Sixteen

Apologies and Spies

Silena looked at me, noticing I was staring at Jyoti and Logan as if I've seen a ghost. Silena snapped her fingers as well and we were both shocked. "What, did I miss something?" Logan asked. "No, it's nothing.." I said, trailing off. I snapped my fingers again to turn off the auras.

"Kuuipo, can I talk to you for a sec?" Noah asked. I shyly nodded and we walked to the deck in silence.

"I'm sorry." he mumbled as soon as we got there. "No, I'm sorry. If I wasn't stupid enough to go to the party as a way to get over Logan, none of this would've happened. If I wasn't dumb enough to even like him, things would've turned out differently."

"It's not your fault. I overreacted over something that the fates put upon this relationship. I fully understand and I'm not mad. It's not like you cheated or anything." He chuckled. I giggled and we hugged.

"Are we all good? No more secrets?" I said. He nodded. Well that was a fast make up, I mentally shrugged. I pecked him on the lips and we walked back to the dining room hand in hand.

"Aww, you guys are okay again!" Daniel squealed, almost tackling me into a hug. "You break her heart, I break your face, got it?" he said, glaring at Noah. I laughed and playfully punched Daniel in the arm as Noah squeaked and nodded in fear.

"Well, since that's over, let's talk about what the hell's going on." Callen said.

"Okay, well, the first thing to start off with is how the hell did you get that metal arm, Kuuipo?" Logan asked, almost shouting.

"Calm down, man. Well, I got distracted when I was fighting Otis and he ended up cutting off my arm. So I used my weird cool Chaos powers to form one out of ice and made it so that it wouldn't break and so that it was moveable like a normal arm." I shrugged.

The other gaped at me as I nervously laughed.

"Onto a different topic, how did you guys get out of Elysium?" I questioned. They all shrugged except for Luke.

"We were kidnapped and transported to some place with a bunch of monsters and with Void. He tried to make us his slaves, only succeeding with Silena, Beckendorf, Zoë, and Bianca. He couldn't get us under his spell for some reason so he made us the bait." He explained.

"So if Void wasn't fighting this war, does that mean he's at camp with the titans?!" Noah asked, realization setting into all of us.

"Oh my gods! You're right! We have to get there immediately!" Zoë exclaimed. Bianca and Nico quickly ran to the control room to put in the coordinates.

"How did I forget about the titans? We could've been there by now instead of casually getting there on our own time!" Noah said, worriedly pacing across the room.

I grabbed his hand as he walked past me. "It's okay, we all forgot." I reassured him. He sat back down as the Di Angelos walked back in the room, Nico smiling and laughing with his sister.

"We set a course straight to camp and we should be there in about a day." Bianca said as I nodded in acknowledgment.

"Wait a sec. Why can't Kuuipo, Noah, Bianca, Nico, and Jyoti just teleport us to camp?" Callen asked.

"It's too far for them. They might use up too much power." Daniel piped up. "Oh..." Callen squeaked, nuzzling his blushing face into Daniel's shoulder, feeling embarrassed.

I smiled at them as Jyoti piped up. "Well, we only have 7 rooms on this ship, so what should we do?"

"How about all the couples share a room, while Luke and Zoë share a room, Bianca and Nico share a room, and Ethan gets his own room." Silena said, winking at me. I grinned, knowing that we were up to our matchmaking schemes. Luke and Zoë blushed, glancing at each other as Daniel looked between them, Silena, and I with amusement.

"Sounds good to me." Logan said, holding Jyoti's hand and walking out to move their stuff in each other's room. I mentally cringed, feeling bad for them and what might happen in the future.

I decided to show the ex-huntresses around while Daniel took Luke and Ethan around. Silena and Beckendorf decided to venture off on their own. Noah and Callen took their stuff and moved it to their significant other's room.

After showing them the bathroom and closet and stuff, I got bored and decided that we should chat. "Why don't we sit down and talk?" I asked.

