The Artemis Daughter

Chapter 11

"...Are you into Percy?"

What the hell Hazel is talking? I'm into Percy? "Oh God No!" I stood up. Everyone looked at me. I quickly sat down again as I don't want to take everyone's attention to me. Hazel was giggling. Was it that funny? "So, you know Annabeth and Shennie. Who else you know?"

"Well, I know Will, boyfriend of Nico, the son of Apollo. I know him well as he visited us and I know Kaity, Shennie and Ima too. If I'm correct, Ima must be a daughter of Ares. Her hands are made for holding swords... that's why I guess so. Kaity must be a daughter of Hermes as Ima told that when you're going to robbery and Shennie should be a daughter of Athena. I'm confident with it because Annabeth and she left to try contacting their mother."

"You are almost there but a little wrong. Ima isn't a daughter of Ares. She's a daughter of Bellona, the roman goddess of war. It seems you don't know about roman gods" Hazel laughed and corrected me. "Alright, I'll introduce the others now... um... I don't think there's no one else here that I have to introduce..." Hazel looked over the room. "...ah, no! I have someone. That boy who is next to Frank!" she showed me a boy who has a curly short brown hair. He was wearing a belt at his waist and he has a mischievous grin showing he's a playful one.

"That is Leo Valdez. A son of Hephaestus. Well, he's special. He is fireproof" she whispered to my ear. What? Fireproof? Can it be practical?

Hazel continued what she was saying. "I told you that he's a son of Hephaestus. Well, Hephaestus is the god of fire too so, now just don't show your confused face for me. Well, his girlfriend is Calypso. They're making a wonderful couple."

"Ca... Calypso?" I remember someone named Calypso. "Yeah, the daughter of titan Atlas." Hazel said like nothing. The daughter of titan Atlas? Calypso!!! This... this... Ah! That damn headache. I feel my body is weakening. I kept my right hand on the floor as a supporter.

Now it's not only that damn headache. My heart started to hurt too. I felt my air ways has been blocked. I struggled to breath without showing it to others. I saw they didn't see it. I really wanted to hide it from others... especially from Nico. He always worrying about me. I don't wanna scare him. This pain will be gone away as before.

"Are you OK?" Hazel looked into me. I nodded my head to say yes. "But you look pale." She didn't believe me. She was right, I'm not ok... I'm having a hard time. Nico quickly came towards me and Hazel after hearing us.

"Vany, are you OK? Will! Please take a look! She doesn't look fine...!" Nico shouted. Everyone gathered around me. Those familiar faces made my headache worsen. I wanted to say that I'm fine but I couldn't say it. I felt someone has taken my energy. I heard everyone was calling me but I couldn't answer them.

Percy went inside the big house and called Chiron. He came to me as soon as he can. He no longer looked like a centaur. He was sitting on a wheel chair. Actually, Chiron is a strong person as he took me just like as a dust! He took me to an inner room of big house. It was the room that I was sleeping before, when I passed out after seeing Percy.

Will came to me a checked my pulse. "She is totally fine. There's no problem with her pulse but her pulse isn't like a human or a demigod. But to my knowledge she says she's fine..." his face took a serious look. Chiron scratched his chin while thinking. Nico looked paler and scared. He was near to cry!

I put my all energy and raised my hand to my brother, Nico. "I... I'm fine..." I groaned. "No... you're not fine! It's all my fault. I'm the one who took your responsibility. I failed to save you." His tears fallen. I couldn't bear it. My brother was crying!

I felt my energy was coming tome. I wanted to comfort Nico. I waited for a while until I gain my energy. I felt I gainedall my energy after Will gave me something to eat. The taste of it... I can'ttell it clearly as it was familiar taste. It was ambrosia the food of gods. Iremembered that I used to eat ambrosia before three thousand years ago.
