Hi! Welcome to my story! My name's Liz :) This is my second fanfic, first PJO fanfic. Please read and review if you feel inclined to. I'd love that! Enjoy!
DISCLAIMER: I do not own the Percy Jackson and the Olympian series. That belongs to Rick Riordan and I would never think of stealing it. I do, however, own Aaron & Marissa, though they're not based off of anyone in particular. NOW ON WITH THE STORY!
Occupation-Demigod
Story 1-Aaron Ainsworth
Main Characters:
Aaron Ainsworth (age 12)
Marissa Belden (age 12)
CHAPTER 1
August 1st
Me? I am merely
A son of god Apollo.
I think I like that.
Aaron smiled and set down the notebook. It was his secret "diary", except, of course, he didn't think of it that way. Plus, it was mostly all written in prose. A son of god Apollo. He loved the way that sounded. Most young half bloods were confused and afraid when they learned of who they really were, but not this one. Although it was only his 5th day at Camp Half-Blood, and Apollo had only claimed him the day before, Aaron already loved being a demigod. Feet on the ground, head in the clouds, 12 year old Aaron Ainsworth was determined to live up to his potential. He had a big heart and even bigger dreams. He was going to make the best of this new life.
August 14th
Hi. It's me again.
Haven't written in some time.
I was too busy.
It was 6 in the morning, but Aaron couldn't sleep any longer. Probably cause I'm one of Apollo's kids. He gets up pretty early in the summer. He thought to himself. Aaron had just returned from camp after spending 2 weeks back home with his mother, celebrating both his birthday & hers, as they were a mere week apart.
"Hey there Aaron!" Chirped Marissa Belden, fellow member of the Apollo cabin and best friend of Aaron's.
"Hi Riss. How is your morning so far?" Aaron asked the pretty brunette girl
"Well, good, but I only woke up about 5 minutes ago. I haven't misplaced anything important yet today, so I guess that's a good sign." Marissa smiled. She was always losing things.
"Hey, good job Rissy. I think today's gonna be a good one." And, as usual, Aaron was right. It was at that moment that MichaelYew, one of the older cabin members, sauntered out of the bathroom to go over the cabin's plans for the day.
"Good morning fellow sons of Apollo" Michael said.
"Ahem!" one of the older girl campers cleared her throat.
"And daughters. I'm sorry Lenee." Apologized the elder demigod.
"Thanks Michael. I feel much more appreciated now." Lenee gave a satisfied smile.
"We're going to have an awesome day today, all of us. In about 30 minutes we're all going to head down to practice some archery. Then we'll go to breakfast. I volunteered us to lead a poetry-writing workshop for the Athena & Demeter cabins at around 10, which should only last about an hour. I haven't planned anything for after lunch, so I guess we've got some free time." All the kids cheered. Free time for a whole afternoon? It was almost too good to be true.
"Hey! Don't forget about the sing-along after dinner!" Michael yelled after the campers who had all run off to gather their bows and arrows.
Archery? Cool! Aaron had only tried it a few times before, but he was starting to get good.
"You excited for archery?" Aaron's friend Brandon asked.
"Yeah! Definitely!" and excited he was. All of them were.
"Hey, I'm gonna go find my quiver. Catch you later!" Brandon said & wandered off to find his arrows.
