PERCY

"I hate you" I moaned "I really hate you"

"No, you don't" Kronos snorted "Now stop whining, and get your ass up that bed"

"Do I have to?" I whined, burrowing deeper into my bed "I don't want to see them yet"

"You asked for this" Kronos huffed "Stop whining before I carry you out of this cabin while you're still wearing your Finding Dory Pajamas."

"Try me" I huffed

Kronos groaned, and plopped down beside my buried head "Percy, come on. The others are waiting"

"Then let them wait"

"Percy" Kronos warned "Get your ass of this bed before I throw you out, and chain you to the damn meeting table..."

"Okay okay" I sat up, scowling at him

"Don't you dare scowl at me, mister" Kronos chided "I told you of what might happen if you ever do what you planned, but you still proceeded with it. If you are going to point fingers, point it at yourself"

I deflated at that "I'm sorry. It's just that I might snap again, you know. After what happened at the throne room yesterday... I'm feeling really down. I basically told them to fuck off and even ignored them like air..."

I threw my arms around my pillow "I can't do it!" I cried "I was really mean to them yesterday!!"

Kronos sighed "Percy, get up. I won't repeat myself again"

I pouted, but nonetheless stood up and stomped towards the bathroom

"You are such a child" Kronos groaned from behind me

I whirled around and stuck my tongue out at him, before shutting the bathroom door at his face

I sighed under the spray of water, recalling how everything went down

-FLASHBACK-

Everything was silent, all staring at me with wide eyes, new campers recognizing me from the various photos on the Big House. The councilors and the Olympians who still doesn't know that I was alive, was looking at me like I was some kind of exotic artifact that is being presented for the first time; they look at me with a mix of wonder and surprise.

I slowly lowered my hand, and went to squeeze Kronos' arm when he shifted to cover me a bit when the silence continued, taking the quietness as a bad sign

Luke couldn't take it anymore, pushing his Father away who was hugging him tightly "Well...?"

That seemed to snap everyone out of their shock, because the councilors rushed forward, eyes bright with happiness, and arms opened wide for a hug

"PERCY!!"

Oh no.

I could feel my emotions stirring as it sense the people who destroyed my life coming closer.

"Stop" My cold voice echoed inside the throne room, making the councilors halt in their steps, and the Gods freezing from standing up from their thrones "Stay where you are"

"Perce...?" Thalia called hesitantly

"It's Perseus to you, Ms. Grace" I huffed out

Hurt flashed through her eyes, and I waited for the feeling of guilt to eat me out, but it never came. Instead, I felt a sick sense of satisfaction for making her feel like that. A thought coming across my mind that makes me cringe as it whispered to me

'Good. You deserve to feel that after everything'

I stared at Kronos with wide scared eyes, arms tightening around his arm, as the thought registered inside me.

I thought of something mean towards someone important to me.

I'm becoming what End wanted me to be.

I felt my lips trembling, and bless my grandfather because he seems to catch on what was going on because he enclosed his arms around me, murmuring comfort that it was normal, and that I wasn't evil.

"I told them off" I whispered yell at him, eyes wide with apprehension "It's like End all over again!!"

"No, it's not" Kronos assured me "Are you planning on world domination?"

I snorted a bit "Of course not!"

"Do you want to mutilate them on the spot? Murder them? Annihilate their sorry-asses?"

"No!" I huffed

"Then, you're okay" Kronos patted my arm "Trust me. This is a normal occurrence when a flaw is damaged-especially one like yours. Relax"

"Relax?!" I silently exclaimed at him, eyes darting around the room "How am I supposed to relax with the knowledge that I might beat the living shit out of the people here?!!"

"You're just overreacting, Percy" Kronos rolled his eyes "This is normal, okay? Okay? Good."

I just blew a breath, trying to assemble whatever calmness I still had in me

"Percy?" Nico was slowly walking towards me, hands shaking as he tried to touch me

I recoiled before he could even do it "Distance, please. You're too close."

A flash of hurt passed Nico's face, and he gulped down the tears "I'm sorry... for everything"

The shakiness didn't deter me-well, maybe it did for a bit

"It doesn't matter"

"But it is!!" Nico pleaded "Please, I'm so sorry!!"

"Did my sorry back then made you come back to me?" I raised a brow at him "Did my countless apologies and groveling made you forgive me-forgive me for something I didn't even know I did and something I couldn't have prevented?"

