Chapter 7: I'm On A Boat, A BIG Boat

How much you want to bet that you've never been as scared about something as I am right now? Yeah this is a piss-your-pants sort of moment. I tried to look occupied with my nails again but I doubt that hid my terror, Thalia and Percy were just as tense. I looked up at Sam and he was wearing that stupid smile again, grrr, I really do hate this boy. I smiled and his eyes sort of glazed over, I snorted but covered it up as a cough.

"You realize that I hate you very much right now, right?" Thalia asked.

"You think I'm happy about this?" I said.

"Atleast you actually like boys and I swear if this kid comes any closer to me, I'll put him in a coma." Thalia said. I wanted to laugh when I saw her expression, she was clenching her fists and glaring at the boy next to her. "Percy is staring at you. He wants to comfort you because you look like you're going to faint. Relax your positon a little."

"Relax, that's easy. Can you smell them?" I asked.

"Eww, yeah. There is just so many monsters around and when you blend monster with demigod, you get digusting." Thalia explained.

I relaxed and leaned back. Woosh! I fell and hit my head on the lifeboat paneling, yeah I kinda forgot I had nothing to lean against. "Trish!" Percy and Sam said at the same time.

"Ouch!" I groaned. I felt gentle hands help me, I looked up, Percy was smiling down at me. "Thanks." I mummbled.

He laughed and said, "No problem. Here." He pulled me closer to him and he positioned me so I was leaning against his legs. I noticed Percy glaring at Sam like he had just shot his mother, then I looked at Sam, he wore the same expression. I rolled my eyes and leaned against Percy's legs, I looked up, we were nearly to the top of the ship. Percy tensed, I found his hand and gave it a reassuring squeeze, he relaxed a bit. He stroked my hair, I wonder if I look good as a brunette.

"You could have just asked." Thalia said in my head. Then I saw myself from an angle, I guess I really don't look that bad in brown hair. I wore a smile and didn't even noticed it, I found my lips and stopped smiling. Percy looked at me with a weird look in his brown eyes, his free hand lingered close to my hair, like he wanted to play with it.

As suddenly as it came, I was looking through my own eyes again, it was kinda weird. Thalia had sharper vision then me, probablly because she was a hunter.

We stopped moving up, we were at the top. Percy's hand tightened unconsciously around mine and I leaned closer to him. Sam picked up my other hand and helped me up, he put a hand on the small of my back. I wanted to flip him off the lifeboat and watch him drown, or atleast get a good punch to the nose. I knew I couldn't so I giggled again, it was weird how much I sounded like my friends from the Aphrodite cabin. Percy struggled to keep his hold on my hand, then lost it completely after a couple of seconds.

I looked back, that one girl had his hand and she streached up on her toes and kissed him. I knew if anyone looked at my face closely, they would see Athena's anger coursing through my light blue eyes. Percy tried to pull back but the girl just moved closer, I glared at her but of course she didn't see. Thalia gave me a look that said 'Not now', I listened to her and calmed myself. I looked at Sam, he was starting to lean in for a kiss himself but I turned hastily away trying to make it look like I hadn't noticed what he was doing.

"Well who do we have hear?" a voice asked from behind me. I wanted to panic and say, "Sorry, wrong boat." I didn't, I just turned slowly with a smile on my face. Wow, Percy and Luke do look a lot alike. Percy was sneering at Luke but covererd it up when he saw I was watching him.

"This is Trish, Brooke, and Salvatore." Sam said while he pointed to each of us in turn. "They were looking for us, they want to join up."

"Alright, keep them in the below rooms until they are proven trustworthy." Luke said.

"What about our boat?" I asked.

Luke smiled and said, "Oh don't worry about that." He winked at me, turned on his heel and walked away.

Sam grabbed my hand and pulled me towards the giant spiral staircase, I saw Thalia and Percy being escorted similarily. When we arrived at the bottom, I saw a mirror and an idea popped into my head. I screamed and rushed closer to it. "Trish, what's the matter?" I heard a worried Percy ask.

"My make-up is smudged! Why didn't you tell me?" I screamed at them. I turned to face Percy and I could tell he was trying to supress his laughter. I turned to Sam and screamed in his face, "Where is my make-up bag?"

He looked horrorstruck at this other side of me. "Some-someone is getting it from your bo-boat." he stuttered.

"It better get here soon or someone is going to pay." I threatened.

"Yes, ma'am." Sam said obediantly.

"You amaze me." Thalia stated.

"Yeah, well." I said.

"Alright, here are your rooms." Sam said. He pointed to the nearest three, my eyes widened in amazment, this was way better than our ship.
