Sea Princess

Chapter 3

I woke up when I heard someone bang the door open and then it banged back closed. I wasn't ready to get up and face the day. I actually just wanted to stay asleep for the next hour or so because I didn't want to deal with the day. I groaned and shook my head. Why couldn't everyone just leave me alone today honestly? I wanted to be alone after what happened last night but I guess no one cared about what I thought or what I wanted. I know for sure as Hades that my sweet daddy dearest didn't care. 

"Morning inspections!" Luke's voice rang out. I shook my head and hid underneath the covers. Then they pulled away from me and I cringed back away from the light shining through my window. I hissed slightly and tried grabbing them to pull them back over my head. I heard a tsking sound and I gave Luke a nasty glare. 

"Just 5 more minutes please." I muttered. I heard him laugh at me. He rolled me so I was on my back and bent down and pressed his lips lightly to mine. I blushed when I learned Percy was still in the room. Luke straightened back up and he glanced around the cabin and smiled. I just kind of rolled my eyes as I rolled onto my side before swinging my legs over the bed and looking back at him.

"5 out of 5." He smiled. I laughed as I shook my head knowing he was just doing that because it was my cabin. Then Annabeth walked in as Luke sat down on my bed. I sat up and stared at Percy as he walked out with Annabeth. I bit my lip as I stared after them chuckling slightly.

"5$ they go out when they are older." I said tapping my fingers to my chin lightly. Luke laughed and then smiled. He nodded thoughtfully

"Getting to be physic are we?" He teased. I shrugged and just crossed my arms over my chest. 

"Maybe," I shrugged laughing. He shook his head and smiled at me.

"Meet me in the arena after you get dressed I gotta finish up inspections." He said. I nodded and sighed. He headed out and I started getting dressed. I hated getting up this early. It was just not my style. I was more of the wake up at noon type girl with like 12 hours of sleep. I grabbed my bo-staff and headed down to the arena. I sat down on the bleachers and I noticed that Percy was going to the big house alone. I raised my eyebrows as he went by then I noticed Annabeth bringing up the rear.

"Why is he going up there?" I asked.

"He's got a quest." She said. I narrowed my eyes confused. Why would be get a quest only after being here for like a few days at most. I bit my lip and rolled my eyes as she walked away from me. I wonder what kind of quest he was going to have to do. This sucks. I've been here almost 9 years and I've only had about maybe 2 freaking quests. What the hell was this? I saw Luke with his sword and I got ready with my helmet and my chest guard. Well I guess now would be a perfect opportunity to get out my pent up anger.

"Ready?" He asked. I nodded and made my bo-staff grow to its original size. When we started he got a couple good hits on me but then I started getting good hits on him. I knocked him off his feet and then glared down at him. I had channeled my anger from Percy getting a quest into my fighting. I pressed my bo-staff against his chest protector digging the tip into it slightly. I glared down at him from under my visor. He just stared at me. There was a hint of annoyance in his eyes I could see. 

"I win." I said. I took the tip off him and he stood up. He dusted himself off before staring at me slightly confused. I sighed and shook my head. I really didn't want to talk about it but if I knew Luke he was going to be nosy and ask what was wrong. 

"What's wrong?" He asked. And there it was. The single question he could've just kept to himself but he didn't. He asked it. I shrugged and then glanced up towards the sky letting out a puff of air. 

"It's nothing." I said. I took off my stuff and Luke grabbed me around the waist and lifted me up. I let out a yelp when he first picked me up. He set me down lightly and chuckled. I just stared back at him slightly annoyed. 

"So, are you going to tell me why you're so mad at the world?" He asked me again. I took a deep breath and looked down at the ground with my brows pulled together in agitation. He stood there patiently and I knew we weren't going to be moving anywhere till I said something. I literally just wanted to scream but it's whatever. Life as a demigod was never fun nor fair. 

"Percy got a quest." I muttered to the ground.

"Oh," He said. Wow was that supposed to make me feel better? Because it sure as Hades didn't make me feel better. It actually made me want to strangle the boy. I just rolled my eyes as my fists clenched at my side before glancing up at him. 

"Wanna go for some swimming?" I asked.

"Sure," He said. He squatted down after taking off his armor and smiled up at me. I crawled onto his back and he stood up and carried me out to the lake. I smiled when we got to the water. I never really understood why I loved the water so much till last night. It made sense I guess. I just loved the water so much because of how it felt against my skin. Like it felt to natural for me just to be surrounded by the water. When we got there I stripped down right away and then jumped in not really wanting to wait for Luke. When I got there a dolphin came right up to me. I smiled at it under the water.

Do you want a ride? She asked me. I nodded. Sea creatures had always been able to speak to me even from a young age. My mom brought home fishes for me once and she found me talking to them when I was really young. She told me never to do that again, but you know me being a kid I used to do it all the time when she wasn't around. 

Just hold onto my fin she said. I nodded and went to reach forward when I felt arms wrap around my waist. I glanced back at Luke with a smile on my face. Another dolphin came up to us and I smirked. 

"Do what I do." I mouthed to him. He nodded as I grabbed onto the dolphin's fin and she took off and Luke followed us with the other one. I smiled at him as we rode with the dolphins. About after 10 minutes they took us back to the shore.

"Thanks," I smiled as I crawled back up onto the sand. They squeaked at me and then swam away. Luke came over to me and wrapped his arm around my waist in the front. I was staring up at him as he stared down at me as he rolled onto his side.

"You're my Sea Princess Cassi," He murmured. I blushed and smiled up at him. He pulled me closer and kissed my lips lightly. I moved closer so it was easier for us. And there we were right on the beach, making out for everyone to see. I wrapped my arm around his neck and pulled him closer while he moved me carefully so I was straddling his waist. I wrapped both of my arms around his neck and pulled back slightly for a moment before kissing him again. His hand slowly started to move underneath my bottoms but then thunder caught us off guard. I pulled back and stared up at the sky which had turned an angry gray way out over the ocean. I stared at the grey clouds confused. For some reason I felt like they were an omen for me. Something felt weird about it.