Nico flinched

"I thought as much" I scoffed, feeling mortification as the words spilled itself out of my mouth "What makes you think that you're sorry will make everything alright?"

"W-we were wrong"

"W-we didn't m-mean-" Thalia tried to speak

"Didn't mean? You didn't mean what you did?!" I scoffed, honestly feeling shock that she would even say that; broken flaw aside "I'm... speechless. Honestly, from all the things that you could have said, that is what you picked?"

Thalia flinched with the others

I scoffed out a laugh "Of course. You guys are as clean as the color of the sky. How could I forget that? The flying stones that came at me, the jeering and insults about my literal existence in this world, the numerous shoves and beatings, the countless blames I got for everyone that died in the wars, the assumption of me killing my own lover- of course you didn't mean that. You're body just moved on its own, right? You're mind just automatically assumed that I was not worth anything, am I correct? Please do tell me where I'm wrong, cause it seems like you're actually saying that you didn't do anything wrong, Ms. Grace"

Sarcasm was leaking out of my voice like a broken faucet

"We're sorry" Thalia tried to beg "Please give us a chance, please!"

"Shut up!" Kronos snapped, sensing my inner turmoil "Dare and speak anymore, spawn of Zeus and you'll deeply regret it."

Kronos cradled my head closed to his neck, glaring at the group of demigods that were trying to inch closer

I stifled a sniff as I clutched at his sleeves tightly

"Son?" Dad laid a hand over my head, looking at me worriedly

"I don't wanna talk" My voice came out muffled since I was stuffing my face on Kronos' neck, but I didn't care. I just knew that if I looked at their faces, I'll break.

I'll snap and cry.

I'll remember all their sneering faces as they beat me down until I can't stand anymore.

I suppressed a whimper, distress clear in my voice as I spoke quietly to my grandfather "I wanna go. I don't want to talk..."

"Percy, please" Connor pleaded "We're sorry..."

"I don't want to talk" I gritted out, face stuffed on Kronos' neck, determined to not look at them while I was feeling this way.

They don't deserve that. Not from anyone, and certainly, not from someone like me.

I lifted my eyes up, staring up at Kronos pleadingly "Let's go... please..."

Kronos stared at me, then at my dad who just nodded his head, resigned to the fact that not everything will run back smoothly-that not everything will go back the way it was before just because they were feeling sorry about everything.

I've already forgiven them a long time ago, but a man can only endure so much before he breaks. I need time-time to settle my emotions down, and talk myself out of the fear that I might hurt someone because I was careless as to get possessed by some evil brother of Chaos, and coming back from it with a broken flaw. Yeah, not exactly a good recipe for fixing what was broken a century ago with the people who I once called family.

Kronos tilted his head towards the door to the twin archers before leading me out, his scowl enough to scare the demigods away from our path

"Percy!" Nico tried to come forward, but a glare from Zoe made him backtracked a little

"Did you not hear what he said, boy?" Zoe hissed "He said that he does not want to talk to any you at the moment. Respect his wishes, he's done enough in one day..."

"That's right" Michael piped in, crossing his arms over his chest "Percy has already given you what you want, and that is showing you who he is. Don't push your luck."

"If any of you so much as try and do something that Percy doesn't want you to do..." Ethan settled his hand on one of his knives, eyes glinting dangerously "Allies at the moment be damned, I will fucking skewer you"

-FLASHBACK ENDED -

"You ready?" Luke clasped my shoulder

"No"

"Too bad" Ethan shrugged, opening the door of the Big House "You wanted this... you got it"

"Do you secretly have a grudge against me, Ethan?" I frowned at him "Because you're seriously not helping my case right now"

"I'm only stating out facts" Ethan raised a brow "Did we not talk to you before you made your decision? I went along since it wouldn't hurt my not existing reputation in this damn camp since I was never here for long for anyone to remember me. We weighted the pros and cons, and even tried to talked you out of it since we could see that you weren't ready. You stayed firm and stubborn as ever, and now you're reaping the fruits of your poorly made decision. You can't say that I don't have the right to point you out on that one"

"I hate you" I muttered, not being able to say anything back at him since I know what he said was right. They did try to talk me out of it, saying that it would be a bad idea, especially now that I was in the middle of a crisis about how I can fix my broken flaw and all

"No, you don't" Ethan gestured for me to come inside, eyebrows raised

"Yeah, but I can still say it" I crossed my arms, not budging from my spot

"Whatever makes you sleep better" Ethan smirked, slinking towards me and dragging me by the arm inside "Now stop standing in front of the door and just get in. No one's going to eat you, they're just going to stare at you and babble about how idiotic they were in the past, nothing bad..."