They nodded and I conjured up some chairs as we sat in the walk in closet, since it was as big as a store, with tables and everything.

"So, since you guys er, died, does that mean your oath for being a huntress is deceased?" I asked.

"I think so." Bianca said as Zoë started blushing.

"So, I just learned that I can match soulmates..." I smirked, looking at Zoë. "And you guys both have soulmates! Zoë, your aura is gold and Bianca's is silver." I finished, smiling.

Zoë raised her eyebrow as Bianca smiled. "Aaaannndd, Zoë, your soulmate is on this ship!" I said squealing. She blushed, probably knowing who it was.

"It's Luke, isn't it?" Bianca asked. I nodded my head as Zoë's face turned even redder than before. "Aww, you already have a crush on him!" I squealed. Oops, my Aphrodite is showing.

"Well, good thing you guys are sharing a room then." Bianca piped up.

The door opened and Nico peeked his head through. "Oh, great, you guys are in here. We're going to eat in 10 minutes so get everyone together." He said and closed the door once more.

"How about I get Logan, Jyoti, Callen, and Noah while you guys find Daniel and his group, along with Silena and Beckenorf?" I asked. They nodded and we walked out the door to find the others.

I ran out of the room to grab the others, too lazy to use my wings and I didn't want to waste my energy shadowtraveling.

I walked up to my shared room with Noah and opened the door to see him asleep on our bed. I smiled and gently shook him away. "C'mon, it's dinner time." I said. He opened his eyes, gave me a small smile, and we walked out the door hand in hand.

Next was Logan and Jyoti. I ran up to their door, Noah trailing behind me, and knocked. Jyoti opened the door and I explained that we were all having dinner. She turned around and jumped on the bed, startling a half asleep Logan.

I snickered and we then left to go to get Callen. I knocked on the door and opened it to see Callen playing video games. Without me.

"Bro..." I sighed. Callen flinched and looked up at me. " Oh hey guys...didn't see you there..." he trailed off. "It's dinner time." Noah said and we all walked down to the dining room.

Everyone else was already there, eating. I sat down and got spaghetti because I felt like it. Why not?

"So, should we discuss the prophecy?" Jyoti asked, sitting down. We all nodded.

"What exactly is the prophecy in the first place?" Luke asked.

"Daughter of Aphrodite and Son of Poseidon,
Along with 4 more and the eldest to guide them,
Face danger and evil from far away,
Having to decide whether to leave or stay,
To help fight titans that are almost here,
Or leave to kill giants that are nowhere near,
Whatever they decide will create great loss,
And others will turn and double cross,
All will be well and peace will remain,
If the 6 and the past heroes can save the day."

Luke pondered on that for a moment. "Well, since we know at least half the prophecy, which is you guys coming out here and stuff, what does the rest of it mean?"

"Well, I'm guessing that you guys were the ones that turned, unwillingly, but no one double crossed here. And we know that this last fight will be a massacre. The last two lines just state that we have to win or else we'll all die." Daniel claimed.

"I had a talk with Will before we came via Iris message. He said that some campers were acting sketchy. Like their being controlled but not really. As if someone is watching their every move by sorcery or something." Logan explained.

I raised my eyebrow at him and thought about it for a second. "But that's not exactly double crossing. That's being turned unwillingly."

"You're right. That means there's still someone that's a spy for Void. But if it's a double cross, doesn't that mean that they're on our side in the end?" Noah asked.

"I guess," Callen started, "but the spy may still send out information to Void before turning back to our side."

I cursed under my breath. There's no way to get out of this.

"Maybe if we're extremely careful, the spy won't find out our plans?" Ethan said.

"How about we pull a meeting as soon as we get back with only us and the 7? That way none of the other campers will know?" Beckendorf asked.

"That's actually a really good idea. The less people to know, the higher chance we have of keeping to ourselves." Silena spoke.

"Okay then, we got ourselves a plan." I spoke happily.
