Ares' Staff of War

Chapter 20-A New Comer

Sebastian POV-

I slash my sword through the air at Emma. "You are going down," she says.

"Nope," I tell her.

She strikes at me and I block it. I smirk at her. She turns red a little and I knock her down. "Hey! I wasn't ready!" she says.

"Sure you weren't," I tell her.

She sticks her tongue out at me. "Whatever," she says.

I gleak at her. Gleaking means that I spit somehow with my tongue and it flies toward her.

"Ewwww! Sebastian, don't do that again!" Emma says, wrinkling her nose and scooting away from me.

I smirk. "Woops," I say sarcastically.

"You are very weird," Emma tells me.

"Being called weird is like being called limited edition. Meaning I'm something people don't see that often," I tell her.

"Wow," she says. "How did you figure that out?"

"I didn't. I just remember reading it somewhere," I say winking. "And don't worry, I tried being normal once. Worst two minutes of my life."

"Oh my gods Sebastian!" she says and laughs. I laugh along with her. After awhile, she says, "You know, Sebastian? I really like you. I mean, I like like you."

She was a tomato. I think I was too.

"I like you too Emma. Wanna be my um-" I stutter and don't finish what I say because Emma screams yes. She tackles me in a hug. I smile.

"I've been waiting for this," she whispers.

"Me too," I whisper back.

"Ooh! Sebastian and Emma are hugging!" I hear a little boy say.

"Orion!" Emma and I yell at the same time.

"Got to go tell Uncle Leo and Uncle Percy!" Orion yells and runs away.

I stand up and run after him. He runs to the Big House. "Uncle Leo! Uncle Percy! Guess what!" Orion yells while running on the porch.

"What is it, hon?" Leo asks him.

Calypso looks at us as well. "Emma and Sebastian were hugging! And then he tackled her!" Orion says pointing to us.

I blush deeply. "Go ahead, tell us what happened," Dad says.

Jason walks up to us as well. "Well, um. So Emma and I were sword fighting and she told me that I was going down. Then I told her that I would win. Of course I took her down and then she told me something," I whisper the last part. "She told me she likes me and then I asked her to be my girlfriend and she tackled me saying yes."

Jason smiles at me. "Finally got the courage, did you?" Jason asks.

I stare at him, confused. "We all new that you liked Emma," Jason explains.

I open my mouth. "Sebastian, do you promise to protect my daughter?" Leo asks me.

I nod. "Good. Then I accept you dating my daughter," Leo says.

"Just don't break her heart," Calypso says.

"I won't," I promise her.

Orion suddenly runs to Frank and Hazel, probably telling them about Emma and I. "Good job, Sebastian," Dad tells me.

"Thanks," I say and grab Emma's hand.

A tired looking girl comes stumbling toward us. She has dark blonde hair in bun, a bright orange tank top, and tights. "Someone, help her!" a young boy yells. Wait, that's not a boy. Its a satyr.

Emma and I run toward the girl and support her until she gets to the Big House. We bring her to the infirmary and let a child of Apollo take care of her. "Don't worry," the child of Apollo says. "You're safe now. I'm Serena Jones."

Serena tends to the girl as we watch. "She just needs sleep," Serena says. "Do you know who she is?"

"No we don't," I tell her.

"My name is Hannah," the girl says quietly from the bed.

"OK, Hannah. Do you live with one of your parents?" Serena asks Hannah.

She nods slightly. "OK. Do you live with you dad or your mom?" Serena asks.

"My dad," Hannah says.

"OK. You are a demi-god," Serena tells her bluntly.

"A what?" Hannah asks.

"Part human, part god," Serena says.

"Part god?" Hannah says.

"Yes. We will show you something later to explain all of this," Serena says. "Now, just rest."

Hannah nods. Emma and I walk out of there.