I snorted "Yeah, nothing bad..."

-FAST-FORWARD -

"I hate you" I muttered to Ethan who was next to me, trying and failing to ignore the pleading stares that were being drilled at the side of my head as I listen to Kronos discussing about how we should barricade the east side of the camp since a majority of the shelters for children who can't fight were there

"You've said that to me for like the hundredth time today" Ethan rolled his eyes "Ignore them, they'll get tired of staring at you like you abandoned them under a bridge when they were a baby, if you ignore them long enough"

"That's oddly specific" I wrinkled my nose

Ethan just shrugged "And I'm hoping that with my 'oddly specific' idea, you are going to just sit calmly in your seat and elegantly ignore them for the rest of the meeting"

"It's hard" I hissed at him "There's like a thousand pair of eyes staring at me from every direction. It's creepy!!"

Ethan sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose "Okay, fine. Let me handle this"

"Thank you" I suppressed the urge to sagged down on the chair with relief

Ethan turned to Luke and muttered something to him real quick before settling back on his seat

I watched with confusion as Luke nodded and stood up from his seat, going over to where Kronos was bent down on the table, mouth moving and fingers pressed down at the map as he pointed out where they need the most of the campers and where they need it less

"What did you tell him?"

"A way for the campers to make them stop staring at you like you're the most hype thing there is since people thought that wifi were a miracle sent by heaven"

I stared at him with anticipation

Ethan stared back

"Well...?" I prompted, urging him with my eyes to just tell me instead of looking back at me, like it's the only thing he can do in this world

"You'll see" Ethan turned back to Kronos, who, to my surprise, is still going on about positions and what-not. I tried to not let my amazement to his ability to focus for several hours without moving an inch from where he was, show in my face

"I don't want to wait and see, just tell me" I whined, shaking his arm for good measure

"Just wait until the meetings over"

I gaped at him "That would take forever!! Do you even know of Kronos ability to rant for hours without stopping? This war meeting could take an entire day; my butt is already numb for sitting too long. Also the reason that I even talked to you during a meeting is because I am feeling uncomfortable at being stared at like I am some... some kind of new exotic thing that needs to be analyze at every corner, and I don't know about you, but I am certainly not okay with it!!"

I didn't even realize that I've raised my voice loud enough for all the occupants of the room to hear. I closed my mouth, and cleared my throat, waving for Kronos to continue his talk

Kronos just stared at me from under his hood, golden eyes glowing with concern "Do you want to finish this tomorrow, Percy?"

It wasn't like Kronos was chastising me with that question, but I sink into my seat, wishing for it to swallow me until no one can see me anymore "No. It's fine. Ethan and I were just talking about some trivial matters. No need to put our plans on hold for something as me raising my voice during your rant-I mean talk. Not that I was saying that you were just ranting, it's obvious that you were talking about important things, like planning on how to win this war. So, I am really sorry for interrupting whatever it is I interrupted-not that I wasn't listening which isn't the case since I was totally listening about what you were talking about...and yeah, shutting myself up now" I zipped my lips, chuckling awkwardly as the staring doubled through my rant

"Okay..." Kronos stared at me for another second, but relented when I shot him a pleading gaze "Malcolm, this spot right here..."

I breathed a sigh of relief when all the staring ceased when Kronos began talking again

Ethan was biting his lips to suppress the snicker, as well as the Elites, minus the girls and Beckfendorf.

"You didn't tell him anything, did you?" I accused

Luke snickered "He did told me something; to make you stop moaning about everything"

I spluttered, indignant in the face of their amusement

I narrowed my eyes at Ethan "You did that on purpose. You made me raise my voice so that the campers could hear me and my complaints-"

"Hey, at least it solve the problem" Ethan shrugged, smirking at my face. The bastard.

"You think this funny, huh?" I gave them a smile, though my brows were twitching with annoyance "Since you think that my previous situation was so funny, I am hoping that taking care of Skia would be fun as well. You three are now assigned to care for Skia for a week. As she is to accompany us into battle, Skia requested that someone attended to her needs here as her current assistant will not be able to accompany her on her journey to earth; I sincerely hope you all the best of luck"

I turned back to Kronos, ignoring the look of horror that crossed the said men's faces when I said that.

