Camp- Half Blood Gets Two New Campers

Lynda and Poseidon's story

Prologue

Lynda Garrison walked in the sand she loved the feel of it hot and soft. How it squished between her toes when she got closer to the ocean waves. She looked up at the moon it was dark outside but only slightly. You could still see it was relaxing. Lynda listened to the waves crashing that always relaxed her and she decided to take a little swim. She had lived her when she was younger right next to the ocean so she knew how not to get pulled away by the currents.

Lynda placed her right toe in the water to test the water. It was slightly chilly but not to bad. She then placed both feet in she was wearing a black one piece bathing suit. She went in to where the waves only reached her waist no further. Her chestnut, brown hair had gotten a little wet it went to a little below her shoulders. Her eyes sparkled in the moonlight they were a deep liquid, chocolate brown.

A man a few feet away watched all this he was standing on the bridge. He had brownish hair that was curly and short with a small beard growing as well. The mad had blue green eyes that shimmered. He wore a Bermuda shirt and pair khaki shorts and land shore flip flops.

Lynda closed her eyes and just let the water flow around her when she suddenly felt her self being lifted by the water. Before she knew what was happening she had been lifted by the currents and were been taken away. She opened her eyes and then closed them tight as she was dunked in the water she swam as hard as she could to try to get back to the shore. But she was getting tired and her legs felt like they were made of lead. The currents keep pulling her away and she didn't want to give up but she couldn't get away. The last thing Lynda felt before she fainted were two strong arm grabbing her from behind and being pulled up next to a firm chest.

Lynda opened her eyes and the first thing she saw was a blurry face above her dripping water on her. She blinked and pulled her self up her body hurt but she was just happy to be alive. She looked at the man sitting in the sand beside her. "Who are you?"

The man looked surprised for a moment and then said, "well proper response is usually thank you."

"Well… thank you" Lynda says a bit embarrassed.

The man has a smirk on his face, "You know you really shouldn't go swimming by yourself at night."

Lynda looks to him for an explanation of how he knows she's alone, "I was watching you from the bridge, you sort of caught my attention." the man says a bit embarrassed. "I'm sorry I didn't get your name" he smiles sheepishly.

Lynda smiles, " Lynda Garrison" she holds her hand out.

"Lynda doesn't that mean beautiful in Spanish?"

Lynda's face turned red, "and your name is?"

He laughs, "now why would you need to know that?"

"Well when I tell this story people are going want to know the name of my hero."

"Hero? I'm no hero those are people like Achilles and Hercules. Who both met tragic ends might I add."

Lynda head cocked to the side, "Hercules didn't meet a tragic end he and Megara fell in love and lived happily ever after haven't you ever seen the Disney movie."

The man really laughs out loud, "the Disney movie huh? Well their less then accurate."

Lynda smiles, "you'd be surprised and don't make fun of my Disney."

The man grin plastered on his face stands up and holds his hand out for her. "Poseidon Brightmore."

Lynda takes his hand and stands up, "Well I guess I better get home before Jaws leaps out and tries to get me."

Poseidon smiles, Lynda makes four steps before her not hero stops her, "how about dinner tomorrow?"

Lynda smiles, "We'll meet here at seven".

Poseidon smiles back at her, "Great" and he walks back to the ocean as Lynda makes it to her relatives house.

The next night Lynda was in her sister's room looking into her a full lengtgh mirror she was staying at her sister Brenda's while she was in Texas. Lynda had about ten minutes before she had to leave.

Brenda walked in and smiled at her sister, "So, what's his name?"

Lynda looked behind her in the mirror to see her sister and smiled. "I gotta go", She says as she rushes out of the room.

Lynda stood by the dock waiting for her not hero from the other day. She wore a turquise colored dress with sequins. It was v neck and went down to her ankles. She wore high heels silver that gave her an inch or two.

Posiedon walked towards Lynda as confident as could be. He wore a bahama Joe T-shirt and khaki slacks his feet though were bare. He shot his hand out offering Lynda to take it.

Lynda laid her French manicured hand in his coarse yet gentle hand as he led her down the side of the ocean to a plot of sand. There stood a small table near a plant of rocks were the waves lightly crashed up against the ever so often. On the table was a white linen cloth. Two wine glasses half filled already with chilled wine a cooler next to it holding the wine bottle to keep it cool. There were plates white with flowery silver linig them. They had what looked like shrimp tacos on them which Lynda curious glanced at weary of them. And in the middle sat a centerpiece vase with daises. "What not roses?" Lynda asked.

