Betrayed and Alone

All Is Revealed Pt. 3

DemigodInTraining here. I'm going to write my part for this!

-Faith's POV-
I wait patiently as everyone else reveals themselves. As time goes by and it gets closer to my turn, I start to get nervous.

See, I've never been good at public speaking, since I have bad anxiety.
I watch as Esperanza goes up and reveals herself. I can tell that she is nervous, I'd be able to tell if anyone was nervous-I know what it looks like. I want to go to her and comfort her, but I can't. She needs to do this on her own.

You'd think I'd be jealous of Esperanza, of how powerful she is, of how strong she is. I'm not, though, because I know that she'll do great things with her power, that she won't hurt me and that I can trust her. I know that she deserves it. I can't help but feel proud of her as she goes up and reveals herself.

Before I know it, Omega-I mean Percy-I mean Omega- turns to me and looks me in the eye. He gives me nod and I shakily stand straighter. I have nothing to be worried about, hell, I don't know most of the people here and they don't know me, so why am I freaking out over this? It's not a big deal. However, I just can't help but panic, I feel like ice is coursing through my veins, my body filling up with the cold as shivers run down my spine.

I keep looking at the ground, cold hard fear pumping through my veins. I take a shaky breath.

"M-my name is S-Siren. I'm new...but I mean...yeah.... Um, I chose that to be my  code name because I was always told I was like a siren. ...Well, uh, my real name is Faith, and-"
I stop, taking a deep breath.
"And I'm a daughter of Poseidon. My best friend is Esperanza and I wouldn't want to be anywhere without her."

I look up, unable to meet the eyes of all the people around me. My fingers are drumming nervously against my leg, and my feet are tapping a nervous beat against the ground. My breaths are shaky, and I try steadying them. My eyes lock with Esperanza's and I find myself calming down, my breathing steadying.

I look up at all the people around me, feeling smaller than ever-but it's okay. Because I'm here, I'm alive, and I have the people that mean the most to me.

I don't bother checking what Poseidon's reaction is, because as far as I know, he disowned a great person, and I don't want to be near him. I move to stand by Esperanza, and I calm down considerably, which is good, because I dont have my inhaler on me, and an anxiety/asthma attack right now would NOT be a good thing.

Okay, that's my part I guess. I'm writing this quickly on a whim, so sorry for any mistakes.

Love, peace, and chicken grease, (You got lucky this time @WolfHowler1 I was so gonna steal your new line there.)