I gave a smirk when I thought of what they would experience in the next few days, and snickered to myself the more I thought about it.

Skia, my beautiful and faithful partner. She, as many would like to put it is very choosy on who would like to look after her, since she doesn't trust easily-and is incredibly known for her temper. Being known for her aggressiveness and status in the mythical world, one could not even say her name without trembling-either with fear or frustration... in my part.

Skia was feared throughout time, but as seasons changed, people began considering her as only a myth, nothing more than the pigment of men's imagination.

I snorted at that.

When I first met her, I wished with my utmost sincerity that she was.

"Percy, you're kidding right?" Michael looked at me with wide eyes

I shrugged

"Come on, Perce" Luke weakly begged "Don't be like that"

I rolled my eyes "You're overreacting. It's not like she would eat you-"

"No, but she would burn us" Ethan supplied

"Guys, Skia is violent, we all know that. We also know that she doesn't hate you, which means you're safe to take care of her for a week-just a week. You need only to serve to her in that time and all will be well. All of us know that she only requested that of me because she is unfamiliar with the place, give her a week, and she would not even want your service again. Besides, she rarely asks for help despite having an... assistant to help her with everything" I said, not even looking at them "You worry too much"

"Assistant?" Ethan snorted "Percy, it's called a servant"

I stared at him with horror, and smacked him hard on the head, ignoring his exclaim of pain "Did you have to phrase it in such a vulgar way?"

"What did you want me to call them?" Ethan huffed "I know one when I see one"

"They're called helpers, Ethan" I glared "Calling them servants... I don't like it."

Ethan faltered at my glare, and muttered a sorry under his breath

"Now, all of you, stop whining and start listening to what Kro-uh, Augustine is saying" I scolded, focusing back on what was being said

"Oh, we certainly will not" Luke dramatically sniffed, hands covering his face as he wailed silently "You are leading us to our doom, all because we laughed at you. How cruel you have become, my friend."

I snorted "Stop it. You sound ridiculous"

"Why are you even bringing her here?" Michael complained "Just let her access your mind for her to memorize the landscape"

"No" I denied, smirking at him "That would put the idea of letting her get used to the campers' scent... fruitless"

"Can't you take care of her?" Michael whined "She's your responsibility. Why are you dumping us with duties that should be done by you?"

"Amen" Luke clasped his hands together firmly in front of him while closing his eyes

"Either you take care of Skia or accompany Tartarus in his temporary trip down to his very much of a humble abode-your choice" I raised a challenging brow at them

"I hate you" Ethan admitted, looking at me with deadpan eyes "I really hate you"

"Oh, come on Ethan" I shoved him playfully "It won't be that bad"

"Try and be on our shoes" Michael whined

"I already had" I grinned "Now, it's your turn"

"I hate you" Michael whined

"Why are we friends again?" Luke questioned, pouting at me

"Because no one else would put up with your bullshits as much as I do" I bluntly replied

Luke hummed "You're right"

"To be fair, we also put up with you" Michael jokingly put out

I glared at him playfully

-BREAK-

I brightened a bit once I saw my trusted, though annoying at times partner. I jogged forward, and wrapped my arms around her snout as best as I could, ignoring the steam that escape her nostril as she exhaled her greeting

"Skia!" I pulled back, smiling at her "How are you?"

'I am well, my friend' She snorted 'It was of my utmost annoyance that I had to deal with numerous fools in the days you were gone. The palace was boring as no one would even dare come within a meter from me'

"They had a right to be cautious though" I supplied, grinning at her growl "You're not exactly famous for your patience and caring nature"

Skia just huffed 'It is not my fault that they are born cowards'

I just chuckled at that

'Now Perseus, would you kindly inform me as to why you have summoned for my presence in this wretched place?'

"Skia" I warned, gaze narrowing "Careful of what you say, this 'wretched place' was once my home, and it will always will be"

'I apologize if I had offended you, but my opinion stands' Skia just stared back at me with calmness 'This planet, this place-the very ground that I am standing at is where your suffering took place. I simply cannot fathom the fact that you are willing to fight for people who once abandoned you-killed you even!'

