Setting: Demeter Cabin, June 9th, 2017
Theriasa DeLuca sat on her bed in the Demeter Cabin, reading a book on plant life, her brown hair pulled into a ponytail behind her head. As her light green eyes glided over the pages, she couldn't help drumming her fingers against the back cover, a clear sign of deep thought.
Suddenly a screaming came from outside.
Tressie's head snapped up, and her book snapped closed. She stood up and bolted outside, where she felt an immediate sense of calm. Being a daughter of Demeter, the outside often calmed her spirits, but she was still frightened.
The first thing she saw was the Cabin One, the Zeus Cabin, the cabin across from hers. There was her friend, Greyson Paris, in front of it with his brother, Cole Paris, son of Hades. There was lightning? Normal. Zapping at Cole? Normal. Cole was on fire and screaming? Nor-NOT NORMAL! NOT NORMAL AT ALL!
"TRESSIE!" Cole yelled, "HELP ME!"
"I'm not the water one!" Tressie responded, her slightly Italian accent raising an octave, "Get your brother!"
"HUNTER!" Cole yelled for his little brother, Hunter Paris, son of Poseidon.
Hunter poked his dark brown haired head out of his Cabin Three's door, "Wha-OH MY GODS!"
"PUT IT OUT!" Cole screamed.
Tressie grabbed her canteen from her cabin and threw the water in it at Hunter, who manipulated it and doused Cole with it.
"Greyson," Hunter sighed, while Cole spat electric-tasting water out of his mouth, "You can't set Cole's clothes of fire, you know that!"
The oldest boy made a face, his deep blue eyes scrunching up, "I didn't mean to!"
A few other campers began to come out of their cabins to see what was going on. Lyosha Markov, a russian son of Hebe and Cole's best friend, ran up to Greyson, his brown eyes wide.
"What happened?!" he asked in his Russian accent.
"Greyson set Cole on fire," Hunter explained.
"No I didn't!" Greyson protested, "It was an accident!"
"Yeah right!" Cole growled.
"Calm down," Tressie said.
At that moment Alej came out of the woods Nathan laughing next to her, then she saw what was happening and in fear accidentally encased herself in a protection bubble.
"Ahh! Oh no, not again!" She kept doing this whenever there was danger, and if you tried to touch the bubble, there were various ways for you to be hurt. Mostly just a zap that made you fly ten feet away, but sometimes when she's really mad she'll do the spell so she can't hear you either and your hand gets set on fire if you touch it.
"Chill out," Cole said with a roll of his honey-like eyes, "Hunter put out the fire already."
"You're welcome," Hunter snapped.
"Guys," Lyosha sighed.
Tressie smiled, "It's about time for breakfast guys," She remarked, "I've gotta take my brothers and sisters to the dining hall, I'll see you guys later."
"Oh, um, I'll try to calm down before then." Alej said, still sounding a bit scared.
They met at the dining hall, and Alej was still trying to pop the bubble surrounding her.
