Alexandria's P.O.V
Clank! Clank!
It was the only sound I heard in the sword fighting arena. I was in the middle of a sword fight with one of my best friends Annabeth Chase; we made a bet that whoever won got 50 drachmas. I did my secret move on her. My move is secret but I'll tell you anyway; It's when I fake-lunge to one side and then quickly come back and knock the sword out of their hands... Don't tell anyone or the next time you wake up you will be in the middle of the ocean. But anyway as usually, my secret move worked and I had my sword at her neck. "There are 50 more drachmas in my pocket." I said with a smile. "Yeah, yeah whatever." She said as she gave me my money. I just kept on smiling as we heard the dinner conch being blown, we started to make are way to supper.
Now time for introductions. My name is Alexandria Madison Young, but call me Alex. I'm 14 years old, but I've been at camp for 6 years so I started camp when I was 8 and I still don't know who my parent is, but I don't mind because I learn so much from the Hermes cabin like how to prank the Ares cabin without being killed or hurt badly or – sorry, getting of topic. So any way, my best friends are Annabeth, Thalia (A/N She did not turn into a tree or joined the Hunters), Percy, the Stoll brothers, Jason, Piper and of course Leo. I have long dirty blond hair that go a little longer than my shoulders and my eyes- my gods my eyes are unique, there a mix of every colour of all the gods eyes. That's why nobody can figure out my parent. You see, I grew up in an orphanage so I don't know if my godly parent is a he or a she. I'm pretty skinny but not unhealthy skinny... Just right. I love music, I love to swim, and everyone thinks I'm really smart, but I would say I'm average. I'm pretty good at archery too. And one time I got dared to ask an Aphrodite girl for a makeover so I went over to their cabin, ask for the makeover, and they said I was so pretty that I didn't need one. I love grapes, the Ares cabin is impressed with my fighting skills and they want me to practice with them. Listen, don't tell anyone but sometimes I swear I see dead people, sometimes in dreams, but sometimes in the day, just people floating around and some stop to look at me and they wave and then they just dissapper. It's really weird, but since I'm a demi-god... normal isn't really real. And sometimes I feel attached to rain and lightning. But I think all of that is normal since I don't know my godly parent. But that's pretty much you need to know about me.
Now supper time with the Hermes cabin is always entertaining. It's either planning for pranks which I love or just jokes which also I love.
But tonight was different. That was when at the head table Rachel stood up and look almost zoned out and then green smoke poured out of her mouth and then her prophecy was recited:
A girl has waited for her parent
A trip to Olympus it shall take
A new love will be inherent
A new god shall be awaked.
Then Rachel came back to herself and everyone was staring at her and she was staring right at me, and the so was everyone else. And then I got it.
I'm that girl.
"Well" Chiron said to me. Pick three people to go with you and then you shall be going in the morning. I thought for a moment and then said "I want all of my best friends to come."
"Well" Chiron said again, "How many do you have" he asked. I counted in my head and then said "8" "Well you can't bring all of them" "But I need to!" I cried "For support. If I'm going to find out who my parent is, I want all of my closest friends to be there with me!" Everyone was watching Chiron and me. Back and forth, just like a tennis match. Chiron stood there for a while then finally said "Very well then" he said. "Make sure you're all pack and ready to go tomorrow morning by 8:00 am, meet on the hill and Argus will drive you down to the Empire State Building." He said. I quickly thanked him and left for the Hermes cabin to start packing as my friends did the same.
So what do you think? That was my first story so review and I'll update soon!