"They have learnt their lesson" I softly replied, patting her snout "Than is more than enough"

'Your heart is still as kind as when we first met, young one' Skia smiled 'It never cease to amaze me how much you can let go and forgive despite the so many misgivings of others. It takes quite amount of courage to move forward without letting the past hold one back, and I admire you for that trait.'

"Well, you did choose me as your master" I smiled

'Indeed.' Skia nodded 'I chose well'

I blushed at that. I cleared my throat, trying to will it away in case anyone was looking "Right... so, down to business. Can you please change your form to not shock the others?"

'They have a dragon guarding their borders' Skia stated as if she was trying to make me understand that them seeing her would not be that much of a surprise

"Yes, I know that" I pouted at her, seriously offended by the non-verbal insult

'Then I do not understand why you are asking me to change form'

"Because...!!" I flailed my hands, trying to put whatever it is I want to say into words

'Because...?'

"I don't know..." I sighed "... to let the campers settle themselves first that there is some believed myth inside their borders, standing in front of them, I guess?"

'I fail to understand your reasons, Perseus, much more when you ended your sentence as a question' Skia sighed 'I had thought that several months of being under the direct jurisdiction of Kronos would help widen your vocabulary, but is seems like all it did was worsen it.'

"What does my vocabulary have to do with anything?!" I spluttered

'Everything' Skia tutted with disapproval 'A prince must know how to string his words properly; and need I remind you that a royal does not splutter and flail like a fish out of the water. It seems like I would need to reteach you everything once more-'

"What?!" I screeched, now completely forgetting whatever it is I was asking of her "That's not fair!"

'A future king does not whine' Skia reprimanded

I pouted

'Nor do they pout.'

"Forget whatever it is that I had planned" I grumbled "You can go back to the kingdom and guard it. I'm sure that our people needs you more than you are needed here."

'Perseus!!'

I groaned, suppressing the urge to bang my head on the nearest surface possible.

-BREAK-

"How are you liking camp so far?" I asked, trying to peer at Skia's face as she walked beside me, now in human form.

Skia in human form is plainly... magnificent. The way her fiery red locks sway with the wind, her petite figure that could be easily mistaken for as fragileness, but in all honesty, can break a man in half with just one snap of her arm. Her eyes that were the color of one of the rainbow-a pure indigo that could make you feel as if she can stare into your soul through your eyes... which she can by the way. Not to mention, the stunningly golden silver flower in her back that has been continuously blooming ever since I first made the contract with her.

Skia hmmph "It does not matter to you what my opinion is of the place, why bother ask?"

"You're still mad?" I whine "I was just joking when I said that you can go back-"

"Do you not know that you must never invite a lady, only to tell her that she can go back once she arrives-jokes aside?" Skia glowered

"Why do you take things so seriously?" I crossed my arms

"It makes my life easier"

I furrowed my brows "How?"

"None of your business"

I pouted

"Put that pout away, Perseus. You look ridiculous"

"You're being extra mean today"

"Who's fault is that?"

"You?" I jokingly answered

Skia swiveled to glare at me, and I raised my hands up to show I surrender "Woah! I was just kidding"

Skia huffed, and marched towards our cabin

"What did you do?" Zoe looked unimpressed as she gazes at me from where she was sitting on the couch when I came in

I surveyed the room, and bit back a cry when I realize that no one was there but us two

"Nothing, I swear!"

Zoe just hummed, not breaking her gaze from me "I'm waiting"

"Why did you immediately assumed that I did something?"

"Skia was near murderous when she barged in"

"Isn't she always like that though?"

Zoe raised a brow, eyes judging me from where she was

"Stop staring at me!!" I whined "I didn't do anything. I just did my usual... joking and having fun. She was already annoyed when she arrived, I might have just amplified the emotion, is all"

"You might just have enhanced her current emotion by being the idiot that I know you are" Zoe deadpan "There are so many things wrong in that sentence, but it doesn't surprise me that it fits you so well"

"Why are you all being so mean to me today?"

"We're not"

"Everyone is always reprimanding me, or telling me to take things seriously"

Zoe sighed "It's not their fault, Percy. We are at war, and no one knows what the outcome will be-not even the fates can assure that we will win. It's a natural coping mechanism to do what your instinct tells you to do at a time like this. Yours just happen to goof around, the others... not so much"

"And Skia?" I asked, feeling remorse course through me as I felt that I didn't take my job as leader seriously. We are at war. I shouldn't forget that, but I did. All because I was too busy skirting around my so many issues.

