"We are going home soon." I smiled at Chris, and stroked his cheeks.
"It was fun" He told me, as we lied naked in bed, in that after-making-love mood.
"I really enjoyed having this week off with you." I told him, fixing my ring, so that the diamond would be facing forward.
"You two, you know" He played with my hair, "you and Clarissa, you guys are my life."
I smiled at him and closed my eyes as I rested on his chest.
"Is everything ready?" I asked him, sitting up.
"Yeah, I'm all packed. Our flight leaves at seven, so we have to be in the airport in a few hours." He said, standing up and putting some boxers on.
"Can't wait to see her." I said excitedly.
"I miss her so much."
"Yeah, lets sleep now." I put on one of Chris's shirts and got into position for sleeping.
In a very short time, i was in a deep sleep with Chris's arms around my body, dreaming.
In my dreams that night, it was intense.
Flashback started
"YOU ARE USELESS, JUST LIKE YOUR MOTHER, YOU LITTLE CRYBABY!" Ares's voice echoed in my head.
"Daddy… I'm not useless!" I struggled to lift the huge sword with my small arms, swinging it without control.
"CLARISSE!"
I swung the sword, that was bigger than i was in height and hit my father's leg with it, causing a cut to form.
"I SAID I'M NOT USELESS." I screamed as loud as I could.
Ares stood there, staring at me and at his leg. There was apparent and obvious amazement in his eyes, he opened his mouth but he wasn't able to form words.
"This is camp half blood" Chiron told the eleven year old girl, staring at everything around her.
"What the hell are you?" I crossed my arms.
"I'm Chiron, a centaur. I take care of this camp. Here you will learn how to fight, and defend yourself from the most horrendous beasts." He smiled.
I ran towards a big space, with lots of people fighting, i pointed towards it.
"Thats the arena, Clarisse. I knew you'd like it." Chiron told me.
"Fighting…" I gasped as I pictured myself with a sword or a spear fighting against huge monsters, blood all over the place, my hands dirty.
"I'm Alex." A big girl loomed over the eleven year old me, "I'm the head of our cabin." She patted my back with more force than she intended to.
"Ah…I…I'm Clarisse. Clarisse La Rue." I said in a low voice, looking down.
The big girl nodded, fixed her bandana and went back to fighting. I could hear her talking to the rest of the cabin.
"Go! Go! Go!" She yelled at the rest of the warriors as they fought some other cabin, that I still couldn't recognize. My eyes glimmered as the big girl yelled orders and slashed and kicked and made blood spill on the battlefield. The way she was strong, the way her moves were certain and precise, no mistakes. I wanted to be like her, i wanted to. Little did I know, that in a few years, I'd be just like the girl i was looking at that day.
"Mr. D, please!" I begged as the tears fell down like a waterfall. "Please, please, cure him." I touched Chris's cold hand as he murmured insane things.
"Clarisse, I'll try but…"
I fell to the ground, "Please! Please…" I curled into a little ball in the corner of the infirmary, my heart tightened, it broke. I had never felt such pain.
"Hey, hey, its okay." Chris touched my lip with his finger, "Just close your eyes."
I nervously closed my eyes, i felt my hand being touched by his and suddenly i knew he was closer than ever, I felt his breath on my face and then… I experienced the softness on his lips on mine, for the first time.
"Silena!" I touched her now deformed face. I cried as I watched her soul leaving her body. She died a hero. She died for me… The guilt took over, how could I let something so stupid…I was so selfish…How could i let her do something like this… I didn't know but… I touched her hair, and glared at my siblings.
"I'M CLARISSE LA RUE, THE DRAKON SLAYER!" My body burned with an unstoppable fire, i was invincible. I knew, in that moment, my father was with me. And nothing could stop me.
The rain made everything look more depressing.
"It wasn't your fault" Chris sat beside me, as I curled on the corner of my dark cabin. "She died a hero, she's with Beckendorf now."
I screamed and pulled on my own hair, i thought i was going to puke, the emotional pain was just too much. "I…I'll never see her again! And its ALL MY FAULT, CHRIS! CHRIS! DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND?!"
He tried removing my hands from my hair, he put his arms around me, and held me tightly. "Shhh…" He squeezed me tight and held me as I screamed and cried.
I woke up one day, and it just didn't hurt as much. She was happier now.
"Silena…" I whispered her name as i tried to send her the happiest thoughts I could think of.
"Owww…" I gasped in pain and glared at Chris, on top of me. "This hurts!"
"Its because its your first time, its mine too…" Chris said shyly, as he slowly and gently started sliding in and out of me, not entering me fully.
I shut my eyes tight, and held my breath for a few seconds, that seemed to decrease the pain. I felt my vagina walls stretching.
In a minute, it didn't hurt as bad and the pleasure took over.
"It doesn't hurt anymore, go deeper." I told him, relaxing my muscles.
"I love you." It was the first time i heard those words coming out of Chris's mouth.
I froze, "You what?"
"I love you. Yes, i do. I love you!" He smiled and kissed me passionately.
"I…yeah, I do too." I struggled to express my feelings.
"I'm pregnant." My voice echoed loudly in my head.
Chris stared at me.
"Its a girl, Clarisse!"
"I love you, Clarissa." I whispered in her tiny ear, still covered in my blood.
"This is our new home!" Chris told me.