Posedion put on one of his melt into my hand smiles and gently said. "I think daisies are prettier. " Lynda smiles and they sit down ready for a some good conversation and dinner.

Lynda sat on her bet listening to Lynda on my mind by Conway Twitty when Brenda walked in. Lynn there's some at the door to see you", Lynda jumped up running for the door. She slowed down when she got closer to the door not wanting to seem desperate to seem him they had been meeting up everyday for the past two weeks and she was seriously falling for this man. She smiled when she saw him right outside the house by the door waiting for her and he smiled back. "Hey" he said.

"hey" Lynda said smiling back at him leaining on the door she had closed walking out to meet him.

"Ready to go" he asked they were going for a trip out on his boat it was around 3 now they would probably be back around ten that night they both loved the ocean and he wanted to show her how calm you could become with out almost drowning.

Lynda laid on the boat it was huge and she sat there basking in the sun in a oair on blue jean short and white tank to it said in big bold letters Dallas Cowboys. Posedion sailed the boat out and then threw down an anchor to keep the boat where it was for a while. You could hardly see the land from where they were. Posedion came and sat down next to Lynda.

Lynda looked at the man who just sat down next her. She got up and sat down to. Posedion took off the sunglasses he had been wearing and smiled at her. Lynda didn't know why but she leaned up and gave him a chaste gentle kiss on the lips.

Posedion smiled down at her and leaned in this time he kissed her to which she deepened it. He put his hand behind her head to keep her from pulling away but seriously she thought like she would actually pull away.

They both pulled away when oxygen became an issue but that certainly didn't stop them from starting it all over again.

Posedion laid there Lynda in his protective hold. They were down in the boat and a bed he had there sheets and comforter covering them. Posedion drew lazy circles on Lynda's stomach lightly with the tip of his index finger. He gave her a light kiss on her neck to which she turned around in his embrace and snuggled up closer to him putting her arms around his neck. Poseidon just let her and held her tighter he hated the conversation that was coming up.

Lynda stood thereby the ocean sand under her feet tears brimming from her eyes. Lynda and Poseidon were the only to at the ocean due to the winds and cold nature of the weather.

Poseidon ran his hand through his messy hair again he had been fighting with himself over this for the last few days but he had too tell her. "Lynda".

"No don't I can't believe you that the best lie you could come up with you're the god of the sea give me a break. I just I don't believe this you chauvinistic son of a bitch!"

Poseidon glared at her but Lynda didn't the stupid jackass was breaking her and mocking while he did so. She could care less what the dick thought. "Lynda what reason would I have to lie to you. I mean Hades woman I'm telling you the truth here."

Lynda laughed harshly, "you know what got screw yourself she said and then she briskly walked away from the man who a few days ago she had loved and wanted to start a life with.

9 months after Poseidon and Lynda broke up Lynda gave birth to one small little half god half mortal baby. She gave birth to a beautiful demigod baby girl.

Four years old

Lynda sat in her closet her four year old daughter asleep in her lap. "This cannot be happening I'm going insane that's the only possible explanation."

Lynda couldn't believe it for the last three years evil monsters had been coming after her baby girl. Lynda had no idea what to think Poseidon had sent her a letter. It explained how she was one of the rare humans who could see through the mist. So this just meant she could see the terrible monsters try to hurt or even kill her little girl.

The girl in Lynda's lap stirred and she raked her hand through the baby hair, "Don't worry Olivia I'll keep you safe mommy's here."

Five years old

Five year old Olivia LeBlanc walked into her Tabernacle kindergarten class her step dad had enrolled her last year. Her dads best friends daughter when here and he thought it'd be nice if they could be friends and know someone at school even though the two girls had never actually met each other.

When Olivia walked in a girl with short brown hair, grey eyes and a red white polka dot dress on stood by a blonde girl. Olivia knew by the girls expression she was her dads best friend daughter they both always looked intrigue by learning something new. Olivia walked up to the girl and held her hand out, "hi my name's Olivia."

The brown haired girl smiled while the blonde sighed and rolled her eyes. "Hi Ollie I'm Cassie and this is Kelly. The girl said pointing towards the blonde. The blonde waved her hand with a fake smile.

