Ivy love

I can't go back to sleep after all that so, I start packing things I thought I might need and when that was done I showered and changed into a black shirt and a pair of old jeans along with my old combat boots, i brushed out my long hair and pulled it up into a pony tail then just sat there.

I didn't have much else to do so I deiced to go talk to Mercy about where we were going, getting up I grabbed my bag and head out to the Aphrodite cabin, the walk to the Aphrodite cabin was a little bit long which I was glad of because it allowed me time to think about what I wanted to do in regards to Dionysus; I wanted to be with him there was no question but could we be a normal couple in the long run or was this just a fling? If it was just a fling then I would enjoy what little time we had together and when it ended I would walk away with the memory's of out time together to keep me warm threw the nights until I moved on, if it was more then just a fling.... well i don't really know what to do.

It wasn't like I hadn't dated before I had, but none of those few relationships could compare to this immortal sexy god that want me for how ever long to be his, those boys ( I had to call them that because that's what they where) simple could not match this man... no this god in any capacity, he was wild and unashamed, they had been sleek and well boring in the long run; Dionysus wanted to have a good time and they had been worried about there family money.

I sighed as i stopped a few feet away from the Aphrodite cabin and stared... and stared.

The out cabin had a painted roof, with pillars and a blue-and-white checkerboard deck with steps and gray walls along with a pink door with a white dove in flight painted on it, there was a lace curtains on the inside of a window and potted carnations by a outside on the window sill, it kind of looked like a Barbie Doll house it was so girly. Shacking my head I climbed up the three sets and knocked on the door and wait as the door was flung open by a sleepy twelve year old girl with wearing a pink nightgown and pink curling roller's in her hair. She had olive colored skin and light baby doll blue eyes that would have been cut if it wasn't for the fact she was glaring at me.

"Well are you just going to stand and stare at me or are you going to come in?" she demanded and I quickly followed her inside as she shut the door behind me with a soft click.

The inside of the cabin smells very heavily of perfume and the inner walls of the cabin are pink with white window trim and the living room had plush pastel blue and green colored sofa's and loveseats around a pretty little fireplace. I followed the girl up a flight of stair's and down a white carpeted hallway with doors on either side that had a chest with their names painted on it to identify who's room was who's, some doors where decorated with famous and attractive Hollywood movie stars and singers. We passed a light grey wall that had different style picture frames with pictures of groups of beautiful girls dressed in designer clothing and very good-looking, handsome guys smiling award winning smiles .

We came to the end of the hall in front of a red door with a sliver dove engraved with the Greek word 'Mercy Falls' on it, the girl knocked and waited until mercy called out a soft, 'come in,' the girl made a ' go in' sign then left murdering about hating be stuck on late night door duty.

I opened the door then quickly step inside and closed the door, inside the room was neat and decorated in a pretty yet not girly. the walls where painted a light grey and the furniture was all made out of a light oak marital, one wall had sliver picture frames depicting mercy with her sidings and who I guess was her father, one picture caught my eye as I walked by. Mercy stood next to a pretty Cherokee girl with dark tanned skin, chocolate brown hair that is cut choppy and uneven with thin strands braided on either side of her hair and eyes that change color like a kaleidoscope going from brown to blue to green in the shifting light, both girls where smiling and looking happy as the grinned widely at the camera there arms linked. i squinted at the engraving at the bottom of the frame.

' Piper & Mercy Leaders and Sister Forever '

" Hey Ivy, what the hell are you doing up this early?" Mercy asked as she stepped out of a huge walk in closet, braiding back her long blond hair, she was dressed like to me without the black t-shirt.

"I found out where were going...hey how's this?" I asked and pointed at the girl in the picture, mercy's face darkened but she answered.

"That was my sister Piper," She said and I got the feeling that there was some deep history there I didn't want to get into, so nodding I sat down on the edge of her bed and began to recount my little epiphany to her and even showed her the golden string, Mercy stared at wide eye.

