"What?!" I demanded. Percy looked uncomfortable. We were currently in the Poseidon cabin. He was leaning against the wall, and I was leaning on him while he recounted what Hermes said.
"Yeah, apparently they're watching us right now."
"And they watch us in our sleep?"
"Well, we don't do anything-"
"That's not the point! It's not like some girl is going to just stroll in and try to kidnap you." I snapped. Percy sighed, and wrapped his arms around me.
"I know, but he was just warning us. If we go out into the mortal world, we have to stay together."
"And if it's at camp?"
"We push them away or tell Chiron and the Aphrodite cabin. I think they have one Aphrodite Rangers headquarter under their cabin."
"They - they have one under their cabin?" I asked faintly.
Percy grinned. "Yup, but we've got each other." I turned around so that I faced him, and wrapped my arms around his neck.
"I love you." I whispered.
"I love you too." Then he kissed me, and the world melted away so that it was just us.

"You are, like, just so hot!" My best friend Amelia squealed. I observed the full-length mirror in front of me. A strange girl stared back at me. She was wearing a tight dark blue dress that had a white bow on the waist. Her hourglass figure was pronounced even more by the stiffness of the dress, and how it went down to her ankles, making it look like she was stuck in a box. Her breasts spilled over the dress which made her look like a slut, but I didn't care.
"Look! Chanel just released a new perfume!" Amelia gleed, but I ignored her and continued to stare into the mirror. The girl's eyes were a sparkling blue, and her hair cascaded down her back in creamy brown waterfalls. She had foundation on to cover up the hideous freckles, and a wide smile with teeth as bright as the sun.
This is me. I thought to myself. I could get any boy I want... "Hello? Cass?" Amelia was waving a hand in front of my face.
"Yeah?" I demanded, pulling my gaze away from the mirror.
"Lets go get you a date!" She cried, and started to drag me out of the door.
"Are you sure?" I laughed.
She stopped to look at me. "Are you insane, girl? Those boobs will get you any guy you want!" I grinned.
"I guess so..." And I let her drag me out of the door.

We strutted around the mall, eyeing boys who fell at my feet. I shared a few kisses, swagged my hips a bit, and got numbers. But then I saw the one.
A boy was lonely sitting in a booth at Starbucks, as though he were waiting for someone. Probably me. Anyway, he had these adorable sea green eyes that I could stare into for days. His jet black hair was ruffled and I felt like I could smooth my hands over it. Oh my god, [gods* Stupid mortals.] is that an eight pack?
I stalked over there and put on my brightest smile. "Hey babe." I purred, and ran my hand down his arm.
"Go away, I'm not interested." Hottie said, sounding bored.
"But I'll make you scream my name." I promised.
"Uh ... I would scream you name, but with: 'Go away stupid mortal!'."
"Well then, how about-" there was a blow horn-like sound, and something pierced my arm. I turned to look at it, my vision blurring. My legs collapsed from underneath me, and I could just make out the dart sticking out of my arm before the world faded.

"WAKE UP YOU FILTHY MORTAL!" Someone shrieked in my ear. I groaned, and my eyes fluttered open. A very angry girl was standing over me. "You listen here. Don't you ever think about breaking up my best friend and her boyfriend. Ever. If you do, I'll personally get Aphrodite to make your love life interesting. Got it?"
"What?" I mumbled. "Who-?"
"SHUT UP! You were not asked to speak, so SHUT THE HADES UP!"
I whimpered in fear. Then the girl came into focus. Her hair was spiky and jet black, with a blue streak. She had scary electric blue eyes, and a silver tiara on her head. Her hands held a small dart gun, and a bow and quiver of arrows was slung over her back. She wore a silver hunting jacket, and looked just about ready to murder me.
"Now. Go die in a hole." The scary princess said, and I nodded my head, before standing up in the deserted mall, and exiting.

A/N: please don't kill me! I know I haven't updated in a week, and this isn't very good, but the truth is ... I am Iron Man.
Oops. No, I'm not Iron Man, but still. I've been a bit busy with school, and there was a spelling test that I forgot practice for... Yeah. And I only got 55%. >.<
And then I was going to finish writing and editing two nights ago, but I was tired. And now I guess I was working on another story, because on my Instagram, people are complaining that I need to update The Endless Void of Ouranos.
Yeah. Expect another update in hopefully a few days time, because tomorrow I'm busy, and in the weekend my cousins are coming down.
