Blessings from Khaos

|My Heart Was A Home Built Just For You|

I want to apologize in advance because I get really mean to Piper in this chapter. She is not my favorite person. At all. She's the real seventh wheel if you let me tell it, but yeah; in this case, Lea is bffs with Drew who doesn't care for Piper so she's gonna take her side.

The Senate Meeting that New Roma was having was a bit interesting. It was definitely more official than Camp Half-Blood's ping pong table. She especially liked how Livia commanded attention so easily to her, and the way the light from the hole in the ceiling beamed down like her own personal halo and spotlight. The girl explained knowing about the other camp and being forced to keep it a secret because of the gods. Look at that, she and Lea had another thing in common aside from their gorgeous looks.

Listening to the way that she insulted people; that Dodie boy for one, in the most nice-nastiest tone.

Lea smiled at the girl when she dismissed them because of some kind flying ship. "You know, I like you," Lea said as the girl and Percy both flanked her. "You remind me of my best friend, Drew. The kind of people that aren't sure that they are a good person and all that, but you know for a fact that you're hot as fuck."

"I didn't ask to be psychoanalyzed and how did you even get all of that from that little conversation?"

Lea shrugged.

"And that sounds more like Octavian than me."

She could see that too.

Lea followed after them, looking over Percy's new charity cases; he was such a bleeding heart, and she looked over Livia's group of friends. They walked through the plaza together where her siblings kept placing food and drinks in her hand.

It was weird, but they also minded the boundaries that she kept around herself especially when she sent a bolt of mageia at some kool-aid drinking boy that called her Lea as if she gave him permission to speak to her so friendly.

She made a mental note to work on the spell that she used that got her there. It let her keep her body for one thing so she wondered if it circumventing whatever spelled potion that Picky Peitho and her friends used on Lea.

Livia tensed beside her, and Lea quickly looked at her. The girl wasn't looking at Lea though. Her gaze was set firmly in front of her, and when Lea looked that way, she saw the blond boy—Alabastard's soulmate; and she needed stop calling him a Bastard because she vaguely remembered Drew telling her that the attack on him and Ethan had been because Lea snatched away his power. Lea saw the blond boy linking pinkies with, ugh... it was the new girl of the Tenth Cabin. The one that was talking shit about Drew like Lea wouldn't run her a fade.

There was hurt in Livia's eyes before her expression closed off as they met the group in the middle.

They sized each other up, and Lea got to watch Percy and Annabeth rush at each other like children. Lea felt something in her ache. She wondered if anyone would hug her like that when she returned to her world. If she returned at a time where the people that knew her still lived and hadn't forgotten about her.
