Hey everyone! SO thank you Dogbiscuit and GabbydaughterofAthena. So let's get into it. Disclaimer: RR owns the characters that you have heard of. I own my plot line that makes the Olympian family tree look neat and untangled.
"I can't believe it!" I growled out as I paced in Zoe's tent. "Ten years! Ten fuc-"
"BLUEBELL PALLAS ARTEMIS! I will not stand that kind of language! If you will not stand down because I am your sister then stand down because I am your Lieutenant!"
"That is bull! I never took your stupid oath because my mother, my lady, damn it! Artemis! Artemis never made me! I don't know if I can consider you my sister because sisters don't lie to their sisters about important things! You lied to me my entire life! You practically betrayed me!"
Tears start to appear in Zoe's eyes. "Don't say that. I only did so to protect you. I love you like a sister. I would never betray you."
I immediately started to feel guilty. "I'm sorry I didn't mean that! I know you would betray me. I just... I just need some time alone to think."
"I understand. I will give you some space." she replied with the tears still obvious in her eyes. She then left out the tent flap. Leaving me alone in her tent. I just sat down on her bed and curled up in her blankets and sobbed. The world was so unfair! I have no mom, my adoptive mom is kidnapped, my dad is never there for me, and apparently if my true parents are discovered, I am as good as dead! My hand grips the necklace that I always wear. The one with a silver peacock. It always seems to radiate comfort, specifically the feeling of happiness associated with a good family that cares for you. My tears slowly dry up and my eyes slowly droop close.
It feels like I had just went to sleep when I am awaken by light streaming through the open tent flap. "Come on Bell," Zoe says softly from the open tent flap. "We are leaving. Apollo is taking us to camp half-blood." disgust clear in her voice at the last statement.
When I left the tent, I noticed that the tent was the last thing still set up. I scan the campsite and take in the obvious separation in groups. The hunters are on one side staying away from the boys and the girl daughter of Zeus. The girl ,who was one of the two kids that had to be rescued by Perseus and the rest of the group of demigods, I think her name was Bianca, stood beside the hunter making it obvious that she joined the hunters. For the first time in my life, I felt sorry for a male. She choose immortality and freedom from responsibility over her family. Family. That word always meant so much to me. My family always meant more than any other word that I knew. Now I have none. This girl would just give hers away because she had to pull them through. The boy, Nico, had obvious tears in his eyes. I bet the only thing keeping him from confronting his sister and asking why was the group of hunters between them. I have to hold back my rage at them. They just tore apart a family with no regret other than having to be in the presences of a male. To think that I used to think of them as my family! Okay, I still do. Even after all this you can't give up on family. It is all you have left.
My internal dialogue was interrupted by the Sun. Also known as Apollo on his chariot. He pulls up in a bright red... nice car. I admit that I don't know cars but spending your whole life in the woods doesn't help. Apollo hops out of the vehicle. "This won't do. " he said while examining the group then looking at his car. He snaps his fingers and it grows to the size of a school bus. "All right kiddos, everyone aboard. " The hunters all gave him a death stare as they climbed on and Zoe slapped him as she walked by to prove her point. "I get it, I get it." he said as he raised his hands.
The campers went on next, followed by the satyr. I start to get on but am blocked by Apollo. He looks me in the eye and with a serious expression I never saw on his face said "No matter how bad it is now, never give up on family. It is all you have in the end. Remember that both of your mothers loved you more than any single other thing and your father loves you just as much." He then wrapped his arms around giving me the first hug I remember ever having from a male. "and you, my niece are something special. Always remember that." With that said he turned and went into the bus. At this point I don't even process what has happened. My mind has entered a state of shock from the overwhelming things that have happened in the last couple of hours. I numbly walk on to the bus and sit in the first seat I see. Right beside Perseus. My mind processes Zoe giving Perseus and Apollo death glares. Serves her right. Perseus gives me an uneasy smile and I give a tearful one back. He notices this and says "Hey what's wrong?" Before I could give an evasive reply the bus jerks forward and I notice a very pale daughter of Zeus at the wheel. Yep. This day is going to suck.
Alright everyone That is a wrap for now. I thought I would give you guys this. Also I am trying to get to Percy's point of view. There is just so much stuff needed to set my plot. Of course. Review. Favorite. Follow. Really whatever floats your boat. -Gloom17
