Hi guys, this is the second chapter for my version of the son of Neptune. I will probably update once every day or two until I go off for the holidays in about less than a month. Then again, constructive comments are always welcome, and pardon any errors that might occur.
Chapter 2: Why do girls always want to hit me?
I lay down in my bed in cabin three and slowly drifted off to sleep. Before I could have any of the peculiar dreams that always seem to come to me every time I sleep, especially at camp half-blood, I woke up as my cabin lit up with a suddenly flash. Within moments, I pulled riptide out and spun around to face the source of that flash of light, it was Hera.
"Hera, what do you want with me?" I asked
"Is that any way to address the queen of Olympus?" She said
"What are you doing here I insisted?" gods do not usually just pop out of nowhere just to visit you, and when they visit you it is never to just have a talk with you but rather, whenever this happens, it means that they have a task for you.
"What do you want me to do for you?" I grumbled, but somehow I still did not understand why Hera, who disliked Heroes, no hated Heroes would look for me.
"I will explain all in good time, but now we must go" She said in such an authoritative voice that I did not dare argue. I did not want to step on the waste left behind by cows with no sense of hygiene as a form of punishment of defiance to Hera.
Before I could think of anything else, there was a blinding flash of light and I was knocked unconscious.
"What in the name of Pluto is he doing there!" said a voice I did not know.
As I heard that voice, I started to wake.
"Intruders are not allowed" said another, we must dispose of him.
"Wait!" cried out another voice
"Let Jason decide, after all he is praetor not you" said the same person.
By now, I was fully awake and looking around, taking in my surroundings. As I tried to think, I did not think of anything. I didn't even know my own name. I shook my head trying to remember things that I was sure were there before. But my head never felt so empty before, I was very sure that it had never been this empty except for maybe the day I was born.
"Lets me go get Jason" said the same voice
I looked up and saw that the speaker was a girl. I guessed she was about 15 or 16; she had long hair, tied back in a long pony tail. She was wearing a purple shirt, no wait everyone standing around me were wearing purple shirts. Then I suddenly realized something. Everyone around me was carrying weapons, the girl who was now turning away to probably go fetch the guy called Jason had two swords hanging by her sides and a bow slung across her back. The swords were pretty short compared to what I saw other people around her holding.
One of them was holding a spear, a shield slung behind his back, a few of them were just holding swords and wearing helmets, not those helmets you see bikers wearing but metal helmets that looked like they came from video games of ancient warriors. If I thought that was disturbing, I became even more disturbed when I saw that all their weapons were made out of gold, Gold.
Before I could think about anything else, a cry broke through the silence that surrounded me.
"Jason, his gone!" cried the same voice from far away.
Suddenly, everyone looked at me with a mean look in their eyes like I somehow had something to do with Jason's disappearance. Then suddenly the girl came running back, her eyes were filled with anger and both her swords were drawn. The crowd made way for her; I mean who would want to stand in front of a mad girl holding two swords and who looked ready to kill you. Before she could strike me, another voice rang out.
"Wait!" everyone spun around and faced the person who spoke with a surprised expression on their faces, like this was the last thing they expected from that person.
"Shouldn't he be given the chance to explain or at the very least a weapon with so he can defend himself? There is no honor in killing an unarmed person is there Reyna?" she said.
"Also, if this mysterious stranger has somehow something to do with Jason's sudden disappearance, wouldn't it be prudent to question him?" she continued.
"Your words do make sense Emma" Reyna said, and with that she told two of the bystanders to put me in the punishment block and stand guard over there until she consulted someone named Lupa.
With that, she stalked off, probably to find the one known as Lupa.
Well that's all for chapter 2 folks, I will most likely be making chapter 3 and 4 very soon. Make sure to leave any comments you feel may help me with my writing. Thanks for reading have a great day.
