Chapter 1

Hi my name is Natalie Vencheck and I have been at camp have blood for almost 2 years! and if your wondering i haven't been claimed by my idiot parent yet and i'm flipping 17. Lots of people take guess at my Godly parent but truthfully i don't even know if it is my mom or dad, they both supposedly died in a plane crash (although i don't believe that now). I have Thick chocolate coloured hair that has natural LOOSE curls and a lot of Aphrodite kids ask me if i curl it in the morning, but i tend to comb the curls out more so they are very loose curls. I also have dark green eyes and naturally thick, long eyelashes. I am very active and play, soccer, go snowboarding (when i get to leave camp for Christmas) and I LOVE to break dance but at camp it's more of a hidden talent because nobody even knows. Now your probably thinking damne that girl most defiantly has a boy friend but i actually don't ( but your right about the damne part... i got some pretty nice curves). But i do have a crush on one boy since the day he came, he is friendly, smart, but VERY funny, kinda clueless at times and creative. He also is very strong but he may look a little scrawny and has deep brown eyes and curly/messy brown hair, but he is also very much out of my league. He has been on two quests, is a cabin leader, can flipping wield fire and is named Leo Valdez.

"hey bro, do you think she will rip our heads off if we do this, i don't think it's a good idea" someone whispered, "hmmm maybe but what the heck" another whisper/yelled. Then i'm pretty sure i heard somebody get slapped upside the head, i slowly opened up my eyes to see Travis and Connor rolling around on the ground slapping and hitting each other. "Hey boys, go prank someone else, and yes i will rip your heads off if you EVER try to prank me again"i said, they both froze in place which was pretty funny considering the position they were in. Travis who was on the bottom and being sat on by Connor gave me a crooked grin that was actually quite handsome/hot. Connor got up and offered Travis his hand "thanks man- Travis started, but fell on his butt again when Connor suddenly let go, "DUDE what the heck was that for"Travis snapped! He was about to lunge at Connor when he glanced at what Connor was starring at... me. "Umm Nat, do you always sleep like that" Connor smirked, i glanced down and saw i was only wearing a bra (which was blue and had lace on top, and it's not like i'm "small") and VERY short sleeping shorts. "OH OPS I...umm" thats when i noticed them starring and maybe even slightly drooling, i wanted to run but i decided to make this a positive for me and not for their stupid pranks. "So you like what you see"i asked suductively, Travis snapped out of it first (probably because he was dating Katie) and blushed, "Sorry" he said and walked to his bunk to do something stupid most likely. "hm... umm" was all Connor said, I walked over to him and snapped my fingers in his face, he shot backwards and blushed crimson red. Not again i thought i realized when i snapped my fingers in his face I bent down, showing off a little more than needed, I rolled my eyes like it was nothing and marched off to the washroom.

Later we were all eating breakfast and as usual when i went to the fire I silently prayed for my unknown parent to claim me. I took a seat next to Connor and smirked at him, I purposely wore a crop top with a bando underneath so you could see my slender body and abs. I took some bacon off his plate while he starred at me, "HEY that mine" he shouted, "too bad so sad, you were to busy starring at your possible half sister" i retorted happily as i ate the beacon. " Actually you most likely are not my half sister you are an unclaimed camper soo there is now thing wrong with me checking out a perfectly hot girl like you" he slapped his hands over his mouth at the last part of his comment, he blushed so much it almost looked purple. I laugh my butt off at his comment "THANKS Connor"! When i was about to go into extreme laughter mode i saw a special someone walk in. I stopped abruptly and fixed my black leggings, "thats a new record Nat" Connor slapped my back and i started to choke on my orange juice. "CONNOR"i shouted while choking, i can't believe he said that! "chill out, it's not like he saw" he retorted. "ya he never sees me" i pouted, Connor chuckled " don't think like that, anyway me and Travis- "travis and I" i interrupted, "um ya me and Travis" he smirked " are hosting the all famous Truth or dare in Percy's cabin tonight at 8, you wana come". "I didn't know you knew Percy that well" i said, "oh man, we have been friends since the day he walked into camp, don't worry we will introduce you to the other players" Connor stated "Um sure" I replied. I continued to eat my breakfast in peace until the Ares cabin stormed in. "CONNOR, TRAVIS YOU WILL PAY! WHERE ARE THE LITTLE BRATS" clarisse shouted, "First of all we are taller than you Clarisse, and second-dfbruqirfoqubr, Travis slapped a hand over his brothers big mouth "don't be a smart Aleck" travis hissed, "what did you do" i was getting worried the ENTIRE Ares cabin wash storming over here and they looked mad! "UUMM we kinda spray painted their armor pink" Travis said, "you idiots" i slapped both of them upside the head and hissed "RUN". Without hesitation they both scrambled out of the pavilion and sprinted to the forest with the ares cabin not too far behind.

