Alrighty People, the Full First Chapter begins, I hope I corrected it accourdingly! So here we go, hope you like it. ;)
Disclaimer: I am not Rick Riodran no matter how much I wish I was.
"Kelly come on, you freinds are waiting for you at camp!" I heard my mother call.
"Alright Alright!" I shouted back grabbing last minute things and rushing downstairs.
The school year was finally over and I can't wait to return to the best place on earth,
Camp Half-Blood of course.
"Sweetie did you remember to pack everything?" My mom questioned when I got downstairs.
I mentally cursed to myself, I forgot my sword, Ocean Splicer upstairs.
"Where would I be without you mother dearest?" I smiled and gave my mom a peck on the cheek.
After turning my sword back into it's standered key necklace form, I rushed back down the steps bidding farwell to everyone and running to meet my mom in the car. On the way there my phone started ringing, I checked the caller Id and smiled as I answerd.
"Kelly Tides, where in the world is your face!" My half-sister Sea Jackson yelled.
I responded laughing, "Holy Poseidon calm down, Im on my way!" I replied. She was telling me about an announcment Mr.D made when I heard Sea squeal and laughter in the backround.
"ALEXANDER RILEY YOU WILL PAY FOR THAT!" Sea yelled to whom I would say it would be safe to assum Alex in the backround. I internally sighed, I knew Sea kinda had a little crush on him for awhile now. Whether or not he returns the feelings I have no idea, but I'm making sure I find out soon. We soon saw Thalia's pine on top of the hill, home sweet home. I basically sprinted inside the border and looked out across the valley.
All seemed normal below I could see Lacy,Victoria, and the Stolls, up to their usuall pranking, Over in the shade of the forest Nico was helping Zane, Evelyn, and Mela perfect shadow travelling. By the cabins Juan, and Sarah were tending the brazer with content looks on their faces. Over in the Archery range I saw Evan, Samantha, and Mirnada practicing. In the sparring arena Indigo was hacking through the dummies like no other. Over by Zeus's fist Annabeth Delaney, Vee, and Aron were most likely scouting out places to put the flag for lastly at the beach, Luna, and James were using the spray of the waves to make rainbows and change the rocks diffrent colors. Somethings never change, but I am compleatly okay with that.
I set my stuff in my cabin, breifly wondering were in the world Sea could have gone. I shook my head, she's probably with Alex right now causing trouble. I told myself as I walked to the forages to see my favorite guy in the world, Leo Valdez. As I entered Jose, Leo's younger brother gave me a knowing smile and pointed to the back room. A small blush graced my cheeks as I nodded my thanks and headed to the furnace room. I found Commander toolbelt tinkering away on some gadget im sure he will explain in length later. I stood there for awhile smiling fondly to myself as I relized how much I missed the crazy, hyper, son of Hephestus. He finaly looked up and greeted me with my favorite crooked 100 megwatt smile.
"Kelly, it's been way to long chicka!" He said as he engulfed me with hug. I prayed to everything that was holy he could not see my face, because it was redder than the paint on the Ares cabin.
"It's nice to see you again to Repair Boy." I smiled using the name Piper gave to him. We chatted about camp stuff for awhile and then I promised to catch up with him again later, I wanted to visit some other freinds too.
As I was exiting the forages I was greeted by Sammi, Daughter of Athena. She's one of my closer freinds at camp, Next to Luna and a few others. I gave her a great big hug and we started chatting about the upcoming summer, apparently there is a rumor flying around about a freindly competition between Camp Jupiter and Camp Half-Blood.
"Isn't It exciting, I mean think of all the strategic possiblities." Sammi sighed her eyes far off. I had to agree, not with the whole "stratagies" stuff but the chance of meeting new people always excited me.
"I think we should go ask Chiron about it." I said looking at Sammi. She nodded in agreement as we set of towards the Big House.
Chiron and Mr.D were in their usual place on the porch, I heard Mr.D sigh when saw us approach. Chiron shot him a warning look as Mr. D looked back down and grumbled under his breath. I chuckled internally, even though I would never say it out loud I kinda liked the grumpy old camp director.
"Chiron is it true that were going to have a "freindly" competion with Camp Jupiter?" Sammi questiond. Bold and right to the point,
I couldnt help but let a small chuckle escape my lips. That was one of the reasons Sammi was one of my good freinds, she knew when to get down to buisness.
"Yes child, it seems the word leaked out, though it really isnt surpising. I was actually epecting it to get out sooner." Chiron confessed his eyes twinkling as smiled at us fondly.
"This is awesome! We get to meet new people and show the Romans what Greece is all about!" Me and Sammi whooped.
"Im going to tell my cabin mates! we have to start planning." Sammi gushed, then sprinted towards the Athena cabin.
I bid farwell to Chiron as I walked off the porch, I just stood for awhile not sure of what to do next. I heard Percy talking across the way giving a tour to some new campers, It really astounded me how many new campers we've been getting. I decided I should walk over and introduce myself, there was Nicolas Muir Son of Dionysus, Skye Decour Daughter of Dionysus, Selena Moon daughter of Ares, and shes on a short leave from the Hunters, Celia and Nate Skywalker, Twins of Zeus but were raised by Apollo and Artemis. I smiled at the last name Skywalker, I'm a little bit of a Star Wars finatic. I made a mental note to ask them about that later, then lastly their were two peticular guys, they were children of the older gods. Grayson Quill, son of Odyne , and Ryder Nightlock son of Erebus. I felt an odd chill in the air, I just knew those two would be important.
I shook it off for now, I needed some relaxation time I jogged to my cabin to throw on my swim suit and headed to the beach, but not before making sure Leo knew I was going down there. You know just in case he "happend" to walk down and chat for awhile. After relaxing and talking with Leo I headed back up to the Poseidon Cabin to find Sea and Percy already out cold snoring in harmony on their beds. I grinned wickedly and recorded some of it to use for blackmail later, Travis and Conner would be so proud. I changed into my Pj's and crashed on my bunk thinking about the upcoming challanges between the camps. All I know is, it's gonna be one heck of a summer.
I woke up the next morning to be greeted by a grinning Sea Jackson.
"Morning Sunshine, hurry up and get dressed theirs a meeting in the ampetheater, it's about the Romans." Sea told me excitment clear in her voice.
"Alright give me about ten mintues." I grumbled. I am not a morining person in the slightest, unlike my lovely half sister who was practically bouncing off the walls.
I walked to the ampetheater where the rest of the camp was gathered, Chiron stomped his hoof as the crowd hushed eager to hear about the upcoming challange. There were to be an assortment of tasks all taking place inside the camp. It ranged from Sword fighting, to chariot racing, to foot racing, even basket weaving. The Romans were apparently arriving in 3 to 4 days, we had until then to prepare ourselves and I was more than ready. I turned to Sea who had a glint in her eye, a glint that I knew ment that something was about to go down.
"To the Practice arena sister dearest?" Sea asked me grinning.
"To the Practice arena." I agreed, smiling like the cheshire cat.
