Chapter 3- Hazel
I couldn't believe what I had just seen. Had the boy really defeated the chimera or were my eyes playing tricks on me? I shook my head. Too bad Reyna and the others hadn't seen that. They would've been amazed. I examined the boy carefully. He had black, messy hair but there was a streak of grey in it. How he had gotten it, I had no idea. He had an average build, not too muscular like the Mars Cabin but more of an athletic one. He was wearing an orange worn-out shirt with some words written on it, the words on it were faded but I could just make out the word Camp, a pair of equally worn-out jeans and sneakers. I looked for the sword he had used to defeat the chimera but it was gone, disappeared. Where had he gotten his sword anyway? Couldn't have been new. A new sword user wouldn't have been able to hold a sword in such a expertly manner. A small laugh escaped me. I sounded just like a daughter of Minerva. I heard a voice behind me.
'What's so funny?'
I almost jumped in surprise.
'Whoa, calm down. It's just me,' said Reyna emerging from the shadows, followed by Gwen and Bobby. Gwen's eyes widened at the sight of the boy.
I turned my attention back towards him.
'Who is he?' asked Reyna kneeling down beside me.
I shrugged my shoulders. I was asking myself the same thing.
I heard myself asking Reyna, 'Maybe we should bring him to the infirmary? He must be probably exhausted after-'
I bit my tongue and Reyna's eyes narrowed.
'After what?'
I shook my head, 'It's nothing.'
Reyna stared at me, still suspicious, but agreed to my idea.
She turned to where Hazel and Bobby were still standing. Hazel's eyes could not get off the boy while Bobby looked like he couldn't care less.
'What are you waiting for,' she barked, 'get over here and help us carry him.'
And so, that is how we, me, Hazel, Reyna, Gwen and Bobby, ended up carrying an unconscious boy to the infirmary.
