'I FEEL DESPAIR, my stomach is knotted in angst.' What?
'I feel content, my body and mind finally at one with myself.' Wait-
'I feel hatred. My own heart tremors with fear.' That voice sounded like-
'I feel famished.' That was definitely Grover.
MY HEAD IS THROBBING.It has been every since Percy and I ran into the quest group near the Apollo space capsule. Their voices whispered in my head and echoed through my ears, yet their mouths weren't moving. The only voice I couldn't hear was Percy's.
It wasn't them talking to me. It was their feelings speaking. Clasping in my silence, letting association take its course, I realized that this must have to do with my mother, Aphrodite. But why now?
"—We were following Artemis's trail," Grover said in real life, not just my head. "I was pretty sure it led here. Some powerful monster scent... She must've stopped here looking for the mystery monster. But we haven't found anything yet."
"Zoe," Bianca said nervously, "if it is the General—"
"It cannot be!" Zoe snapped. "Percy must have seen an Iris-message or some other illusion."
"Illusions don't crack marble floors," I said, breaking stillness and basking in the halt of voices in my brain. "I was there. It was him."
Zoe took a deep breath, trying to calm herself. I didn't know why she was taking it so personally, or how she knew this General guy, but I figured now wasn't the time to ask. I glanced at Percy, to see if he noticed her behavior but only finding him staring at ( not into ) my eyes, making me wonder what color they were now. "If Percy is telling the truth about the skeleton warriors," she said, "we have no time to argue. They are the worst, the most horrible... We must leave now."
"Good idea," Percy said, nodding along.
"I was not including thee, boy," Zoe snarled. That explains the hatred part. "You are not part of this quest." She looked at me. "Nor thee, you minx." Her face was painted with disgust, mainly because of who my Godly parent is.
I felt my face heat up in embarrassment. I feel pride. Her voice said in my head, making me run a hand through my hair tastelessly.
"Hey!" Percy defended. Whether it was himself or me, either way I felt grateful for the interruption. "She's not—" his face flushed. "—I'm trying to save your lives!"