"Your cabin mates are stupid" someone said I already knew who it was, it was my best and my only friend Baily, "ya I know"i sighed and turned to face the daughter of Apollo. Today her rusty blond hair was pulled back into a pony tail but her side swept bangs were still down, "SO Rusty"i joked, she hated being called rusty. she grumbled under her breath "I also have the best news that will cheer you up no matter what"! she giggled "Once again, are you sure your not an Aphrodite kids"i questioned, "Nope" she said proudly. By now we were making our way down to the cabins to get ready for our fist activity of the day. "WHATS that awesome new you speak of"i asked Baily, "Oh nothing just the fact that Leo Valdez was checking you out this morning while you slapped your stupid cabin mates upside the head"she shrugged and kept walking. I on the other hand, lost my breath and stumbled on nothing "w w what"i almost yelled i was so happy i might explode! " you heard me" she squealed. "OH MY GODS FINALY" i screamed out of joy, without hesitation i started to slowly crump and do a small body roll then started to dougie. Baily was laughing at my happiness but i could tell she was shocked by my dance ability. I couldn't contain it i was so happy i squealed then i did a back walk over and then a couple breakdance moves which left me only the slightest bit dizzy. When i continue my walk with baily i got up a little to fast and got a brain rush i stumbled a bit and then ran/fell into somebody. I shook my head and expected to see stupid Connor or Travis smirking down at me, when i noticed that this person was shorter (but still taller then me), had a well muscled body and hands that were slowly unwrapping from around my waist. I almost didn't want to look up,f or a second i starred at his collar bone (yes i'm that short), then i glanced up and almost fainted again, I Natalie Vencheck was body to body, touching, starring, at LEO FREAKING VALDEZ!

"Oh U-Umm... sorry" I quickly jerked away from him and saw Baily giggling out of the corner of my eye. I cursed silently, "thats fine, you should watch your language" he said joking, but when he winked at me i felt my heart flutter. "Umm i better be off now" I tucked a curl behind my ear and looked down, i just couldn't stand to look into those dark brown eyes they made me melt. "ok but i heard that Connor and Travis invited you to the truth or dare tonight, your coming right"? he asked this while he innocently rubbed the back of his neck, just that made my legs turn to jello. "O-Oh ya I'll be there" I said, I wanted to gush to him all my feelings about him but that would probably creep him out. "ok see ya later" he said, he walked off and made his way to the forage; meanwhile i was blushing like crazy the entire time. Baily came rushing up to me, "OH MY GOD" what did he say! "not much actually just small talk, he is going to the truth or dare thingy tonight too" i explained. Then it dawned on me, Truth or dare is the most embarrassing and ego breaking game ever. As i glanced over at Baily she seemed to notice this too, "ok... well have fun and don't do any stupid dares or answer any stupid truths" she nudged me, "ya i will try"i sighed.

We continued on with our day and i saw Baily occasionally, i gushed about my encounter with Leo, she on the other hand had awesome news! She was now dating a guy named frederick (everyone calls him Freddy or Fred) from the Athena cabin, he was very good looking too; you know with the whole cropped blond hair and grey eyes. Finally after dinner I made my way to the cabin to explain to Stoll Brothers that i couldn't come to their truth or dare thingy tonight.

