Death and Water
already all off
NICO’S POV
I whip around the cabin, trying to find him, it, whatever. It was there a minute ago, creepily rubbing up on jade, which made me weirdly angry. I grabbed him, it, whatever, and then it disappeared, in my hands, like smoke, or a shadow.
“mormo” I whisper to myself as I turn around, looking for him, even though he was surely gone, and would probably come back to bite us later.
“Mormon? This is no time to make religious jokes!” Jade says, stomping her foot like she does when shes angry. I frown at how I’ve only known her for a week and I already know little details about her.
“mormo” I pronounce slowly, ceasing my search irritably. I try to be patient with her, and she’s smart, so she’s easier to talk to than most people, especially Kelly, but she’s still annoying when she wants to be. “A vampire who fed on bad children. Parents in ancient Greece told the story so kids would behave” I say, giving up on finding him. Ancient greek vampires are a lot more sneaky than modern day ones, they don’t shimmer in the sun, nothing happens o them in the sun actually. They come and go, and they teleport, but why there was one following us I wasn’t sure.
“What kind of mother is that?” she mutters more to herself than me but I still answered just so she would be nnoyed by me.
“ones who didn’t want to dea with annoying bratty kids. All cultures did it, ever hear of la llorona? Made up so kids would be inside before dark” he says.
“you Spanish” she asks as we start heading back to our cabin. Smart.
“Italian” I smirk, “but that’s not why I know about her” I answer.
“then why do you” I roll my eyes, but she crosses her arms and steps in front of me, blocking my way.
“You might want to move princess” I warn her, she casually lifts her eyebrows, her dark eyes set in her high cheeks. I could look in her eyes for hours. I shake my head to get out of the blurr, and turn my head down so she wouldn’t see the blush. I had no interest In jade, she’s a prude who thinks she’s better than she acutally is. Besides, I got Kelly, for now anyways. And because knowing myself I’ll probably be over her by the time we get back, I’ll probably leave. I couldn’t handle spending much time with either of them after this.
“Demi-gods don’t just fight greek mosnters, they fight all monsters ever described. Everything that has ever been believed in, no matter how ridiculous” I answer, simple first grade stuff in demi god world. I had to learn the whole thing a bit later, but I was still fairly young compared to what age she came in. When I was being rescued by Percy and Annabeth, she was fighting to save her life from all sort of horrendous monsters and creatures I couldn’t begin to imagine. Maybe this girl deserves more credit than I give her.
“so la llorona is real?” she asks, pronouncing it correctly, with a j for the double l, and rolling her r’s ever so slightly, making it seem very authentic. I was pretty impressed.
“Everything is” I answer, scratching the back of my neck. As much I loved discussing monsters and everything, I was getting antsy, and I knew the only way to take out my energy, besides finding that mormo which wasn’t going to be found unless he wanted to be, was to mess around with Kelly for a bit.
“so like even god?” she asks, not getting the hint. Or more than likely getting it and completely ignoring it. She was hardheaded.
“I mean yea I guess if you believe in him”
“And if no one believed in the Olympic gods, would they exist?” she asks.
“I don’t know Rhodes ok!” I say, my anger snapping.
“no need to yell!” she yells.
“oh very mature now you yell at me!” I answer
“you wanna fight lets fight because I have a lot of things to say to you and I’ve been trying to keep quiet and get along but this is clearly not working”
“what? What are you gonna say huh?”
“You need to get a life!” she snaps, which was surprising, I don’t respond so she continues. “I mean what do you do when you're not at camp? I probably don’t want to know do I? And when you are here all you do is smirk, make snarky comments, sleep with girls, and drink!” she yells.
“how would you know that! you don’t know anything about me” I yell.
“I know that Percy doesn’t trust you! I know that you did something to him to make him not trust you enough as to want to go on this trip with me because he was afraid if I was in danger you would rather save your ass over mine!” That shut me up. I thought Percy had forgiven me. Apparently not.
“You don’t know anything about that”
“Maybe not because he refused to tell me, but I think you should”
“And why would I do that?” I smirk.
“Because if we’re going to go on this quest together, we’re going to have to trust each other. Ok! Death and water, whatever, it’ll be you and percy or you and me, so you better start making friends with both of us. I don’t know what happened to you to make you this snarky and passive and just plain old mean, but that doesn’t mean you can’t let people try to help you”
“People don’t care enough about me to try to help me” I answer quietly, closing off.
“oh no! Don’t you dare close me out now! We are finally talking!”
“What else do you want to talk about huh? How about the fact that you step into camp, acting all mysterious and shit, and then Poseidon pays you a personal visit and you think you're the shit. So did I call that king dude to take you down a peg maybe I did!” That was a lie. I was actually hoping he would help her. I see her eyes go wide, her mouth open to reply but she doesn’t. Any trust she might have had in me was gone, I had made her think she was evil by genes just so she wouldn’t act snotty any more.
“im gonna walk around, see what else is up, leave you guys your privacy” she says without meeting my eyes, and walking back towards where we came from. Probably to wait for the monster to come back, she seems like the type, but I know he won’t unless he wants to. I contemplate stopping her, making sure shes ok. I know how rough it must be on her. But then I think of how much harder it would be if she thought I thought she was too weak to handle herself, so I let her go and make my way to Kelly. I was pissed off, and all I needed was a distraction. Andd what was the perfect distraction?
She was quietly reading a fashion magazine when I walked in. She looked up, her large blue eyes shining, if only people knew what I had done to her, no one would think she was innocent then. She lifts one corner of her thin pink lips in a small seductive smile. “is she with you?” she asks me, her voice husky.
Instead of answering I make my way to her and roughly put my mouth on hers. Feeling as she tenses up, surprised, but then relaxes under me, opening herself up to me, wrapping her arms around my neck. I lift her up and sit down on the couch so that she has her legs wrapped around me.
“Do you want to take out the bed?” she asks while I impatiently unbutton the buttons to her shirt. “Hey careful! This is designer!” she grumbles, I sigh impatiently and finally get the shirt off, exposing her soft plae skin. I don’t look at it as I hurriedly begin to kiss her neck, behind her ear, her throat, her chest. I needed a distraction, this was it.
“You ever done it on the floor?” I ask, pulling my own shirt off. She watches me for a little while, probably wondering how dirty the floor was, but she shrugs and I lay her on the floor, unbuttoning our pants, and removing the rest of the layers, but when I look back up, instead of blue eyes, I see black ones. Pure black. I blink a few times, tensing up, but they vanish just as quickly as they had appeared.
“Babe? Whats wrong?” she asks, sitting up, draping one slim hand around my neck. “Nico?” she asks when I don’t respond.
“nothing”I mutter, concentrating on the concrete details of her face that differentiate her form jade. Blue eyes, blonde hair, thin lips, pale skin, up turned nose, and my body begins to relax a little.
“Come on” she says kissing my throat, “we haven’t even gotten to the fun part yet” she says seductively. And I have no choice but to go through with it, because hey, it’s already all off.
