Chapter #11: Colder...

NICO POV

~Oh, nowhere left to go
Are we getting closer? Closer?
No, all we know is "No"
Nights are getting colder, colder
Hey, tears all fall the same
We all feel the rain
We can't change...
Everywhere we go we're looking for the sun
Nowhere to grow old, we're always on the run
They say we'll rot in Hell, but I don't think we will
They've branded us enough Outlaws of Love.
Scars make us who we are
Hearts and homes are broken, broken
Far, we could go so far
With our minds wide open, open
Hey, tears all fall the same
We all feel the rain
We can't change...
Everywhere we go we're looking for the sun
Nowhere to grow old, we're always on the run
They say we'll rot in Hell, but I don't think we will
They've branded us enough Outlaws of Love.~

"Cosa diavolo stai facendo?!" I began yelling in my native tongue (Italian, if you were being that clueless) as a couple of sparkly girls grabbed at my arms, pulling me away from the Training Arena.
(Translation: What the hell are you doing?!)

I was still in utter shock and panic from the situation that happened just moments before, I really didn't need this either! I was absolutely furious, for one, because... well, because... How could Chase speak to Percy like that?! I couldn't believe I had to stand there, caught in the awkward crossfire, of the two of them fighting about their relationship... I could practically feel Percy's hurt dripping from his voice and the look in his eyes was just... Ugh, another thing that had infuriated me? You guessed it! The whole telekinetic thing on Aphrodite's island that Annabeth claimed to have looked into. What I processed from the information she gave us?

I'm screwed.

I was anxious enough when Jason literally dropped me on my head back at the Camp's central. I knew I had to face Percy yet again, but a guy needs a break! But almost immediately I find Jason running over to the one and only son of the sea god. And you know what? He looked even better than I last saw him. And that's saying a lot. His looks aren't helping me with my problems and yeah, I just admitted that I find him beyond attractive. Do you have problem with that? I think I'm going hysterical... Oh, gods... And then the sword match? Kill me now. Percy's a god. Well, actually he's a demigod, but you know what I mean.

"You only had that connection with the person you loved."

... Man, when those words left Annabeth's mouth, I completely lost it. I just can't believe this. All this time I've been trying so hard to hide myself, to stay away, to try and cover up what I really am, to mask the truth... And it's out within a phrase from a furious smarty pants' mouth. I nearly had a heart attack. This couldn't be happening. I mean, come on. Percy must know it's me! He must know that the whole mind reading thing was because of me and my... erm... liking for him. I mean, it definitely wasn't his fault because he can't have feelings for me, so there it is. I'm the only logical thing to blame. He must think I'm a freak... He must hate me now... The look in his eyes, he was so surprised. He was so confused. He just froze. His reaction nearly killed me, so yeah, I had to get away.

But before I could make my great escape, a couple Aphrodite sisters were squealing in my ears, making me deaf, and began pulling me away to their cabin, screaming something about 'Oh my gods! We like totally need to give him a new fashion worthy look!' and 'I call picking out the shoes! Shoes are like my specialty!', also there was 'Ugh, he reeks of icky death stuff... And he looks like death... But he has a pretty strong bad boy feel to him... Huh.', 'Gasp! Glitter and rhinestones, he has such soft hair!' (That last one I found... Disturbing. Absolutely disturbing. I almost chewed off the girl's hand that was touching my head). The last thing I heard that caught my attention almost made me pee my pants. Out of anger, not out of fear.
