…

Two weeks after Ellie got claimed.

(Stanley's POV)

I woke up with the sun hitting my face.

That's odd. I thought to myself. I tried to go back to sleep but was rudely awakened by giggling.

Wait-giggling?

My eyes sprung open and what I saw almost made me scream like a little girl, except I didn't because I'm manly.

I was in a bed on top of a roof. The things that happened the previous day came flooding back to me. I was at Camp Half-Blood, my dad was a Greek god, and I got claimed by Hephaestus.

But that didn't explain why I was on the roof.

"Welcome to the Hephaestus cabin newbie!" was yelled from below. That explained why I was on the roof.

By the time I got off the roof breakfast was over and we were on our second activity of the day. I sighed in frustration and started walking to the archery field. I was walking through the camp in search for said field when I found myself in the cabin area. Again.

I guessed it was a different part of the cabins because I was seeing a lot of newer ones. I stopped in front of a pitch black one that had skeletons looking out the window. It was truly creepy.

"You gonna move or gawk at our cabin all day?" someone said beside me. I looked over to see a boy around my age or older. I'm 13 and ¾.

"S-sorry." I stuttered. The boy himself was intimidating but it didn't help that there were two carbon copy girls behind him.

"Hades." The boy informed me.

"Oh. I'm new. My dad's Hephaestus. I'm Stanley." I introduced myself to the three kids.

"Nico." The boy said. He seemed to be the oldest.

"Luna." The next oldest said.

The youngest one didn't say anything. She didn't even look at me. She just wiggled her lip ring back and forth waiting for me to leave.

"Don't mind Ellie. She's just a bit bitter today." Nico said.

"Why?" I know, I know. Curiosity killed the cat.

"You got here yesterday, right?" the girl spoke up.

"Yes." I answered.

"And you got claimed yesterday, right?" she asked.

"Yes." I wondered what she was getting at.

"I had to wait four years to get claimed. I wouldn't have minded so much if it wasn't the day before my birthday. Hades waited to the last second to claim me and that shows he never wanted to claim me in the first place." She pointed at her siblings, "He wanted them. I'm probably just some drunken mistake. Now get out of my way. I have a whole lot of nothing to do." She pushed past me and into her cabin.

"Well aren't you a ray of sunshine!" Nico yelled at her and in response she flipped him off.

Nico turned to Luna, "Have you been talking to her again? I think you emo-ness is rubbing off on her."

"Go think about Bianca and slit your wrists." Luna replied and walked into the cabin to talk to her younger sibling.

Nico turned to me, his eyes hard, "And that was my lovely family."

"At least yours didn't move your bed to the roof." I muttered but Nico heard me.

"You're alright, kid." Nico told me. He started walking away but then motioned for me to join him.

"Hephaestus, eh?" Nico said.

"Yeah." I answered still thinking about Ellie.

"Don't think about her to hard or your brain might explode." Nico jokingly warned.

"Think about who?" I said a little nervous. I didn't want a broken nose from an over protective brother.

"Ellie. Duh. I saw the way you studied her." Nico said not sounding the least bit angry.

"Please don't hit me!" I said and fell to my knees. I opened one eye to see Nico laughing at me.

"What?"

"I'm not going to hit you." I got up off the ground when he said that and then motioned for him to continue, "If you hurt Ellie I'll be the least of your problems." He lowered his voice to a whisper, "There's a reason why Ellie was claimed at the last minute and I hear that she has two younger brothers who will hurt anyone that Ellie doesn't like."

I shivered at his tone, "Well now I'm afraid to be with in 20 feet of her."

Nico suddenly twisted my arm behind my back, "But if you do hurt Ellie you will deal with me." And with that he was gone.

IM A FRIGGIN TIME LAPSE! THE NAME IS PABLO! I LIKE HAM!

Later that night I saw Ellie talking to an Apollo camper but only got bits of the conversation.

"I don't know, Ells, I don't think it's safe to bring them out of hiding yet." The Apollo girl said.

"How much longer!" Ellie said a bit too loud and a few people looked in their direction, "They're going to think I've abandoned them! It's been three years without contact!"

"I'm sure they're fine." The girl stretched out fine.

"Jessica you don't understand!" Ellie said.

"Sure I don't but unless you want your little secret around camp you'll continue to love me!" the girl said perkily.

"I hate you." Ellie grumbled kicking a stone.

"Too bad! You're stuck with me!" I tuned out the rest of the conversation.

"Stanley!" I turned around to see Chiron galloping towards me.

"Yeah?" I said with a raised eyebrow.

"I realized that you never got an official tour of the camp yesterday." He said and then looked around, "I'm sorry about that. I had to take care of some hazards." He sent a pointed look towards Ellie.

"Elsa!" he called out. Ellie turned around with a hard look on her face probably ready to give someone a bloody nose for interrupting her. "This is part of your punishment. You must show Stanley around the camp." Ellie walked forward still not saying a word.

After Chiron galloped a few feet away Ellie grabbed a rock and threw it at him.

"Let's go." She walked ahead of me and pointed things out to me. I took the time to study her.

She had long dark brown hair that flowed with the wind, big brown eyes, rosy cheeks, red full lips, and naturally pale skin. I found myself staring at her lips more than anything.

"Did you listen to a word I said?" she asked at the end of the tour.

"…no."

"Come on." She grabbed my hand and pulled me around camp. Anytime I would tune it out she would smack my head. Let's just say I got smacked a lot.

"Look a new camper!" I heard a girl squeal. I turned my head to see very overly dressed girls coming towards me.

"Hello I'm Lindsey!" one said overly loud. "Do you, like, want to, like, come hang with, like, us?"

I looked over at Ellie. Lindsey followed my gaze and snorted, "You are not seriously hanging out to that loser, are you?" she said it like it was the last thing she would ever do.

I casually stretched holding my hand up that was still in Ellie's for her to see and then replied, "No, no I am not." Ellie looked a little hurt but then I continued, "Why would I ever hang out with YOU."

I don't know who was more surprised Ellie or the clown.

"Well," Ellie started slowly, "She could bribe you to hang out with her."

I started laughing but then it got louder and louder until I was rolling on the ground clutching my sides. Ellie soon joined in.

"Ugh! You are like, so, like, rude!" Lindsey stated stomping her foot.

"And you have an IQ less than my converse. Now are we done stating the obvious?" Ellie replied.

Lindsey and her little clan of idiots left so I walked Ellie to her cabin.

"We should do this again." Ellie said with a grin.

"Yeah, that'd be fun." I agreed. I was about to turn to leave when Ellie grabbed my arm. She stood on her tippy-toes and kissed me on the cheek.

"Later Stanley." She said and walked into her cabin.

Me? Well I just stood there like an idiot.

So how did you like chapter two? I was listening to Taylor Swift for inspiration. If any of my friends knew that they'd probably ridicule me for the rest of my life. I'm kind of hardcore rock and punk fan so yeah.

Review or I will have Ellie shadow travel to your room and watch you sleep!

Until next time,
