Well Lookie Here I'm a Demigod

Chapter 21

Annabeth

"I don't like him."

Ariana says immediately after Octavian leaves.

"None of us do,"

I say starting to walk away,

"now, where did he say we stay?"

"Right over there."

Percy says pointing to a pile of dirt.

"You've got to be kidding me."

I say shaking my head while walking over there,

"It's better than mud!"

Ariana says obviously trying to cheer me up. And failing.

"Sorry, Ari, you know how much I hate being in the dirt-"

"Sounds like an Aphrodite daughter to me."

Leo whispers to Piper

"Oh you little..."

I say walking over to Leo about to kick him in the shin until Percy holds me back,

"Whoa, there, Annabeth. I think it would be best if we all, you know, get along."

He says gesturing between me and Leo.

"Well this is going to be a joy."

Ariana says walking over to the opposite side of the dirt pile and sitting down.

"Yes, yes it is."

Leo says.

...

Well so far walking, sitting, talking, and sleeping in the dirt has been a blast! For Leo and Percy. They have not stopped making jokes about the most random things they could think of, Ariana is not talking to me. Which I have no idea why, and Piper is hanging with Ariana. How fun.

I walk over to Ariana and ask,

"Ari?"

"What."

She says more than asks.

"Why are you mad at me."

"Well I don't know, because this is all your fault."

She says snapping her head up at me,

"Excuse you? This is all my fault? May I ask, how?"

I say crossing my arms over my chest.

"Because you should have just explained why we were here instead of saying, 'last time we tried to explain things we kind of burned the camp down'."

She says in a very offensive way

"Number one, i do not sound like that! And number two, we really did burn the camp down. WHICH STARTED A WAR!"

"Maybe if you actually explained about the quest and why we need Hazel and Frank we actually might be in the air on Happy the Dragon all happy and peaceful instead of sitting around on dirt waiting for a crazy maniac to come sacrifice something of ours!"

She catches her breath and opens her mouth to say more before I cut her off,

"No we would not! I know the Romans and they don't play fair! They would make us do something for them in return for Hazel and Frank! Have you ever met the Romans? I didn't think so! You always think you know everything when obviously you don't! You always think everything would have ended happily and perfect if we had done the 'right thing' when you think it's the right thing when really, it's wrong! Why did Chiron let you on this quest!? You know nothing about of any of this!"

She opens her mouth to protest and I cut her off, again,

"No! Let me finish! You know nothing about the Romans, the casino, the Amazons, nothing! Nothing, nothing, nothing! You are just a useless little girl who is not needed on this quest!"

Right once the words are out of my mouth, I regret it. Ariana's eyes are full of tears until one tear falls down her cheek, and she runs.