"The usual" Zoe waves a hand "No need to fret"

I took a seat across from her, mood now somber

"Do you think that we'll win?"

Zoe looked at me, trying to decipher what I was thinking, but I kept my face blank

"What do you think?"

"In all honesty?" I looked at my clasp fingers

Zoe nodded

"The chances are not exactly in... our favour right now" I exhaled

"Why do you think so?"

"Aside from worrying about winning this war, the gods and campers are also trying to wrap their mind in not just me being alive, but also the fact that I cannot even see them without wanting to hurl something at them. They don't know of my current predicament about my flaw, and in their point of view, I hold a grudge deeper than the Mariana Trench. They can't fully place their trust on me as of the moment because they're worried I might stab them in the back-throwing all stealth aside, maybe they're even thinking that I'll outright stab them in the front."

"Don't you mean that they're too worried about how they can get you to forgive them?" Zoe suggested

"That too"

There was a moment of silence in the room, both of us contemplating on how we all can move forward without the past dragging us down

"What are you going to do?"

I looked up "What do you mean?"

"Stop trying to skirt around the issue, Perseus. I know that you know what I'm talking about"

I bit my lip, looking down again, not able to meet her eyes "I don't know"

"Percy"

I lifted my head up

"You can't always run"

My breath hitched, and I felt my eyes water "I can, and I will"

"And you think that will solve anything?" Zoe leaned forward "Percy, I am not trying to dissuade you from your decision to avoid the campers and the gods, but I am telling you that nothing will come out of it. You made your choice to reveal yourself to everyone, and you need to go through with it. Need I remind you that we are going to war, you and them can't possibly fight together when one of you are too afraid to be in the presence of the other."

"I know that!!" I stood up, fists clench into fists "It's just that every time I see one of them, I don't see them as the people who were my family, but the people who condemned me for something that I have no power over to!! I forgave them a long time ago, I've even made peace with people who did far worse than them, but with my broken flaw, it sees them as nothing as traitors who abandoned us. My flaw is screaming for justice, and is making me experience an emotional turmoil, one of which I cannot possibly handle if this continue any longer. I want to be able to talk to them like I do with you and the others Zoe, believe me in that, but the thing here..." I clutched my chest, eyes showing how much the situation pains me "It beats with rage that I didn't know I had. I want to see them pay for what they did, but at the same time, another part of me is screaming that they had already suffered enough. I don't know which part to listen to, because this time, I am assured that no one is influencing me. What I'm feeling is purely me, and that scares me because I never knew that I can even feel this way towards someone."

I breathed heavily after that, and I plopped down back on the sofa, head encased between my hands

"I'm sorry that you have to feel that way, Percy. I really do." Zoe patted my shoulder in a show of comfort "But, I really advise that you talk to them before everything goes downhill. The war won't wait for you to get your bearings, Percy. War waits for no one, and this one is just around the corner. Settle things between each other, because you never know if you will have that chance again"

Zoe left me sitting on the couch with one last pat

I sighed, and wiped a hand over my face in distress.

Mind going a mile a minute, I nodded resolutely to myself and stood up to marched towards the Big House.

Chiron welcomed me with a confused expression "Perseus? I was not informed that there will be another war meeting today"

I shook my head, smiling a little "There isn't. Can you please call the councilors and the Olympians?"

Chiron still looking confused, but nonetheless nodded his head and ushered me inside.

I sat at the head table, tapping my fingers against the wooden table rhythmically, eyes staring blankly at the wall in front of me

I heard the flashes and the door open without breaking my gaze from the wall

"You called for us?" Zeus took a tentative sit in one of the chairs

I nodded

Thalia tried to sit with beside me, but I swiveled my stare to her and she changed course.

"Why did you call for us? Did you need anything?" Nico inquired, eyes bright with hope

I settled back on the chair with a sigh. I squared my shoulders, and I leveled them with an even stare.

"We need to talk"

A/N:

Happy New Year!!

I'm really sorry for the long wait. I've been busy, and I still am, so I didn't have the time to write this chapter. I'm sorry if there are some errors, I rushed it so I can give it to you all as a late Christmas present. J

I can't guarantee when I would be able to update again, but I hope that you stick with me up until the end.