When i saw that the brothers were not there i just changed out of my cloths into a pair of baggy sweat pants and a short tank top that was solid lime green. I then proceeded to play on Travis' stolen iPod while I waited. about an hour later they walked in fighting about something, as usual. "hey guys look, i can't come tonight to play your games"i explained, "and why is this"? Travis asked with a smirk. "Is it because you found out Leo will be there" Connor grinned from ear to ear and had a mischevieuse glint in his eye, "oh um no... i just don't want to"i finished. I through Travis his iPod and he shoved it into his front pocket. "you said you would come this morning and you can't back out now"Connor said evilly. I quickly scrambled off the bed and made a mad dash for the washrooms, but the brothers were faster than me, "YOU GUYS LET ME GO NOW! OR... OR I WILL TELL KATIE THAT YOU CHECK OUT OTHER GIRLS"! i yelled this to Travis. "First of all i don't so thats a lie, and your still coming with us" Travis said. They grabbed me by my wrists and started to drag me to Percy's cabin, I started to flail around madly when i realized that what i was wearing would defiantly not impress Leo and it would give away my breakdancing hidden talent (it had their logo on it). Now that was the last straw, "CONNOR, I WILL TELL EVERYONE YOU WERE STARRING AT ME HALF NAKED THIS MORNING... AND THAT I MIGHT BE YOUR HALF SISTER". Connor and Travis hesitated, shrugged and continued dragging me; we were almost there. "first or all you could be Leo's half sister for all we know, and second, any sain teenage boy that saw a girl like you half naked would at LEAST glance" Connor explained, i huffed as they opened the door. My life and only chances with Leo were done!

Chapter 2

Percy, Annabeth (who i don't like), Piper, Jason, Katie, Nico, and Leo were all starring at me and the as the Stoll brothers through me into the circle, then they sat on either side of me. I grumbled and cursed a bit and slapped Connor on the face, real hard. "Anyway... Lets start" Travis cheered, i glared daggers at him, he raised his hands up in defense. The only couples in the room were Percy+Annabeth, Jason+Piper and Travis+Katie. We all sat awkwardly as percy and Annabeth's innocent peak on the lips turned into a passionate kiss, Nico cleared his throat. Percy blushed but Annabeth didn't seemed faised. I don't really like Annabeth and it's nothing personal, it's just her I'm-so-smart-and-can-prove-you-wrong-in-any-fight kinda personality. "So who goes fist" Katie sounded very giddy. "what about you" Travis said, everyone shrugged and waited for Katie's pick. "Umm Jason truth or dare", "errrmm DARE" he said proudly, Katie thought for a couple seconds then announced; "I dare you too kiss another girl besides Piper". How lame I thought i could do better than that, "what happens if i don't" Jason asked. "well your ego goes down and you have to take off an article of clothing" Connor explained, "WHAT! Since when did this stripping rule come into play" he waved his arms in the air. "About a second ago" Travis pipped up beside me, Jason was NOT a rule breaker in fact he barely ever made out with Piper let alone kiss another girl; so on that note Jason ripped off his shirt. Piper seemed relieved but also hypnotized by Jason's body, I snickered he probably never took it off for anything that had to do with their relationship. Nico rolled his eyes, "Come on save it for later" Leo announced, Piper blushed and motioned for jason to continue. "Ok... Natalie, Truth or dare" he asked me, I thought that his dares can't be any better than Katie's. Of course they had to start the game, "dare"i replied; he thought and then an evil smirk appeared on his face. WOW never seen that face before, "I dare you to, drag an Aphrodite daughter into the lake WITH you" he commanded. "WHAT that freakin suicide man!" Leo shouted, "SHE's is going to have claw marks" Annabeth whispered, "YUP but a dare is a dare" Percy said back; "guys I can hear you all and much to Connor's disappointment i will except the dare and NOT take my shirt off" I announced. Nico and Katie's jaw fell open, "good luck" Katie whispered to me, I smiled and made my way the lake.

