Mount Olympus

Isabel

Just as Luca makes to head towards two people with the girl from the bar as they walk out, something dark and ominous drops from the sky and lands in the center of Olympus. I grip Luca's hand tighter, something familiar and dark about the being beneath the darkness, and he pulls me away and into the forest, wrapping his arms securely around me and telling me we were safe.

Rayah

A huge shadow passes over us and I sigh, feeling dizzy.

"C-Charlie!" I call, glancing around. When he doesn't come I rush back into the woods and climb a tree, sitting in it and waiting for him. I start twiddling my thumbs, the effects of drunkeness wearing down.

Nyx

I grinned, revelling at my human form. I hugged myself. How good it was to feel alive again.

″You there, up a tree!″ I called. ″Tell me, what year is it?″

Rayah

A girl calls me from below and I sigh, thinking. "2015," I reply. "Yeah," I see Charlie in the distance and he smiles at me before walking towards the tree, crossing his arms and looking up. "...Ray? What the hell are you doing in a tree?"

I shrug, looking down at him. "I like tree's. They're fun..." I lied.

Fiera

I hide in a lush tree, my black hair brushing against my shoulders, hiding my hideous blood red eyes. I wish I could show myself, but knowing these people, they'd kill me upon first sight. They hate me already simply because of who my father is. I sigh, wishing my background was different, wishing everything was different, wishing I didn't have to fear my father....

Jace

I hurry out of the throne room, my father's words etched in my head still. How could he appear out of nowhere and drop me here, saying I couldn't leave until my attitude improved? Attitude? I'm the one with the attitude? How is that?

Dropping on the steps, I yank out my phone and dial the numbers of the only person I could talk to about all of this.

"Hey, uh, Rayah? Do you think we could meet somewhere? I need to talk something out."

Spoiler

Lol, Rocky.

Rayah

My phone buzzes in my pocket and I jump out of the tree, answering it while walking back towards the bar.

"Hello?" I answer.

"Hey, uh, Rayah? Do you think we can meet somewhere? I need to talk something out," Jace says. Jace.

I nod and sigh, thinking. "Umm...Let's go to the Battleground," I say, thinking of any random place.

I hang up and make my way there, humming a song as I make my way back into the woods, using a shortcut.

Spoiler

Lol. *shrugs* Had to.

Jace

The battleground... I remember where it is in my head and head off towards the space. I find her waiting there and sigh. F**k my feelings. Nothing can happen to ruin our friendship. Especially those thoughts...

"Hey," I flash a smile, "Thanks for coming. My Dad...he's being ridiculous again and you..you're the only one who knows about...before."

I look down and swallow, blinking back each of my memories.

Rayah

I nod a this words, glancing out of my thoughts to look at him. Before thinking I start just walking around the place in random directions.

I flash a smile at him and just walk in circles around a rock, bored out of my mind. "Talk." I say, looking up the mountains to see if Jesse was still at work. Nope. I stop walking and lean against the rock, waiting for him to speak.

Jace

I take a deep breath and follow her to the rock while keeping my distance.

"Be honest with me. Do I have an attitude?" I ask, wanting to get this out of the way first.

Rayah

I shrug, looking over at him. "Sometimes. Depends what has happened and what made you have the attitude," I reply, confused. "You're dad is mad about that again?"

Jace

I narrow my eyes at her and cross my arms, suppressing a smirk.

"Yeah," I say, then look away, "And he found out about me leaving at night...Or rather, Apollo found out and tattled."

Rayah

I let out a chuckle and smirk, looking foward, "Good luck dealing with Main Court, Jay," I use my nickname for him. "My parents and your dad are in it. If you do something wrong around here....The Main Court finds out. Have they put it on you're records yet?" I ask, pushing myself off the rock and watching chariott's fly by to the capital's building.

Jace

I look down, digging the front of my sneaker into the ground, "No. I just got a warning. But I'm being watched now, apparently. More closely than before anyways."

Rayah

I look at him wide-eyed, "Lucky. They never ever give me warnings," I sigh, crossing my arms. "Do you have a cerfew?" I ask, wondering how far they pushed him.
