Getting to you (boyxboy)

Chapter 14

"Wait,wait,wait,"Will waves his hands in front of us."Daughter of Neptune?"He gaps at her.

She nods like this is no big deal,"Yes,and you are?"Her thin blonde eyebrows rise.That's when I notice a familiar pair of sea green eyes.Now that I'm actually looking it's scary how alike her and Percy look.

Same kind of build,shoulder set,shape of the eyes.Percy must of got all his looks from Posideon then.I wonder how that works out given the gods have no DNA.

Will is still staring at her in amazement,so I do the introductions,"He's Will,son of Apollo and I'm Nico,son of Hades."

Her eyebrows furrow,"Greeks'?"

Given that she came out of the water I'm thinking she doesn't go to Camp Jupiter.Will regains his senses to question my thoughts,"Do you live in the water?"

Sheathing her swords she nods."My Lady keeps me updated,protects me,keeps me alive."

"Your Lady?"I question,she said she was a daughter of Neptune.

Will sighs,"Please tell me you don't mean Gaia."

I tence as I think this over.Gaia's forces always called her a specific name.My Patron.But Katara could just be calling her something else.

Her face scrunches up,"That annoyance?"She scoffs,"No.I mean My Lady Juno."

This time I gap at her,"Hera?She kept you alive and not your dad?"

She shakes her head,eyes searching the calm waters before streaching out her arms and urging the water to take us to land."My father knows of my existence,but he allows me to dwell in the water given my distaste for the Roman ways.But Juno took notice of my worth and in exchange of keeping me alive as my father didn't have the time for I done her will."She says this emotionlessly,like being Hera's puppet doesn't mean anything.

"She uses you?"I demand heatedly.

Katara shrugs,"Call it what you will but I call it surviving."

Will rests a hand on my shoulder.Since I'm basically tucked into his side his arm slides over my shoulders easily."So you never went with Lupa?"

Another indifferent shrug,"They tried.But I have no intrest in staying above water.Why should I?The water is more beautiful all my friends are down there."

"Friends?"I question sharply,"Are there more of Poisdoen children down there?"

She shakes her head,"I am the only one in the water.I understand there is a Percy something or other along with four others from the Big Three,correct?"She eyes me curiously making me tence,Will soothingly rubs my shoulder.After my brief meltdown thinking he was dead,anything to do with him is rapidly becoming precious."You are also one,correct?"Her eyes asses me.

I nod,unable to say anymore.The raft gently bumps against land.

Will looks to her,"If you don't like the Roman ways,maybe you could back to Camp Half-Blood.The camps get along now and we're even doing trades and-"

She tilts her head,"Yes,Juno did mention the other camp.She doesn't favor that Percy guy much."She muses.

"You know he's your brother,right?We could IM him for you,"Will says as we scramble onto the land,me staying closer then I normally would to him.The fact that I'm actually in love with him hasn't fully sunk in yet.

She follows us onto the land and the bones just sink into the water."I would like to meet him,even just the once.Only having dolphins,hippocampus,sea horses and other sea life for friends can get....lonely."She sighs.
