"You're so selfish, Percy!" I shouted, tears pricking my eyes. "If you hadn't gone off on your own, Annabeth would still be here!"

"Cor, I'm sorry," he pleaded. "I wasn't thinking."

"That's the thing, you never do!" I pointed an accusing finger at him. "You just do things and don't think about what will happen to Annabeth, or Grover, or me!"

"Cor..."

"Don't 'Cor' me!"

"Coriane," Percy finalized. "I know this is definitely my fault, but can you forgive me so we can work together to find Annabeth?"

I groaned. "Gods, I hate you."

"I know."

"Yeah, you know I hate you but you don't know why." I scoffed. "You're so easy to forgive, you just say the right words."

He smiled lightly. "So am I forgiven?"

"No, not fully," I sighed. "But we can work together on it."

He smiled. "Thanks."

I hummed and went to sit by the fire.

One of the Hunters handed me my bag and I made sure everything was there.

I looked to Nico, who pulled out a bunch of figurines. He grinned up at me, and then Percy and Grover who sat down as well. "I've got almost all of them, plus their holographic cards!"

I smiled. "You've been playing this game a long time?"

"Just this year. Before that..."

"What?"

"I forget, that's weird." He looked at Percy. "Can I see your sword?"

"Sure." Percy pulled out his pen and uncapped it. "It's named Riptide."

"Cool!" Nico gushed, then turned to me. "What about yours?"

I laughed a little and pulled my ring off and twisted the pink gem. "I don't have a name for mine."

"Well, make one now!" Nico urged. "You can't just call it 'my sword', it has to be cooler!"

I thought for a moment. "Lepída. It's just blade in Greek, but it's cooler than sword I guess."

Nico nodded. "That's so cool! Who's your parent?"

"My mom is Aphrodite." I answered. "She's pretty cool, she's the one who gave me my sword."

"Woah. I thought she would've given you some dresses or makeup."

I snorted. "I never had an interest in those til lately. I've started actually wearing makeup now days. Back then I didn't."

Percy frowned. "Last time I saw you wear makeup was on Circe's island."

"Well, I didn't wear makeup at camp because I'm always running around, Seaweed Brain." I nudged him.

"Are you guys dating?" Nico blurted.

My jaw dropped. "What!"

Percy flushed red. "No!"

I glared at him. "Oh, why so hard on the no?"

"I didn't mean no in a bad way!" Percy defended. "I meant it as 'we aren't dating!'"

"Percy Jackson." Zoë snapped, looking between us. "Lady Artemis wishes to speak with thee."

•.•.•.•

"Bianca joined them." Thalia said in disgust after Percy told us. "It's all Zoë's fault."

"What's your grudge against her again?" I asked.

The sun began to rise and Artemis groaned. "About time, he's so lazy during the winter. Don't look!"

I turned away and felt an immense amount of heat until it died down. I looked up and saw what was probably the most attractive guy ever.

"Apollo is hot." I muttered and Thalia hummed in agreement.

"He is the sun god," Percy noted.

"Not what we mean," Thalia scoffed.

Apollo turned to Thalia. "You're that girl that was a tree, right?"

Thalia nodded, blushing wildly. "Yeah, that's me."

Apollo then looked at me. "Aren't you dating Poseidon's kid? You were on that tunnel of love one time."

"Does everyone think we're dating?" I shouted. "How many of you saw that stupid video? That was two years ago!"

"That's the most viewed video on the Olympus YouTube channel. Talked about for weeks."

"Of us crashing a boat?"

"A tunnel of love boat."

"Would you shut up!" Artemis shouted. "You need to take them to camp."

We boarded the bus Apollo converted and I glared at him. "You seriously have a YouTube?"

"We have everything, duh." Apollo rolled his eyes. "Your mom was gushing, constantly saying it was you with that Jackson kid."

"My mom was bragging about me?"

"Oh yeah, she does it all the time."

I smiled to myself, glad that maybe my mom was watching me.

A/N:

Okay, y'all I've wrote so much of this story in like two days so I'm gonna go work on my Steve Harrington fanfic (should be republished tonight) or my Fred Weasley fanfic.
