Here we go again.
Poseidon Daughter
Chapter 6
A minor Accident
Percy, Bianca, Annabeth and Nico were standing by Sairah's bed.
"I think it is high time that you told Sairah about Nico and Percy."Percy said.
"I'm sorry I should have taken care of her."said Annabeth.
"Accidents happen. But take care next time."Bianca said rubbing Sairah's hand.
"I don't think it is a good idea."
"If not now then when."said Annabeth, she knew it was the right thing to do.
"Well.." Bianca was cut shot as Sairah woke up with a scream.
"Its alright, you are fine and safe." Bianca comforted Sairah. Who pulled ger into a hug. Sairah had her back faced to the group. As Bianca hugged Sairah she looked at each one of them as if asking 'should I tell her.' All of then nodded with a encouraging look.
Just then Percy and Annabeth pushed Nico into Sairah's view. Nico smiled at her which she did too.
"Haven't seen you since ages where have you been?" Sairah questioned her brother.
"Busy." The only reply Nico could think of.
Before Sairah could turn around. Bianca held her chin and turned her to face herself.
"Are you alright? I got so worried about you."
"Ya I feel okay."
"How long do you think that you were underwater?"
"About a ten- fifteen minutes"
"You were down for about thirty minutes."
Sairah was dazzled.
"There is something that I want to talk about. I don't know how to explain it to you." Said Bianca
Sairah nodded. "Okay"
"Do know who brought you here?"
"Umm.. Yes my brother Nicolas."
"And"
"And who?"
"Percy"
"Do you know about look-a-likes?"
"Ya."
"That is Percy who brought you here." Bianca said pointing out to Percy.
Sairah shuddered as saw Percy.
"Hi." said Percy.
Sairah was tongue tied. She distanced herself from him but kept glancing at him.
"And Sairah we.." Bianca didn't know how to tell Sairah about Nico. Bianca took a deep breathe in and said
"We haven't met anyone named Nicolas." Sairah was confused he was standing right in front of them and still Bianca said that they hadn't meet Nicolas.
Bianca pointed at Nicolas and said "This is.."
"I am Nico Di Angelo her brother, heir of Hades." An awkward moment of silence passed by.
"You are joking aren't you Nicolas." said Sairah with bright smile. Then when no one responded realisation dawned upon her.
"You lied to me. All of you." said Sairah with tears brimming her eyes.
"No, Sairah I never lied to you. Had Nico not lied to you your condition would have worsened. Do you even remember your condition when you came here, you were unconscious and tired your mental condition was no better. You were also suddenly shifted to a different environment."stated Bianca.
Annabeth chipped in " What Bianca wants to say is Sairah we did what was required at that time. And you need to understand."
"Just get out of my life. All of you. I was too gullible to believe that you were like my sister. You are very different. How can someone do this. How can someone be so indifferent to me. You just played with my emotions."
Bianca was taken aback.
"We just wanted you..."said Nico
"You wanted to build me up so that I can break down again."said glaring at Nico. Sairah felt betrayed. She dashed out of the room. Nico followed her but Annabeth stopped him. "Give her time and space."
LINE BREAK
Thalia exited the big house after a talk with Mr D. She saw someone going towards the woods. She stood and watched.
Sairah was fuming with anger on the outside but was confused in the inside. 'Should I be angry?' This question was causing a havoc in her brain. 'Was how i reacted was right or not?'
She was lost in her thoughts that she didn't see the war lord's daughter standing. She bumped into her and fell. Clarisse who was holding a cup of coffee , now toppled over her.
Clarisse was the last person Sairah would want to bump into and secondly she even made her anger because of the coffee.
Sairah was unable to react. Clarisse glared.
"I..,I'm sorry." Sairah stammered
"Someone's gonna pay for this."
Sairah was tongue tied. Clarisse was about to hit her but Thalia blocked her hand. Bianca stepped in between both of them.
"Step aside Bianca."
"It was an accident, and she already said sorry."
"So, Step aside Bianca."
"No way."
Till then Percy and the others had reached. Sairah yelped when Percy held her arm helping her up.
Percy held his Riptide. Bianca had her hand over her sword and Thalia her clenched her bracelet. The whole armed Ares cabin had come to Clarisse's side. Chris handed Clarisse her sword. All were ready to strike.
BOOM.
Grape Vines emerged from the ground and tightened around everyone. Mr D stepped between Bianca and Clarisse.
