Daughter of Neptune

That cheesy pizza place

Percy sat alone on his bed in his cabin. It was lonely being the only child of Poseidon, but then Brianna and Hannah came along. Two half-siblings, which I have constantly wanted, arrived in the span of a few days.

I hope that Brianna isn't seriously hurt, and that Hannah is doing all right. Why was Brianna kidnapped anyways?

The cabin felt so lonely without anyone it so Percy slowly got up and walked around the camp he called home.

Ben turns back around to miss Whakapu to ask her the cost, but instead is looking at a mermaid sitting on the water fountain. To be precise, it's a siren that is sitting on the water fountain.

"Whoa!" he says with the breath pushed out of his lungs. It was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. He takes a step towards her and is about to compliment her on her green scales when someone gabs his arm. That someone is Hannah.

Hannah had noticed the blush creep up Ben's face and turned around too. It was lucky she was watching him from the corner of her eye. As soon as she saw the mermaid, she grabbed his arm and stopped him from advancing further.

Jason turned around to ask what they were looking at when he also saw the siren. His eyes roamed her shiny, elegant tail. He gulped and looked up to meet her face.

"Siren." Hannah said quickly so Esme would notice.

Her full, red, shiny lips turned into a smile. You could make out fangs where her teeth ought to be. Before Jason knew what had happened, Esme had him by the arm as well, stopping him from reaching the deadly woman.

The siren opened her mouth and sung perfectly in high pitch notes. "Come to me, oh noble ones." Both girls tried desperately to cover the boys' ears but failed.

"A kiss is free, but only for the gods' sons." As soon as the last words left her mouth, both Jason and Ben tried to walk forward. Miss Whakapu sat back calmly and watched the four demigods.

Jason struggled to get out of Esme's grasp and he reached for his imperial gold gladius, which Juno had given to him. His hand grasped the hilt but Esme expected the move and kicked his hand away.

Meanwhile, Ben was taking small steps toward the siren as Hannah tried desperately to pull him back. Hannah knew that if the boys reached her they would be killed, with Esme and herself next.

An idea popped into Hannah's head and she quickly put it into action. She dismissed the thought that it might not work and instead looked around for something hard.

Her sword, of course! With Ben getting closer to the siren every second, Hannah reached into her backpack and felt for her celestial bronze sword. She quickly pulled it out and hit Ben in the right temple with the hilt.

"Sorry..." she mumbled as he dropped to the ground. A loud thump was heard and Hannah spun around to see Esme on the ground. She turned her head and saw Jason's lips on the sirens.

I awoke with a moan. The cold ground was beneath me, soaking in all my body heat. My head lay on a shoulder and I stiffened for a moment before I remembered last night.

My lips still tingled from the kiss we shared. It was wonderful; don't get me wrong, but something about it felt wrong. I'd obviously fallen asleep at some point while I was leaning on Leo. I sat with my head on Leo's shoulder and just thought for a while.

I didn't focus on anything in particular, just small things that constantly changed. Like the copper smell of my blood on the cold, stone floor, the boy sitting next to me and how much I wanted a cheeseburger.

At the thought of food my stomach grumbled and I mentally told it to shut up. Maybe Tom will come with some food? I highly doubt it; he'll probably just come to give me pain for no good reason.

That got me thinking of reasons why I would be kidnapped. No obvious answers popped out. I'm a child of the big three and we're not very common, but why me? Why not Percy? He's the one who has gone through numerous battles and brought down millions of monsters. He has more experience than me in everything.

Leo stirred next to me and I moved to hop off him when he pulled me into a hug.

"Good to see your still here." He says as I hug him back. He doesn't hesitate for even a second; instead he fits his lips to mine and kisses me passionately. I pull back for breath and I see a small pout creep onto his face.

I smile and lightly peck his lips.

"So what are we then?" Leo looks into my eyes and asks.

"Huh?" I question.

"When we get out of here, are we..."

"Official?" I suggest.

"Yeah. I wanted to take you to a pizza place, but it's a little cheesy." I smile at his joke and nod my head.

"It's either that or a corny vegetable market." He jokes. I can't help but let out a small laugh. I sit up and look into his hazel eyes. I glance at his lips and getting my message he connects them to mine.

It's so nice having Leo here that I almost forget about the metal bars separating us from each other.
