Chapter 2: Dream a little Dream
Camp Half-Blood, Cabin Eight
Jamie stared as the moonlight danced across the one and only bead of the camp necklace. The bright orange bead depicted a crescent moon and a spear. He remembered fighting the siren, He also remembered picking up the Spear of Bendis, which now lay next to his bed in the form of a flashlight.
He hadn't really seen his mother since. Sure, he could feel her presence calming him whenever he looked up into the sky and say the moon, but they hadn't talked in person since.
Silently Jamie prayed to his mother that he would be able to see her soon.
He was on the beach with his mother's hunters for some reason. He could tell how long they had been hunters on how they dresses, It was an assortment of bikinis, one-pieces, and all sorts of various other swim wear from decades past.
The Hunters were all laid out, resting in the sun.
"Come on Jamie! You have to learn how to swim sometime."
"Thalia! I am not going in the water with you! What if you electrocute me or something."
"Fine!" she said angrily.
He did want to swim though. Cautiously he placed his feet in the cool salt water.
A woman appeared a little distance away.
"Mom?" he asked.
Artemis smiled. "Hey. How's my little puppy dog." Jamie blushed as red as a lobster.
"Mom..." He got so embarrassed when his mom called him that.
"I'm sorry to interrupted your dream, but I have to tell ... wait a minute." Artemis looked around. "Are those my hunters?" she said slightly furious.
Jamie had to change the topic, quickly. "Mom. Its just a dream about the ocean. You were going to tell me something remember?"
Artemis recomposed herself. "Yes. I here to tell you not to trust my brother. He might try and harm you." She walked into the water and floated. She sighed. "I love the ocean. Bye honey."
Jamie's eyes opened. Thalia was a mere inches away from his face.
"Ahhhh" he yelled. Thalia jumped off the bed. "How many times am I going to wake up with a Hunter in my bed?"
The air suddenly smelt of ozone, the same smell of a lightning storm. Electricity raced along Thalia's arm, her eyes filled with anger.
"Sorry,' Jamie quickly apologized. "I should have phrased that differently."
"Yes," Thalia replied. "You should have."
"Thalia, go easy on him. You're the one that climbed into his bed in the first place." Tess answered, woken up by the noise.
Thalia glared at Tess.
"It's okay." Jamie packed a few of his clothes into a duffle bag. "I know how you girls like some privacy, so I'm heading to the unclaimed cabin. I'm consuler there too."
"Fine." she turned to Tess. "Tess go with him." she ordered.
"Auh, I was just asleep too."
"Well, Lady Artemis did make you his Hunter Guardian. That means you have special responsibilities, such as staying with him at camp, instead of with us all the time. It also means you have more responsibilities as well."
"Okay, Okay." Tess relented, packing her clothes into another duffle bag as well.
Tess hadn't really been much awake until that moment, and finally looked up at Thalia. She immediately started laughing. Soon enough all the other hunters took a nice long look at Thalia and started laughing as well.
"What!" Thalia yelled. 'What's so hilarious!"
Tess pointed to Thalia's hair. It was like she had just walked through a static electricity generator, puffed out in all direction. "Oh, gods!" Thalia cursed running to the bathroom in the back of the cabin, "Not again!"
"We should probably leave." Jamie said quickly to Tess, who nodded.
"Yes, before she gets back and destroys us all."
The two of them quickly made their way to the cabin where all the unclaimed kids stayed.
a/n: hope you enjoyed it. I'm suprised Thalia hasn't had this type of problem before.
