Another Regular Day at Camp Half-Blood
-Travis Stoll POV-
If you're reading this right now, then you need to know one thing—
IT TOTALLY WASN'T MY FAULT!
So, Katie will probably tell you that it was my fault, but she lies.
Don't take my word for it. Ask her if the Crab Lake is poisoned, and when she says no, then jump in and I'll laugh. Because—you guessed it—it's actually poisoned.
Anyway, I'll continue. It was just a regular day at Camp Half-Blood. The Ares cabin was organizing a group paintball fight, the Demeter cabin was challenging the Apollo Cabin to a basketball match, (not a good idea, they should have asked the Hermes Cabin; we challenged them last week and they beat us 234 to 1) and the Aphrodite cabin was running after some satyr with a bucket of hair dye. So, yeah, just a normal day.
And what was the Hermes Cabin doing, you might ask?
Well, that's a very good question.
"On my mark!" my brother Connor hissed. "One, two, three, LAUNCH!"
I pressed the big red button, and the ground started to shake. All the campers started screaming and running around in frenzied circles. Margaret from Athena cabin was screaming, "ZEUS! HE'S OUT TO GET US! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!" Then she fainted dead away, and Gracie from the Apollo cabin had to pick her up.
Chiron came out of the four-story Big House, looking worried. "Everyone, to the earthquake cellars. Quickly!"
The campers that hadn't already gone berserk started screaming and pushing other people out of the way, running like crazy people to get into the cellar. Nobody seemed to notice that the Hermes Cabin was missing in on the action.
Excellent.
Connor and I high-fived while the rest of the cabin chuckled along with us. Of course, there was no earthquake, and Zeus was not coming down to punish the camp. This earthquake was completely Hermes-approved and Hermes-made. See, the other cabins think we're not smart. They're the stupid ones.
Chiron finished herding all the campers into the cellar, and he slid the large wooden door shut. We nodded to Vera, our lookout, who gave the signal to Justin. Quickly, he ran across from his hiding place in the trees to the cellar and latched it shut. Our plan was underway.
We climbed down from our spot on the Hermes roof and gathered the Hermians together. "OK, guys. On the count of three, follow out the plan. You do know it right?"
Abby raised her hand. "Um, what exactly was the plan?" Abby wasn't the brightest.
In response, Connor held up the huge trash bags and dumped them onto the ground. Out spilled millions of rolls of toilet paper, spray paint, silly string, and much much more.
Connor grinned evilly. "We're gonna trash this place worse than Hades. Oh, and by the way, try and make it look like Zeus did it or something. Now, break!"
We all grab stuff gleefully and run off in different directions. Allison put silly string all over Chiron's chair. Ron took care of all the roofs. Abby and Marianna bravely tackled the Ares cabin. The only one we didn't touch was the Athena cabin. Those guys are seriously scary.
I was about to head to the cellar door and paint that too (pretty bold move, even for me) when I felt a tap on my shoulder. I spun around expecting to find Connor, but instead got face to face with Katie Gardner, leader of the Demeter Cabin, bossy as ever.
My brain froze as I tried to come up with an excuse as to why we're toilet papering the Camp, but I didn't think she'd buy the Post-New Years party thing that we came up with. Wow, that even sounds stupid in my head. Who came up with that lame excuse?! Probably Abby.
I went for it anyway. "Um, we were just having a post- New Years Party?"
Yep, she wasn't buying it. "So why is nobody else here?"
"Oh, you know, they went off to party somewhere else."
"Like in the cellar?" She pointed to the cellar door, which was starting to shake. Guess people found out that they were trapped in their. We needed to hurry.
Katie raised her eyebrows as I fished for an explanation. Finally, she grabbed my spray can and said in a bossy tone, "I'll take that. Now, we should probably let the campers out of the cellar so that you can receive the proper punishment."
I gritted my teeth and reached for the can, but before I could get it back, the cellar door burst open. Clarisse and Chiron were standing in the doorway. "You are SO DEAD, PUNKS!" Clarisse screamed. I looked behind me, expecting to find the rest of my cabin, but nobody was there. They must have escaped into the cabin. Then I noticed that Chiron was coming closer to me and Katie.
Chiron cantered up. "Travis Stoll and Katie Gardner! WHAT in the name of Zeus do you think you are doing?!" He gestured around at the mess.
Katie opened her mouth, but the words were garbled. "I- not me- Travis- he- I just- not me- him-he….not me!" Chiron looked pointedly at my spray can in her hand, and she fell silent.
Chiron glared at us. "Both of you follow me." We trudged up after him to the Big House. I noticed that someone (probably Ron) had written 'Camp Half Blood die! From, Zeus or something else'. I smiled, and immediately, Katie turned on me. "Oh, so you think this is funny? We'll probably get some huge punishment!"
I rolled my eyes. "Probably."
Katie's breaths started coming shorter and shorter until she was close to hyperventilating. "What is he makes us go into the forest?! What if he makes us fight to the death?! What if—
"If he burns us at stake?" I offered helpfully. "Seriously, calm down!"
"I can't calm down! Don't you understand?!" Katie's voice was shrill. "And its YOUR fault that I'm in this mess in the first place!"
I curled my fists into tight little balls. "Look, I didn't ask for you to come and ruin everything!"
"You're SOOO annoying, Travis Stoll!" Katie huffed.
"Back atcha, Bossy."
Katie glared at me one more time and then flounced after Chiron, and I quickly followed. I might as well get this over with. Probably Chiron would just make us clean it all up. That wouldn't be so bad, right?
Boy, was I SO wrong.
Cliffie! Anyway, Margaret, Gracie, Abby, Allison, and Marianna are all real people. Margaret and Gracie are exactly how they are portrayed in this story. Example: Last week, Margaret was just sitting there in Centennial Lobby at school, and a picture frame falls on her head and she gets a concussion! And then when Gracie finds out, she falls out of her desk laughing. Anyway, Abby is not actually dumb, shes super-duper smart! Hi Abby! *insert spastic wave here* Yeah, so I hope you liked the story! Review!
Yes, Allison, I DID remember the disclaimer, FINALLY!
