Hey! I don't really have much to say, except... review! Review, review, review!!!!
Disclaimer: As much as I want to wake up and own percy Jackson... I can't :(
I sighed as I trudged up the steps to my cabin at camp Half-Blood. I had just completed probably one of the hardest days of training in my life, and I had tons of homework to catch up on. Plus, my roommates would most likely all be giggly and annoying to be around tonight. Great. Just my luck.
It wasn't easy being a daughter of a goddess, let me just say that now. I was a daughter of Aphrodite. So it's not like I was even that special. I was just another daughter of a goddess who had tens of kids. Maybe even hundreds. Aphrodite was known for her promiscuous behavior.
So there's my mom's story. Don't even ask about my dad's. I had no idea who the heck my dad even was! And I sure as heck wasn't going to ask my mom about it. Seriously. I had only ever seen her once, not counting when I was born. But other then that, I had only seen her once, and it had been eight years ago, when I was six. Anyway, it was probably just one of Hephaestus' kids (He's my mom's husband. Even though having a husband doesn't really stop her from doing... you know... with whomever she wants to). So anyway, I never really got too worked up about who was my dad.
"Hey, Harmony!"
I looked over to see my best friend (and technically sister) Ella waving me over to her bunk.
"What's up?" I asked, throwing my bag on my bed, which was right next to hers.
"Guess who's going on a mission?" She asked, her eyes shining. I gasped.
"What?!" I cried, "You?"
She nodded, her golden curls bouncing with every movement. That was one thing about the daughters (or sons) of Aphrodite. We're all so beautiful. We all have different hair, eye, and skin colors, but we're all stunningly gorgeous.
"So... where are you going?" I asked, suddenly jealous. I had always wanted to have a quest. And now my best friend got to go on one. Not fair.
"I'm supposed to go try to kill the Minotaur," She said, suddenly looking nervous, "It's nothing large, but I'm still scared out of my wits! And... you know what happened to Sarah..."
We both looked down at our shoes, trying to forget what we had heard. Sarah (One of Athena's daughters) had been sent out to kill the Minotaur a few months ago. She had slept in an old tree trunk that was close to where she would strike the Minotaur the next morning. When camp didn't hear from her for a week, they sent someone out, only to find her horribly mauled body. We hadn't had anyone leave on a quest since, and I was scared for my friend.
"Well, the only reason she failed was because she slept on the job. If you go soon, you'll track him and kill him in about a week, or maybe less," I said encouragingly. Ella smiled at me.
"Thanks," She said gratefully, "And... well, I'm supposed to leave tonight."
I faked a smile, hoping that my jealousy was well-hid, "Good luck, sis."
I squeezed her tightly before watching her grab her bag, sword, and shield and head out of the cabin.
So? So? What'd'ja think??? Sorry it was a little short and it might not seem to be going anywhere, but I promise I'll try my best. So anyway, I want to know what you thought of this, so press the beautiful shiny green button right down there, and no one gets hurt!!!!!
