Forever and Always

Chapter 7: Claimed?

~Rachel's P.O.V~

He moved closer and sat down next to me. I couldn't look at him, so I just stared out to the see. He didn't need to come, it's not like he cheated on me because we were never together. If he liked the Aphrodite girl then, okay. Like her, I don't own you. So why did he come. Is he just border line stupid or what. The point was it hurts me because I liked him and he doesn't like me.
"I'm sorry" he said awkwardly
"For what? You didn't do anything wrong." I stated flatly
"Well... I did because you went away crying."
"Maybe it wasn't about you." I lied "maybe I got hurt in archery."
"Aw comon' I know you better than that" he said, urging me to tell him.
"Well-" I am was about to tell him that I liked him a little, when there was an explosion in the Hephaestus cabin. Connor got up with a look of guilt and said "I better go see what happened...."
I nodded and he ran off. I sighed. That's when Nico came up to me. "Hey...whats wrong?"
"Nothing, I'm fine." I looked away from his cold eyes.
"No, your not. Tell. Now." He said immediately flopping down on the sand and basking in the sun.
"Nico, I thought you didn't like sun." I said.
"Who told you that? Hades is always being attacked with stereotypes..." He muttered "stop trying to change the subject." he pointed an accusing finger at me.
"It was just Connor..." I said meekly.
"What'd he do?" Asked Nico closing his eyes
"He broke my heart..." I said in barely a whisper. Nico heard it though. He sat up and looked me in the eyes. His cold, haunting eyes. "You liked him? But he's a Stoll!"
"So?" I said miserably
"I don't know how to help you with a Stoll..." he sounded almost desperate. His eyes moved out toward the sea. So beautiful, yet so deadly. A niiad came up out of the water and chased a bird down the beach. I leaned up against the rock. Far off I heard the horn, lunch time. Nico got up and looked at me expectantly. I just shook my head, did he look sad? As soon as he was gone, I took off my shoes and stepped into the icy water. I stood in pure bliss, Elysium. I walked over and climbed the huge rock. I laid down on the heated surface and slowly fell asleep.
~~~~~~time skip to later that night~~~~~~
I woke up in the rock to see people moving toward the campfire area. Yay! Campfire. I got up and jumped off the rock. I quickly put my shoes on and jogged to join a group of Apollo kids walking toward the fire. So many blondes in one place... There were a few with darker hair, like a light brown. One of the girls came over to me "Hi! I'm Susan. Daughter of Apollo." She has beautiful green eyes that matched her skin tone perfectly, which was ivory. Her jawbone was defined shaping her chin perfectly. Her eyelashes wee thick and long. She had dimples when she smiled showing off her strait, white teeth. Her medium length,curly, light brown hair was pulled back into a high ponytail. She was wearing black skinny jeans and a purple t-shirt, over that she had a leather jacket. She was very fit, with long skinny legs. (She has probably done a lot of running). Strapped over her shoulder was a large, hand crafted bow and a quiver full of silver tipped arrows.
"Hey, I'm Rachael. Daughter of who knows." I said, cracking a smile. I could tell she was someone I'd know for a long time.
She giggled "well, hopefully we will soon find out!"
We made our way to the fire pit and sat down near the front. We started out by singing songs that some Apollo kids lead. After that were announcements. Chiron trotted to the front of the seats and began telling us tomorrow's activities.
"Archery for the Demeter kids!" Was his final activity. "and now, a prophecy has come to the orical. Come child." he gestured for a girl with frizzy red hair to come forward. She looked a little nervous. As she stepped up to face everyone, her eyes began to glow green, and an old lady voice came out of her mouth.

Daughter of War who escaped many a death,

Risen from the ashes comes your fate,

a whisper, a muffled voice, barley a breath

A danger so great that all men hate

Is stirring out at sea.

A Willed one, A Wise one, A Poet, and a son of the dead

Will sail out at sea to stop the threat

Knowing what may lie ahead

Give back what was stolen to repay the debt

There were a couple of gasps and a few ahws. It was just a creepy girl talking nonsense. Gosh. "Oh my..." Susan said looking at my head.
"What?"
Her eyes met mine then darted back up. There was a glowing red bull over my head. What's going on?
"All hail Rachael, daughter of Ares, God of war."
