I'm sorry for the huge delay my dear readers but I had to go to school and my notebook got lost. 1st quarter exams just ended and it was pure Hades. Thank the gods that I was able to survive that week. (hears little brother shouting) Okay! Okay! I'll get to the point.
I DO NOT own PJO nor do I own HoO. That will only happen if Rick Riordan decides to give the rights over to me.
And now… the moment we've been all been waiting for… the story.
Nico and Bianca were happily playing Tag with one of their neighbors May, a daughter of Demeter. Even though May was older than them, none of the minded. May was like a fun older sister to them, someone that will always support them. While playing, all of them thought that after a rather harsh week at school complete with tons of homework and quizzes, this break was highly deserved.
"Tag, you're it!" Bianca cried surprising May who was running around trying to avoid Nico. By then, Nico was laughing at her. Bianca began laughing as well and soon, May joined them.
"Come on kids. Lets go home." she told them.
"Hey! We're not that young." Nico complained, "If we're kids, then you're a kid too."
"Yep!" Bianca agreed, "You're only a year older than me."
"Even if you two aren't kids anymore both of you still have to go home." She replied.
"'Kay." They chorused.
On their way home, they kept chatting about school, their new friends, and food. They were nearing a corner when Bianca suddenly stopped.
"I heard something." she muttered, "there's something going to happen. I can feel it."
"It's okay Bianx," May reassured, "Nothing's going to happen."
They entered the alley and were stopped by the sight of a one-eyed monster. Said monster was a cyclops that look ready to kill them.
"Run home kids." May ordered, "I'll handle this and catch up with you later."
"You sure May?" Bianca asked, afraid for her. She then heard the monster roar. "On second thought, Nico lets go." she said dragging Nico with her.
"You can't stop me daughter of Demeter." the cyclops boasted.
"Try me." She replied, stabbing him with her dagger. "Come and get me."
"Insolent girl!" It screamed, trying to hit May. She dodged.
"You will pay for scaring my charges." May told him. "Feel my wrath!" she shouted as vines wrapped the cyclops.
"Nooooo!"
"I'm glad that's over." She sighed, sheathing her dagger.
She soon caught up with Nico and Bianca.
"Was that… that… real?" Nico asked her.
"Nah, it was just a man asking for directions. Apparently, he got scared in the alley." May smoothly lied.
Both Nico and Bianca thought this was highly unlikely but accepted it for now knowing that May's not going to tell them anything.
A few months later, May had to leave for her dad was promoted them stationed in the Philippines.
"We'll never forget you." Nico and Bianca shouted as they drove off.
Finally done. For those who are waiting for the next chapters, there is one waiting in my notebook ready to be typed. I'll start on them soon.
