ROTBTD: demigods

Chapter 18: Chocolate

Ω Jack's POV Ω

When I entered the new bunker, I was surprised to see Rapunzel very calm. I mean... she was normally very collected but figuring what just happened with Merida and how she seemed like a different person all of a sudden, I was expecting the same with her.

"How was she?" She asked and looked over at me.

"Fine. she told me about a dream she had."

"And?"

"It was my true past at the orphanage."

This caught her full attention. Rapunzel leaned forward in her seat as I sat across from her, obviously worn out.

"Apparently Hera tried to conceal my powers. I originally had brown hair but I guess my white hair was the aftermath of that spell. I guess it wore off once I got to camp halfblood." I explained, leaving the part out about the other girl. "she also altered my memories... that's why I didn't remember."

Rapunzel sighed. "I'm sorry about that."

"Why did you need to talk to me?" I asked suddenly, anxious to get what ever it was over with.

"I..." She paused and looked down. "I just like talking to you, that's all."

I felt my face heat up so I averted my gaze away from her.

"So let's stay calm, right?" She smiled. "I think we could both use a break."

I returned the smile and looked back at her. "Hey. I heard they have a candy cart on this train. when it comes by I'll buy you something." I suggested and she happily nodded.

"If it's not trouble."

"The guardians gave us a ton of money, I think we'll be fine." I promised and walked to the door. "be right back."

"Bye."

I exited the bunker and closed the door behind me. as I headed down the hall I caught a glimpse of Hiccup and Merida laughing together. They seemed like really good friends and it made me wonder how long they knew each other.

Once I got to the cart, I bought a box of chocolates and proudly walked back down the aisle. This time Merida and Hiccup saw me... both of them smirked mysteriously. I blushed and hurried past them back to Rapunzel.

"Here." I put the box on the table between us and opened it.

"Oh wow jack. you went overboard." she giggled and picked a piece up, plopping it in her mouth.

I looked at her for a moment before frowning. I needed to tell someone about my vision I had before I talked to Merida. Perhaps she could help me find out who the captured boy is.

"Hey punzie? Time out with calm time for a second..." I said hesitantly. Rapunzel frowned but nodded for me to go on. "I had a vision right before I talked with Merida."

"Oh?" She said sadly and picked up a piece of chocolate.

"This girl... the voice that you know about, uh... she told me that someone from camp was captured. I can only guess it's someone who would mean a lot to you, Hiccup, or Merida." I sigh and stare down at the box of sweets.

"Oh..." she said in a sad tone. "The thing is... we don't even know who the enemy is. We received no sign of everything. That vision of yours is the only thing we've gotten."

"You're dad had something for us." I added. "Maybe he'll have something for us."

"Can we unpause calm time now?" Rapunzel said quickly.

"Rapunzel-"

"I'm sorry! It's just that last time I had a relaxing time with you, you went along and almost froze the beach!"

"I didn't choose for my mom to be the goddess of snow." I snapped back.

She glared at me, clutching the chocolate in my hand before shoving it forward. I thought she was going to hit me but instead she was pressing the candy to my lips. "Shut up, and eat chocolate with me." she said softly.

I opened my mouth, eating the chocolate slowly. and I admit, I was blushing. but I worked up the nerve and did the same thing to her.

Right when she was going to eat the candy, the door slides open fast. Hiccup and Merida looked at us with wide eyes.

"Well well... what do we have here?" Hiccup teased and they both came inside our bunker.

I squeaked and hid my face from everyone. Rapunzel just ate the chocolate and stared out the window.

"You guys are idiots." I muttered and they sat down beside us. "really huge butt head idiots."
