"How old are you then?" I didn't notice till after I said how rude it was. "Sorry" i blushed. "Child there is no need to fear me or anyone of...well maybe my twin brother but that doesn't matter" she said grabbing my hands. It seemed weird having a kid who looks 12 who is probably older than 3 millennia. "My brother is one of your fathers" she frowned and directed her hand toward Apollo. "Oh cool so your like my aunt. Just uh how may I be scared of him?" "He'll hit on his own kids and anything and anyone and his haikus are TERRIBLE I'm just surprised he isn't the one in Dionysus's place at that camp you guys have" she said waving her hand down below. I hadn't noticed till now that we were maybe 5,000 feet above Manhattan. Sadly around my neighbor hood. I frowned. "Caleb and I need to get going today is our last day" "Oh yes dear please be on your way" she said opening the throne rooms door. I grabbed Caleb's hand he blushed and I started running before things got to weird. We left the Throne Room but as soon as we left I let go of his hand. I stopped abruptly and Caleb ran into me. "Oof" I said as I crashed. He landed on top of me on my back and his head was on mine. "Would you get off of me?!" "Oh sorry" he said getting off me and taking my hand and helping me up. He still held my hand when I was up. I didn't try to take my hand back. Like I said before I liked him. He looked down and noticed what he was doing. "Oh um" he said still not taking his hand back. What am I thinking? They are so right! He would never like me. What am I doing? I never think a about boys. I turned around. "Mom what are you doing?" Caleb turned too. "Hi" he said staring. "Why does she look like you?" "Huh?" "She looks like that one lady that's pretty that I saw earlier" he said squinting. He muttered something. I just caught the last bit of it. "She'll never like me" and then he looked at Aphrodite. "Aphrodite what are you doing?" "Why Hon I couldn't get Ares to listen I needed something to cheer me up. *sighs dramatically* Young love." She said looking at our hands entwined. "What is so wrong with this?" I said holding up our hands. "Dear you are...so much...*sniffles* Like your father" "Oh shut it" Caleb said. We both turned to him. He blushed again then looked at me. "It kind of slipped out I didn't want her offending you" he blushed even more. I rolled my eyes. I looked straight at him. "I need to ask you something" "What" "One second" I turned to my mom "Leave" she scampered away. I turned back to Caleb. "If you really like me would you kiss me?" "Well that's a hard question to answer" he said getting redder than a tomato. I read his thoughts. Oh gods Caleb you know the answer just say it! Just do it! "Yeah do it!" "Oh crap I forgot you could read minds!" "Just do i..." I was stopped. I assume you know why. "What did I just do" Caleb asked "You do like me" I sighed. "Of course I do! Your beautiful, smart, funny, and many other things I love!" He yelled. He kissed me again then brought me into a hug. I hugged back and I heard a strange sound. "Ahem" I turned around. The gods were standing there. Apollo had his thumbs up. "Aphrodite I'm gonna kill you!" "I never I thought I would live to see the day that a child of Poseidon and a child of Zeus would date" Zeus said. "I know bro" Poseidon said. "My little girls all grown up" he fake cried. "Stop it dad" I said. "Which one" they asked. I facepalmed and pointed at Poseidon. He is the only one I'll call dad the others are father. "Sorry I'm gonna miss that one when she goes away" he said. "Oh my gods dad!" "I'm ok I'm ok" "Ugh" I groaned. "Drama queen" Aphrodire whispered. "Oh just shut up Aphrodite I coming for you!" I yelled unsheathing my dagger. I pulled my dagger arm bavk and heard a weird screech and I was disarmed. "What the?" I turned around. "Caleb had his sword drawn and had knocked my blade out of my hand. "Dude what was that for?!" "You can't just go charging random gods" "But she's a goddess" I said crossing my arms. "Oh you know what I meant" he grabbed my wrist when I went to charge her with my fists. "Stop it!" He yelled. I froze. All the gods were staring, some glaring. *cough* Poseidon *cough* I couldn't move. I just couldn't Caleb pulled my arm and pulled me into him. We landed on top of each other. "Stronger than I thought" he said. He looked at me. I smiled then got up. "You gonna help me?!" "Nope" I said drawing my sword. They all glared at it. The ground rumbled and out popped Hades. "Begin" he said. I didn't understand what he meant but as I came forward and charged. A sword clanged against mine. "You can't fight me!" I yelled. I looked straight into Caleb's eyes. My shoulders slumped and I lost my gaurd. He took the advantage and pressed forward. I fell down and I fake cried. "Why would you do that?" "Oh I'm so sorry!" He said coming over to me and trying to help me up. I took his arm and pulled him down pushing my sword at his throat and put my foot on his shoulder. "I told you you can't fight me" he swept his foot under mine and got up. He pushed up and I took the hilt of his sword and pulled it away from him. I was about to throw it up in the air when a hand grabbed my shoulder and pulled me around. I looked Caleb in the eye. I dropped his and eyes swords and dropped everything I thought of. He grabbed his sword never looking away. He grabbed my sword. He placed it in my hand and sheathed his sword and got down on one knee but before he could put the other down Poseidon marched over. "YOUNG MAN GET UP AND DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT MARRYING MY DAUGHTER!" "Dad he's not proposing he's claiming defeat!" "Oh continue" he moved back and Zeus punched his arm and laughed. Poseidon smacked his face. They kept shoving each ither until Athena shoved