Jasmine's POV

"Jasmine!" A girl from the Ares cabin shouted (Magnolia I think), as I ran as fast as my legs could carry me, my strawberry blond hair in a loose ponytail, some loose curls were whipping around my face. I laughed as the angry girl chased after me. I should probably explain what the Hades is going on. You see, my name is Jasmine Taylor. Daughter of Hermes, and Queen of Pranking. I guess I have attention issues or something, but hey, I grew up with parents that neglected me my whole life. Anyways, back to the reason I was running. The Ares cabin was my cabin's ally in the last capture the flag game. Those back-stabbing liars apparently secretly allied with Athena Cabin (The leaders of the other team), and betrayed us. Of course, we lost. I guess one of the Ares campers just found the little gift I left them. I suddenly snapped my head up. Oops, guess I zoned out. I looked behind me just to see if that Magnolia girl was still following me or not. Looking left and right, I couldn't see any Ares girls in sight. A breathed a sigh of relief, and allowed myself to grin. That didn't last long. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a blur of color fluttering in the sky. My eyes widened in terror, and I screamed an ear piercing scream. The butterfly started fluttering around me, as I scrambled to the Hermes cabin. Panting, I finally reached the steps, slamming the door in the butterflies face. Take that, you flying devil.

Jace's POV

I scanned the crowd, looking for Callie. I was getting a bit worried. She said she was going to hang out with a friend, and would meet him by the coffee shop. She was already 1 minute late! She could be in danger! My foot started tapping anxiously, and flashes of Alec's limp, bloody body lying in that ditch. Lifeless. I grew up as the oldest of 5. Being the oldest, and my mom working 3 different jobs, I was the one to look after my siblings. Making toys for them, going to the park so they could get some fresh air, and walking them to school/daycare every day. Though one day, I took Dash, Ben, Alec, and Callie to the park. Ben being Ben was of course picking on Callie. I was trying to resolve the issue, and was of course too distracted to hear Dash screaming for help. I finally heard him, and ran to find out what was wrong. Turns out a man took Alec. Those next two week were the most stressing ones of my life. The police eventually came to us with a grave look on their faces. The taller on shook his head, with a look of sympathy on his face. He told me they found his little body in a ditch, all matted and bent at weird angles. The next few minutes were a blur. Consisting of screaming crying, and us running over to the ditch. I remember feeling a look of horror spread across u all as Alec's once bright, happy eyes stared up into the sky, filled with lifelessness. I shook my head, trying to clear my thoughts, taking a drink of my peppermint mocha. Suddenly, a small, girl with curly black hair, and brown puppy dog eyes entered, looking around. I let out a breath I didn't even know I was holding, and ran up to Callie.

"There you are! You're late!" I muttered into her hair, picking her fragile little body up into my arms. I walked over to the little table I was sitting at before, and handed Callie the Hot Chocolate I got her. She looked at me, rolling her eyes.

"I'm not late. You're just paranoid. It's very crowded here you know." Callie replied back to me, taking a sip of her drink. I smiled at her slightly. I could never lose her.

Tony's POV

I burst out laughing, glancing at Kennedy and Bob.

"The look on their faces was priceless!" Kennedy gasped, clutching his stomach, and trying to contain his laughter.

I nodded, looking over at Bob, who was pretty much jumping up and down, probably high on coffee. I felt happiness swell up in my chest. This was my real family. Not my dad who only cared about the fame, and not my mom, who I've only met one. These guys were my brothers. And I couldn't be happier.

"Come on guys! Meet me at the Zeus cabin in 10. I'm going to get some coke from the Hermes cabin to celebrate." I pretty much shouted, already running to cabin 11, hearing a chorus of, Okay's behind me.

I was about 20 feet from the Hermes cabin, when I heard an ear piercing shriek, and a flurry of curly strawberry hair head into the cabin, shutting the door with a loud, SLAM. A butterfly fluttered away, its wings flapping delicately. I walked up to the cabin cautiously, and knocked. A small voice responded.

"Hello?"

"Um, hi. Do you have any coke in stock?"

The door opened, revealing a pale girl around my age. She had freckles everywhere, and her curly strawberry blond hair was pulled into a ponytail. All in all, I had to say she was pretty cute. Not in that Aphrodite way, but in a natural way.

She grinned. "Ah, lovely to see another customer, come on in."

She turned around, and beckoned me to follow.

After rummaging through a green bin filled with all sorts of goodies, she handed me a six pack of coke.

"5 drachmas." She said looking over at me with one hand held out, and the other on her hip. I sighed, and fished through my pocket.

"Here ya go." I replied, handing her the money. "See you around."

I walked out of the cabin, and headed to the Zeus cabin.


So, ya. I hope you guys enjoyed it! I tried to capture the characters as best as I could. I have to say, I think that Jace's came out the best! I would LOVE your guy's feedback! So please! Review!
