Six demigods shall choose to face

the close impending

deathly race

close as siblings

with love to spare

will die as thin as air

Erin

No, I didn't choose to be a demigod. No, I didn't want to live a normal life. And no, I didn't want my stepmother to marry my father. So shame on me. It's not my fault my mom is a goddess.

Camp Half-Blood is the only place I can be myself. I can go to archery, or I can just work out some sciency stuff that no one wants to be involved in. That's all I've been asking for my whole life, for me to get to choose. And I chose to live like a demigod. I am counselor of Cabin 6, after Annabeth left, I was the youngest. I knew she was fond of me, and I thought I could live up to her potential. I worked my butt off, and I did. What's weird now, is that my life is a lot like hers.

Like Annabeth, I also have a boyfriend from the Poseidon cabin, Carsten. Same sea green eyes as Percy had, but with the dirty blonde hair that never seems to be tamed. When I came here he was already the most popular kid in camp. Even though he was only 13 and one of the younger campers, he was an all year round camper, as, he always got kicked out of every school he went to for even one day. I was a year round camper too. Not that I have too, but because I want to. I don't fit in anywhere else.

When I came here, Annabeth and Percy were in thier last year. When you turn 18, you're out. Annabeth was the best big sister ever, and told me that I was her favorite sibling, I know Malcolm was her favorite before me though, but after the dragon accident, well, now I took his place. But, I don't think Carsten got off so easy with Percy. Even during my first year and Carsten's second, Percy was still making him prove he was worthy to be his official brother. I think he was just messing with him. Every time Carsten messed up one of his challenges, Percy would smirk like a fool and giggle under his breath. I tried to tell him what was going on, but he wouldn't listen, he was, and I quote "too cool" to listen to a "little girl" like me. Oh, if he knew that I was to be his future girlfriend, you know what, I'll just tell you what happened
