Ch. 16 Natalie/Lilly

HEY!!! IT'S ME AGAIN!!!! IM UPDATING!!!!! HOPE YOU LIKE IT!!!!!!! IT'S A NATALIE AND LILLY CHAPTER SINCE I HAVEN'T DONE A LILLY CHAPPIE IN FOREVER!!!!!

Natalie P.O.V

My eyes opened and I was met with the bright sunshine that filled the room that made me have to re close them from the sudden change.

My hands flew up to my eyes and rubbed them but my movements were sluggish. I saw something move fm from the corner of my eye.

I turned my head to look and found someone slaving away behind a small stove. A minute later the person turned around with a tray and noticed me staring at him.

It took me all of five seconds to realize it was the guy who had saved me from the snow, though he looked a lot different without a parka on.

"Oh, hello, glad you're awake, I was beginning to worry 'bout ya!" He had a bit of an accent but it was barely noticeable, but maybe that was because I was too busy staring at him.

He was tall, fit, muscular, and handsome. He had elvish features and a mischievous smile, the type of the I would notice on sons of Hermes. He had blond hair and deep blue eyes, unlike mine which seemed to have a more electric type of blue his were blue like the sea on a clear day that you could just get lost in.

I said something intelligent like, "ugh, hmm hmm!"

"Sebastian Johnson, and you are?"

"Natalie Grace," I managed to get out.

"So I couldn't help but notice your camp Half blood t-shirt, you're a demigod?" He asked me.

"Ugh, no, I'm not, I'm a legacy of Jupiter and Aphrodite."

"Ah, I'm a son of Mercury," I knew the facial features where recognizable from somewhere. "You want some food?"

I nodded diligently and he laughed. He poured me some of the contents from his pot into two smaller bowls.

"Do you mind telling me what happened? Why were you in the Arctic?"

I almost didn't notice I was so entranced by him. He was really, really cute. No, stop thinking like this you like someone else! Sebastian repeated himself and I shook myself out of my trance and explained what had happened.

"Well, when I found you, I was a little worried that you had gotten hypothermia, severe frostbite and I few other things but thankfully when I am at camp I spend a lot of time learning nature healing, from Grover, do you know Grover?"

"Yes, my parents are good friends with him." I told him.

He nodded and continued. "Anyways, I spend a lot of time with him, learning nature magic, and I guess it paid off, because I'm not sure you would've survived the night." And on that happy note I said, "thank you for saving me." "No problem."

"I contacted Grover this morning and told him I had a Demi god here, so I'm sure he told someone and there should be people on the way to come and get you."

Right when he said this there was a knock in the door. "Speak of the devil," he joked. I couldn't help but smile as he went to open the door.

Lilly P.O.V

by the afternoon, Sam had managed to get to get us to the Arctic in five hours, which I think made Luke really happy.

I was just hoping that Natalie was okay. As we descended above a small house, or at least that's what it looked like, and we climbed down the ladder.

I knocked on the door and was met by a familiar face. Sebastian Johnson we've seen each other around camp and we hung out a lot too in training, and we were in the same Cohort.

"Lilly! What a surprise! What are you doing here!?" He said all this as he hugged me.

"This is Sam Valdez and Luke Jackson, they're my friends and we're told that you found our other friend Natalie?" I explained.

"Well you heard right then, come on in!" He said smiling. He ushered us inside the house and led us to the living room where Natalie was sitting on the couch head turned away from us. "Natalie, you're friends are here!" Sebastian said cheekily. Her head whipped around, her fiery curls bouncing madly as it happened.

"Lilly!"

"Natalie!" I rushed over and she got up and I tackled her in a bear hug. "You're okay! You didn't die! I'm do happy right now! I screamed and Natalie laughed and hugged me tighter. Then Sam came over and retackled her to the ground, hugging her tightly. After Natalie got up, brushed herself off and walked casually up to Luke and wrapped her arms around his neck and he wrapped his arms around her waist, burying his face in her hair and lifting her off the ground slightly.

After reunions, we made a game plan, Natalie told us all about what had happened. And Sebastian said he would help us find the ice castle since he knew the area, Natalie seemed happy about that but Luke didn't, maybe it was the fact that Natalie was making googly eyes (A/N is that the right term? Idk) at Sebastian.

Eventually, we all had parkas on and we left.
