Hi guys. Thanks to all of those who have favourites and followed this story. It's really appreciated. Here is Chapter 4. Sorry for any mistakes, I only skimmed through it for mistakes. Oh and disclaimer. I don't own Percy Jackson or any of the demigods or gods or people or songs or anything mentioned in here that you've read in the PJO series. Enjoy!
The kid who put him in a net and Malcolm, carry Cupid in the net while Annabeth bombarded him with questions.
"If you were really a god, you'd be able to get out," Annabeth says.
Cupid smirks, "oh, I can sweetheart."
Annabeth scowls, "Who are you anyways?" She says. "If you were really a god...I'd be able to figure you out."
Percy shrugs, "gods can change their forms, right? So maybe he's in a different form."
"BINGO! We have a winner," Cupid yells sarcastically.
Percy grins, "and you call yourself Wise Girl."
"No...actually you do," Annabeth replies.
Once they reach the big house, the seven of them go to Chiron's room, not even bothering to knock.
"Chiron, this is an emergency!" One of the kids holding Cupid yells.
Chiron looks at the god in the net and stares him up and down.
"You have caught a winged creature wearing a fancy suit?" He asks.
That's when Cupid flashes out of the net and into the chair across from Chiron.
The guys look at Cupid and back at the net a few times looking dumbfounded. "Wha?"
"I'm a god," Cupid says. Everyone looks at him doubtfully. Cupid sighs knowing what he had to do. He snaps his fingers and can feel himself changing. His legs become short and stubby, his checks become chubby and red and his suit changes into a white diaper. Soon he's back to that cute little baby with the snowy skin and bow and arrows.
"Believe me now?" He asks.
"Cupid?" Everyone yells.
"No, think of the other god whose a BABY!" He snaps.
"Cupid...but that's your Roman name," Annabeth says. "So you must be Eros."
"Actually-" he begins, but he stops himself as he changes from his Roman Cupid form, to his Greek Eros form.
"So," Malcolm says. "If your here, Aphrodite must've sent you."
Annabeth nods, "for your target. Could you tell us who the couple is? We could help!"
"I doubt it," Eros replies.
"Why not?" The first girl asks.
"Because my target is one of you."
Annabeth and Percy walk out dumbfounded. "His target is one of us?" Percy asks.
Annabeth sighs, "if it's me, I'm going to kill Aphrodite."
"Why? She knows what she's doing. She'd probably set you up with someone good."
Annabeth sighs, "have you met Aphrodite?!"
"Yeah, personally infact."
"Whatever Percy. I already have someone I like. I don't need Aphrodite messing it up by pairing me with someone else."
Percy's eyebrows raise, "someone you like?" He asks.
Annabeth stares in the direction of the river, "yeah. I do."
Percy frowns, "me too. But...I don't know if she likes me the same way."
"You can't be sure. It's not like she said to your face that she doesn't want to be with you," Annabeth turns to face Percy. "Right?"
Percy's eyes lock with Annabeth's. "No, maybe not. But it sure does feel that way."
Cupid flies through the trees. After he played pinochle with Chiron, Mr.D and some new Hephaestus kid, he went to look for Percy or Annabeth. He was defiantly surprised when he saw them together.
"If it's me, I'm going to kill Aphrodite," Annabeth mutters.
"Why? She knows what she's doing. She'd probably set you up with someone good," Percy replies. Smart kid.
Annabeth sighs, "have you met Aphrodite?!"
"Yeah, personally infact." Personally? When was that?
"Whatever Percy. I already have someone I like. I don't need Aphrodite messing it up by pairing me with someone else." Somebody else.
Percy's eyebrows raise, "someone you like?" He asks.
Annabeth stares in the direction of the river, "yeah. I do."
Percy frowns, "me too. But...I don't know if she likes me the same way."
"You can't be sure. It's not like she said to your face that she doesn't want to be with you," Annabeth turns to face Percy. "Right?"
Percy's eyes lock with Annabeth's. "No, maybe not. But it sure does feel that way."
Cupid turns and flies away. Annabeth practically just told Percy he didn't like him. It was pretty obvious that Percy was talking about her. Being an Athena kid, Annabeth should've figured that out. Tomorrow he'd shoot one of them. But he had to go find Aphrodite right now. He flies towards the Empire State Building, looking down at mortals. He like that. Looking down at them, he knew that although he was only a minor god, he was better than them. Once he reaches the building, he flies through the entrance. He holds out his hand. "The key please?"
The guy looks up at him from his newspaper, yawns and tosses him the pass. Cupid quickly gets in the elevator just as Hermes is coming out. "Couldn't you just flash out?" He asks.
Hermes shrugs, "being a mortal for a day, I guess."
Cupid clicks the number and the elevator begins to go up. He listens to the elevator music. What was that? Boogie Wonderland? Seriously, Olympus needs to consider getting better songs.
Eros flies out if the elevator and to the throne room. Aphrodite is sitting on Ares's lap as she moves her fingers through his hair. Ares looks really bored as Aphrodite talks while he studies his sword...over and over.
Eros slowly flies in. They were the only two there, which was good for Eros...sorta.
Aphrodite looks up, her hand resting on Ares head. "Eros?" She asks at the same time Ares yells, "Something to kill!"
Aphrodite's voice was masked with hopefulness as she said his name. Oh yeah, Eros was still in his baby form. Eros flies up to them slowly. "Yeah?" He asks.
Aphrodite smiles. She opens up her arms and Eros accepts. Her arms are tight like she would never let go. She probably wouldn't have if Ares hasn't pried her hands off. "Come on babe, save some for me," he says.
Aphrodite rolls her eyes, "I'm sorry for yelling at you," she says, barely audible.
Ares looks up, "when'd you yell at me?"
"Not you! Eros."
Eros shrugs like it was nothing, "I'm sorry for changing from a two year-old to a thirty-something man from New Jersey. I thought it was cooler."
"So tell me, did you get them together yet?" Aphrodite asks.
"Tomorrow," Eros says yawning. "I've had a really tough day. First I had this interesting dream..."
