They are back
Andromeda p.o.v
I help Will in the infirmary. More and more campers keep coming in. This stupid war. Even though the Athena Parthenon was returned the tensions are high. I'm cranky, and exhausted. I've been healing people non-stop. I don't feel like dealing with any fights today Will gives me this look.
"Will I'm fine. You don't have to worry."
"Okay whatever you say your highness." He bows. I sinker at him, and throw a towel at him. Then my two favorite pranksters rush in.
"Andes there's a fight that broke out." Conner says worried.
"Have someone else deal with it." Then the ground shakes. Nico.
"Umm... Ande I think you should handle it." Travis rushes out.
"Go." I grumble fine at them and leave.
I'm dressed in full battle armor, just as I have been for the past couple of weeks. I have all my weapons out except my trident, that's in its locket form. There is a crowd formed around the fight. I'm sooooo not in the mood for this.
"Hey everyone move out the way." Nobody moves I get mad.
"I said move." Nobody moves again. I become furious.
"I SAID MOVE!" The ground shakes violently. Earthquake. Still nobody moves. "Fine, whatever." I stop the earthquake and form water. The water lifts me up and over the crowd.
I land in the middle of the commotion. I was right, it was Nico fighting some Roman. I look around the inner circle. Percy, Annabeth, Jason, Piper, Hazel, and Frank are here, but no Leo.
"Stop or things won't be pretty." I say in a demanding voice. Nobody stops. What's with people not listening today! I take out my trident from locket form. I cut the Roman's hand, and Nico's thigh with the rip of my trident. They drop their swords, and I douse them in water. I look more closely St the Roman. Of course it had to be Dakota. Nobody moves an inch. Now I'm going to say sometime. I step onto the box next to the boys. I put my trident up, and bring it down on the ground hard. Hard enough to create a crack.
"Listen up. I'm tired of all you guys fighting. We are all some type of family. So knock it off. I went to New Rome, so did Nico and Percy, and we're all friends with Romans'. Even Jason is a Roman and we treat him like a friend. So suck it up for the next couple of weeks. If I find out that both camps are fighting I swear to the Gods I will hurt you severely. Everybody got that!" They all murmur yeah.
"I said did everybody get that!"
"Yes ma'am." They all respond.
"Good." I jump down from the box.
The crowns disperses. I walk over to Dakota and Nico.
"Ande!" They say in unison, then death glare each other. Did I forget to mention that every guy, except Nico, has a crush on me? Yes, well now you know. I stand in front of them, and grab their ears pulling them up by the tip of their lobes.
"OW! OW! Ande stop!" I throw them into each other.
"What where you two thinking?!" I death glare them.
"Dakota started it!" I roll my eyes.
"No way, Nico started it!" Nico reaches for his sword. How are they so childish?
"And you both should've stopped. And Nico if you start this again I will have the pegasi trample you." He stops.
"Hug both of you now!" They awkwardly hug. I smile.
"There you happy Shipwreck." I shake my head at him.
"Sure am your ghostlyness." He curses in Italian, as Dakota hugs me.
"Ehem. Um sorry to interrupt, but who are you?" I turn and face Percy Jackson. So this is my incredible half brother. I try to introduce myself, but Dakota beats me to it.
"This amazing person is Andromeda Black. Daughter of Neptune. Queen of Sea Life. Greek and Roman. Daughter of a demigod." Nico nods along. I punch Dakota in the arm. Which he then rubs.
"Yeah that's about it. Except my dad is Poseidon, not Neptune. Dakota can get mixed up."
Percy just stares at me blankly. Annabeth jabs him in the stomach, while Frazel (Frank and Hazel, Totally ship it) are laughing their heads off. Nico is scowling, and Dakota still has his around my waist hugging me. What's wrong with Nico? I push Dark away. Then I get tackled from behind. Let me tell you getting tackled while wearing full body armor, and having all your weapons on hurts. Like a lot. Especially when you get tackled by your Cyclops brother, who can crush you.
"Ande!" I cough. And Ella jumps on top of us.
"Ugh, guys can't breath. Need oxygen!" I cough again. But Tyson holds on tighter than before.
"Tyson get off of Andromeda." Him and Ella get off. I can breath!
"Only cause you loveeeee her." Tyson laughs, and I stand up straight.
"Noooo.... I don't!" Nico? He looks at the ground. Everyone else except Percy and Annabeth are laughing. Then Annabeth smiles.
"Sure you don't." Annabeth's smile widens. Nico walks away.
"Great now you've done it Anna." Her smile widens even more. I roll my eyes at her. Then I get tackled AGAIN!
What's with people tackling me!? The wind is knocked out of me for a second time.
"HOLY POSEIDON I HAVE A SISTER!" I smile.
"Percy getta off me!" He stands up. Then I do. Everyone is laughing at us. I smile and laugh too. Fine now it's time for a taste of their own medicine. I run and tackle all of them.
"Ow, Ande get offa us." I shake my head.
"Andromeda, pleeaase get off of us." Piper says in charmspeak.
"Hey beauty queen charmspeak doesn't work on me. My grandma is Aphrodite." I roll off them anyways.
Percy, Tyson, Dakota, and Ella are laughing on the ground.
