Poseidon's Daughter
Chapter 3
SAIRAH!
SAIRAH point of view
I was scared, very scared. I glanced at Nicole for a moment and then ran.
NICO point of view
My brain didn't process the person on whom I shouted I was half asleep. All I knew was sea been eyes. They looked at me with pleadingly. How dare anyone wake me from my dear sleep. I was about to drift off again but Will grabbed me by my shoulders and shook me while shouting
" WHAT DID YOU JUST DO ?! YOU SCARED HER ? DID YOU EVEN SEE HER FACE WHEN YOU SHOUTED AT HER ?!"
"Who, What ?" I asked
"WHAT , NICO. SAIRAH the girl you just brought here. You might not know her but the way she treats you , she knows you." With this Will rushed behind her.
BOOM I remembered everything. What did I just do !
I got out of bed but something caught attention. It was locket.
I opened it. I closed it and ran to catch up to them.
I had no idea on how i was to react to her. I decided to follow my instincts. She was my responsibility if any thing happened to her then I wouldn't be able to forgive myself. Dad help me out I prayed .
I found her but she was up Thalia's tree. I could see that she wasn't scared of heights but as soon as the rest of the campers began to arrive she was scared. I could tell because then she was trembling.
Will said to me " Nico her condition is very fragile any kind of injury would be fatal for her."
"We have to get her down" I said
I shouted to the campers "Move back" hoping Sairah would listen and the campers would follow.
They were reluctant. As Will passed by he said "Hope u know what you are doing." I replied "Go get a bedspread to catch her if she falls." Seeing Will go back rest of the campers also backed away from view .
It was just me and Sairah.
"Sairah" I said politely. She didn't look at me.
"Sairah" I said louder but politely. This time she looked at me.
"I didn't really mean to hurt you. I really didn't know it was you. I would never do anything to hurt you." I said. She still didn't look convinced.
"I am sorry Sairah. I didn't mean to hurt you.".
"Do you really mean it." She questioned
"Yes I really mean it. Now come back down. " I said .
She nodded and started to get down.
Slowly she started to get down. On the last branch she looked down at me.
"Will you leave me like mum and dad?" She again questioned
"No I wont" I said instinctively.
She asked me again" Do you love me?"
Love ! I didn't really know what was she talking and why. I was to confused to answer her. "Come down first we'll talk then. " I said. I was focused on the thin branch which held her weight. Where was Will ? What was taking him so much time? I thought.
"This isn't the answer to my question" she beamed. I could hear the branch creak. It was about to break.
" Sairah get down now." I said to her. From the corner of my I eye I saw Will and some others bring the bed spread. But they were far. I moved into a position to catch her if she fell.
" No you answer me fir.." The branch broke.
"SAIRAH !" I screamed.
