Daughter of Poseidon
Chapter 2: I'm A Star In The Bathroom!
-Daughter of Poseidon-
Nico grabs the book when a blinding light yet again fills the room. Two people land on Nico and Nico crashes to the floor. The gods and demi-gods explode with laughter.
"Not funny," Nico mutters.
The two people stand up. "Sorry Nico," A girl with jet black hair, green eyes, and tan skin says.
"It's okay, baby," Nico says and winks. The boy with blonde hair and blue eyes clears his throat, jealous.
"Morgan?" Percy asks.
"Hullo!" Morgan waves. "Nice place you have here, Uncle Zeus!"
Zeus nods his head, speechless.
"So, who's ready to read my book?" Morgan grins.
"Are you sure you're not Aphrodite's child?" Ares questions Morgan.
"I'm totally sure."
"Prove it."
Morgan's eyes appear to have an evil glint in them. Morgan summons a huge wave and a whirlpool. The whirlpool swallows Ares and the wave seals the whirlpool and Ares is trapped in the whirlpool like an inescapable prison. A few seconds later, Morgan releases Ares.
"That enough proof?"
Ares nods, shivering.
"Morgan, please go out with me!" Nico pleads.
"NO!" Everyone, including Morgan and Levi, yell at him.
"Nico, just please start to read!" Annabeth says.
"Fine! But only for Morgan!"
Levi starts to ball up his fists but Morgan holds him back.
The next time I woke up, I was in the back of a van that smelled like my favorite thing: the Sea.
"Aww!"
Why do you think I'm named Morgan, meaning 'by the Sea'? I sat up and looked around. A boy that I saw earlier was driving with a girl with curly blonde hair in the passenger seat. I felt around and I saw my sword in the seat next to me. I quietly grabbed it and crawled to the front and jumped at the right second before both of them jumped.
"Are you positive I can't marry her?"
"THAT'S IT!" Levi yells and rams into Nico. The gods and demi-gods watch the fight for a few minutes before pulling Levi off of Nico.
"Ooh, fight!" Ares grins.
Nico grabs for the book before hearing his arm go crack!
"And that's why you don't upset my son," Hermes sighs, recognizing Levi as his son.
"Apollo? Would you please….?"
"On it!"Apollo chants as he drags Nico out of the room.
"Great! Who's going to read?"
"I'll read," Mr. D sighs and continues to read.
"Who are you people and where are you taking me?" I demanded.
"Calm down, we're taking you to a safe place."
"What about my mom?" I asked, instantly remembering my sweet mom at home with her warm smiles and reassuring words.
Everyone smiles at Morgan with sympathy.
"We've already informed her."
She knew about this?
"Tell me your names, now," I threatened, holding the sword closer to both of their necks.
"Ooh, fight!" Ares says, his eyes glowing.
"Would you stop saying that?"
"I'm Annabeth," the girl with blonde hair managed to choke out with the sword on her neck. I felt a wave of guilt and released the sword from her neck.
"Wow," Levi says.
"What?" Morgan asks.
Levi smirks, "Who knew Morgan Blake has a soft spot?"
Morgan pulls out five knives.
"I'm going to shut up."
"I'm Percy," the boy who I secretly thought could have been my long lost twin or something. I also released the sword from his neck.
"Aww, Morgan loves her brother!" Thalia teases. Morgan grins at Percy. "Yeah; even though I hate him, I couldn't live without him."
"Where are you taking me?"
"We're almost there; everything will be explained soon."
I glanced out the window and see a sign that proclaims "Pick Your Own Strawberries!" I raised my eyebrow. Why would these guys take me there? I'm allergic to strawberries.
"Really?" Zeus asks.
"Yeah!"
"That must suck!"
"Tell me about it!"
"Don't worry; the strawberries won't affect you," the boy answered, as if he read my mind. Tears filled my eyes when I realized that what Oliver used to say to me whenever the cafeteria served strawberries. Where is he? Dead?
Poseidon's and Artemis's eyes gleamed with mischief. Morgan shivers at the mention of Oliver. Levi hugs Morgan and she buries her head in his chest. Aphrodite notices the cute couple and softly smiles. Aww!
Ran off? The other cruel possibilities filled my mind and I cried out a strangled sob.
"What's wrong?" Annabeth asks.
"N-Nothing," I objected, trying to get back to my usual self: Hard, tough, and cold Morgan.
"No one's made of stone," Levi whispers to Morgan, kissing her head.
Artemis notices the couple and for once, approves of the relationship and Levi. There was only one man on Earth that was that considerate: Orion. It's a shock at how well-behaved Levi is, considering who his dad is! (A/N: OUCH, BURN!)
"Are you two together?" Aphrodite asks eagerly.
"WHAT? NO!" Levi and Morgan blush.
"We're here!" The boy said in a sing-song matter. The girl slapped his arm, playfully and he grinned at her. They kissed lightly and I silently cried out for my lover, Oliver.
"WHOA, WHOA, WHOA!" Athena yells.
Annabeth rolls her eyes. She was prepared for this.
