Half Bloods Are Found
#1:Maridith Reames
A normal day in the summer camp mostly known as Camp Half-Blood. The little birds chirping, the distant notes of reed pipes played by satyrs in the strawberry fields, the little tink, tink, tink of hammers going onto metal in the blacksmithing shop.
One especially, Maridith Reames. She was known to make as great weapons as Charles Bekendorf, who, sadly, died long ago. She was nonchalantly doing her own business, making weapons, when something passed by the shop. She looked up, sensing someone. The person walked in, or more likely, trotted in.
"Oh. Hi, Pedro." Maridith said. Pedro was a satyr, if you could guess, and used to be a friend of hers.
"Hi Maridith. How's life treating you?" Pedro asked.
"Oh, not so good. See, I got my eye popped out and my dad, apparently, got himself killed trying to smuggle me out of here." She replied sarcastically.
"Listen, Mare, I'm sorry about what happened, but-"
"You know what? Just get out."
Pedro understood that it was a touchy subject and walked away thinking, She's gotta get over it. It's been four months.
She went along her business the rest of the day.
When dinner came, she trudged up the path to the eating pavilion. Most of the camp was already there, but Maridith was incredibly slow, still thinking, Why am I here?, this place is horrible, and the Underworld is better than this.
She sat with her cabin, Hephaestus. Most of them kept back from her, the rest tried to get her to get over it, but she couldn't.
It was Wednesday, the sing along night.
They sang various songs, mostly about the Gods.
Then something very odd happened. A red headed girl started walking towards the camp, fully awake, but with a worried expression.
"Chiron? Chiron!" She called.
Chiron, the activities director, walked to her, and said, "Rachel, what's wrong? Did Mrs. O'Leary bite you again?"
"No, I didn't make myself-" She stopped.
The entire camp was looking at her, especially Maridith, with envy.
Then Rachel spoke again, only scarier.
"One of the half-bloods have answered the call,
And stop the evil once and for all.
She shall face a hero that has turned,
And finally receive what she earned."
Rachel then stood still, leaving the entire camp in terror. When all came back to their senses, they all slowly looked at around, to find 'The One'. Maridith worried, since she said she.
It could be any girl here; I hope it's not me.
Everyone looked at Rachel again. She looked like she was drifting into Lala Land. She came back to life later, and pointed directly at, guess who? Maridith.
"That's her . . . She's the one." Rachel said, then passed out into a puddle.
Oh man, Maridith thought. This cannot be happening . . .
"Maridith Reams, you will help save the world." Said Chiron. He said it like Darth Vader telling Luke (No, not the one in the series, he's dead) Skywalker he's his 'father' or whatever.
"That's a very scary way to introduce me and Crap!" Maridith said.
#2: Macy Lange
"Candi! Candi Lange, over here!" Called the paparazzi. They all snapped photo shots of Maci's mom, Candi Lange, one of the biggest pop superstars in the
world, now an actress.
Maci yelled, "Back off, you rats or I will rip your heads off!" Maci was known to be a little mean when it's protecting her mom from the dangers of the photos.
Maci and Candi walked into the movie theater to watch an A Midsummer Night's Dream remake, starring her mother. There was good feedback to the movie, so they hoped that it would be a record-breaking movie.
Halfway into the movie, there was a scream and a screech, and the whole movie stopped.
A freaky monster came from the part where the projector goes and said, "Where is she?" She looked all over the theater, and then stopped at Maci. "There you are!" She went to the door and ran to her.
"Maci, Maci, Maci, come on! We've must get to camp soon!" said Candi. She had a British accent, so it sounded kind of funny.
They got into her mom's car, a pink Beetle. They sped away, ignoring the stoplights and screams.
While they drove down Hollywood Boulevard and headed toward the Hollywood Hills, their home.
The car stopped right at the gate, where it opened automatically. Maci's aunt, Aunt Donna, was at the front of the car door with a worried look on her face.
"Mace, I got your text, are you guys okay?" she said.
"We're fine. There was-"
"A sphinx showed up at the movie premiere." Her mom said. She walked passed Donna and went to her bedroom with something gold and round.
Candi went up the steps as fast as she could. She had to warn her, uh, ex-boyfriend about what happened and that Maci needed to get to camp immediately.
When she got to her room she closed the door and got her showerhead. It was one of those showerheads that you can take off. She set it to mist, and threw the golden drachma into the mist.
"O goddess, please accept my offering." The drachma disappeared into the mist. "Apollo, Mount Olympus." Candi said with confirmation.
In the mist there was an image o sets of houses, very grand, WAY more fancy than their mansion. That image faded and there was another image with a familiar man reading a newspaper on his sofa. He must've felt something, because he looked up from his newspaper. His face turned to her, his face changed from angry to surprise and wondering.
"Candi, is that you?" He said. He looked exactly like he looked like 14 years before. Brown hair, sunglasses and such.
"Yeah, yeah, it's so good to see you, blah, blah, blah. Listen, a sphinx came after Maci, and I think it's time for her to go to camp."
"Okay, it is your decision. I will order Chiron to send a guide for her. Goodbye . . ." He said, his voice drifting off from the mist.
"Please insert one more drachma for five more minutes," said the mist. Candi waved her hands around it and turned off the showerhead.
Outside, Maci heard everything. The message, the guy, the timer lady. What happened to this world? Maci thought.
The next day, Maci went down the stairs to the dining room. Aunt Donna was there eating breakfast already, but there was a plate of half eaten pink chocolate chip pancakes.
Okay, so the pink food is very odd. Candi has a little obsession with pink things, like that High School Musical character, Sharpay. She refused to eat anything not pink, so the butlers and other people had to dye the food she ate pink. If they didn't, she would go on a crazy rampage.
"I'm guessing Mom left already." Maci said, sipping her milk.
Aunt Donna nodded. "There's someone here to get you."
A kid about Maci's age walked in the room with a Coke can in his hand. "I'm Pedro. Your dad sent me her to take you to camp."
"Okay, all of you people here are crazy because I know for a fact that there is something you people are not telling me."
"Mace, just trust us, we know what's best for you. You'll be safe there." Aunt Donna told her. She knew Donna would never lie, it's like if she never lied to Maci she'd be killed on the spot.
"Okay. I'm only doing this because I trust you Aunt Donna." Maci said.
11 Days Later
After traveling across the country, Pedro and Maci finally made it to Camp Half-Blood. They fought many monsters, most of them in the Salt Lake City area.
Maci was greeted like any other new kid in school. Ignored. Definitely noticed. Made fun of.
Eventually everyone got used to Maci and her pranks with her fellow cabin mates, Travis and Connor Stoll especially. She wasn't liked by Mr. D, (Big surprise) the Athena cabin, the Ares cabin, the Aphrodite cabin, and so on. Every soon knew she was a good singer, a very loud one at that. She made friends faster than anyone has ever don in a long time.
Two weeks after she came, she was claimed.
It was on Tuesday morning, a regular morning, not so exiting as other mornings. Right in the middle of her seventh attempt to try swordsmanship (is that right?) when a bright yellow symbol of a bow and arrow.
There were only the Hermes cabin to witness this, and as soon as it happened, one shot a picture, one left yelling, "Chiron! Chiron!" , and someone kissed her. Awkward huh?