Olivia smiled and Cassie made sure Olivia sat at them in lunch and sat behind her in class. Kelly didn't really like Ollie but didn't give her any crap because then Bryan Cassie's best friend and secret crush would probably lecture her.

Thirteen years old

Olivia sat in the lunch area holding hand s with a boy named Jed he was supposedly her boyfriend though they rarely spent time together. Cassie was at the other end staring at a blonde green eyed boy. his name was David Jones and he was a wrestler and Football player so he had some beef on him but Cassie was head over heels for the boy though no one knew why. He was not exactly boyfriend material and he was rude to everyone.

Jed though to Cassie wasn't much better after meeting him the first time Cassie had told Tiffany she liked him but really. The boy was a loser he was way to immature still thinking fart jokes were funny, he and Tiffany spend less time together than her and David who were even going out. The most important though was the boy was flirting and trying to get with Cassie while he was going out with Tiff. Cassie didn't notice the signs but Olivia did and at the time she thought it was harmless.

Fourteen years old

Olivia ran into her house bypassing her parents for her room grabbing her swimsuit and towel. Her and Cassie were going to the lake for the day while her parents moved into to their new house in New York. They were actually spending the weekend at her parents beach house her mom did love the beach.

Olivia ran out of the house give her mom and hug and a kiss and a goodbye to her dad who was a little consumed in his hunting show. Steve LeBlanc was Olivia step dad and she loved him and treated as if he was her true dad because he was the only one she ever knew.

As Olivia jumped into Cassie's dad car she noticed he wasn't driving but Cassie's sister was. Olivia sighed Jessica was Cassie's stepsister and Olivia could not stand her mainly because she was just like Cassie's step mom.

Cassie leaned over, "Don't worry she'll ditch us when we get to the lake."

Olivia smiled this was definitely going to be interesting weekend she thought. Unfortunately Olivia didn't know how right she was.

Athena and Robert's Story

Robert Patterson sat in the middle of the large classroom he would not sit in the front and he knew most of the smokers sat in the back. He watched as a beautiful woman with dark brown hair and Magnetic grey eyes sat down in the seat in front of his. About fifteen minutes later the large room had about one hundred and fifty kids sitting in seats waiting for the professor. A man with a red bowtie and bad suit came in five minutes later. He was bald and had squinty black eyes. "Hello I am Mr. Sanders and this is Greek Mythology 1101. The man's voice was raspy and had a hard edge to it like he didn't really want to be there.

Robert had signed up for this class with the expectation that the teacher would actually care about the subject he was teaching. Boy was he wrong he didn't even get the mythology right. "Athena angered by the drawings of her father in the weavings of Arachne turned her into a fly."

The beautiful Woman in front of Robert raised her hand and the professor called on her, "yes Miss Weaver I believe."

She brought her hand, "Yes sir, you're wrong the woman was turned into a spider."

The teacher glared behind his half rectangle spectacles. "Young lady I am the teacher and believe you are hear to learn. So Athena turned the woman Arachne into a fly."

Robert decides to speak up, "Actually Mr. Sanders she's right the woman was turned into a spider because of revenge."

The woman turned around to look at him and he smiles at her she quickly turns her head back to the front and Robert frowns.

"Mr. Patterson and Miss Weaver since you two know so much would either of you want to come up here and teach the class." Robert notices the woman in front of him eye's narrow if looks could turn someone into a spider the teacher would be one. After a moment or two of silence the teacher continues. The goddess Athena is known as the goddess of weaving, wisdom, warfare."

"Actually sir that's War strategy the god of war is Ares"

Robert then leans close the girl in front of him and almost whispers in her ear, "Right?" The girl's face sort of heats and she suddenly want to turn the cocky man behind her into a guinea pig.

When the class ended Robert saw the woman who he figured out was named Anna walking out into the lunch area. "Hey Anna, Wait up!" he ran up to her but she didn't stop walking. Anna was definitely getting annoyed with the man next to her. "So you like Mythology he asks?"

Anna sighed if he wouldn't leave maybe she could get some humor out of this, "Yeah it's like my life" literally she added in her mind. "Who's Your Favorite God?" She asks. Him being a man she knows he would say Aphrodite.

Robert thought about, "Athena she's smart and hold a conversation unlike some gods namely Aphrodite."

Anna stops at a tree and sits down under it Robert follow's the example and sit down beside her. She looks at him, "What does that mean?"

Robert looks in front of him then straight at Anna, "I have a feeling if Aphrodite were here only two words would be said and probably from you."

