Cosmic Love [A Nico Di Angelo Love Story]

Winning the fight-Losing my Pride

Pietra's P.O.V

Percy lunged forward, feinted to my middle and then flicked his sword up. I bent back into bridge and did a swift walk-over, kicking Percy's sword hand so his weapon flicked up and spun out of his grasp. The sword sailed towards me and I caught it, a smirk plastered on my face.

He narrowed his eyes and pushed his hands out. 
What the hell was he doing?
My question was answered when suddenly, a wall of water came towards me. I willed my hands to catch on fire and basically created a human fireball by coaxing the flames to wrap all around me. The fire tickled my skin and as the wall of water came towards me, I made the flames roar higher so it was completely protecting me from the water that came my way. Once the wall had passed through me, my fire was out, but I wasn't wet. Not. One. Bit. 

Everyone around me gasped and Percy looked completely shocked. I seized the oppurtunity and lunged at him, sword out in front. He quickly blocked and we parried and sparred until I had had enough of swordfighting and figured out I wanted to finish the fight.
Come on, I haven't even had breakfast yet...cut me some slack!

I swung my sword at his head, knowing exactly what his next move would be. As he ducked I brought my foot under him and kicked him in his 'special spot'.
Don't you dare say that it was a cheap move.
It's called being a problem solver.
I grinned as he lay on the floor, moaning while I laughed at how vulnerable guys were.
All of the guys winced and stared at me with death glares. Nico, Annabeth, Leo, Jason, Piper, Hazel, Frank and all the other demigods around me looked at me in shock.
Nico, started laughing with me and soon after everyone joined in except for Percy. I guess it would have been weird to see Di Angelo laugh.

Annabeth crouched down next to Percy, "Seaweed Brain..." she whispered, before kissing his forehead.
Awww....that's so-
I mean-
Eewwwww!!! Too much PDA!

I walked over to Percy and helped him up.
"Sorry, that was kinda cheating." I said shrugging my shoulders,"But I still won so in ya face!" I then raced up to Nico and gave him a fist bump.
Nice one," Nico said looking down at me. Gods, I never realized he was that tall. "But that was mean. Do you know how much that hurts?" He said playfully punching me in the shoulder.

I put my hands on my hips and shifted my weight to my left leg. "Well, I am a girl- just putting that out there- but from the multiple reactions I have gotten, I say that it hurts a lot." I replied, elbowing him in the ribs. He grinned back at me and we laughed.
"You have to be careful, Stone. You're gonna get beaten up one day..." He warned, his face serious, but I could see the playful glint in his eyes.
I flicked my hair, "I'll take my chances...Anyway, I'm starving."
He rolled his eyes, "Yeah, same."
"Okay, well, bye!" I gave him a little salute, and he furrowed his eyebrows at me. I stifled a laugh, as I wrapped myself in shadows. If I were to look up the word 'confused', Nico's expression would be the definition.
Once the shadows had faded from around me, I saw that I was definitely in the right place (I've ended up in China more than a few times), and sat down at the Hades table to eat brekkie.
It wasn't long before a shocked Nico joined me at the table and flicked a piece of bacon at me.

-time skip-

"I can't believe you still haven't gotten claimed yet, Pietra". Piper strutted up to us, flicking her hair. Right now, Nico and I were meeting the others at the Bonfire, and so far, it was only us two that were there. "Yeah, well I don't really mind what God or Goddess claims me, just as long as it's not Aphrodite, she's a bi-" Everyone gasped and I stopped mid-swearword.
"Oh please, what do you think she's gonna do? Intoxicate me with perfume?"
Everyone was still staring at me, and then I realised exactly what I was staring at.

I looked down and realised that I was not in my usual jeans, combat boots and black singlet.
I was wearing a sleeveless white Greek dress that came in at the waist with a golden belt. The dress was flowy and would've reached right to the ground if it weren't for the gold heels that I was wearing. My weapons were gone and in their place was golden jewelry that shimmered in the sunlight.

I looked at my nails which were painted black with patterns of white and gold on them. I felt makeup coated on my face and brought my Iphone out and looked at my reflection. Sure enough, I saw red lipstick covering my lips and bronze eye shadow that made my dark brown eyes pop.
I looked up to see a glowing symbol of a dove above my head.

I got claimed.
By Aphrodite.
The God's hate me even more than I hate them.
I have lost my pride, I am no daughter of Aphrodite.
