Hey guys sorry for updating really late. I'm going to try to update this story twice a week, but I'm not going to make any promises because I'm starting ninth grade this Monday. So without further ado the disclaimer.
Fisher if you could, please.
Of course, milady. Kara Godelus does not own any Percy Jackson charaters.
Fisher lived up to part of his name, he told the most boring stories about gardening ever. He put the baby to sleep in a matter of minutes and I was falling asleep when, after the story of experimenting to grow oranges in the winter of '96, we finally a house.
"This should be Mr. Chase's house, milady," Fisher said pointing towards it.
The house was a simple two story house. It had a green metal roof, its outside walls were white and had ivy growing on them, and it seemed to let in a lot of light from its multitude of windows. It had a fence around the perimeter, but the yard looked untamed and no one had tried to tame it in years.
"I have offered to cut Mr. Chase's yard, but he always says he will do it," Fisher said as I opened the fence gate.
There were stones leading to the door, but the grass had found holes in the rocks and had grown though. I grabbed my nature bead on my necklace and closed my eyes to concentrate. I felt the grass respond to me and the grass started to receded back into the ground. It shrunk down to the height of freshly cut grass, I heard a sharp inhale.
I turned around and looked at Fisher, he cleared his throat before speaking, "I'm sorry milady, but your powers still shock me, even today," I looked at him questionably, I had a pretty good memory of people, but he just continued," I went to camp with Kennedy, but I only went one summer."
I nodded and started walking down the path that led to the front door. It was a simple oak door, but why was I so tense. I sniffed the air, but only smelled the paint on the house and something else like fire or smoke, it smelled like a kitchen, not a monster. The only problem was I didn't hear any alarms going off inside the house.
"That's weird, I smelled fire, but I hear no alarms ringing," I handed Fisher the basket and walked around the house looking into the windows.
I was on the backside of the house, when I saw the fire. The neighbors were having a barbecue and the smoke was wafting over. I relaxed and what back to Fisher and the baby, but I was met half by a trident at my throat. I stood, paralyzed, there thinking what to do back the trident was hastily pulled away from me.
"Milady, I'm so so sorry, I though you were a monster and I was protecting the child, please don't kill me," Fisher looked terrified as he spoke in a trembling voice.
"First I'm not going to kill you for Hades' sake, I like you," he looked stunned and opened his mouth to stop but, I wasn't done, "second stop calling me milady, I'm Kara, not a goddess," he was nodding along to me now, "third and final thank you for protecting the girl," I said taking a breathe to signify I was finish with my rant to him.
"I'm sorry," he started to said but," also please stop saying sorry to me, it brings back memories I don't want," the day flashed into my mind again if I had just stopped, no I'm not going to remember it.
"Ok mi.. Kara, and you are welcome, the young thing is very cute and I would not mind to watch her when you are away," he said handing me the basket back.
We walked back to the front door in silence. I started looking around for a doorbell but came up with nothing. I raised my hand to knock but was meet with an angry face and the scent of paper.
"You know Fisher, I could call the police for trespassing on my property," the angry faced man said, he looked a lot like Hermes salt and pepper hair with brown eyes under his glasses, he also had shaved in a while.
Fisher looked at me like, can he not see you, but responded by handing the basket over to him, " You have a daughter, Mr. Chase, a very special child with a powerful guardian watching her."
I don't think he heard the last part because his jaw dropped at the phrase you have a daughter.
"What do you mean I have a daughter, are you messing with me Fisher, because I like you but I will call the police if need be," he said looking at the baby.
"You dated a woman by the name of," he stopped short, remembering I hadn't told him the parent, I mouthed Athena to him, "Athena, right Mr. Chase."
Mr. Chase stood there shocked for a moment but recovered," Yes, I did, Fisher how do you know that."
Fisher held back a laugh," She a goddess, you now a demigod living under your roof."
"But Athena and I," he paused and moved closer to Fisher," never did it."
Fisher let lose a bellow of laughter, " There is a lot about the gods you need to understand," and then Fisher walked away, but not before nodding towards me.
Mr. Chase watched Fisher's retreating figure and then turned to look into the basket. He mumbled something and walked back into his house. I followed him quickly and when he turned around to make sure nothing was going to jump out and yell PRANKED YOU, but he was out of luck.
That is the end of chapter 2. Hope you like it, please review and follow.
