my demigod life

Robot girlfriends and Flashbacks

Disclaimer

Sorry guys! I kinda forgot to update today. There was a snow day! my mom was a jerk all day, I slept to noon, half the chapter was deleted, and any other excuse you can think of!

I don't own any of these characters! Rick Riordan does! (if you haven't already, go look at Rick Riordan house of hades on YouTube. its a little long, but you won't be disappointed!) so bye!

"Hey Leo?" I asked. "What?" "Why did I find blueprints for a mechanical girlfriend?" He ran out of where ever he was at in bunker nine. "You were not supposed to see that!" I started to laugh. Considering the circumstances, it was actually really funny. "So your going to replace me with a robot?" "No..." "Oh my gods! you are!" I crack up. "No, I WAS going to make robo girl, before we got together. But now I can't bear to get rid of the blueprints, she's just so pretty." I laughed again. "R-robo girl! ha!" "Do I make you laugh Sam?" he came closer to me. "yes! you make me laugh and smile and giggle, and love you no matter how crazy and weird you are Leo Valdez! Because as weird you are, I'm even weirder!" His expression got really dark for a second. "No one is as weird as I am Sam." Then he tackled me. He tickled every place that I'm ticklish. My neck, my armpits, the spot right behind my knees, and my elbows. I thrashed wildly for a few seconds, then I stop breathing.

*Flashback*

"Stop laughing and I'll stop tickling you Sami!" Sami. No one had called me that since- My throat tightened and I gasped for air. I started choking and coughing really hard. I was going to die. A really heroic way for a demigod to die. Daily attacked by monsters, to die like this. I can see the obituary now: Fearless girl, Samantha Amanda Collins, dies because her boyfriend refuses to stop tickling her. As the loss of air catches up to her, she can not wake up!

Wake up!

*End of Flashback*

Leo looked at me with those big brown eyes. Questioningly, why was he so curious? "Did I just black out?" He nodded. I closed my eyes for a second. "Sam? Who is Caleb?" I stare at him open mouthed for a few seconds. Only two people have ever known who that name belongs to. Caleb Turn. He was a son of Dionysus. Or Bacchus, He was roman. He helped me and David stay alive for about two months when we were on the run. Then Lupa came. Lupa took away the only guy who had ever made me feel like a princess, not just some girl who could tear his head off if I wanted to. I could feel myself drifting off into another flashback slowly.

*Flashback*

"Shh!" I whispered to David. he grabbed my hand as if he were not planning on letting go ever. I smiled down at him, but shifted his hands so he held onto my jacket's hood, so I was free to use my weapons. He accidentally pulled on my braid, but I didn't mind. Then I heard it again, a distinct bang coming from deep within the alley where we were hidden for the night. "If anything happens, if there is anyone there, you hide right inside that doorway okay." I say nodding to the nearest doorway. he nods, but doesn't release his grip on my hood at all. I slowly inch toward the dumpster. David releases my hood, knowing that I'm going to need to be able to move in this fight.

I ripped the top of the dumpster from the bottom, and a flurry of dark hair and gold were on top of me. I shoved him off, and kicked for the stomach, managing to get the groin. "Not Cool Dude!" he sighed as he rolled on his back. His eyes opened. So dark they were almost purple. "You're not a dude. A really pretty dude if that. Am I dead?" he asked. I kicked for the leg. "Did ya feel that?" "yes! stop kicking me!" "Sorry, I just tend to get that way when I don't have my brother next to me." "brother?" he asked. "Davie, Its okay to come out now, he won't bite." I said.

"Who are you?" he asked. "Cinderella after midnight." I roll my eyes. "Name's Sam, what's yours?" "Caleb. And I suspect you know about the parentage?" "Athena, both of us." I nod to David who comes into my outstretched arms. "Bacchus, isn't Athena Greek?" "Isn't Bacchus Roman?" I retorted. He frowned, Expecting me to not be weak minded.

"So Caleb, ya wanna come to our safe house? It might take a while, David got hurt on watch last night, so I'll have to carry him." Caleb looked around the alley. there wasn't much. Just some tattered pink fabric, an old backpack so covered in mud, I couldn't tell if it was green or blue, and a picture. "There were more of you weren't there?" He nodded, but didn't let on. "I can carry him." Caleb finally said nodding to David. "But you'll have to lead the way." I smiled at him, and said "sure."

Half way out of the alley, I caught a side glance of him. There was something about him. He didn't make me feel safe. He made me feel like I was allowed to be weak. I didn't have to know everything or take both night watches. Caleb made me feel like I could really be Cinderella.
