❝ HUGS AND FUCKS ❞

LILITH HAVE NO IDEA who bumped into her. She stumbled back with so much force that she was almost thrown into the Apollo space capsule before a pair of hands wrapped around her waist to keep her steady.

Lilith recognised the touch. A familiar smell of the sea filled her senses as she regained her balance.

Her hands automatically wrapping around Percy's neck as they held onto eachother and prevented eachother from falling.

Grover yelped in surprise.

Before Percy and Lilith could regain their balance, Marcus, Zoe and Bianca had arrows notched, aimed at Percy's chest. Their bows had just appeared out of nowhere.

Lilith immediately conjured her sword and she pushed Percy a little behind her as pointed her Stygian Iron sword at Zoe who was looking murderous.

Marcus immediately lowered his bow and it vanished in thin air and he gave Percy a blank look and rolled his eyes, "Of course."

Zoe hesitanted at the sight of Lilith's sword pointing right at her heart as she swallowed.

"Lower you bow, Zoe." Lilith said, her grip on her sword firm as from other hand, she held Percy's hand.

Percy watched the interaction with wide eyes as Zoe and Lilith glared at eachother and eventually, Zoe put down her bow.

Lilith put her hand down as well but the sword didn't vanished from her hands.

Zoe turned to Percy who was still behind Lilith, "You! How dare you show thy face here?"

"Percy!" Grover said. "Thank goodness." Zoe glared at him, and he blushed. "I mean, um, gosh. You're not supposed to be here!"

"Luke," Percy said, trying to catch his breath. "He's here."

Lilith's body went rigid as she snapped her neck towards Percy so quick that he feared it might crack. Her eyes flashed murderously for a couple of seconds and Percy couldn't bring himself to look away.

"What?" Lilith whispered, her voice reached into Percy's ears and he felt like he want to listen to her forever. ‘Gods. I missed her.’

The anger in Thalia's eyes immediately melted. She put her hand on her silver bracelet. "Where?"

Lilith pursed her lips and put a hand on Thalia's shoulder, for which the Daughter of Zeus gave her a greatful look.

As Percy explained, Lilith's eyes scanned the area. The main part of the museum was one huge room with rockets and airplanes hanging from the ceiling. Three levels of balconies curled around, so one could look at the exhibits from all different heights. The place wasn't crowded, just a few families and a couple of tour groups of kids, probably doing one of those holiday school trips.