her sheild in between them. They both backed down. Athena put her sheild down. I chuckled. He put down his other knee. "I claim defeat" he said raising his hands. "You better" I said flipping my sword and sheathing it. "We need to go the suns setting" Caleb said pointing down. "Yeah we gotta go by dad and fathers and mom and mother" I grabbed his hand once again and dragged him to the elevator but he took me another direction. He jumped off the edge of Olympus. I screamed. Like really loud I scared a bunch of geese. Caleb rapped his arms around my waist and held me close. "I can fly its ok" he said trying to calm me down. "I know but...I'm scared of heights!" I screamed. "Close your eyes" I did and I didn't even think about me being maybe 3,000 feet in the air. He held me closer and squeezed me a bit. I opened my eyes. I almost screamed again. He looked me in the eyes again. "You have to stop doing that" I said turning away. We landed on the beach. "How about I take you flying sometime to get you used to height" he chuckled tickling my sides. I laughed until I saw the Harpies. "Lets go!" I yelled. He zoomed us to the big house. "I'm staying here" we both yelled at Chiron and Dionysus. "Hey uh Lillie I hate to break it to you but someones taking you home" "Is it my uncle?" I asked getting excited. "Well no" I cocked my head wandering who it would be. Caleb looked at me. I shrugged and we both walked into the Big House livivng room. "Mom?!" I yelled. "Honey!" She yelled wrapping her arms around me hugging me. "What are you doing here?!" "I came to take you home!" She let go snd looked me up and down. She smiled. Just a warning she never ever ever ever ever ever ever does that! She looked next to me and saw Caleb. "This must be your boyfriend!" I blushed and so did he. "No he's not" Caleb leaned down and whispered in my ear, "Yet" she grabbed his arms. He flinched. "Hey I'm not scary" she said hugging him. He looked at me not hugging back and I just stood with my eyes wide open. She looked him up and down then looked at me. She held her hand next to her mouth as if telling me a ir secret. "He's really handsome" she said winking at me. I blushed. She hit my arm which was normal but she did it playfully. "There's no need to hide it" she said. "Well it was nice meeting you..." "Caleb" "Caleb she'll be back" she said winking at him. "Don't worry to much about her" and she put her hand on my back and rushed me out. "Are you ok?" I asked her. Everyone kept staring. "Yeah of course" she said still smiling. Once everyone went to their own buisness she stopped and looked at me. "Your not one of those freaks are you?" She asked getting that cold look in her eyes again. "Freaks? We're not freaks" "Oh I beg to differ" she grabbed my hair and started pulling me. "No! No no I won't go with you! I don't belong with you!" I yelled trying to fight her.

 Caleb's P.O.V

I saw her mom stop her and she looked weird. Next thing I know Lillie's getting dragged by her hair out of camp. I charged out side with Chiron at my heels. I started running faster than Chiron could gallop. I willed myself to fly and zommed forward a little but I was to tired. I had to save her! I ran and ran and finally caught up. "Let her go!" I yelled. She sneered. "Leave me and my kid alone!" I grabbed Lillie's arm. "Don't touch my daughter!" She yelled. I looked at Lillie. She had gone unconsious. Her face was bruised so was her wrist. "What did you do to her!" "She wouldn't shut up so I smacked her and hit her and stay out of her life!" "She wasn't lying when she said you abuse her!" "She said that! She lies all the time! You can't believe her!" "Maybe you guys are dating" she said looking me up and down. "No! We aren't dating! Let her go!" "No!" "Let. Her. Go" she did and Lillie crashed to the ground. I picked her up like a baby and started walking. I heard giggling behind me. I kept walking. More giggling. Kept walking. I heard again and turned around but nothing was there. I saw Lillie move a little and thwn her eyes shot open and she started thrashing. She yelled, "No! I won't go mom!" "Hey it's ok" I said trying to calm her down. She was still thrashing. I tried to look her in the eyes. She still wouldn't calm down. I sat down on the ground cross leggeed. I held her down but she would still thrash and kick. I stood up again and she hit me in the face. I couldn't blame her I was with her mom for five minutes. Worst. Time. Ever. I started jogging looking for a child of Apollo. Ironically I was carrying one. I almost ran into Will and he took one look at Lillie and he took us to the infirmary. "I can't heal her if she won't stop moving!" He yelled. I knew I had to do it. I didn't want to but I had to. I leaned over the bed and kissed her. She started stopping then stopped fully and pushed me back. "Why would you do that?!" "You wouldn't stop moving I had to let Will heal you!" "No not that! That!" She pointed at her arm. Right where I held it was a burn mark. "I'm so sorry Lillie! I didn't mean to shock you!" (No pun intended) "No I'm sorry" she said. "Why are you sorry?" She pointed back at the mark. It was gone then back then gone. "One of my parent things and I'm sorry for smacking hiur face" "How'd you know about that?" She touched the side of my face. Oh it hurt. I winced. She put more pressure on it and the pain went away. "Thanks" I blushed. Will finished healing her and told me I could go so I left but hid behind the curtain. "Hey are you ok?" "Yeah why?" She answered. "Because I swore to protect you but I didn't. I failed you." "Will you could never fail me! It's ok" She said hugging him. He put his hands on her back and smiled. She started walking out so I charged out real quick and stood by the edge of the tent. "How bout one of those flying lessons?"
