AS THEY HEADED TO FIND ARES, BOWIE CAME CLEAN. she had mentioned apollo once or twice and her throwing up her middle fingers and dedicating it to him definitely wouldn't go unnoticed. she felt she could trust grover, annabeth and percy enough to tell them the truth. you'd think a prophecy about a god like apollo and a demigod fated to love eachother would be a pretty well known thing but to be honest, it wasn't really. bowie mainly kept to herself at camp and never really talked about it. she had only really told ethan and that was only in the last few months. for bowie, telling people about it just made the entire situation all that more real. in two years, when she was 15, she was going to meet apollo and fall in love with him.
she didn't want that.
"so, bowie, what's the deal with you and apollo?" percy started the conversation, "why do you hate him so much?" she didn't respond for a few minutes, kicking at a loose stone on the path as they continued walking. "it's. . . complicated." she settled for saying, not sure if she actually wanted to get into the details. annabeth squeezed her hand, "you can tell us. or is the problem percy? I get it, I wouldn't want him knowing my secrets either." "hey!" that got a small laugh out of bowie.
"it's, uh, you know how prophecies work, yeah? it'll happen and all that shit." the daughter of ares took a shaky breath, her hand going up to the necklace she wore, pulling it from under her t - shirt to hold onto it. mama's necklace, her cross necklace with ARES engraved onto the back of it. "yeah?" annabeth tilted her head, seeming to not exactly know where this was going. "uh, a while ago. dunno how long. u-um, there was a prophecy about apollo being fated with a daughter of ares. and that daughter of ares would. . . have a specific power to ----- "
"turn into a wolf." grover said slowly, realising it first. "I've heard about the prophecy but. . . I never thought it was real ----- a legend." "I wish it was. my father. . . ares gifted me with the power when I was nine, before I came to camp halfblood. I didn't know what he had done at the time but eventually I found out and. . ." she could feel tears in her eyes. she pulled her hand out of annabeth's to wipe at her eyes.
"so you don't wanna date him?" percy asked, "then don't." "prophecies don't work like that, Seaweed Brain." annabeth scolded him, "whatever a prophecy says will happen, it will happen." she gave bowie an apologetic look. "'s fine." the red headed girl muttered, looking down at her beaten black converse. "no. bowie gets a choice, doesn't she? she shouldn't be forced to love someone that she doesn't. that's unfair!"