"Yes, Mother; Percy and I are dating. Just deal with it, please."
Shockingly, Athena calms down and shuts her mouth. It's a miracle!
We got out of the van and were greeted by what seemed like a camp. People wearing orange shirts were flitting from one activity to another.
"Morgan, welcome to Camp Half-Blood."
My blood froze; that's what the monster called me before trying to eat me. Before I could tell them that (I now trust them), a horse walked up to us. Wait a second, that's not a horse…it's a man…and a horse. Okay, there could be a reasonably answer for this: He got stuck to a horse with Super Glue!
"Really, Morgan?"
"What? I was young!" Morgan defends herself.
"Morgan, that was 3 weeks ago!" Levi says.
"Ah, Annabeth and Percy! I see you brought back a new camper! Where's Freddie?" The man/donkey/thing laughs like this is completely normal.
"Oh wow. If Chiron was here, he would be majorly offended!"
"HERE! I'm right here!" Freddie ran up, out of breath. I looked at him for the first time since the apes' attack (which he ran away from) and I saw something way different: He had donkey legs and a donkey butt.
"Freddie and other thing, why do you have donkey butts?" I shouted.
They both let out an irritated bleat while Annabeth and Percy laughed.
"Satyrs!" Freddie exclaimed like that was something as obvious as apple pies made of apples.
"Wow, great analogy!"
"Do you have something better?"
"Okay? Sorry," I backed away. I felt something buzzing in my pocket and I pulled out my phone. Freddie's eyes widened and he threw my phone on the ground and crushed it with his hoof.
"Hey!"
The gods and the demi-gods (except for Morgan, who was blushing) cracked up.
"Sorry, you can't have any phones. Explain, please, Chiron."
"Chiron, as in the trainer that trained Hercules thousands years ago?" I ask, shocked. Everyone nodded.
"Is that all you people did?" Mr. D asks, bored.
"Yes, because they were too lazy!" Morgan yells, making everyone flinch. "Sorry, I have anger issues."
"No duh!" Levi smirks. Morgan throws a knife at him but he intercepts it.
"You're lucky she doesn't have a perfect aim!" Ares yells.
"Wait, you promised you would explain once we got here. Explain," I demanded, drawing my sword from behind me.
"Where do you keep that sword?"
"Morgan, you know about the Greek myths, don't you?" Freddie started.
I nodded, trying to resist mentioning I got an A in that course.
"Smart girl; unlike her father and brother," Athena smiles at Morgan.
"HEY!" Poseidon and Percy shout.
"Well….the myths are real."
My eyes widened in shock and I dropped my sword.
"WHAT?"
"You're a half-blood, aka a half-human and half-god."
"So, you're telling me that I'm half-god?" I shook my head, not believing them at first. But in a way, it made sense.
Everyone nods, as if rehearsed or done many things. So that explains why my mom's a single parent and how I understood what the apes were speaking! Greek! That's what they were speaking!
"Enough of confusing the poor girl, but to answer the cell phone question: Cell phones send up a flare to the monster, so that's a no-no. On that note, I think you need a little tour of our camp! Let's see…Levi!" Chiron shouts. A boy with golden hair and blue eyes looked up and sprinted towards them. I racked my mind, thinking of something to say. Hello, how are you doing, marry me?
Levi smirks at Morgan and Morgan blushes. Everyone stares at the two of them.
"Is there something going on between you two?" Zeus asks.
"NO! NO! NO!" They both shout, covering their faces.
"Okay, then?"
"Yes, Chiron?"
"Would you please show Morgan around camp?" Chiron asked.
"Sure."
I silently followed Levi. Levi showed me a lot of cool stuff like Pegasus riding and etc. I got depressed when we reached the magic archery. Oliver would have loved that. It was obvious Oliver was a demi-god, but who was his other parent, we'd never know. But the depression went away when we reached the cabins.
"About time!" Poseidon exclaims.
"You really don't like Oliver, do you?" Morgan asks.
"Hades no!"
"Stop using my name as a curse!" Hades whines like a little kid.
"Sorry?"
"Okay, theses are the cabins for the demi-gods to live in. Hopefully, when you're claimed, you'll live in one of these cabins. You're over the age deadline."
I raised my eyebrow. "What do you mean?"
"Um, nothing. It's just…you were supposed to be here and claimed by your other parent when you were 13."
Percy glares at his father.
"What? I don't know what Levi's talking about!" Poseidon says, defending himself.
"Okay; after a war (long story!) The gods promised to not ignore their children and to claim them by 13 to avoid them being eaten and killed in cruel ways that spilled blood everywhere. On that note, I think we should stop and eat lunch!" Thalia says in a rushed voice and beams at the gods. The gods clutch their stomachs and groan. This is going to be a long lunch…..
*After lunch*
The gods and demi-gods return to the throne room to find Nico there, trying to eat a turkey leg with one arm.
"Oh gods, Levi! Did you have to do that much damage?" Morgan asks in an exasperated voice.
Nico has bruises all over his face, his lip is busted, and he has both of his eyes blackened. And not to mention, his arm is broken and in a sling and his leg is in a cast.
