Chapter 3: E is for Ecstatic…

I laid in bed for a few more minutes before I got up and decided to explore on my own. But first I changed into my Camp Half Blood tee-shirt just so that I wouldn't stand out. I stepped out of the cabin and no one really noticed me. I'm glad that they chose to build the Hades cabin at a distance from the other cabins. I slinked through the shadows that were near the trees. No one seemed to notice me, which was great because I didn't feel like talking to anyone. Come to think of it, I was still feeling mopey.

I saw kids running around having fun. This was like any other camp, or so I'd imagine, with kids having fun. I sighed wishing I could be so carefree at the moment. I couldn't place the feeling I had. Something was going to happen but I didn't know what.

I saw a girl with straight black hair. She was all dolled up, so I figured she had to be a daughter of Aphrodite. Ares' children weren't so difficult to spot either. Most of Ares' kids were buff and mean. Most of Athena's kids had books with them. Well to be frank, every group of demigod children had their quirks that they shared with their brothers and sisters. I on the other hand didn't really know much about my new brother, Nico.

I watched a few people pass by just before I decided to lean against a tree. "Ehem." A voice said behind me. I jumped and landed face first on the grass. The voice giggled as I tried to get up. I frowned in annoyance.

"That's not funny." I said dusting myself off. I looked back and saw no one behind me; just a bunch of trees. I sighed, "I'm going insane."

"No you're not." The voice spoke.

"Right, because I'm not talking to myself." I said, dripping as much sarcasm as possible.

"No, you're talking to me."

"Uh hu and you are?"

"Carly."

I turned around looking for this Carly person and still saw no one. "Well if you're real, why can't I see you?"

She giggled again, "My my, you're blinded by the mist."

"What mist?" I glared at the tree in front of me.

"No need to get upset." Carly said, "You just need to clear your mind and then you'll see me."

"I'm too tired to clear my mind." I sat on the floor and watched the other kids pass by. I didn't hear Carly anymore. I think I tuned her out. I mean I was never a people person.

Suddenly someone walked up to me. I looked up and saw a young girl with…green skin. Well that was a new one for me. She looked about ten years of age but I couldn't be sure; I was always terrible a determining age. The girl smiled at me and waved her hand in my face. I leaned back, "What's your deal?"

"You see me!" she exclaimed as she jumped up and down. Goodness she was overly excited….ecstatic. Bleh I hated that.

I frowned at her, "So you're Carly?"

"Yes I am." She grinned.

I sighed, "Well I can see you know."

She sat next to me, "So why are you out here all alone?" I looked at her and then I poked her arm just to make sure I wasn't hallucinating. She did have green skin, so it's possible that she could be in my imagination. She just giggled and said, "Making sure I'm real?"

I frowned at her, "Yes."

"I'm real." She smiled at me…well more like gave me a cheeky smile, "I'm a wood nymph."

"Okay, Carly the wood nymph. What are you doing out here alone?"

"I was taking a nap." She smiled at me. "Now it's your turn."

I sighed, "I was looking around and decided to stand here and watch people pass by." I looked at her, "I wanted to explore."

"Ah." She looked at the kids that were passing by.

I looked at her, "Are you going to stay here?"

"Sure, why not?" She looked back at me. I looked away. It's not like I didn't want her there I just didn't know how to react considering how my past friendships ended. "What's wrong?" She asked me.

"Noting just thinking."

"About what?"

I was about to answer when some little boy ran up to Carly. "There's a fight out by the Ares cabin."

"Who?"

"James and Malcolm." The little boy said.

Carly frowned, "Oh no, not again." She looked at me and stood up. "It was nice meeting you but…"

"I know. You should go." I motioned her to go and she ran after the brown haired boy. I sat there under the trees looking out to the group of kids that had started to gather.

This place really was like a camp. It was so peaceful compared to the world outside, well except for the fight between those two boys. I got up as soon as I saw Nico trying to break up the fight. I wanted more time to myself before dinner. I walked to the beach and sat on the sand where there was no sign of people.

