This is Lana here. Hope you all will enjoy the chapter! :)
Lana's POV
Now you must be wondering. Why would I be out on a cold night with an idiotic excuse for a boy? My answer is 1) I'm on guard duty 2) Unfortunately that Fates paired me with this idiot.
My partner for tonight was supposed to be Alex but he's still dealing with squirrel phobia. So now, my temporary partner is Timothy, the son of Hephaestus. Normally I am usually on good terms with all the campers except Ares and Poseidon (all Athena's children are), but Timothy really ticks me off. That git finds every excuse to show off about his achievements.
Anyways, back to the current situation. Timothy is now blabbing about his latest inventions blah blah blah. At least that's what I thought he said. I heard footsteps heading towards us. Timothy, still oblivious, continued blabbing. "Shut up you moron! You're about to get us killed!" I hissed. Timothy snorted. "Nothing can kill me. I'm invincible," he said.
At that very moment, he fainted. Behind him was my half-brother, Kevin. He was holding a frying pan. "Thank the gods!" he said. "I thought he'd never stop". I rolled my eyes at my favourite brother. "What are you doing out here," I asked. Kevin grinned sheepishly. "Well you see…I was bored," he said lamely.
"Well that explains everything," I said. "Oh, and I also brought Jon," said Kevin. "Jon, you can come out now!" said Kevin. "Zeus's eyebrows! You don't have to shout, I'm standing right next to you," said Jon. "Oh, hehe," said Kevin. "Quiet you fools!" I said. "There are monsters out here".
"Oh come on, Lana," said Jon. "There are no monsters here right now". *cue heavy footsteps* We all turned around to see two Laistrygonians coming towards us. "You've got to be kidding me," I mumbled. "Quickly, hide," I said. We climb a tree nearby and spied on the Laistrygonians.
One of the Laistrygonians sniffed the air and said "I smell half-bloods". The other looked around and made a cackling laugh. "Hey, guess what I found Larry?" he said. "I found a half-blood".
To my horror, in the Laistrygonian's grip was Timothy. Crap, how could I've forget him? I wondered. I was about to shoot an arrow at the Laistrygonian when I heard him say something that I agree on. "Uh gross, the half-blood is too unappealing and smelly to eat," he said. I couldn't have agreed more buddy, I thought.
I shot the arrow and knew that it hit it's target when I heard a scream of pain. "All right, party's over. Time to kick butt," I said as I leapt of the tree. "Ooooh, another half-blood," said one of the Laistrygonians. Larry, I think. My brothers climbed down the tree and took out their knives and we fought them.
Timmyboy here chose the wrong time to wake up from his much needed beauty sleep. "Laistrygonians!" he screamed. By the way, he screams like a girl. Kevin went behind him and knocked him out. "Ok people, there nothing to see here. Nothing happened," said Kevin.
Jon summoned a flock of owls to fight. The owls pecked and poop at the Laistrygonians. "Noooo! Not owl poop" screamed Larry as he turned to gold dust. Turns out, the owls poop was corrosive. Who knew, right?
"Nice birdies," said the other Laistrygonian as he inched away from the owls. "Just where do you think your going?" I said. "Err" was the only reply I got. "Owls," I said. "Attack him!" In a matter of seconds, the owls finished their job and flew away. What's left of the Laistrygonian was a pile of gold dust.
The three of us were unharmed and still alive. We all turned our heads to Timothy. Evil glints in our eyes and mischievous grins were plastered on our faces as we walked towards Timothy.
Let's just say, Timothy would not be coming out of his cabin for weeks. Ever since those pictures were passed around camp, he hid his face. The said pictures show Timothy in a pink colour polka-dot dress with tons of make-up on his face- mascara, lipstick, etc. His hair was also dyed blond as a bonus.
Of course, nobody in camp suspected my brothers and I. Us being children of Athena after all. They all suspected the Stoll brothers from the Hermes cabin. The said brothers were of course happy to the blame for the prank as it was epic.
Alex, who finally came out of his cabin, came to me. "It was you wasn't it?" he asked. My eyes widened. "How did you know?" I asked. He shrugged. "That is for me to know and for you to find out," he said with that stupid grin on his face. "Hmm, I'll find out eventually. Oh, and by the way there's a squirrel behind you," I said as I walked away. "Nice try," said Alex. But sure enough, there was a squirrel behind him. A few minutes later I heard a scream. "Squirrels," I muttered.