"It's ok, Morg, just a little bruising." He laughs. "Ouch, it hurts to laugh."
Morgan glares at Levi, who looks down, embarrassed.
"Now that's what I'm talking about! High five!" Ares yells, raising his palm to high five Levi. Levi high fives him but returns to staring at his combat boots.
"Okay, let's shut up and let god read!" Mr. D says, irritated.
Oh, so there's a rule book for the gods! Rule # 1000: Oh, and pick up your kids by the time they're 13 to avoid them being eaten by monsters!
Poseidon looks down, guilty.
"I don't think they have rule book for gods…" Percy says slowly.
"Thank you, Captain Obvious!" Morgan snaps.
"I swear, she's more like Athena than Poseidon," Hermes mutters to Apollo. A knife whizzes by Hermes's ear.
"Dionysus, please continue reading!" Hermes says in a high pitched voice.
"So, this is Apollo's cabin, which is for music loving and poem murdering people."
Apollo glares at Levi, who slouches down in his seat.
I laughed and I noticed how Levi's eyes sparkled in the sunlight and how his hair—
Levi turns to look at Morgan.
"What?" Morgan asks.
"You had a crush on me?"
"Maybe."
Stop, Morgan, you just lost your boyfriend. So stop fantasizing about Levi without his shirt on!
Everyone stares at Morgan. "I'm sorry, okay!" Morgan shouts.
"Next is the Athena cabin; full of smarty pants and honors kids."
Athena and Annabeth scowl at Levi.
"Sorry."
I smirked.
"I'm an Honor kid." And I drew my sword.
He innocently smiled and surrendered.
"You're taking this very calmly."
"It'll catch up to me," I laughed.
"And over here is Cabin Eight: Artemis's Cabin, home to her Hunters."
Before I could control myself, I blurted out, "The maiden goddess, right?"
"Maybe, you're interested—" Artemis starts but is cut off.
"NO!" Levi and Nico yell and then glare at each other.
Morgan twirls a strand of her hair. "What's wrong with the Hunters of Artemis?"
Annabeth answers, "They're immortal, but they have to swear off men forever."
"Hmm…I'll consider it." Morgan winks at Levi.
"You're good. No one stays here but her Hunters. More about that stuff later."
They walked about two cabins down, when I collapsed to the ground and started gasping.
"What is the smell?" I managed to choke out.
"That's Aphrodite's cabin, full of supermodels and deadly perfumes."
Aphrodite huffs and glares at Morgan and Levi.
"Sorry, but their perfumes should have a toxic sticker on them!" Morgan giggles.
Levi helped me up and I couldn't help but stare into his blue eyes. I blushed when I looked down and noticed we were holding hands. But I could even think about Oliver, we both started to lean in, when….
Everyone leans forward.
"OH LOOKIE HERE!" An ugly voice shouted.
Levi and I jumped away from each other, blushing madly.
Levi and Morgan look at each other and blush.
An ugly (did I mention, U.G.L.Y!) girl was standing in front of us. Levi rolled his eyes. "What do you want, Clarisse?"
Now it's Ares's turn to glare at Morgan.
Clarisse narrowed her eyes upon the sight of me. "Nothing; just want to do the ceremony for the newbies."
I raised my eyebrows. "Oh, like you can lay a finger on me!"
Clarisse grabbed my neck and dragged me to the bathroom. Levi tried to follow but Clarisse's fat chicks held him behind.
Everyone, but Ares, laughs.
"Ha, fat chicks!"
Clarisse pushed me towards the toilet when I felt this tug in my gut. I waved my hand over my stomach, trying to stop it. But water just wouldn't shut up. Before I knew it, Clarisse was pushed out of the bathroom cabin thingy and outside.
"Damn, girl! Are you absolutely positive I can't marry this girl?"
Nico starts to plead but stops when a knife is plunged into his only good arm.
"AAHHHHHHH!"
Morgan turns to Levi. "LEVI!"
Zeus sighs while Hermes stifles a laugh.
"Apollo, would you…again?"
"SURE!" Apollo says sarcastically. "What am I, a god?"
"YES!" Everyone hollers.
Apollo rolls his eyes and drags Nico out.
"Now can I continue without any knife throwing?" Mr. D asks loudly. Everyone nods.
I could feel everyone's eyes on me. "I'm so sorry!" I whispered. Suddenly, everyone started gasping and bowing. Even Clarisse and her fat chicks bowed, even though they didn't look happy about it. Clarisse kept on muttering about how I was like my brother. Huh?
"What's going on?" I shout. And then…I saw it. A misty image above my head; a trident.
Chiron emerged form the crowd of campers.
"All Hail, Morgana "Morgan" Blake, daughter of Poseidon, Earthshaker, Stormbringer, Father of Horses all hail Morgana "Morgan" Blake, Daughter of the Sea God." You said what?
"And that's the end. You, Earl, read!" Mr. D yawns and throws Levi the book.
"Um, sir? Actually, I'm Levi!" Levi objects.
But by the time Levi finishes his sentence, Mr. D is knocked out and asleep.
