(Hi, sorry.)
I knocked (pounded, more like) on the Apollo cabin door. The curtains shifted and I rolled my eyes at several boys peeking out. I raised my dagger and smirked. The door opened, revealing a tall-ish, blonde kid. "Yeah?"
"I'm Ni-"
"I know who you are."
"Then you understand why I need your help. I want to be able to contact the gods while I'm still awake."
His face flickered with confusion. "You can't do that yet?"
"No, it only works while I'm asleep."
He nodded. "Okay, I think we can work on that. I'm Will, by the way. Will Solace." -
(Ahem. Lone? bianca?)

Hi
-
-
I entered the Apollo cabin and glanced around. I stepped forward and slipped on a pile of papers. An older caught me two inches form the ground and smiled.
"Don't go falling for us just yet, kiddo." He winked. I pushed him away and held to a bedpost for support. "I need your help, Will. And we need to work fast. Dusk and I are leaving at dawn."
The guy who caught me gave a toothy smile. "Say hi to our dad, will ya?"
I raised my eyebrows and flicked my wrist. A ball of fire the size of a baseball floated up next to me. "Try flirting with me one more time," I said, "and this is gonna be you." -
I watched and tentatively ducked through to Nicki.
-
I turned back to Will, keeping my death-ball-of-flames right next to me. "So, can you help me or not? I need to know how to connect without having to get knocked out every five minutes."
Will held up his hands. "Okay, okay. I don't think this should take too long, because you've already connected before and my dad gifted you."
"Where do I start?" -
I couldn't help but smirk as Nicki kept the flames going. I could feel the heat.
-
"Concentrate. You can close your eyes if the outside world is too distracting, but it can work with your eyes open too."
I closed my eyes. "What next?"
"Think about the person you want to connect with, or the place you want to go to."
I wanted to talk to my mom. I guessed she would be on Olympus right now. "Check,"
"Just concentrate. Think about what the person looks like, and concentrate on their face. You should see something in a few minutes." -
I leaned against the wall, looking at the Apollo cabin. It was mostly organized chaos.
-
I opened my eyes and saw a beautiful woman, who grew even more beautiful by the second. She was crying silently, but none of her perfect make-up smudged. "M-Mom?"
"So you see her?" I heard Will, but didn't see him. "Yes," I whispered. She's right here."
Aphrodite looked up, tears overflowing in her kaleidoscope- colored eyes. "Nickoletta?" She whispered. "Is it really you?" -
I shifted uneasily and watched Nicki.
"How long should this take?" I muttered to Will.
He shrugged, "As long as she wants." -
I nodded. "Hi Mom," She brushed an invisible strand of hair behind her ear, smiled eagerly and sadly, and held out her arms. "Oh, my little baby." Mom cried softly. i blinked back tears and ran into her arms. "I love you, Momma," I muttered.
"I love you too, Nicki," Mom said. "What did you come for?"
"I just...want to apologize, for acting a little...ungrateful, I guess, for claiming me yesterday."
"Don't worry about it. You have good reason to hate the gods right now." She chuckled bitterly. "Myself included,"
I pulled away. "I'm leaving in the morning. Can you help Zair find us after the chariot games this Saturday?"
Mom stared at me, tilting her head to the side. "I suppose it wouldn't hurt to help a little." She said eventually, and smiled. "I guess this means we'll be talking more often?"
"If I'm in the mood for it, or if I'm not in a bad situation."
Mother nodded, and waved her hand. "I'll see you soon, my daughter. Goodbye."
I closed my eyes, and opened them again, finding myself back in the Apollo cabin. "How long did I take?"
