Nancy Bobofit And The Halfgods

Sulis

Eveyone just stares. I was the first to speak, "Aoife! You just Yelled at eveyone for no reason!"

"Oh yeah! I'm the jerk Here? Well heads up, you are selfish Too!

"Guys look-

"No Shut up!" She said, "You guys! If you had any idea-"

She breaths. "Any idea..then Beat it" Lee, Nyssa, and Michael all looked at eachother. "Wha-

"Aoife you insane! They all were Nice to You. They been nice to us and now you shun them?! You only shunning them first because you Don't want them to shun you"

"Shun you, why would we do that?" Comment Lee.

"Aoife, is something wrong?" Asked Michel. however Nyssa Had a different response.. "No..They are right"

"What?!" All of us say. Aoife looked up suprised but now showing regret. "...Guys I think we Made them uncomfortable..it's their first time here. -

Aoife started to Laugh. "Yeah; no heck!

I couldn't take it anymore. She was a completely different person. And realized it wasn't for the best neither the worst. She was the Same self centered bully at Yancy Academy.

"Oh you take that back!" I demanded, kicking her. She almost shoved me to the floor.

Eveyone was silent as they listened to us and saw Aoife coldly sneer, crossing her arms as she turned away from me. "You're Not Acting cool, quit it with this! It's frightening me!"

"Cool. Cool? Oh so now I'm not acting cool?" She snickered.

"What are You guys Taking about?" Exclaimed Michael

"ENOUGH!" Shouts nyssa. She then inhales and lowers her voice, "I'm sorry..Guys.."

I hated that. I hated Nyssa was the one who was saying sorry when in reality it should've been Aoife. No..I'm reality..It should've been me.. "No! No guys' you were great! Stupid Aoife is the one"

"Yeah..she Right. We didn't mean to talk like that behind you guys..Literally" Added Michael

I felt my heart break. I spent my time trash talking about People even when they never deserved it.

"Yeah. We just wanted to be different from many of the kids who put high expectations on demigods." Added Nyssa.

I was silent. Aoife was silent. "See you..At Dinner I guess" Lee added and all of them walked away. "No no wait! Lee! Wait-

He turned to me. "...You guys, you really didn't have to do everything you guys did. You guys are the best...please..Aoife just needs some time to process stuff."

"I get that.." He weakly expression. "Lee..tell the others. I say thank you. I know Aoife thanks you too as well. I promise..it will get better"

"I just hope it gets better for you guys too. Whateve your going through." He saids. I felt sad but I understood why he would think that. Thamyris was right. "Lee. There is something I want to tell you.-

He looked back one more time.

Aoife looked at me. As much hated to see her face at the moment, She understood "No. It will only make it worse..if you tell them now it will make it worse"

"I—" confliction came upon me..Besides it's ok..Since we've barely Know each other. Yes? It's ok to say your parents loved you all your life. Probably too much to the point where you don't love other people..It's ok not to say you have a stable life to actual kids who have unstable lives..right? Or would that make me worse than before?

"Well?.." He asked. "I- Think you grow some of the most beautiful flowers, Lee. I hope someday you show someone other than me." I say. Weirdly, why did I sound like my mother? It's nice to know that an Apollo kid, despite what his father goes through in the myths, actually had something remarkable with Plants Lee gave me a soft smile, "Well thank you.. See you Soon, Sulis"

I turned and Saw Thamryis and Juniper were in the trees. I no longer found their presence strange. They were looking after me, After Isolde. I finally went up to her. She sat on the Log. Her eyes glowing on the darkening Day. I could see now, A lot of her Human Traits came from Hee mother, a lot of her Goofy perhaps harsh Traits..By her father. "...You want to tell them, don't you?"

"I don't know. It sounds nice on paper. But..I just..I don't know. I certainly don't want anyone to find out and Assume We're like in paradise or something."

"What do You mean by that?" I somewhat clear and crookedly say. "Ever since Day 1 when Dad was with me. I loved him. I knew he was Dad. I just didn't think He want me because something was off. Like I wasn't able to reach him. Like I knew he was a God but didn't bother to tell him how I felt. How distant that actually felt."

"I get that..Mom felt the same way."

"Yeah, then the ignorant jerkoffs of Olympus Gives Dog Scrapes to These Kids because of that Ludicrous law. If that's how we felt, imagine how these guys feel" she Grunted.

"Well I guess..Mom and Dad aren't perfect..Just like us.." I added.

She had some tears in her eyes. "There may still be hope." I say.

"But we're already against the law. We are already in so much Trouble. What can we do?" She asked. "Well I guess what we can do is come up with a better plan on how to tell them. When we are ready. When we know eachother better."

"So..ok, Yeah. We will see if we can Get Mr. D and Chiron. Ask to change things. We can Literally be one big Family." aofie Added

"It's not got to be easy. But I left A Hint for Lee of what I'm gonna say" I say.

[In The Background. Lee is in the Big House. Me Charion calls him "huh?" He goes up. The Oracle Speaks to him "Surely Enough some Day they'll be convinced I am alive. You did well."

"What? Wait-" she smickered "You are Honorary. But make sure to know who the enemy is. And who the enemy isn't. You may be surprised on how actually fluid it quite is"

"Is this about Sulis and Aoife?"

"Hm, Perhaps, perhaps not. But what you still did was good. Good Job Lee Fletcher. You have an understanding kind Heart" Lee was surprised "huh okay "OOH! Did I do a great Noble Oracle Impression? Rate me, rate me!" "Uhh- 8?"

"YES. Still meant it tho-"

[Sulis's inner voice continues]

"I know it's gonna take time"

"Then hopefully that time is worth it"
