Daughter Of Chaos

CHAPTER 36: Playing 20 questions with gods and a goddess

Percy POV

We went off cart and went into the restaurant, she ordered food for us both and I did not finish my plate because I did not like the food, I am sure if Nattie was here she would have known what I would have liked. The girl was like a radio that played rap songs, she spoke non stop and I could barely hear what she was saying, in the middle of eating I would zone out thinking about the past moments I had with Nattie. "Are you done?" I asked and she nodded, "Then let's go home." I forced a smile, "No, there is this fair that only opens thrice a year, won't you please let us go there." She begged and I nodded hesitantly. We went back to the carriage and the guard drove us to the fair.

We entered the fair and she held my hand, she pulled me in and out of rides and it seemed as though each line we stood in for a ride, there was a long line of girls behind us. Tyrah would want me to play games and win prizes for her. She wanted me to go on those crazy rides which was really tiring and draining. She never even gave me five seconds to sit down, she went on every ride and played every game.

The other girls at the fair just made it worse, they were all rotating around me. It was getting really dark and time had done me a favour by going by fast today. "Percy there is this night place which I really want you to see..." She began talking again but everything around me began spinning, I felt so light headed. Everything was becoming blurry and so were the sounds, "Percy, are you okay?" Tyrah asked as we walked to the carriage where the guards were, "I don't feel so good..." I said weakly.

"Should I take you to the Atlantis hospital?" She asked, "No, take me home." I said, the guards came and assisted me to get into the cart, "What's happening to the prince?" The guard asked, "I don't know." She said worried, we rode home as quickly as the sea horses could go. I just felt worse by the second, we stopped so the palace gates could be opened, the guards helped me get out of the carriage and by then I could not see clearly, I felt like a person who needed glass.

My insides we paining and every joint of mine was numb, "Percy? What happened to him?" Nattie asked the guards, "We don't know, he refused to go to the hospital, he wanted to come home." The guard answered, "Percy what happened?" Everybody began asking, "Percy..." Nattie called out to me, "Take him to his room." Mother commanded and I was quickly taken to my room.

They made me lie down on my bed and I could feel everybody around me, "Percy, can you try and describe what's happening or how you are feeling." Nattie said stroking my hair to the back with her hand, "My, my insides are burning and my joints feel so numb. I am not able to see- to see anything clearly, my head is spinning and my chest feels like there is some pressure be applied at the same time it feels so light." I weakly described everything.

"If your parents weren't here, I would have given you a tight smack right across the face." Nattie whispered into my ear, wow, where's the love? "You are supposed to be his friend, how could you let him go for so long without eating, Percy can't skip a meal cause he tends to use all his energy. You should have known this would happen." Nattie was about to cry- there's the love. "Do you know what's wrong with him?" Dad asked, "He's hungry, drained and worn out." She answered, wow, my body was reacting this way all because of hunger. "May I please have a glass of ambrosia and some light food?" Nattie asked and mother repeated the same instructions to a maids.

"Please excuse me for a few minutes." Nattie said and she went somewhere she came back and sat beside me, "Here you go your highness." The ambrosia and light food was brought, I felt the three button of the top I was wearing was being unbuttoned, my head was lifted and placed on someone's lap, "Percy, open your mouth." Nattie said gently and I did, I felt the taste of ambrosia go down my throat and I started regaining full control of my body.
