A new enemy (Percy Jackson Fanfiction)

Maria adamantem

I bring my friends inside the front doors of the castle. One of the servants told us that someone would be down in a minute so we sat down in the entry hall. Well, I sat down and my friends looked around. About 4 minutes later Astrlee comes down looking the way he usually does with red eyes and all. He's even wearing black jeans and a red tshirt. My friends look shocked when they see him. I get up and walk over to him.

"Finally got out of that suite?" I ask him.

"I think the taylors make it tight on purpose. Do you know how hard it was to fight in that." He complains. I can't help but laugh at this.

"They probably do make it tight so you don't fight in it." I tell him. He smirks at me and I feel another smile creep across my face.

"Are you going to introduce me to your friends or are they going to live in my place for a few days with me never knowing their names?" He asks. His finger taps against his leg and I can't help but make a remark.

"You're ADHD's showing again."

"It never goes away. Why do you think I stand with my hands behind my back during public appearances." He tells me and I look over to the 3 friends I bought with me. They all look like they're going to faint.

"Girls, at least be polite." I playfully scold them.

"B-but that's th-the prince. I don't know what to do." Emma says. Astrlee walks up to her and holds out his hand.

"Nice to meet you, I'm Astrlee." He tells her. Emma shakes his hand weakly.

"E-Emma." She studdard.

"I can finally put a face to the name. Maria's told me alot about you." He tells her with that smile. She practically faints.

"That's Ariana and Kylie." I tell him pointing to the owner's of the names.

"More names that I know. Finally decided to bring actual friends?" He tells me with his smirk.

"Almost didn't." I tell him.

"Wouldn't blame you. Gaia summoned all my parents excluding Kronos and krios. "

"Oof. How bad has it been?"

"Only one fight that I've had to stop so far." He says with a shrug.

"You're sure they're ok with me having friends?"

"If they aren't then they will bring it to me." He says. "Come on, I'll give you all a tour." He offers. My friends obviously don't know what to do so I respond for them.

"That'd be great, thanks Astrlee."

About an hour later Astrlee brings us to a big room where Kori, 2 girls and a boy are sitting. Kori emidietly comes running at her brother and collides with him.

"Hey guys." He greets the room.

"Hey Lee." All of them responded. The younger of the 2 girls I didn't know came over and gave him a hug after Kori. She went up on her toes and gave him a kiss.

"This must be Solisse?" I ask him.

"Yes. Maria, Solisse. Solisse this is my cousin Maria." He introduces us.

"Nice to meet you. These are my friends Emma, Ariana and Kylie." I tell her gesturing to my friends who are still pale as spirits.

"Nice to finally meet one of Lee's cousins. This is Molly and that's Nico." She introduces us to the other 2.

"You're hiness?" Emma spoke up.

"Maria, did you tell your friends nothing?" He asked.

"They didn't even know where we were going." I tell him.
