Fireflies (PJO/Ranger's Apprentice crossover)

Chapter 4: Kinda Cousins

Will P.O.V.

Okay so Halt's holding one, two children who look to be around 5, a guy, older than me, who looks around 20, clings to Halt, and a girl a year or so younger than me helps support the older guy. On Halt's right he holds what looks to be a small raven black haired boy while in the left another small boy with blonde hair sits. They both wear oddly oversized clothes and seem tense, and ready. The older guy with shaggy black hair clings to Halt's right shoulder as he struggles to walk. The girl walks to the right of the shaggy haired older boy and supports him. She has fierce black hair and glares at me when she sees me giving me the feeling I shouldn't mess with her. Or else... there might be consequences.

 "Halt..." I say hesitantly as he continues forward toward me at a steady pace, " Halt, who the heck are they? Where'd you find them? Where are you bringing them? Why are you not telling me to shut up yet? " Halt however pays me no heed and continues walking at a slow steady pace forward in the general direction of the house. Confused I walk beside him waving my hands frantically.

 "Hi, hello, Will speaking? You okay?" No response. " Haaaaaaalt... you alive?" Again no response as the group got closer and closer to the house. The children... uh... people watch me with slightly confused and bemused expressions. Finally, the girl speaks.

 "Hey, who're you?" She asks grinning cheekily, "And do you know this dude?" I nod and she grins even wider.

"He's my teacher... do you know why we're going to the house?" I ask the girl and she shrugs.

"Your name's Will?" The black haired man asks to which I nod slowly unsure why he's asking such a question, "That's funny, from where we come from there's also somebody named Will. He's a healer!"

 "Of broken hearts. Specifically Nico's!" The boy with black hair and crazy cool eyes laughs. The black haired man I assume is named Nico glares at the boy.

 "Shut it Perce. Do you want to die?" Nico growls.

 "You two look so good together, though! Opposites attract after all!" The boy with the blond hair adds, smirking.

"Jason. Once I get the hang of this ridiculous body, I. Will. Kill you." Nico hissed face pulled into a pained and forced smile.

"Well, I think-" The girl starts.

"Not you too, Thalia! Don't even." Nico threatens to which the girl only smiles and sticks her tongue out at him.

 "Real mature, Thalia. Real mature." Jason laughs as he waves his hand at her.

 "Says the boy who decided trying to eat the FREAKING stapler was a good idea!" Thalia comments laughing hysterically when Jason's face turns pink and his cheeks puff up.

I'm almost certain they very soon forgot me because they continued to argue all the way to the house as I just walked silently beside them. What I could tell about the four thanks to their arguing is that they aren't used to their bodies, they're all very close, and that they don't act their age. Or rather they don't speak like somebody their age should speak. Except for maybe Thalia. She basically fit her image perfectly. The others however spoke... weird. The two kids talked with more experience then they should while the man talked as if he were a teenager still. Overall all four of them are weird I decide as we finally reach the house.

Going inside we all end up sitting around a large table. On one end is Halt, the other Percy. On the right side(if you're behind Percy) is Thalia and Nico and I'm on the right side with Jason. Then everything went weird.

As soon as Halt say down he shot back up yelling.

 "Let. Me. OUT!" He roars before realizing where he is. To say the five of us were surprised would be a severe understatement. I started screaming, Nico went under the table, Percy had fallen out of the chair and was oddly ranting in another language, Jason had a death grip on my arm and ps looked white, and Thalia had stood up a fierce look in her eyes. So basically it was quite a sight for Halt by the mild look of surprise on his face.

"Di Ammortals, why are you shouting?" Thalia asks still glaring daggers at Halt. He doesn't flinch however and instead looks around before turning back to look at the five of us only now recovering from the fright.

"Who are they, Will?" Halt asks featuring to the four his face back to it's normal impassive, emotionless state.

"The name's Thalia," Thalia announces then points to Nico, "emo death boy is Nico," points to Jason, "blond y is my brother Jason, " I stare in surprise at her as she points at Percy, BROTHER?!?, "and water loving idiot is Percy. We're all... how do I explain this... cousins?"

"Kinda cousins!" Percy exclaims beaming at everyone, "The four of us are kinda cousins!"

Sorry about not updating sooner, I'm very easily distracted and I was partly busy on Odd Sleeping Habits so that's what I was doing. (I'm that kinda girl who runs after a random butterfly and disappears in a second to who knows where because of my overwhelming curiousity) Also, today was my first day in my new media/graphic class and I'm really excited for more of that class because this first day was surprisingly fun and really relaxed. So yeah, stay safe and stay positive! Bye!
