Chapter two

(Eli's POV)

After meeting Chiron, he gave me a copy of the camp schedule then Percy and I headed to our cabin, Cabin 3, Poseidon's cabin.

I placed all my stuff where they should be and sighed. I sat on my bed and took out my notebook from my backpack. Honestly, this notebook is my diary and songbook. I mean song writing book. Despite being dyslexic, I usually write in Greek so I can read properly.

Dear diary,

Today, I met a cute guy from the Apollo cabin. He has blonde hair and blue eyes. Sure, his hair was messy, but at least he was cute. His name is Austin Moore, and I think he's around 15 or 16 maybe.

"So, Eli, since it's a Saturday, you can roam the camp if you want." Percy said as he walked towards the door. "Where are you going?" I asked, raising an eyebrow at him. "Annabeth." He said, smiling, then left.

Why do I have a Kelp head for a brother?

Never mind answering that, but I think someone's at my cabin door. "Hey." I heard a female voice greet me, surprising me.

I looked at the door and saw a girl, wearing the camp t-shirt, jean shorts and sandals. She has green hair, probably dyed, and chestnut brown eyes. In other words, she looks like a beautiful rock star.

"K.C Jones, 17, daughter of Hecate." She introduced herself with her hand already extended for me to shake, which I did.

"Eleanor Jackson, 14, daughter of Poseidon." I smiled warmly as we shook hands.

She raised an eyebrow at me with a playful smirk on her face. "Apparently you're new here."

My eyes widened for a bit before looking away, with my face red like a tomato. "Uh, yeah... How long have you been here?" I asked her, twirling my hair a bit. "Oh, 3 years. Year-rounder." She simply said, looking around the cabin. "Year-rounder?" I asked again, completely dumbfounded.

"Yeah. Year-rounder. Most campers are year-rounders instead of going here for the Summer. Like your brother and his girlfriend, for example. They only come here every single Summer."

"Oh..."

"By the way, Austin Moore from Apollo is coming here. He's gonna give you the tour around camp." She scoffed.

I don't know which was worse, Austin Moore is going to give me the tour or my new friend saying that sounds like she's jealous. "Eli?" I heard another voice come from the door. I looked at it and saw Austin, in his Camp t-shirt, navy blue varsity jacket, dark jeans and converse. "Oh, hey, Katherine."

"Whatever. Just give Jackson the tour." She rolled her eyes before leaving.

Austin stood aside, making way for K.C. "So, how about that tour?"


(Austin's POV)

"So how about that tour?" I asked, smiling widely at Eli. "Oh sure. Just let me fix my things. I don't want to lose anything when I get back." She nervously said, and she was kinda twitching.

I raised an eyebrow at her. "Are you okay?"

"Yes!" She practically shouted, her face flushed.

~A few minutes later~

"And lastly, the Armory. You can pick your weapon now, if you want." And then she started to look at almost every weapon. I don't know why but I can't stop looking at her.

Her eyes were set at the old knife on the golden table. It was silver and it looked like it weighs more than any normal knife. "What's this?" She asked, lifting the blade like it's no big deal. "That's Aeolos. It was named after the God of winds."

"Why?"

"Because, the former owner of that knife was big and strong. He was feared by everyone in Greece. He was like a God. Many feared and worshiped him because of his cruelty," I sighed, "the knife was made by Lord Hephaestus himself. He built it with stygian iron and the most sharpest blade he can find in Greece. It was unknown how the giant found the knife, but it was said that he found it in the cave where Zeus was hidden."

"Wow." She smiled. "I wonder if I could keep this..."

I returned the smile. "Yes, of course. Aeolos is yours." I patted my right pocket and remembered I was supposed t give her the necklace. "Oh, Eli. I almost forgot." I said, removing the necklace from my pocket and showing it to her. "I found this when I was at the lake. I had Leo made this into a necklace for you."

"Oh Austin, you didn't have to do that." Her eyes were sparkling like the sapphire on her new necklace. "Come on, let's try it." She lifted her hair as I placed it in front and clipped it on the back of her neck.

She fixed her ponytail then looked at me. "This is really beautiful, Austin. Thank you." She whispered and then she gave me a hug, making me red all of a sudden. "Y-your welcome."

She's just your friend, Austin. Nothing more. But then why am I feeling weak every time she touches me?

I'm not in love with her, right?