Just with my luck (no sarcasm implied) there was an aphrodite daughter watching the waves and playing with her hair, everybody had gathered behind the pier where the could get a good view. I decided not to give the Aphrodite daughter an option so i just grabbed her by the collar of the orange camp t-shirt and started dragging her along the sand. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING! PUT ME DOWN" she yelled, when i stepped onto the pier and pointed to the end of it she screamed. Then i saw her eyes widen probably in fear of the water wreaking her makeup and hair; she started to dig her nails into me. "OUCH" i screamed at her, she looked shocked for one second then continued to dig in so hard it drew blood, "I SAID STOP" she screamed and flailed around. Finally we made it to the end of the pier and she grabbed hold of the railing and wouldn't let go, "LET GO" i commanded. "NEVER" she screamed back, so we then proceeded to start to fight, thankfully i was winning. We were rolling around on the wooden pier and scream threats at each other, then i managed to roll both of us into the lake. When i came up for air i say her come up as well and she looked down right murderess. "crap" i muttered and started swimming for the shore. She was right on my tail and gaining so when i got out of the water i didn't hesitate to push her back in. When i did i heard laughter explode from pier, i stomped over to them not even worrying about the girl anymore. I saw them all literally ROLF and they wouldn't stop. "come on lets go before the monster gets back or else you will all end up like her" i snapped. I was cold wet and not very attractive (in my opinion). After another 3mins of laughing the Aphrodite girl crawled out and started to come towards us, just in time Nico made us group hug and shadow travelled us back to the Poseidon cabin.

"Connor Truth or Dare" i asked him, he finally stopped laughing and came to him senses "D-Dare, truth is for wimps" he said while still calming down from his laugh attack. Once i thought of my dare i smirked so evilly, apparently it scared them because they finally straightened and shut up. "Connor, I dare you to, Spray paint the Ares cabin's boar head pink- "i've done that" Connor interrupted, "i'm not down Connor, then you bring it to Clarisse and say: I apologize for my actions this morning so as a truce i will offer you, your Boar head back" i finished. Everyone's jaw dropped even Percy and Annabeth's, "Do you want me to start to arranging a funeral bro"? Leo asked, Connor glared at him. From what i have heard Connor and Travis have NEVER refused t do a dare. Connor blinked hard, "i Connor Stoll son of Hermes, REFUSES to do this dare" he said. Everyone gasped but Leo actually said "gasp", with a hand to his mouth; i giggled. "DUDE, you can't refuse, your ruined" Travis yelled flailing his arms everywhere, i grabbed his hand when i ALMOST hit me in the face and said "why? would you do it"? i asked innocently. Travis grumbled and accepted the fact that Connor said NO to a dare. Connor pulled off his shirt reviling a toned abdomen with surprising muscles. Like, i know most demigods do have abs, but Connor was kinda lanky and I didn't expect much. I guess my stupid ADHD brain was starring at Connor and he smirked, "like what you see" he tried to copy my voice but sounded more gay. I suddenly tackled him and we started to roll around and wrestle, Leo started chanting, "FIGHT" with Percy, Travis and Nico but Jason and Piper were laughing and Annabeth and Katie were trying to break us up. "GODS CONNOR YOUR SO ANNOYING CAN'T YOU BE NORMAL" i said defeated. He was hovering above he with a stupid smile plastered to his face, "well this is awkward... for me" i said. Our position was utterly embarrassing, Connor was above me and i had my legs wrapped around his waist and i had one of my hands on his bare chest. Connor winked at me, so i slapped him across the face and untangled myself from him; and when he got up i pushed him back on his butt and said "just get on with the game". Everyone seemed relieved that we stopped but a couple were chuckling. "So... Leo, Truth or Dare" Connor asked?

I can't believe I'm even in the same room as leo, in fact he like 2m from me! I hope he refuses so that he takes his shirt off i thought. My fantasy daydream was interrupted by Leo saying "DARE" i mentally face palmed. NEVER i mean NEVER take a dare from a Stoll brother. "I dare you to start, dirty dancing with any girl in this room in front of the entire camp at the campfire which should be ending in 20mins" Connor said proudly. All the girls in the room stared at Leo and waited for his decision, he would be stupid to say yes... or I just want to see him shirtless... "I ACCEPT" i announced in triumph, "Oh gods" i muttered under my breath, he now has to dirty dance in front of the camp! My emotions were changing their decision every second, like if he did do the dare he would be dancing with another girl! but than again i don't want to be that girl dancing with him! "I choose Natalie" he said, i wanted to melt into the shadows like Nico. Instead he grabbed my hand (which i ALMOST started freaking out about) and led everybody to the campfire.

