There he is. Zeus.

My father.

"I've been wanting to meet you." He says. He looks almost human like but I can feel his power radiating off him.

"Yeah?" I ask. By now everyone is standing around us.
"Yes. You're powerful, Blair." He says stepping forward.
"So I've heard."
"You've been informed about the prophecy correct?"
"Yup. And your oath that you broke."

I can see Percy and Keefe try not to laugh.

"You're going to become a goddess." Zeus says.
"What?" I ask taken aback.
"You're coming with me to Olympus."
"No." I say shaking my head.
"What do you mean no?"
"I don't wanna be a goddess."

"What? Why not?"
"Because I have enough to deal with now, I don't need extra power and extra stuff to worry about."
"Blair, I'm not giving you a choice." He says standing straighter. I do the same.
"I don't really care. I'm not going."
"I'm your father. You listen to me." I laugh.
"Yeah and where were you the last 15 years? You only suddenly care now that I'm getting close to the age I can destroy you."

"Listen to me!" He yells.
"No!"
"Don't disrespect me! I'm a god and your father!"
"Yeah and a shit one at that!" I yell.

He strikes me with lightning in the chest. I fall. I can't breathe.

I can feel my bones start to dissolve again.

Keefe falls to my side.
"What the hell is going on?" He asks holding my head up.
"Shadowflux." I manage to let out.
"What?" Annabeth asks also at my side.

"Get out!" Someone yells to Zeus.
"You have no choice but to come with now." Zeus says.
"Hey big guy." Percy says. "I think it's time for you to go back where you belong."
"You're a demigod, you don't scare me." Zeus says.
"May I remind you where we are standing. You're on my territory now."

"You will listen to me one day." Zeus says before disappearing.

I grab onto Keefes arm terrified. I can't breathe.
"Hey, hey, hey." Keefe whispers. "Stay with me, B."

"Percy!" Annabeth yells. "Get the Ambrosia!"
"How much?" Percy yells running off.
"I don't know!" Annabeth yells.
"I'm going to die." I manage to say.
"All of it!" She yells.

Percy runs back and gives something to Keefe.
"Give it to her. Not all at once." Annabeth says.

Everything is foggy. I'm going to die.

Keefe puts something sweet in my mouth.
"You're okay." He whispers giving me more.

Everything goes black.

———— Keefe

"B?" I whisper noticing she closed her eyes. No response. "Blair?" She's breathing, but very softly.
"She needs to rest." Annabeth says. I nod.
"She's going to be okay, right?"
"Yeah, she should be." Percy says. I don't have to be holding his hand to know that he's uncertain.

I pick Blair up carefully and take her to our room. I set her down on the bed and cover her with a blanket.

I grab her hand. I don't feel anything. She has a pulse though. She's still alive.

I send her calming feelings. They're calming me too.

After a bit there's a knock at the door.
"Keefe?" It's Fitz.
"Hmm?" I say. He comes in.

"She okay?" He asks.
"She's alive." I say.
"Good."
"She would've died."
"How do you know?"
"She somehow held the shadowflux or something and Elwin said if she didn't it would've killed her. The lightning must've released it." I say looking back at her.
"So, I take it you're staying in here?" He asks.
"Until I'm 100% sure she's okay." I say. He nods and walks out.


———— Blair

My eyes flutter open. Am I dead?

I look next to me and see Keefe sleeping on a chair holding my hand.
"Keefe." I mutter.

His eyes open.
"B?" He asks.
"Hey." I smile. He returns it hugging me.

"You scared the shit out of me." He says.
"Sorry."
"I don't know what I gave you but it must've been powerful."
"Ambrosia?" I ask.
"Yeah, that."
"It's very powerful and can save people but too much can kill a demigod." I explain. He nods.

"I'm just glad you're okay."
"Thank you." I say. He smiles softly.

"I should go let everyone know you're awake." He says. I nod.

He leaves and comes back a couple minutes later with some water.

He hands it to me and I go to sit up. He helps me and puts a pillow behind me.

I take a sip.

"How are you feeling?" He asks.
"I feel pretty good, just like a little sore."
"That's good, I suppose."

A couple hours go by and I watch Keefe start to get the couch ready.

He walks over to me.
"You have my clothes." He says.
"Oh shit yeah." I mutter trying to sit up.
"It's okay, you don't have to get them, I can sleep in this." He says. I ignore him and I get some of his clothes to appear.

He goes into the bathroom to change.

He walks over to me.
"If you need anything, or you can't sleep, or you know whatever wake me up, okay?" He says. I nod smiling.

"Goodnight, B." He says leaning down to kiss the top of my head.
"Goodnight, Keefe." I say.

In the morning I walk out for breakfast and everyone was worried.

We're making our way back to the dock.

I sit outside watching the water.
"Hey, B." Keefe says.
"Hey, Blondie." I say as he sits next to me.

I rest my head on his shoulder. He rests his head on mine.

"You know, I've never asked you about your human parents." He says.
"What do you wanna know?"
"What where they like?"
"Both were crazy workaholics so I rarely saw them. My dad, though had this thing with me."
"What kinda thing?"

I grab Keefe's hand.
"Two squeezes means 'I love you.'" I say squeezing his hand.
"That's cute." Keefe smiles. I nod.
"It's crazy that I'll never see them again."
"I'm sure you will."
"Maybe." I say laying my head back down.