Anna rolls her eyes men, "Why because she's beautiful?"

Robert then smirks at her knowing what she thinks. "No because those two words are probably the only ones she knows. She wasn't a very smart goddess. Now Athena she is beautiful and brilliant." Robert thinks for a moment "then again gods weren't known for being all nice and sweet, being up on their high horses and all."

Anna looked at him pointedly Robert didn't notice. "You know maybe they had their reasons."

"There's a reason to turn a woman into a spider?"

"She pissed me off! Her! I mean she pissed her off."

"Right that's a perfect reason to turn a woman into a eight legged freak" Robert says sarcastically.

Robert turns toward Anna, "You know there's a little café right down the block how would you like to finish this conversation there?"

Anna turns toward, "Are you really trying to ask me out?"

Robert smiles, "Depends are you saying yes?"

Anna looks at him, "Give me one good reason why I should?"

He smiles at her, "Because I can carry a conversation and you find me charming and irresistible."

Anna laughs out loud, "cocky aren't we?"

"Oh come on say yes, please" , He pouts.

"Okay, but if you're thinking this is going to get you anywhere you're wrong."

"Good" he says getting up and the helping her up, "Because I wasn't thinking that at all."

When they get to the café he tells Anna she can sit down as he goes and orders two black coffee's sugar and milk for her. He comes and sits right next to her. She had decided on a table outside the sun was out and it was a beautiful day. "so what's you're major she asks him?"

Robert looks up at the sky and the sun, " Oh I'm general I want to learn anything about everything you can never know to much right."

Anna smiles, "Right".

For the next two hours they talked about everything from Greek mythology to the history of the Trojan war.

Anna laughed as Robert smiled, "Come on stop playing you know you can't resist me."

Athena looks at him, "Dinner Saturday we'll meet up at eight."

Robert's smile get bigger, "Great!" and he heads of to his next class.

Friday night Robert was in his dorm he shared with his best friend Steve LeBlanc. Robert was wearing a blue shirt that remind him of the color of Anna's eyes and a pair of black slacks. He also wore a pair of black sock and black shoes, "so man what do you think?"

He says looking at Steve worriedly.

Steve turns from the basketball game and looks at him, "Nice but remember no tie you need to be loose not so uptight."

Anna Was at the Diner Robert's had suggested she was wearing a emerald green silk dress it had spaghetti straps that crisscrossed in the back it went down to just around her ankles. She wore a matching shawl around her shoulders and had a small purse with her. She saw Robert walking up to her he was smiling like a idiot.

When Robert saw Anna he couldn't stop the goofy grin that formed on his face. In his mind she looked beautiful green was definitely one of her colors her hair was back tied in the back with it falling down framing her face she definitely looked like a goddess to him.

He walked up to her and said, "my lady" and held his hand out which she took and he led her into the diner.

Robert and Anna had been steadily dating for six months. Robert was in his room on his bed reading a book on photography maybe that was what he would do. His mother of course wanted him to be a doctor while his dad told him that as long he could pay his own bills and make a good life for a family that was enough.

A knock came at the door so he got a book mark to hold his spot and got up. When opened the door and saw Anna he smiled and gave her a kiss on the lips. For the past six months that's all they had done Anna was really interest ding in having sex yet and Robert didn't want to push her anything he was fine with the pace they were at. "Come in", Robert and moves to let her have space.

Anna walks in with a nervous smile on her face she was wringing her hands and sat down at the end of Roberts bed. "So what's up?", Robert asks coming to sit beside her.

Oh god she so didn't want to do this she thought she hated this part. "Rob" she had grown accustomed to calling him that though everyone else called him Bob. He loved it though told her it was because she was special. "Um.. You remember the day we met when I kept correcting the teacher in class and talked like the Greek gods were real."

Robert could tell she was nervous and laid a hand on her leg rubbing it trying to sooth her. "Yeah what about it?"

Anna got, "Well the reason I talked about them like they were real is because they are and I knew so much because I am one."

Robert looked at his girlfriend, "Annie what exactly are you trying to tell me."

He got up and stood in front of her she looked into he pool green eyes, "My names not Anna it's Athena."

Robert sat down on his bed his head was spinning, "What?"

Athena closed her eyes how was she suppose to explain to this mortal that he had been dating a god for six months.

"Rob…"

"No… he says getting up this is… you know what leave."

