Hi, again! Yeah, I'm back J I want to give a special thanks to the person who followed and favorite this story 1 day after I posted it! Thank you so much! Have a cookie (::)
Disclaimer: You know what? I think I'm just gonna throw in random stuff in here from now on. I GOT A+ IN CZECH! :-D
I heard the melody of an instrument, a harp maybe. I opened my eyes and shut them right after. Damn. Who knew the Hermes cabin could be so bright? Oh… wait, Hermes cabin, dinner, singing, light… Ugh… I groaned as I remembered last night
Flashback (weeeee! Time travel!)
"Well dinner isn't gonna come to us, so let's come to dinner!" Connor winked at me and the whole cabin walked out to what looked like a mess hall, while tripping and stumbling. I was at the end of the group and had to crane my neck in order to see the other tables. The Hermes table was, by far, the fullest. Wow, Hermes must like messing around a lot. I thought.
I sat down next to Connor. Note to self, never sit next to a Stoll unless you want to be soaked in Coke. Connor was having a mini food fight with his brother and Travis was quite obviously in the lead, considering he had already dumped mashed potatoes on my shirt three times. I was mildly surprised when I saw kids talking to their cups.
"Ask the cup what you want to drink." Travis told me. I nodded, Why not? After all, I just learned that I've got superpowers, so this should be nothing.
After I had stuffed my face with ravioli and iced tea, Chiron stood up and made an announcement:
"Heroes, I give you five minutes to get to camp fire. Be there!" Everybody walked in one direction, but I raced towards the Hermes cabin and took a random shirt off my bed. I had bought a few in case I needed fresh clothes. I was just changing, when I heard a knock.
"Uhhh… Sorry…" a black haired boy stammered and blushed as he saw me. And I realized I was in my bra. Crap. "I'm looking for Connor, he owes me ten drachmas."
"Oh, uh, yeah, sorry. Connor isn't here right now." I slipped my shirt on and walked out the door.
"So," he asked me. "What's your name?"
"Katerina or Kat if you want." I replied. "You?"
"I'm Andy, son of Nyx, goddess of night. Also the guy you kinda almost blinded."
"Oh." I winced. "Yeah, I heard. Sorry about that."
"S'okay, no harm done. But, seriously, you have cool powers." He said, smiling.
"Well, someone told me you could control darkness."
"A bit." He bragged. "But, nothing like what you did. I'm pretty sure you burned my eyebrows rightoff my face!" I laughed.
We made it to some sort of theatre, where a bonfire had been lit.
"Campers, " a tall blonde guy said. "We have decided to let not only the Apollo cabin tonight, but also whoever volunteers!" the crowd cheered as I took a seat next to Andy.
The music started and tons of people started dancing and singing. When the music ended, the tall guy said:
"Any volunteers?" hesitantly, I raised my hand. "Wonderful! Please come up on stage!" he asked smiling. I walked the small stairs that led to the stage, tapping my leg nervously.
"Hi, everyone. My name is Kat and I'm going to sing "Let it go" by Idina Menzel." I said confidently, I could not chicken out.
The snow glows white on the mountain tonight
Not a footprint to be seen
A kingdom of isolation,
And it looks like I'm the Queen.
The wind is howling like this swirling storm inside
Couldn't keep it in, heaven knows I tried
Don't let them in, don't let them see
Be the good girl you always have to be
Conceal, don't feel, don't let them know
Well, now they know
Let it go, let it go
Can't hold it back anymore
Let it go, let it go
Turn away and slam the door
I don't care
What they're going to say
Let the storm rage on,
The cold never bothered me anyway
It's funny how some distance
Makes everything seem small
And the fears that once controlled me
Can't get to me at all
It's time to see what I can do
To test the limits and break through
No right, no wrong, no rules for me
I'm free
Let it go, let it go
I am one with the wind and sky
Let it go, let it go
You'll never see me cry
Here I stand
And here I'll stay
Let the storm rage on
My power flurries through the air into the ground
My soul is spiraling in frozen fractals all around
And one thought crystallizes like an icy blast
I'm never going back,
The past is in the past
Let it go, let it go
And I'll rise like the break of dawn
Let it go, let it go
That perfect girl is gone
Here I stand
In the light of day
Let the storm rage on,
The cold never bothered me anyway
I ended the song and opened my eyes. They were all staring at me with their mouth dangling open, their eyes staring at the top of my head. What? Is my hair that horrible? I glanced upwards and freaked out when I saw a huge, glowing lyre hovering above my head. The image fades and the tall, blonde guy hugs me.
"Well, hey, Sis."
