Percy Jackson Fan-Fic: The Different One

Chapter 8: We Start the Quest

Sorry my special readers! I had writers block for some time. I did mostly because I lost a book a wrote, and then I got really upset. Plus I've been really busy lately. I hope this was a good enough excuse! Continue reading! I really like this chapter! SO... I wish I had brought it up here sooner!

I would say that Leo and I are pretty good friends now. I thought about him as I packed for the quest, on Saturday night. We would be leaving first thing tomorrow morning, after breakfast of course.

I went to bed still thinking of Leo. I seemed and felt happier all day. I think I even dreamed of him...

The next morning, I woke up to the wind blowing. Which wasn't really the wind. It was more like Jason blowing me with wind.

I groaned. "Can you stop waking me up like that?" I moaned.

"Well it works doesn't it?" he laughed.

I glared at him, and he put up his hands in innocence.

"So what's with you and Leo?" he asked me surprisingly.

"Why do you want to know?" I complain.

"Well you ARE my little sister, and I think it's tie for me to start acting like a ig brother. So, what's with you and Leo?" he asks again.

"I'm not that much younger than you." I mumble and then continue, "And we're just friends..."

I lingered on that last word a little to long. It made what I said sound suspicious. He gave me a questioning look, and took a few steps closer to me.

"Really?" he smiled at me as I got up.

"Yes really!" I exclaimed.

"Are you sure?" he grinned wildly at me. I really wanted to tell him.

"FINE! SHEESH! I'll tell you." I gave up frustrated.

"Yes!" he walked over and plopped down next to me on my bed.

"Ok. But if you tell ANYONE, I will take it upon myself to kill you with your own sword." I threatened. He put his hands up, again, in innocence. "Good. Now I actually really like Leo, and-"

"I NEW IT!" he shouted.

"Let me finish!" I complained. "So we've been hanging out and getting to know each other. He even made me this." I rolled up my sleeve and showed him the bracelet Leo made. He stared at it in aw.

"Woah! He made you that?!" he asked.

"Yeah. We have matching ones. It turns into a sword, see?" I demonstrated by tapping on the small bead, sticking out of the top. The bracelet instantly sprang up into my hands, but in midair, it turned into a beautiful bronze gleaming sword.

"Well you know how you like him? Well I know something that you don't." He said proudly.

"What? Wait do you know if he likes me or not? TELL ME!" I tugged at his arm.

"That's not my secret to tell." he said cruelly.

"Please! This is life or death! Help! Tell me! Please!" I shout desperately.

"Nope. Nope. Sorry. But I will tell you this, he is going to do something soon. Maybe today. Maybe tomorrow. You don't know but I do." he said mysteriously.

"You guys coming to breakfast?" Percy asks from the doorway.

"How long were you standing there?" I ask horrified.

"Um... Long enough to know." he smiled.

"Ugh!" I threw my hands in the air in frustration, and stomped out the door.
