Hi this is Christos0123, I present to you my Chapter 2 of The Ocean and the Moon.
Percy's POV
The next day, I was sitting down a chair waiting for the two to wake up. The boy and the girl were lying down on my extra beds. Now that it was morning, I can see what they look like. The girl has black hair, and she was wearing a red T-shirt, hiking pants, a white rubber shoes, and a golden bracelet in her right wrist. While the boy had black hair, and he was wearing a dark blue T-shirt with white stripes and a pants. The girl moved uncomfortably in her bed and next, her eyes opened. She looked at me and suddenly jumped out of bed. Her eyes were silver.
"Who are you?" She asked. "Where am I? What am I-" Her eyes fixed on the boy and she went to his side, kneeling down.
"What did you do to him?" She asked.
"Relax, calm down. You two passed out yesterday so we brought you here. I promise I will answer all your questions later. And….. uh, I am Percy Jackson, son of Poseidon, the God of the Seas. And yours?" I said.
"Right," she said sarcastically. "I am Kristine Elena Carmen, and this is Adrian Murena, my classmate and friend." She pointed at the boy.
"Okay," I said. "uh, are you sure he's just a friend, I mean he's not your boyfriend or something?"
"What, no!" She said while blushing.
"Okay," I said while smiling. "I'll tell the others that you're awake. Keep an eye out for your special friend." I said while smirking.
Kristine gave me a deathly glare but I ignored it and went outside.
Kristine's POV
After Percy left, I thought of escaping but I can't just leave Adrian. In fact, I do like him. Don't tell anyone or you'll die (Yes, I'm talking to you, the readers). I looked at Adrian, how he slept, he's just so cute. It's no wonder why every girl in our school had a crush on him. And I am one of those so that seems impossible he'll like me. I was putted out of my thoughts when Adrian woke up. He didn't get up but his black eyes were on me and he smiled. He took my hand which was on the bed and I flinched. I was surprised at the moment that I backed my hand away but he tightened his grip.
"Don't leave me, please." He pleaded.
Could he possibly like me, but there's no way he could. There are many girls who are much more beautiful than me. But like they say, there's nothing impossible if you believe.
Then I heard a click of a camera and I saw that it was Percy, and behind him is a blonde girl with gray eyes, a blonde boy with blue eyes, and a girl with chocolate brown choppy hair and kaleidoscope eyes that change from brown to blue to green. Percy pointed at us holding hands and Percy and the blonde boy laughed while the girls giggled. I just blushed cherry red while Adrian gave them a you-will-go-to-Hell death glare. After a minute, they finally stopped laughing and the blonde girl stepped forward.
"This is rude," she said apologetically. "I am Annabeth Chase, daughter of Athena, the Goddess of Wisdom. And this is Jason Grace, Son of Zeus, the God of the Sky." She pointed at the blonde boy. "Piper Mclean, daughter of Aphrodite, the Goddess of Love and Beauty." She pointed at the girl. "And you must know my boyfriend, Percy Jackson."
Percy was busy checking his camera to hear the conversation.
"Why do you act that Greek Gods appear, are you crazy or you just have great imagination?" Adrian asked.
"Percy, do you mind if you explain to them everything while we go to our regular activities?" Annabeth asked.
"What?" Percy looked up from his camera. "Oh, sure. Okay." He said.
Then Annabeth, Jason, and Piper bid us goodbye and left the room while Percy sat down on a chair and started explaining.
Adrian's POV
Percy Jackson was explaining to us that all of the Greek Myths were really real but were just following the Western Civilization.
"Tonight at the Campfire, you might be claimed by your Godly parents since you're already 13 years old." Percy said.
"So," Kristine said. "we are demigods like you are, half God and half man." Percy nodded.
"Come on," Percy motioned for us to follow him. "I'll show you around Camp Half-Blood."
We followed him while he was talking about the place, the cabins, etc. We also met some campers like Mitchell, Lacey, Nico de Angelo, Katie Gardner, Clarisse la Rue, Connor and Travis Stoll, Michael Yew, Chris Rodriguez, Leo Valdez, and many more. We also met Chiron, the activities director at Camp Half-Blood and Mr. D or the Lord Dionysus, the God of wines and grapes who is the co-activities director of Chiron. We also went to the archery field, a sword fighting arena, a climbing wall with lava for training, an amphitheater, stables, armory, and the Big House. After the tour, it was already 7:00 p.m. and we're led into the Dining Pavilion to eat dinner.
TIME LAPSE
After dinner at the Dining Pavilion, we went to the Campfire, where in we sit down on the benches and the Apollo Campers sing songs as the fire magically grows higher and higher.
"Silence please." Chiron ordered. Then it became dead silent.
"We have news from Olympus that the Mist was stolen by Eris, the Goddess of Rivalry. We need heroes to go on this quest. Any volunteers?" Chiron said.
Then a tall, slim girl with red frizzy hair in over-large shirt and jeans came forward. Then her eyes became green and she spew green smoke as she talked and her voice was like three girls talking.
"The Ocean and the Moon shall go on this quest,
Find the Mist that lies on the West.
One shall fail and one shall bail,
But in the end Love will prevail."
Then the girl came back to normal and rubbed her head.
"A prophecy," Chiron said. "the ocean means Poseidon's children while the moon means Artemis' children but she doesn't have children so….." He was interrupted when a green trident appeared over my head while Kristine was glowing silver aura and a quiver and a bow above her head. Then Chiron bowed down and everyone followed his example.
"Hail Adrian Murena, Son of Poseidon, the God of the Seas. Hail Kristine Elena Carmen, Daught—tter of Artemis," Chiron said it as if it was hard to say or it is unbelievable. "the Goddess of the Hunt and the Moon."
Then everyone stood up and started to gossip. "Go to your Cabins, Percy please guide your new half-brother while Kristine, please follow me to the Big House." Chiron said. Then everyone went their separate ways. I looked at Kristine to see if she was in trouble and she gave me a I-can-handle-it-look. I nodded and followed Percy while Kristine followed Chiron.
