Skye's P.O.V

My best friend's eyes widen. She doesn't know the regret I'm feeling. The last thing I ever said to him, was that I won the stupid bet! Why did I do that? I know one thing, I will find his killer, and will get my revenge. My hands clench as Lily hugs me. Tears drop slowly down my cheeks, as I wrap my arms around my bestie, forcing myself to relax.

"Hey guys," I hear a voice say timidly. "I know you're all shocked and sad about Liam's," her voice trembles, "death. But, we really need to train. We can't afford to lose any more time. I'm sorry" Her voice and eyes are filled with regret.

"It's fine." I say, wiping my eyes. "Let's do it."

Over the course of the next week we learn complex moves from Jess. I use my fury over Liam's death to battle, and soon I'm the best-trained demigod out of the seven. I go over to Jess and rest my hand on her shoulder.

"I want to thank you."

"For what?" She says, turning her head to me and smiling.

"Without you, we won't survive this quest. Thank you."

Her smile disappears and she looks down. I hear her murmur something.

"Are you ok?"
"Huh? Oh, fine. Thank you for…err… thanking me." She smiles. "Um, I got to go. Ethan still can't control the fire arrows I got him." She chuckles, and I narrow my eyes.

"Um, you don't happen to…like… him, do you?" I ask casually.

"What? No! He's all yours." She laughs, winks and walks away to help him, leaving me stuttering and red-faced.

Lucas' P.O.V

I watch Jess discreetly out of the corner of my eye. She's like a mini tornado going around to help everyone. I sigh, my heart filling with an emotion I've never felt before.

"H-hey." She smiles widely, waving in an awkward manner. I smile, confused as I slowly wave my hand back. She flushes in what I can only guess to be embarrassment. She clears her throat. "Hit me with a tsunami." She says clearly.

"W-what!?" I stutter in shock. "A tsunami?"

She smiles slightly then cocks her head. "What? Think I'm not strong enough to handle it?"

I shrug in response. I've never hit anyone with a full tsunami, so I decide to do a shock wave first. I half-heartedly summon a shock wave. It passes over her and she doesn't even blink. She raises her eyebrow.

"Wow. I heard so much about the 'magnificent son of Poseidon'." She says, using her fingers to indicate quotation marks. A spark ignites inside me.

"Hm?" I grunt.

"Too bad he's not as good as everyone says." She shrugs.

The spark ignites a small fire.

"Well, I mean. I could always replace you." She says, an innocent smile tugging at her lips.

I grit my teeth and raise my arms. I feel the power rushing through me, giving me life as I bend the water to my will. I then thrust my hands forward without warning and the water rushes at her with no mercy. Her eyes widen as the powerful force of water blasts towards her. She backflips quickly to give her more time and her hands go up to shield her. Then it hits. My heart drops. AHH! I've killed her! I stand there in shock. Then realising that if there is a chance she survived, it would be flattened if she is kept under water. I pull the water back, but there she stands completely dry, smirking.

"That's more like it." She says softly.

"Look, I'm really sorry."

"It was amazing!" She giggles. Oh. Happiness bursts through my heart, and I start to grin stupidly. She blushes again, and walks off to help Lily, daughter of Apollo. I stand there, staring at her with a stupid grin on my face. What is this feeling?
