Chapter 10

3rd POV

As Aurora left her mother's temple she headed up to the dining pavilion and on her way she met up with Percy who had Selena walking closely beside him, very clearly having just woken up a few minutes prior.

"Oh hey Percy, heading up to the dining pavilion?" Aurora had asked with a comforting smile.

"Yea I am, also Selena wants to meet up with Artemis while we are having

some breakfast." replied Percy while stretching"Oh you are? I need to thank her again for some of the archery lessons." with that Aurora walked up with percy trying to talk to him but not being able to talk to him at all.

While Percy and Selena went off to attempt to find Artemis so Aurora instead just sat with her brother and his girlfriend, Grady appeared to be beyond exhausted as his eyes were bloodshot and he had a hard time keeping his head up and out of his food. Alexia, on the other hand was the complete opposite being very awake and happily enjoying the eggs and bacon.

"Why so drowsy, Grady?" Aurora had asked.

"Well I opened the window of my room as it was extremely hot in there, but the window was facing toward the rest of the temples so i heard all of music playing by apollo, so I'm running on less than a few hours of sleep. Though with Alexia right now, she had plenty of sleep apparently." Grady replied sluggishly

"Well then, Alexia? Who have you been so far?"

"I've been good, I'm enjoying my time here, it's very liv-" Alexia was interrupted by Grady smacking his head against the table then springing back up, eye's widen "I'm good, I'm good" he assured. "As I was saying," Alexia continued, "thing's here are very lively and entertaining, also interesting to see that Percy has a harem, never thought that he'll get one especially with Artemis in it, I wonder how the rest of the hunters feel about it."

"Not happy if i might say." was all Aurora responded with.

Zeus had come to the front of the pavilion seeming to have a speech or statement to say. "While our representatives only should be here the first and final day, we wish for you to stay an additional day, you'll be provided transport back to camp the next day. There are some final things that are needed to be said towards the evening. Thank you and have fun." And with that zeus left for the time being.

-TIME SKIP: A FEW HOURS-

Aurora was walking through the town after talking with Artemis for a bit and getting some more arrows, on her way she thinking about wanting to dye her hair to a rainbow style more.

As she was walking through she saw a couple of people under a tree, she at first thought it was percy and annabeth but as she walked up it was Alexia reading with Grady asleep beside her while she was reading. Aurora couldn't help but smile 'I hope that I can get that kind of relationship, preferably with Percy' she thought to herself, she decided not to bother the two on the warm afternoon. She decided to find percy to tell him that she does in fact like him, whether or not people where there.

After searching she found him by a water fountain with most of the rest of the harem by him. She built up her courage and walked up to percy and asked him if they could talk, her face bright red.

"Sure, what is it?" Percy asked following her

"I wish to be with you, even if I'm going to be competing against the other girls" Aurora told in a more quiet tone as so no one but percy can hear her.

"Give me sometime about it, I'll answer you very soon with my answer" Percy told, then left and sat back at the fountain talking to Annabeth.

Aurora left her spot and sat with her brother and Alexia feeling very happy with herself.
