I don't own Percy Jackson or any of the characters or stories.
In case some don't know Hypnos is god of sleep basically
So dinner was a blast. Literally. Hypnos cabin set ablaze so fast it went up in what? 3 seconds? If that, everyone ran over as fast as they could. I shouted for Lulie, she was one of my best friends youngest in our group; she was in there with all the other Hypnos kids. Guy, Ash and Clarisse and a load of other Ares kids ran in to the cabin. I wished Percy was here he could put this fire out but he was on a quest. Part of the roof fell in and over half the kids screamed. I wanted to go help but I knew I wouldn't be much help. When most people backed away me and Harley didn't. We both were hoping they would all get out, mostly Ash, Guy and Lulie. A load of campers come running back with hose pipes anything to put the fire out. After the fire started to die down Clarisse, Guy and the rest of the Ares children come running out. Slowly one by one they came out all carrying Hypnos children. Guy has Lulie, she was safe. Then the whole cabin fell. Putting the fire out. Everyone screamed admittedly I screamed a lot but hearing some of the campers was a shock. I scanned the crowd. Ash was missing I shouted for him so did Harley, she always had a thing for him and I'm pretty sure I saw them kiss the other day. I ran over to guy and Lulie who seemed to slept through most of it, she had a couple of burns, a bad one on her right foot. Apollo kids ran over and took everyone who had gone in the cabin or was in it already to the infirmary. Guy stayed though, claimed he was fine would go down later. He hadn't realised ash was missing. I turned to H (Harley but she preferred h) but she wasn't there, she was searing through the remains of the cabin ( I could still feel the heat coming from the cabin even though the fire was out, for a child of Athena this wasn't her smartest moment, she must know it's dangerous.) I run after her with guy, H picks up a piece of wood and moves it and screams at the top of her voice "NO, ASH NO" and bursts out crying. I pull her straight into a hug and move her away. Guy starts cry but doesn't leave the side of Ash. Ash was guy's brother. Amazing how fast it can go from is to was. H muffled into my shirt "Miller, he can't be dead, he was too young, and I...I... I loved him NO." Darcy ran over and took H from me and I went over to guy. He was crying sat on the floor holding ash's hand. His brown eyes still where full of life, his hair still messy and greasy the way it always was. Half of his skin was burnt. Ash was the only one who passed away. He was the main one in our little group he held us together and now he was gone. Guy stood up; I was scared what he was going to do. he screamed so loud I almost covered my ears and shouted at the top of his lungs right to me "Why did he die?" almost as if it was my fault "My younger brother Ash, killed by fire, what kind of sick joke is this? Tell me Miller?" I wasn't good at calming guy down. Elliot was the best he was my brother, same godly parent, Hermes, not the same mother – unlike Guy and Ash who has the same dad and mum. Elliot calmed Guy down and took him to the infirmary. I looked down at ash and I finally started to cry. I remember running into the forest followed by Darcy and H but then I don't remember much else. Time just stood but at the same time vanished. It wasn't till late on past curfew we was found by another camper and told to go back to our cabins. We walked H back to Athena's cabin and me and Darcy walked to Hermes cabin. I was Hermes son I have known since I was 12 and turned up at camp with Darcy who was 8 at time. Darcy is a couple weeks of being 13 and should be claimed soon but she hasn't been yet so she stays In Hermes cabin. I have known Darcy all my life she lived next door. She was small for he age but a very fast runner with long jet black hair running down to about mid back, with ghostly white skin that she could be a ghost. Big brown eyes that always looked innocent, she was beautiful and I love her as a sister but a sister only. It wouldn't surprise me if she was daughter of Aphrodite. I have no clue who her godly parent could be as she was fostered and both parents disappeared. That's why she hates being unclaimed it's like saying 'oh yeah we found your parent but we aren't going to tell you who it is.' When we get to our cabin all the lights are out and its dark but no one asleep you can just tell. Me and Darcy go straight to bed, we don't even get changed. It takes me a while to fall asleep. But when I do I don't dream I sleep straight through.
I wake to Connor and Travis shouting miller down my ear the cabin is empty apart from us 3 and Darcy. As I stretch I whack Connor on the nose giving him a nose bleed but it doesn't last very long. Darcy wakes up from Connors yelp and comes over and sits next to me and leans onto me. I guess we have accepted each other as family, brother and sister. We are both only children so I'm glad to be able to say she is my sister. If I did not many people would believe me as I have blond hair which swipes across my forehead, pale skin but not very, I'm tall even for my age with blue eyes and a long nose. She is almost the opposite. I look at Travis and he looks scared I ask him what's going on and he starts to explain that they started the fire, by accident it was a prank gone wrong. I was taken for words I stared into space. Thinking about ash, admittedly demi-gods do die often on quest but it's a shock and more upsetting when they die on camp, worse when no monsters are involved. Ash was the oldest in the group, 17 and had been here since he was 10. Never went home here all year round, did 4 quests. I wake from my day dream when Darcy screams
"How could you? You and your stupid pranks! Death is no joke, I hate you both, how could you?"
And then she storms out the cabin, Connor and Travis turn to me and both start apologise again. I tell them don't beat themselves up over it and that accidents happen but I really wanted to punch them both. I run after Darcy when I get outside I realise that it about 11am and got to sleep longer. Darcy could be daughter of Ares with her temper but I don't think she is, she's too innocent. I notice Darcy has ran over to the campfire, which is usually lit. I guess it not because of what happened yesterday. I scan all the faces; Guy, Elliot, Lulie (who's awake) H and Darcy. I feel like is someone is missing then I realise its Ash. All at once almost in sync they all say "hey, Miller". We sit in silence until we can't take it anymore in and we all start to move in our seats. It's Elliot who breaks the silence which is strange it's usually guy. Not long after Chiron comes over and says he's deeply sorry for our loss, this starts Lulie off he brown eyes fill with tears which shine against her dark skin tone. When Chiron tells us the Connor and Travis told it was them that sent guy off. I thought he was going to go kill them but he didn't make a sound or move. H's eyes are red from crying. Its then time to get lunch as we head over no one specks apart from Lulie who is muttering to herself. As we sit down Chiron goes to speck, I try to listen but I find myself getting distracted by basically not good at paying attention. I suddenly pay attention when I see a glow coming opposite me; I let out a small scream (so do some others) I look over to see Darcy being claimed by her godly parent which suddenly explains a lot.