Athena looked at him hurt, "What?"

Robert didn't care who she was she had lied to him. He looked at her coolly, "Look I don't care who you are, now leave."

Athena with tears actually pooling in her eyes walked out of Robert dorm room."

Then next day when he went to his 2nd mythology class he shared with her he noticed her seat was empty.

Robert walked back into his mother's house he was staying with her for the summer then he was getting a job at the warehouse his dad worked out so he could pay for his last year of college. He had just finished up a game of pool at the bar with his brother's he asses got kicked. Robert might not be the best at poker but don't challenge him to a game of pool, he will clean the game with you.

Robert sat down at the kitchen table to finish his senior thesis that was on Greek mythology. Ever since that day he didn't know why but he couldn't get Athena out his head. The saddest part was he believed her story and it hurt that she hadn't trusted enough to tell him. For six month she had kept this secret from him and that killed him.

The doorbell ringed and got up he was the only left at home he opened the front and it was empty. That when Robert heard the cry from a basket on his front perch he picked up and there in the middle of the blankets was a little tiny baby and a note with his name on the front. He picked the baby up and she quieted up and looked at him. She had grey eyes just like Athena and all of a sudden Robert understood this was his gift. Shit! How was he going to explain this to his mother.

After the baby fell asleep he laid her back down and picked up the note. He unfolded it and read.

Dear Rob,

I know after are last meeting this is probably not what you want but she is part of you and I hope you can't just turn that away. She was born on the 29th of June and her name is Cassandra please take good care of are child and though you may not believe me I did have feeling for you.

Sincerely,

Athena

Robert pinched the bridge of his nose folded the piece of paper and placed it in the top drawer of his dresser. He looked at the baby girl they had created and knew he would try everything to keep her safe. "Don't worry baby girl as long as I'm alive nothing will hurt you."

4 years old

Cassie sat her knees drawn up to her chest. She was under the stairs in her Grandparent's house hiding. Her dad had made her promise to stay there. Cassie didn't know what was happening but she could hear loud bands so she closed her eyes tight and went to somewhere else.

5 years old

"Daddy!" Robert bolts out of his bed and runs to his baby girl's bed side.

"Cassandra are you okay?"

The little girl sat in her princess bed her knees pulled up to her chest arms around them holding her self. "Nightmare Daddy that monster came after me again."

Robert got down on his knees and held his daughter close to him for the past five years things had becoming after his child and though he couldn't see through the mist he knew it was bad and tried everything he could to keep them away. It was one of the reason's that in two month's he was going to marry Cassie step mom.

Cassie first day of kindergarten and already Kelly was bombarding her with questions about her summer. Her best friend Bryan had left giving girl time as he said his mother usually had girl time with his aunt Claudia each day after his parents split.

Kelly was a blonde who was Probably Cassie's only girl who was a friend. Kelly was in the popular group which was one of the reason Cassie and her were spending less time together but Kelly still liked Cassie and tried to spend time with her when the girls weren't around because Cassie always shied away when they were.

13 years old

Cassie sat in class behind David while he was turned towards her and was talking about his favorite band. Cassie could care less about his metal music and System of the Down but his velvet voice was so sweet. Cassie ha been in love with David for at least well the beginning of the year which to her was forever. Too bad David wasn't what she thought he was.

14 years old

Cassandra stormed into her room and slammed the door locking so her step mom couldn't get in one more word out of that woman's mouth and the house wouldn't be standing when her dad got home. She couldn't wait till next week they were moving to New York her favorite state she just to go all the time on vacations and just hang in central park with her friend Liv who had been now living there for two years. Another reason she couldn't wait her and her best friend were finally going to spend all their time together again something she had missed. Especially since the only one she spent time with now was her ex-boyfriend David the dushbag would not stop talking to her. Cassandra laid down on her bed and held her locket in her hand she opened it up again and looked at the picture of the woman inside she had curly dark hair and grey eyes. She was probably around twenty in the picture and resembled Cassandra a lot. Cassandra smiled " I miss you mom." Cassandra closed the locket and frowned that all she had of her mom her dad gave it to her saying that now she would always have a part of her with her even if he didn't talk about her. Which her dad did, he barely ever mention Cassandra's mother. Unlike her step mom who love to point out Cassandra wasn't her daughter which Cassandra couldn't be gladder about.

Cassandra sighed closed her eyes and just dreamed about what it would be like if her real parents were both there and still together