"Oh gods oh gods oh gods" i muttered to myself, i'm totally going to mess this up. Suddenly i heard a Dead mouse songs come on, my heart did a 360 and my stomach was in my throat. "Don't worry you will do awesome, i saw you earlier" leo whispered into my ear. I i managed to barely shudder but on the inside i wanted to spin around and kiss him. finally i heard, "welcome, Leo Valdez son of Hephaestus and fire wielder and his partner Natalie Vencheck to the stage" Travis and Percy announced. I heard a lot of whispers and people glaring probably for interrupting their sing-a-long, when the song came on (Bangarang by skrillex) we walked into the middle, i made eye contact with Leo. If i wasn't so occupied and nervous i would have screamed with JOY. When the main chorus and faster music came on we started. It looked like we had totally planned this, we flowed together when we were close and moved in sink and took turns when we showed off. I didn't know Leo could dance, but it wasn't anything special. When i had my solo i did so many break dance moves (like a head spin, swinging BOTH my legs around me and etc) when my solo was coming to any end i heard screaming, cheering and people chanting my name. This was so much fun i was relieved to finally breakdance again, i jumped up from my back onto my feet and strutted up to Leo. He grabbed me by the waist and did a couple different body rolls, and then we kind of grinded. But we were so close i think i felt something inside Leo's pants, when the music stopped we did a quick pose and our pose was quite close to each other. I was panting like crazy and my forehead was touching Leo's, and our bodies were so close i didn't think it was possible to get any closer. The crowd started to cheer and clapping and our friends seemed shocked that I could dance so well because they were starring at me. I reluctantly pulled away from Leo and think i heard him sigh, but then i realized my secret was out, i could dance. And to you this might sound crazy but i didn't want to become popular i heard of all the ways you can get messed up and lose your true friends for the fake ones. When this dawned on me, I ran to my cabin and hoped no one was there.

I curled up on my bed and ripped off my damp cloths, i only had a bra and baggy plaid PJ bottoms. I sighed and wished i was still beside Leo, pressed against his body feeling his heartbeat, i just wish he didn't accept the dare and took his flipping shirt off. Someone knocked on the door and i expected to see Baily, Travis or Connor but when Leo opened the door i just starred for a second. "hey" he said, "sorry for... you know" he sighed and sat down beside me, "No it's fine i enjoyed dancing with you" i replied. I was fingering my PJ bottoms when i realized i was half naked AGAIN! I glanced black at Leo and he didn't seem to even stair, "hey Leo, i just wanted to confess that-that i umm"- and then he cupped my face with is hands and said "Natalie I loved you since the day i saw you on my first day at camp, I thought you were way out of my league so I stayed away from you because it hurt too much to be near you" he finished. I just blinked "I-I feel like i did the same with you Leo... Leo I love you". And then he KISSED me! fireworks went off in my mind as we started to deepened the kiss, he whispered "i love you to" and it made me shudder. We fell backwards onto my bed and started kissing again... no no scratch that, making out. His lips were hot against mine but smooth and soft, one of his arms wrapped around my waist and his other held my face. He rolled on top of me and i smiled against his lips, my tongue soon gained access to his mouth and we were then fighting for dominance. We broke apart for air and then quickly got back at it, I ran my hands through his soft curly hair and then in one swift movement i slipped his shirt off. We continued kissing as i started to rub my right hand on his chest, i moved my hand slowly up and down and when i reached his belt/jean line he groaned. He began kissing more passionately and then he slowly sat up while still kissing, since i had my legs wrapped around his waist when he sat up i was straddling his waist. He leaned back against the wall and started to kiss my neck probably leaving about 2 hickeys and i couldn't help but let out a small moan, soon he came back to my lips. And i found myself fingering his belt buckle but not taking it off, i also slowly started to grind my hips into his crotch. He let out a low groan almost a growl and his hand found its way to my bra clasp. Just as things were about to get real heated the FLIPPING DOOR opened and none other than the Stoll brothers walked in. I was going to be teased for months i thought, Boy was i wrong!