I drew circles in the sand for quite some time until some guy came up to me. I looked up at him and gave him a weak smile then I went back to drawing circles in the sand.

"Wow you really are icy." he said "I met and Ice Princess once. She tried to freeze me and my friends into a block of ice."

I looked back up at him, "What are you talking about?"

"Oh, right." He grinned at me, "The name is Leo."

"Uh…that doesn't answer my question."

"It doesn't? Hu, I thought it did." He winked at me.

"Um…right." I went back to doodling. Leo didn't leave. He stared at me and it was getting on my nerves. "Could you stop staring?" I looked up at him.

Well when I looked up at him he was a mere inch from my face. He grinned, "Is that a car?"

I blinked, "What?"

He pulled back and pointed at my circles and squares in the sand. "There. Is that a car?"

"That's a square."

"No no not that. That" He pointed to another spot I had been absently doodling with my finger.

I looked at it, "Um, yeah." I tilted my head; I hadn't realized that I had drawn a car.

He leaned in again, "Epic." He stared at my cruddy drawing of a car. I was starting to get weirded out by the people here. They were too friendly and lacked the concept of personal space. So I got up and walked off.

"Hey!" Leo screamed as her ran after me. "Where you going?"

I didn't answer him and kept walking. He ran past me and blocked my path, "What do you want?" I asked.

"Just to talk." He looked at me, "You're much more difficult to impress than the ice princess."

I blinked, "Impress me? Why?"

He titled his head, "Cause… you're pretty?"

I blushed slightly and walked past him. He grabbed my hand and I quickly turned to pull my hand away. When I turned we were face to face and only inches apart. He seemed fine. He wasn't pale nor did he look like he was about to pass out. He tilted his head. "What did I say?"

"Nothing, could you let go of my hand?"

"Oh…yeah…right…sure." He didn't let go.

"Um…Leo right? You haven't let my hand go."

He flushed and quickly let go. I couldn't help but smile, I made him flush. I turned and walked back towards the cabins. Leo…he confused me a bit. He lacks personal space, and rambles a bit but the strangest thing was…he didn't get hurt like all the others who tried to touch me. I wasn't sure what that meant and wasn't sure if I wanted to know.

I was walking, just thinking when I nearly bumped into Nico. "Hey there you are. I was looking for you." He said.

"Ah yes, I took a walk by the beach."

He smiled at me. "Nice down there hu?"

"Yeah, it is."

He looked at him and said, "Something bothering you?"

"No just hungry." I lied.

"Well it's almost dinner. How bout we go find Leo then head down to eat?"

"Oh I saw Leo at the beach."

"You did?"

"Yeah, he's probably still frozen there. I think you should check up on him. He…grabbed my hand. I think something might be wrong."

Nico frowned and headed to the beach. I was about to leave but he told me to follow, so I had no choice but to follow my big brother…that's still a bit strange to say.

When I caught up with Nico, he was shaking Leo. I took a step back and Leo looked at me. "Man, you're scaring her Nico." Nico let go f Leo and looked at me apologetically. "Eh it's alright." Leo said as he put a hand on Nico's shoulder.

I had no idea what had just happened. I was starting to get the feeling that there was something more that I wasn't told. Nico moved Leo's hand from his shoulder, "You know I don't like it when people touch me."

Leo laughed, "You two ARE related."

I looked at Nico, "Is he always this strange?" I asked.

"No." Nico said. "He's worse."

"Oh, that's not cool." Leo frowned.

"He makes jokes." Nico continued.

I made a face. "Oh…" I looked at Leo and blinked. He was kind of cute, with his curly hair…

I heard the sound of a conch in the distance. "Dinner time!" Leo exclaimed. I suppose the conch was the sound of dinner?

"C'mon Electra. Let's go eat." Nico said and headed towards the dinning pavilion. I followed him and Leo followed me. I frowned a bit. Leo was too close for comfort.

Oh alright he wasn't that close but it still bothered me that he was that close. Not even Nico was that close to me. I'd have to learn more about Leo.

After dinner…

I Hope you all liked this chapter. Reviews make me happy, so please review ^-^
