"Is there a God that wants her?"

I looked around and nodded my head.

"Who?"

I shook my head.

"Lets just say he wants her and I don't know why. She seems to like me but what if she fall for him?"

I didn't mean to sound nerves but I was. I didn't want to lose her.

"If she really loves you then she wont."

That help me but what if she wasn't meant to be mine? I don't think I could live with out her.

"It be ok Nico."

Hazel put her hand over mine.

"Thanks Hazel."

Then I started to eat cause Teresa was eating fast.

Teresa's POV

When I sat down Percy smiled at me.

"You just meant him and now you two are going out?"

I smiled back at him.

"Yeah he is nice and I really like him. Greek demigods don't live for a long. So I don't want to waste time. I heard about you and Annabeth. It took you two five years to tell each other you love each other."

Now his face was red.

"So but, but that's not fair!"

I smiled bigger and started to eat. I wanted to get done and spend some time with Nico.

But why did Apollo want with me?

"So did he kiss you yet?"

Percy asked nicely but it seemed that he was playing big brother but I'm a few months older then him.

"No he didn't kiss me."

He smiled.

"I kissed him last night when he walked me to the cabin."

The smiled fell and his eyes got big.

"You what!"

I started to laugh. He couldn't speak.

"Percy there is no need to be the big brother. Besides I'm older then you."

He looked at me.

"I know but you are still my sister. Its my job to make sure you are happy and no one hurts you."

I smiled at him.

"Thanks but I can look after my self."

But no matter what I say he is still going to be the big brother. So why fight with him?

Apollo kept popping in my mind. We had sex one time and now he wants to hang with me?

What does a God want with me? Besides he has children.

I don't want to cheated on. And the Gods do that be sides the Queen of the Gods. Apollo doesn't have a wife so I can get that he sleeps around. I been there and I got hurt.

I swore I would never date a God again. Besides that night was a one time thing. It was a thanks for taking away my scars. I didn't think it would become something more.

Besides I got a thing for death its been a weakness of mine. I need to finish eating so I can meet up with Nico.

"Will I better get going."

I told Percy as I got up and walked out of the pavilion. It wasn't long till Nico ran up.

"Oh were you done eating? You didn't have to leave cause I was leaving."

He smiled and put his hand in mine.

"I know I was done and I wanted to spend time with you."

I smiled as he lead me into the woods.
