Days passed after I woke up and everyone knew. I mean everyone! Some where glaring at me, others smiling. It was strange. I was out for a month yet it seemed like an hour. I sighed and walked to the sword arena. I was okay, almost as good as Luke, according to some people. I didn't question it, mostly because he was super mad at me. I picked up my blade and smirked, today we was doing fights against each other. I couldn't help but be excited.
"Okay, everyone. You're in partners, pre chosen." Announced Mr D.
"Conner and Travis." Chiron announced. Obviously, they do everything together.
"Clarissa and Annabeth." That was going to be funny.
"Grover and Jupiter." Jupiter was a wood nymph. But she was more social then others. Grover blushed, Jupiter turned a light shade of green. But that was her way of blushing. Soon everyone had a partner. Except Luke and I.
"Finally, Luke and peri." Chiron smirked slightly. I groaned but walked to him.
"Only disarm. Don't harm or kill your opponent." Mr D said, boredom filling his every word.
"Luke." I ran a hand though my hair, smirking.
"Peri." He smirked back, we both stood there eyeing each other. We stood silent for several minutes, just eyeing each other. We hadn't even started fighting yet half the teams where finished. We wasn't really still, we was messing with our blades. The ADHD and all. As soon as the last pair, Annabeth and Clarissa. Annabeth just winning, Luke and I began. He slashed at my leg, I slashed at his arm. We both only tore the fabric of our clothes. We both frowned. Luke ran at me, I gasped and slashed at his leg, leaving a mark. He growled lowly and pinned me against the wall, his sword against my neck. I dropped my sword, out of fear. Was he really going to hurt me? Before I could find out, someone ran to my side.
"Stop!" Chiron yelled.
"The prophecy is about her, unless they're another child of the big three" so the prophecy could be about Percy, whatever the prophecy was. Luke growled but released me.
"This isn't over." He snarled then walked to the dining area.
At tea that day everyone was looking at me. I didn't have a table, it wouldn't fit. So I just ate with the satyrs. Which was annoying because the wood nymphs kept coming and flirting. But with Grover and Jupiter it was cute, and not as annoying as others. After we made the offerings to the gods, to our godly parents actually. You'd only offer food to your parents, mine always ended up smelling like death, we began to eat.
"Will you guys just be normal for once?" I mummered, the annoyance clear in my voice, after ten long minutes. Jupiter giggled, looking at Grover. Obviously not. I finished eating and offered the rest to my dad. Mmm death. I walked to the Hermes table. It was against rules but I didn't have a table. So it didn't matter...that much. I sat in between Conner and Travis.
"Hey." I grinned.
"Breaking the rules eh?" Travis smirked.
"Problem?"
"Nah, no one will notice." Conner grinned. I glanced at Luke, he frowned at me.
"Luke will." I mumbled. Then stood up.
"I'll see you later." I waved at them, walking to the volleyball area. Mostly Aphrodite's kids hung out here. I saw them all wearing bikini tops and shorts. They where all perfect looking, even the ones with scars looked perfect. I sorta felt weird, wearing my camp half blood orange shirt, black skirt and my black knee high skeleton shocks. They all had either very little make up on, or none at all. Gods I felt out of place. Since I was knocked out I had grown paler, thinner, taller and my hair was darker, my eyes had grown slightly darker as well. I sat down, messing with one of the balls. The Aphrodite girls where all laughing and having fun. One glanced at me and started laughing again. I rolled my eyes.
"If you've got sommet to say about me, say it to ma face!" I snapped, also since being in America in general my accent had gotten thicker and more English I guess. Like I wasn't going to lose it, not that I wanted to.
"Ooh, can little death English girl speak?"
"Yeah, gee I'm English. Deal with it!" I snarled, my temper was far worse. I'd never had much of a temper but now it was terrible. I stood up, brushing myself down, and walked to the cabins. Not before I fell, by someone's feet.
Declaimer: I only own Persephone.
I will only update once a week now. That day will either be Saturday or Sunday. So my chapters will begin to get longer and stuff.