"My baby." I breastfed her, i felt good as I knew my milk was providing everything she needed, the person I most loved in this world.
"I love you Clarisse." Ares said.
"You look so beautiful." Chris gasped as he stared at me, in my white wedding dress.
"I Chris, take you Clarisse to be my wedded wife, to have and to hold form this day forward, for better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death us do part." Chris told me crying.
"I Clarisse, take you Chris to be my wedded husband, to have and to hold from this day forwards, for better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death us do part." i told him holding his hand.
"Honeymoon. Only the two of us." Chris's voice rang in my ears.
"Clarisse?" He stopped sliding himself in and out of my vagina. "Why are you crying, sweetheart? Babe, am i doing something wrong? Did i hurt you?" He alertedly inquired.
"No, no…"I whispered smiling at him while the tears still fell, "Don't stop. I'm crying because i love you. This is all too good to be true. I love you so much, i never want to lose you. Never ever." I grabbed his back and pulled him as close to me as I could.
"I love you, more. You won't ever lose me, i promise on my life." He told me, his thrust inside me slower now, "You are my everything."
Flashback ended
"Clarisse!" I felt something shaking me. "We are going to be late, come on, the taxis here already!"
I opened my eyes slowly, yawning, "Its already time to go home?" I asked, suddenly excited.
"Yeah, come on." Chris helped me up, "What the hell were you saying this night?" He asked as I put some clothes on quickly.
"I had a weird dream… I started seeing all the most remarkable moments in my life…"
"Was I there?" Chris asked me.
"What do you think? My husband and the father of my baby" I smiled at him.
He laughed.
HOURS LATER, AT CAMP
"Clarisse!" Bella stood up from the chair she was sitting on and hugged me. "How was it? Tell me everything!"
I didn't hesitate, there was nothing else in my mind, "Where's my baby?"
"Gee, slow down. She's sleeping." Jackson appeared from Clarissa's room.
"JACKSON! What the hell is he doing here?" I glared at everyone in the room.
"Chill, i was only seeing Clarissa, Clarisse."
"Don't fucking touch her, you brat." I wanted to spit on his face.
I ran to her room and Annabeth was there too, sitting on the floor playing with Clarissa.
I loomed over her, suddenly my eyes met Clarissa's. She squealed loudly and stretched her arms in Annabeth's lap.
I reached down and picked her up, i missed her so much, it hurt. My heart was filled with that warm feeling again.
"Maaaaaa! Eeeeeeeeyyyy!" She was screaming in my arms, i hugged her tight, close to my heart.
I thought i was going to cry. I didn't even care that Percy and Annabeth were there, i just wanted to be with my baby.
At night, for the first time in a long time, i remembered I was not only a mother, i was a daughter too.
I picked up a pen and a pencil and I wrote a letter.
Mother,
I know I promised to visit you this year, but a lot happened this year. Well, where to start? I've been doing okay, I'm really happy actually, at the time ago, I found out I was pregnant, from Chris, of course. I got married, last week, actually. I have a daughter, named is beautiful, looks a lot like me.I couldn't be happier, mom. She's the best thing that ever happened to me. I can't imagine living without her, she's my everything, my is very happy too, i can't believe this is all happening. I know that i am young, but you know how this goes, you were younger when you had me. Dad at first was mad, he even hit me like he used to do when I was little, i thought he was going to make me abort. But, he didn't .He's accepted her now, and you won't believe this…he even said he loved me. The wedding was beautiful, i was in a white dress and everything. Anyways, I'll see you sometime, mother.
Clarisse La Rue Rodriguez.
TEN MONTHS LATER
It all seemed so distant now, time flew by. I remembered Clarissa's birth as if it happened yesterday, but she was one now.
"Clarisse!" Bella came in the door of my house, chanting my name.
"Bella! Your hair!" Bella's long, wavy hair was now in a modern, chic, short haircut. She touched the tips of her hair, that didn't even touch her shoulders.
"It looks fabulous, doesn't it?" She asked me.
"Yeah, it looks great." I told her, everything looked great on Bella.
"I was needing change. I like it short." She fluffed her hair.
"Mommy" Clarissa came out of her room with Chris. She was such a clever, intelligent girl. She was one, but she was walking and already starting to talk.
I picked her up.
"Bella" She touched Bella's nose.
"Hey, Clarissa! Its almost Christmas time! I have a present for you!" Bella exclaimed then looked towards me, "Huh, this is what i came talk to you about." She handed me a pamphlet.
"Whats this?" I put Clarissa on the floor, she hugged my right leg.
"An invitation. A Christmas party!"
"I don't know, Bella."
"Please come on! It'll be fun!" Bella tried convincing me.
Chris hugged me from behind, "Bella! Your hair! Its so different! Wow! It looks so cool!" He touched her hair and put his arm around her.
I was really getting annoyed at him. Chris and Bella had been spending too much time together, too much for my taste. I was starting to think that something was going on.
"Really? You like it?" She asked.
"Yeah, but, everything looks beautiful on you." He smiled warmly at her.
I made a groaning sound and walked towards my bedroom, followed by Clarissa. I locked the door behind me. I knew Chris wasn't doing anything with her, but i couldn't help but suspect.
"You… Crying…" Clarissa curled up beside me.
"No baby, mommy's not crying. Everything's okay, honey." I kissed her forehead.
"Clarisse!" Chris knocked on the door.
