Heart Pierced - Kayla Knowles (1)

XXVIII. My Sister Can Be Very Dumb Sometimes

(A/N: Seven chapters left till Chapter 36! As to why I'm hyped about getting to write Chapter 36, well.. you'll see.. when we get there..

Also, a little bit of information in the tidbit of preview for Book Two I left for Chapter 26.. that also was a prophecy meant to happen to Book Two.. and it is connected to the prophecy from last chapter, Colton's dreams, and Typhon crowning Kayla the Monster Queen.

In the meantime though, Clarisse becomes an idiot! And shout-out to -JASONSGRACE  due to some of this involving Belle.)

Kayla and I found a quiet spot up in the trees in one of the sniper perches, where we sat down and just stared at the piece of paper that had hit my face. "How are you holding up?" she asked me.

I looked at her, but I was pretty sure.. even though I was trying to remain calm, my face had anger written all over it right now. "Doing fine.." I muttered before I told how I really felt. "..honestly pissed off that there's another prophecy involving me in addition to the one we're on the last leg of at the moment right now" I added seconds later. Kayla just nodded.

I wanted to scream loudly.

"Today's been one hell of a day, huh?" I say to her, and she nods before blushing. "So we're now king and queen.." she mutters, and I remember that part and I start to blush too.

"I..I.. mean.. to be fair.." I stutter. "..you're a perfect queen, even if we do rule over monsters."

Kayla slid herself over to me and we shared a passionate kiss up there, with her hands wrapped around the back of my head gently. We gently pulled away after a bit of making out with each other, and stared into each other's eyes lovingly.

"So.. what's with the whole talking in each other's heads thing then?" she asked me, and I had to think a good long while about it. "I think.. it's uh.. telepathy or something.. like those empathy links satyrs or fauns can do with other people.." I explained. "Which is.. weird.. since neither of us are a satyr or a faun."

"Indeed.." Kayla replied, looking now inquisitive and deep in thought. "So how in the world do we have this link if we're both demigods?"

"I have no idea.." I replied, and I wasn't even kidding. I had purely not even the slightest idea as to how all this even worked. "This is so weird honestly.." I continued. "Wonder if our dads know that we are.." I paused that thought for good reason. They would absolutely flip if they found out - not to mention Zeus, who let's be clear.. thought about killing me when I found out I became the Monster King. Who knows what he would do if he found that not only had Kayla become the Monster Queen, but the two of us were now also honorary children of the father of monsters. "..on second thought, I am not going to finish that statement.." I finished, and Kayla just nodded. She knew full well what I meant 100% percent.

We were literally in very uncharted waters no doubt there. It was to put it bluntly, like all of camp not thinking much of me when I first arrived here only to find out the hard way that just because a kid of Ares doesn't fit into the typical mold of an Ares kid at camp does not make him any less lethal. The traitor Luke was present for that, he would know from seeing that incident with his own two eyes. Like, he was the only one not involved in it that was actually present when that incident happened.

Anyways, the point here was that we were walking into the unknown with this whole thing from Typhon. Both of us could definitely feel that we were more powerful now. How powerful exactly definitely remained to be seen for real.

"Why us though? Why the two of us to be Monster King and Queen? Why choose us?" Kayla asked bluntly. She was about as confused as me over the question of exactly why Typhon would choose us, kids of Olympians.. kids of people that he hates with a passion. What was so special about both of us that he chooses us, out of all people, to be King and Queen of the Monsters? Like, what even is the logic there?
