I really hope she stays ignorant for a little while longer. I can't lose my daughter, even if she has to go to camp.
Poseidon's POV
I can sense my daughter in my domain, every time she came I could sense her, I wish I could go to her, I am afraid that my brothers will kill her. I can't allow that to happen. I will do whatever it takes to protect her.
I have made my decision. I am going to her. She won't even know I am there.
I swim to her location, I see her running and laughing, a boy chasing her, also laughing. I recognize him. Triton. My muscles tense, I can't hear anything around me, my hands start to shake, my heart rate increases. I am angry, beyond that. 'How dare he approach her!'
I wish I can throttle him at this moment. I would've, had it not been for Rhea being here. Triton could've killed her had he not liked her and I would not have known. Or I would have been too late in saving her.
"Come on Rhea, you can't catch me" I hear Triton, my heir, egging Rhea on to catch him.
I feel my anger increase. 'He can spend time with her, but I can't'. The waves around me are becoming more erratic. My presence becoming known, Triton looks at me with fearful eyes.
"Father" I can see him whisper in shock. Rhea senses something, she looks at Triton. "Is everything okay? Are you alright? You look sick". 'She really has a kind heart' I think, loving her even more. I wish she could come live me in Atlantis, she will be safe there. Once she is grown I would have to protect her from not only the mermen but the humans as well.
"I'm fine Rhea. Why don't you go play with your mom a bit. I just remembered that I need to go somewhere. I can't be late" Triton tells her shakily.
He better be here quick, he has some explaining to do.
I see Triton walking towards me after Rhea leaves.
"Father" he says, bowing.
"What do you think you are doing? Approaching MY daughter?" I seethe.
"Father, I...I sensed one of your children. I wanted to see what they looked like, but then I discovered you have a daughter. I've always wanted a sister. I wanted to get to know her. Sally knows who I am. Father please forgive me, I did not mean to offend you".
My anger deflates a little. "You should've asked before you approached her. All these years I have kept her hidden. You will not be the reason that my brothers discover her".
