WE DIDN'T TELL ANYBODY WHAT HAPPENED in Split. All everyone knew was that we got the sceptre.
I was pretty confused. My entire childhood, I was told that homosexuality was something inherently wrong that needed to be cured. I had never really given it much thought because I had never known anyway who was.
Nico wasn't evil though, that I knew. He was my best friend and my brother and there was nothing wrong with him. I drew to the conclusion that there couldn't possibly be anything wrong with it if that was what Nico was. Maybe people are just allergic to different.
I couldn't believe that Nico had been holding in such a secret, one that would've done so much harm in the 1930s and 40s, when we were kids. I knew how isolated the both of us were after growing up during a completely different era, but to also be holding in a secret like that... I couldn't begin to image how isolating that felt.
That wasn't the only part of our visit with Cupid that I had been hung up about.
Camille Carras, Cupid said to me. Daughter of the dead, hate, vows. So promising, yet you deflect love when it stares you right in the eye.
When has love ever stared me in the eye? I loved my dad and that ended up with him being killed because of me.
Then there was Aphrodite's prophecy— given by Apollo during the Summer Solstice of 1918. The union of a daughter of Styx and a son of Hephaestus will transcend time and death and intertwine life and breath.
I had thought about that prophecy a lot since it was given to me on that piece of parchment by Aeolus. At first, I wagered on it being about our friendship because I never understood my feelings.
I had the epiphany a few weeks ago that maybe my feelings towards Leo were a bit more than just friendship, and I knew I was playing into the prophecies plans. I was afraid because I didn't want the prophecy to force anything— to make me fall in love or for Leo to be forced into liking me.
Despite this, Leo still seemed interested in me. Whether it was romantic or not, I wasn't entirely sure. After we almost kissed in my cabin, I was really confused. I didn't know if he actually wanted to or how he felt about me at all. It was always hard to tell that kind of stuff since Leo had such a flirty personality. But after we almost kissed the second time, I was pretty sure that Leo did like me.
