Chapter 1 The Welcoming Committee lights up my day


I breathed in the smell of strawberries mingled with smoke from the forges and sweat from the training demigods. I loved the smell of camp.

I looked around and saw some Ares kids sword training in the arena, the Demeter cabin was helping some satyrs in the strawberry field, the Apollo cabin showing off in the archery range, satyrs chasing after wood nymphs, pegasi flying everywhere, the Stolls pick-pocketing Nico Di Angelo, son of Hades.

Shaking my head I continued walking to my cabin. I entered and breathed in the fishy smell of the cabin. Haha giddit? Fishy- ah never mind. I flopped down on my bunk throwing my bag on the floor. I rubbed my eyes. I just got back from school and I was dog-tired. I shut my eyes and sighed contentedly. I was about to drift off when I heard a creak.

My eyes snapped open and traveled to the door. I saw that it was open but no one was in sight. Confused I stood up and walked to the open door. I thought I closed it when I walked in. I closed the door and walked-shuffled to my bed. I flopped down on my bed and was about to close my eyes when felt warm lips on my neck. I jerked away from the lips. I heard laughter coming from somewhere on my left where I felt the lips.

The laughter was familiar and one that made my day light up. Ugh I sound like a cheesy movie. I sat up and threw my arms out. I caught the invisible person by the waist. I smiled.

"Hi, Wise Girl." I breathed where I think her ear was.

"Good Afternoon, Seaweed Brain." She laughed. Suddenly there was an angel in my eyes with golden princess curls and stormy gray eyes in my arms. She was holding her magic Yankees camp in her hands.

I leaned down and kissed her on the mouth. Whenever I kiss her, it feels like I've melted into a puddle of Percy. It only intensifies after every kiss. I kissed her for a few more minutes until we needed this thing called air.

After we broke apart, I leaned my forehead against hers. I stared into her beautiful gray eyes while she stared into my sea-green ones. I pecked her lips one more time before letting her go. She just leaned on me and sighed, contented.