"Tonight we'll have capture the flag. Ares cabin Vs Hades cabin. Campers get ready." With this he walked away. Leaving them struggling in the vines.
After all wriggling out of the Vines all three of them turned around to find Sairah in disbelief.
"You are.. " started Bianca but couldn't finish it. She looked away and left.
"In Bianca's team. She's really pissed off what did you do?" said Thalia.
"Perce I'll take her from here. "
Percy tried to say something but Thalia cut him off ."Shhh go,go." Percy left us hesitantly. Thalia smiled to herself.
"Yup, So where were we. You were telling me why is Bianca so pissed off."
Sairah POV
I stayed quiet hoping she would leave me alone.
"Blurt it out, Greenie. I don't have whole day I have work to do."
"We just had a fight."
"And"
"That's it."
She rolled her eyes at me."I come back after a month and see a greenie being bullied by Clarisse and Bianca stepping in, as if you meant something to her and all you say is 'We just had a fight. And you want me to freaking believe you"
"Tell me everything."
I told her everything because she had come to help me out. It seemed that she was the only one in the camp who hadn't ignored or hurt me.
"That was what you said?" She asked calmly.
I nodded.
"ARE YOU FREAKING CRAZY! She helped and protect you just like an elder sister. And this is what you give her in return? Do you understand you did set an emotional turmoil within her. She's an emotional freak. Even after being princess of the underworld she is capable to give life and joy. This is alot you can expect from a daughter of the underworld."
"Thalia"a voice echoed. It was Bianca. Percy stood behind Bianca. Thalia glared at him.
"Hi Bianca." said Thalia.
"Chiron wanted to meet you." said Bianca.
"I don't know who are you where you come from but think before you act." said Thalia before sprinting off to find Chiron.
After this Percy and Bianca left me to my thoughts.
I realized I did over react. It was a little bit too much. I went back to the camp and went straight to Bianca and others. I saw them they were planning for Capture the Flag. I went and sat down quietly and listened. Bianca, Annabeth and Thalia were planning the course of action. My duty was to be a distraction with a two other members whose name I didn't seem to hear.
Then after two hours we were allowed to prepare ourselves. I wanted forgiveness but that shouldn't stop us from winning. I left with Thalia to the armory and when we all had gathered the supply.
Bianca spoke " Get your weapons and rest for some time. Soon we will be called to a battle which we have to win."
After the crowd reduced to Bianca, Nico, Annabeth, Percy, Thalia and me.
I called out.
"I am sorry." then my eyes wandered to Thalia she mouthed 'Keep going.'
"I got carried away. I'm sorry it was Nicolas. He was my only family. I wanted to see him so badly and when I saw you I didn't notice or take the pains to ask you or any one else about you. I'm sorry. I just can't come in terms with the fact that I have lost my only family Nicolas. I am sorry Bianca I shouldn't have said those things to you. You helped me settle in. You were stood my side when I was sure no one would. I'm sorry. Will you, All of you forgive me."
All eyes were at Bianca. She seemed to notice this and saw each one of them and then back at me and said
"Oh Sairah, We forgive you." I went straight up to her and hugged her. Then we had a group hug.
"Don't you want to inform your parents how could you forget that ."said Bianca.
"I lost my mom to car crash. Never got to know my dad." sighed Sairah.
"Ohh, I'm sorry I didn't know."
"Its not your fault."
Bianca didn't say anything and just stared at her it made Sairah realize.
"You want to know more?"
"Well if you want to tell us, why not?"
"I grew up with my aunt and uncle."
"Bob wasn't it."
"Humm."
"Cousins?"questioned Bianca.
"Nicolas and Sue." Sairah choked while she said this.
"Sue. Nice name."
"She was my elder sister. More like a motherly figure. She was there for me whenever I needed help when ever Nicolas couldn't help. She helped me through the trauma of loosing my mom. She even was the only person who made life bearable at my aunt's."
"Where's she?"
"Looking at me from the sky."
After a few moments of awkward silence.
"How did she..?" said Annabeth not knowing how to complete the sentence.
"Those summer holidays spent at the beach. Sea took away my brother, my sister and my happiness."
"Aunt and Uncle?" questioned Nico.
Sairah didn't speak a word. She didn't have too. The awkward silence was broken by sound of the horn meaning commencement of the games.
