(A/N: GUESS WHO'S BACK)
Glitchy's Point of View (3rd):
"The Apple of Discord," Annabeth said, nodding in realization.
"Eris, goddess of chaos."
Nikki nodded. "She resides near the underworld, as far as I know. No wonder we're in Hollywood," she grumbled.
(Y/N) yanked her hand out of Nikki's grip, causing said teen to look to her with wide eyes.
"Who are you people, and why are you talking about myths like they're real?" She said, backing towards the front desk.
Leo took at step forward. "Please-"
"I'm calling the cops," (Y/N) interrupted, sprinting for the panic button.
Well, she tried to reach it before Mrs. O'Leary bounded in and tackled her to the ground, licking her and wagging her tail happily.
(Y/N) sputtered and squeaked, the gigantic dog coming as a huge surprise to her. The fact that no one else in the bookshop seemed to notice nor care boggled her already throbbing and confused mind.
"Heel, Mrs. O'Leary," Percy said. The dog didn't listen, but seemed to be bored of (Y/N) anyway. She trotted back outside.
(Y/N)'s breathing was heavy and labored as she processed what just happened.
A group of random teenagers with weapons comes into the book shop, claim they know her, start rambling about those myths that she read about in the mythology section, and lastly, she was tackled by a dog that was probably cross-bred with an elephant.
Though, even though the terror of extreme confusion and incomprehension flooded through her, she couldn't help but feel that the space of emptiness she felt ever since she woke up had been filled, just with their presence.
Every time she looked at the Latino elf, her stomach would do a tiny dance and her heart would thump in a futile recognition of the boy.
Hmm.
(Y/N) decided to listen in on their conversation, scanning the two that she felt an indescribable connection to.
"Memory lost, or memory stolen?" The girl who grabbed her wrist said. She had messy dark hair that reached mid-back, turning slightly teal. Her eyes were hazel and large like a doe's. Her nose was small and button-like.
The boy. They boy that made her head and heart throb. He had curly chocolate brown hair that just brushed his tanned cheeks. His features were pointed and sharp, making him look even more elvish. His eyes were caramel brown and shiny, glinting with a slight sadness.
Her heart twisted. Did she put that sadness there?
They all suddenly looked to her, still covered in slobber and sitting on the floor.
"Someone's gotta stay with her. We can't risk taking her with us," The girl with the curly blonde hair and stormy eyes, Annabeth, speculated.
Nikki nodded. "Eris most likely has all the demigods' memories stored somewhere. If we can release them, they should go back to their owners."
"I'll stay. I need to keep her safe," Leo said immediately, sending a sad glance in her direction. It made her heart twinge.
They nodded, exiting the book shop.
Leo looked to (Y/N).
"I've missed you," he sighed.
"More so than ever, now that you can't remember me."