"What's with Poseidon children being sassy." Anna says.
"It's in our genes. Besides if you don't like us. Then stop hanging out with us sister." I snap my fingers. And then wink at her.
Then the dinner horns go off. I didn't realize it was this late. I look over at Tyson. Then at Percy. All three of us have a sparkle in our eyes.
"Race ya to the dinner pavilion." Percy smirks.
"You're on Fish Face." Then we're off. We race across the entire camp.
When we make it to the pavilion I'm even more exhausted. Running in body armor is extremely tiring. We get in line, get our food, and sit down. Everyone goes to their tables. Tyson, Percy, Ella, and I start a conversation. I'm mostly quiet. Listening to Percy's stories. I look for Nico the entire time. He doesn't show up for the rest of dinner. This worries me. I see Mr. D get up. He congratulates the seven of their marvelous job. If only Leo was here. Nothing about Nico helping though. Which upsets me that my bff can't even be mention, even though he Marjory helped on the quest. I zone out. Then I hear my name. I snap up, and look at Chiron.
"Um, sorry sir I didn't hear you. Can you say it again?" Mr. D repeats himself but in Greek. Something about a toast. I don't know, I wasn't really paying attention, and I'm tired so I don't care.
"Well um okay. So I would like to make a toast to the new Greek and Roman alliance. Hora? Am I done now? I'm kinda tired." I look at Mr. D, he sighs.
"Yes Andromeda you're done. You may be dismissed." I stand up, and walk out when someone coughs favorite camper. I turn around.
"Well duh. You just noticed." I flip my hair and re-turn around.
I'm laying in bed, but I can't sleep. Percy and Tyson are both snoring. I get up not bothering to change out of my green fluffy pj shorts, and v-neck Justice League pj shirt. Something is nagging me. But I can't figure out what it is. I walk to the small lagoon that Nico and I found, humming 'Stitches' by Shawn Mendes to myself. I have a variety of tastes don't judge me. When I get there I find I'm not alone. A figure in black is standing there skipping rocks. I smile. I should've known he would've come here. I sneak up behind him. Hopefully he doesn't hear me. I go to jump on his back, but he turns around.
"Ow! Really Shipwreck?" I open my eyes, and stare deeply into his.
"You ruined my plan!" We are so close right now.
My heart is beating so fast in my chest. I could just tilt my head a little and lean forward to kiss him. Kiss him? I stand up quickly. Andromeda get those thoughts out of your head. 1) He doesn't like you. 2) He's your best friend. 3) He won't feel the same way about you when you tell him your whole story. 4) He had a crush on you brother. What makes you think he'll choose you. I shake my head.
"I'm sorry Nico for making you fall. And I'm sorry about them teasing you earlier." He looks at me puzzled, as I stretch my hand out for him. He takes it and pulls himself up. Again we're so close. Then he steps back. I release my breath I didn't know I was holding. Di Immortals why does he have to be so hot, and flirty.
"Andromeda you have nothing to apollogize for." I open my mouth to speak, but he steps forward and puts his finger on my lips. I involuntarily shiver. WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME! Nico smirks, and moves closer to my ear.
I can feel the heat radiating offa him. My heart is beating so fast it feels like I'm about to have a heart attack.
"My dear you could never do anything that would seem wrong." His lips graze my ear as he speaks. Then he pulls back, a smirk still evident on his face. So that's how he's going to play, well two can play his little game. Then I smirk at him.
I move forward, and he moves back until he hits the wall. I put my hand on both sides of Nico. I lean in close to his ear, and whisper, "since when am I your dear?" Nico shivers, as my lips linger by his neck. Nico flips us, so now I'm the one pinned.
"How about since always." My heart takes over. I tilt my head, revealing some skin. Then Nico kisses my neck. He stops and backs up while shaking his head.
"I'm so sorry Ande." I want to comfort him, but he shadow travels away before I get the chance to.
"AGH!" I scream out it in frustration. I cover my mouth, and sprint back to my cabin. Hopefully the cleaning harpies didn't hear me. That would be bad.
Nico p.o.v
I lay on my bed in the Hades cabin. All the lights are dim, so it seems like I'm asleep. But I can't, all I can think about is what just happened. Why did she shiver? Why did I call her My Dear? Out of all the names, my dear was the one I choose. Why did I graze her ear? Why did she graze my neck? Why did I say since always? She was never mine to begin with. Yet why do I feel so jealous when other guys look at her? Or flirt with Andromeda? Why did I kiss her neck? Why did I blush when Tyson said I loved her? So many unanswered questions!
I throw my pillow across my cabin. The things this girl does to me. What's with me for falling for the children of Poseidon?! Well Percy didn't like Mythomagic. I smile at the thought of Ande. Her amazingly curly Auburn hair, sparkling sea-green eyes, amazing lean body, the way she fights, the way she lights up my day, the way she smiles not for show but the rare chances when she smiles with her eyes too, the way she sings when no ones around, the way she doesn't let the darkness in, and how she's had so many bad things happen to her yet she always comes back to me, and most importantly how she loves Mythomagic.
I bury my head and scream. I look out my window and see a tiny shadow on top of a cabin. I look closer and see it's Ande. I smile and lay down drifting off to sleep.