"Holy crap Mercy, this thing has been missing since the battle of the Labyrinth. No one has been able to find it...oh crap does Mr.D knew you have it?" She asked and I shock my head, I been to deep in my own thoughts to even consider telling Dionysus about this.

"You do realized that he's going to lose it once he finds that you where given one of his ex-wife's relics right?" she asked but i just shock my head.

"No he won't because by the time he even figures out I had it will be long gone, which brings me to my next point. How the hell do we use it?"

Mercy frowned in thought as she plopped down next to me and i couldn't help notice the difference between us. Mercy was small and had skin like porcelain, her lips her full and lush and her hair had the Hollywood kind of glow to it. Me I was tall with long ruler straight blond hair with really good tanned skin and muscles that most people would die for.

"Well normally i would say, lets go ask the people who knew about the Labyrinth but seeing as how two of them are dead and one hasn't been seen in months, my second choice would be to ask Daedalus successor." Mercy says and I frown.

"Wait hasn't Daedalus been dead like for ever? how can he have a successor if his like dead and all?" I asked and Mercy cocked her head at me.

"That's right your new here, demigods aren't all together mortal Ivy which means we can become immortal the same way the gods are without taking one godhood. All you would need to do is do something so unforgettable that people would always remember you, that's what Daedalus did, by creating the Labyrinth and becoming an enemy of Minos, he basically became a minor god."

I frowned at that, not really getting because it sounded really impossible to believe that you could become a god without becoming one, the gods where created by the will and belief of mankind, being able to gain immortality by doing some huge imposable feet seem a little to easy in the long run, if immortality worked like that they that meant anyone could have it which in the long run would be a very bad thing, at the end of the day people HAD to die and some people need to die;If everyone was Immortal and had godly powers I could only imagine what the hell would happen.

Mercy must have saw where my thoughts where going because she quickly rushed to re sure me.

"Ivy keep in mind that only a demigod can pull it off, and also it takes a lot to gain that much power not granted by the gods. Hell Ivy every few hero's have ever manged it before and I dough anyone else is willing to try."

I sighed and got back to the point.

"So who do we need to talk to?" I asked and watch Mercy frown a bit as she stood.

"We need to go talk to Annabeth Chase, Leader of the Athena cabin."



We made our way threw the wakening camp towards a large blue and gold two story building that sat nearest the lake, the closer we got to it the more details i could see; the front door was gray with a huge owl carved over the doorway with plain white curtains. the steps leading up towards the small rap around porch where made from some kind of grey marble with steal railings on either side, Mercy took the lead and quickly climbed the steps two at a time and head towards the door and knocked on it loudly twice by the time i managed to get next to her.

the door was opened by a tall skinny guy with blonde hair and gray eyes, he looked like he just got out of bed by the way his hair looked.

"Um hey Mercy." the guy final said after blinking a couple of times. "Um not that it isn't nice to see you but what are you doing here? aren't you supposed to be getting ready to leave soon?"

Mercy nodded and quickly starts to explain.

"Yeah Malcolm we are and that's why we're here. we need to talk to Annabeth about something Daedalus created." she said and Malcolm nodded once before stepping back to let us in.

"Look I just got back from the night watch, do you think you can get to Annabeths room on your own?" Malcolm asked and Mercy nodded.

"Yeah I know where it is, got get some sleep Mal." Mercy say while I look around.

The Living room ( or what I think is the living room) was a huge a workshop and a library mix. the workshop filled with tables and work benches, with cupboards filled with materials to build things. There were also some 3-D models of buildings. There were blueprints, old war maps, and armor displayed on a huge wall to the left. The bookshelves filed with thousands of books and old scrolls, as well as tables and chairs for them to study and read. On one side and sofa's and coffee tables on another by a huge honey cone shaped fire place with a huge firescreen TV hanging on top of it. To the right was a huge stair case leading up to the second level I couldn't see, Mercy made her way over to and up those stairs and with nothing else to I followed her.
