Sighing I walk cautiously out of the bathroom in only my towel... Of course being my distracted stupid self I forgot to take my clothes with me. Speed walking I'm almost at the cabin when I get that weird tingly feeling you get when you know someone is watching you, whipping around I scan the dark, mysterious forest outlining our cabin when I see a pair of haunting onyx eyes. Suddenly feeling self-cautious I fling open the door and race inside were I see yet another pair of eyes, except this time they exactly match mine
'Lemme guess, you forgot your clothes?' Clarisse smirked as she held up the small pile of clothes I had planned to take to the shower with me
'Thank you thank you, your the best sister ever!' okay maybe I'm over exaggerating
'Hmm, I'm your only sister stupid' yep theres my sailor mouthed sister we all know and love
'Well then... You should really learn to take a compliment dumbass' hey never said I was any better
'Ugh I'm going to bed' 'Same here'
Climbing into our now queen sized bed we cuddle and drift into a hopefully no nightmare oblivion.
Groaning I violently grab the blaring alarm clock and throw it against the the wall opposite our bed, bolting upright when I hear it smash
'Oh shit' is the only mumble that comes out of my mouth this time
'Haha your buying the new alam clock for this week' Clarisse laughs, emerging into the the room as I start to walk out 'ummm sis I get that you just woke up but you might want to realise the fact that your still in your p-jamies and its 4:00am in the morning 'ehh to early and you in your Jamies to' i point out accusingly then I get up and giggle as I skip out the door as she trails along beside me as we skip in sync.
We start getting these really weird looks as we pass the big house and unable to keep ourselves together I yank Clarisse around a corner and we burst out laughing and stumbling over each other until we manage to compose ourselves slightly
Clarisse manages to giggle out lightly 'We have company' indicating with her head to somewhere of to the right until I finally see some guy staring at us with a weird look on his face that I don't really understand, getting a better look at his face I see that his is actually kinda cute with raven black hair, beautiful onyx ey- Wait WHAt! This is the guy from last night, the one that was staring at me in a towel! And since when do I think guys are cute...
Snapping out of my thoughts, I glare at the guy and he smirks! Frustrated I turn towards Clarisse
'Hey, wanna go to the archery section?' I ask in a pleading tone with the pouty face and
puppy-dog eyes 'Yea, let's go!'
She replies obviously excited to use our matching bows that we received on a quest with Artemis, I have the earth bow named γαίες ζωή meaning earths life- it's brown wood with green swirls, some coloured flowers and carving designs were as Clarisses bow is the water bow named νερά κύματα meaning waters waves- it's white wood with dark blue waves, slight swirls in the water and the same carving designs- the other two bows on the set- the Air bow named αέρηδες άνεμοι meaning airs winds and the Fire bow named πυρκαγιές φλόγες meaning fires flames, belong to two of the only people in the world who know who we are as they did the Artemis quest with us and they are also our best friends, Bianca and Allison
Bianca has the fire bow and Allison has the air bow. Being pulled from my thoughts as Clarisse drags me away from the dark guy and to archery centre
'Yes!' I fist pump the air and press my right wrist were I have a permanent tattoo of γαίες ζωή, and my beautiful bow appears in my hand and Clarisse does the same and νερά κύματα appears
Smirking at each other we skip up to the only two stations left and on my right I see a red head guy staring shamelessly at my ass and I glare in disgust, I mean does he have any respect for girls what so ever?! Counting to ten I press my right shoulder blade and my matching quiver and arrows appears slung over my shoulder. Drawing an elegant silver tipped green-brown swirled arrow I tilt my left hand with my bow to the left slightly and I string my arrow, hook my left fingers over the string, bring up my bow, draw my left arm back, aim, close my eyes, and release. Breathing out I slowly open my eyes only to find my graceful arrow in the direct centre of the target, which happens to be approximately a kilometre away... Huh, guess I was better that I thought, drawing another arrow I repeat the process except this time I imagine red heads face on the target and I close my eyes and release, taking another breath I peek through my dark lashes and I can't help the gasp that emits from my mouth as I stare at the target in disbelief, there right before my eyes is an arrow split straight through the middle of my first shot and my amazement is broken when re head decides that now is the right time to open his cocky little mouth
'What the-' he stutters out, his voice filled with disbelief, confusion, anger, and awe
'Hell yea! That's my girl!' Clarisse hollers with a giant grin as she claps me on the back
Chuckling at her antics I smirk suddenly feeling proud of myself at the fact that I'm probably as good a shot as the Apollo kids, seeing as I was trained by the one and only Artemis...
Beckoning with my hand the arrows appear back in my quiver completely new and un-broken
Happily I continue like this in peace for what must be at the least two hours of non stop graceful shooting that just makes me just forget everything going on around me... Until some idiot with a death wish interrupts me just as I draw the string back
'What!?' I growl whirling towards the person who just so happens to be- Oh great! It's cute guy with startling black eyes, not that I was staring into them of course...
'We'll, um you sister I think left about an hour ago to get ready for breakfast in fifteen minutes and I thought you might want to know' he he stutters out looking down at his black shoes
'Well um thanks, I should go get ready then...' I awkwardly answer
'Um okay, I'm Nico by the way' he-Nico informs me
'Thanks bye' I smirk over my shoulder at him as I stride towards my cabin
Meeting up with Clarisse I see that we are both wearing our Camp Half-Blood tshirts and black hoodies
'Sooooo, what's up with you and that emo kid, saw you talking at archery before' Clarisse questions casually
'Eww, nothing! Like I always say - boys are like trees, they take fifty years to grow up!' I replied hoping that I sound as casual as her, then realising that I failed miserably
'Okayyyy, if that's what you say, I totally believe you!' She says as sarcastically as she can
Laughing I play punch her and she starts giggling hysterically while I stare at her in horror
'I cannot believe I'm related to you' i mumble playfully under my breath until she replies confidently
'Heard that! And what would you do without me, I'm practically amazing, perfect you name it'
'Stupid, know-it-all, bos-' I laugh as she cuts me off and we enter the food hall and I wonder what my life would really be like if Clarisse wasn't here...
Hope you like! Please follow, favourite and review!
