Percy Jackson And Sadie Kane: A Forbidden Love

chapter 41

Sadie's POV

"He's a WHAT?" Carter positioned himself in front of me. I rolled my eyes.

"A Greek demigod. Honestly, brother dear. That's not the craziest thing you've heard all your life. Remember the way Thoth spoke about Hermes? The Greeks exist."

"Their existence is not what surprises me. What does, however, amaze me is how out of all the guys on the planet you had to end up with A GREEK DEMIGOD."

"A little louder please. I'm not quite if Ms. Allen heard you."

Carter sighed. "This isn't a joke Sadie"

"I'm not laughing." I crossed my arms.

Carter took a deep breath. Like that would calm him down. "Sadie," He started with as much patience as he could muster "I can't have you risking yourself here for some obsession with a pretty boy. And an impulsive, destructive pretty boy at that."

"First of all, I'm not obsessed with him. I love him. And secondly, I thought you liked Percy. Now he's impulsive?"

"Look, I understand what the guy has been through. But him, with you...I mean..."

"So you can sympathise with him but can't trust him. Is that how it is?" I raised an eyebrow.

Carter gave me a cold look. "Yes. That's exactly how it is."

"Carter, you're just so...UGH." The last part came out louder than I would've wanted it to.

"Sadie, there's a reason we –"

" There's a reason we don't mix with the Greeks. I got that." I glared at Carter. "And besides, you hardly knew Zia when you pursued her. And that turned out just fine. I actually know Percy. I understand him, Carter. "

"Do you? You just found out he's a demigod . Who knows what else he's hiding?" I rolled my eyes at this.

" Yeah...we haven't exactly been very honest with our identities either."

" You know, you are just as impulsive and destructive and stupid. You make a perfect couple." With that, he stormed off. Yeah, real mature.

All I did after that was sulk in my cabin. In the evening, I got out to calm myself so that I don't kill my brother. I found Percy standing near the railing, again. Now that I knew his ' family history' it made sense why this was his favourite spot. I went over and stood next to him, gazing at the waves.

Percy looked at me. "Did I do something?"

"Huh?" I blinked.

"I mean...your expression..are you OK?"

I realised I was still wearing the 'I will tear you to shreds' face. I tried for a smile. " I'm fine."

"You're sure?" Percy raised an eyebrow. " For a second there you looked like you were gonna throw me into the ocean."

"Like that would do any harm." What the hell did I just say? " I mean, no. No, I wasn't. It's just, brothers can be so...so...difficult." Trust me, 'difficult' was not my first choice. But I didn't want Percy to dump me this early in a relationship. So I decided to keep the cussing to a minimum.
