Chapter 2: The crying eighteen year old

So, basically, Percy decided to invite carter and his group to Camp half blood. (Greeks and Egyptians what could go wrong.) So Annabeth hired the help of me a Nico to shadow travel them here. So we did. And Carter was crying. And Sadie kinda looked at Annabeth like you know, that "we need to talk" look. From what I could tell, he'd just lost someone. So I left. I Wasn't interested in new people, and neither was Nico, and so we went to Chiron, asking for permission to leave Camp half blood for a bit, and he said no, so we left anyway. Nico told Will, and the next day we left.
"Bye will."
They hugged for a bit. And he kissed Will.
"Okay lover boy, let's go."
"Shut up."
He punched me in a "friendly" way also a bit angrily. And I ruffled his hair, as his self appointed big sister, I mean, I was a couple months older, kind of I mean he was older then Percy, but you know what. He's sixteen. I was allowed to make fun of him. We saw a movie, got dinner and came back and got told off by Chiron. As punishment, we had to spar with the Ares cabin. NO PROBLEM. This would be fun. Now this I where I say, that I love fighting. This is because my weapon was a bit different. I pulled out a bone. And it slowly it extended into a whip. It's called Koraki, it means raven. But then I put it away, I wanted to show her up. Very simply I cloaked myself and showed that little brat Snowbell how she was gonna die. And she went mad. Scared of everything, from the background I could just hear Nico laughing crazily. And then after a 20 minute talk with Chiron, removed it from her memory. Anyway. Sorry anyway is kinda my thing, I tend to digress a lot. I mean, obviously that wasn't it, oh I just realised I forgot to mention, my arch nemesis is an Aries kid, Snowbell, because that was the most "precious" name her mum could think of. I hate her because when she first arrived she was a bully, and she kept calling Nico "queer" and it was really upsetting to Nico. One day I find Nico beat up so bad he couldn't get up again, after Will healed him, he told me it was Snowbell, and I returned the favour. I mean I beat her up. Yeah I'm cool.

So now, basically, Percy realised the house of life cabin was too small. So he screamed for me. Because Chiron taught my how to make things bigger on the inside. Yes, doctor who, I know. I knelt down, and pressed my hand on the floor. And slowly the walls disintegrated. The ceiling flew up and I tried as hard as I could to replicate what I saw at their fancy little house which the big schmoopy walls when I shadow travelled them here. Obviously I didn't put the statue of their bird god. I leaned into my memory and pulled out a string of black shiny goop, and it worked its way around the walls and it copied up the heiroglyphs, which was weird because it was plain English. I assumed it must have been a weird memory gap. So basically, the reason these dodgy Egyptians had been invited to camp half blood, was the winter ball, planned by me, Will and Austin, the musical genius. Oh yeah, I haven't mentioned I am very close with the Apollo cabin, but most of the time, Nico and Will share a bed in the Hades cabin, and I take the one opposite them. The reason I don't sleep in my own cabin is because I have quite a few powers and they expend my energy, and so at 10:37 every night, I go blind. I regain sight at 6:32 in the morning, and so I need someone near me in case something goes wrong, and I trust Will and Nico with my life.

The night of the ball, everyone came out in suits, dresses and jumpsuits. They all looked stunning. Sadie came out in a stunning fire red knee length dress, with combat boots and red streaks in her hair, and she came out with an oddly familiar guy wearing a suit with a red bow tie, and an unnecessary amount of amulets. Carter came out awkwardly on his own, dressed casual and looking, well there isn't really a nice way to put this. Drunk. I sometimes drink at parties. But I don't think Carter was just having fun. Yes I know I'm sixteen, but who needs fake IDs when you have magic. I made psychic paper from doctor who. That was when I realised I didn't have a date. And on cue I bumped into Will. Obviously he was going with Nico, who refused to wear a suit, and so he wore his usual outfit with a black blazer. Will was wearing a button up white shirt and jeans, and a light grey blazer. As for me, I was wearing my regular clothes.
"LILLY. Where is your outfit. You can't go to the dance wearing that."
"Don't worry, I made my dress!"
"Ok so put it on."
"Ok, ok calm down."
I pulled out a hair pin, that was a red rose, and clipped it into my hair. Suddenly a black jumpsuit materialised around me, and roses seemed to grow around the dresses fabric, and skulls too. My hair did itself into a bun and the rose pin created a rose flower crown around it.
"Happy." I Said with a hint of sarcasm.
"Yes, you look great now." Will said seemingly fed up.
"So. Who are you going with?" He asked me.
Embarrassed, I responded, "Well, I was so caught up in planning, I forgot to ask anyone."
"Well that's funny, Austin did the same thing!"
"No no no, I can go on my own..."
And he screamed
