Bobby and Matthew Chase Chapter 3
Hey it's me! So, I have a little bad news. This might be the last chapter I post for 2 weeks. You see, tomorrow, I'm going to France for 2 weeks. I'm not going to bring my laptop, where I am typing this now, and I probably won't have Wi-Fi anyway. So, this probably might be the last chapter I post. I got such good reviews for the story and figured I should just continue. In my last chapter, I basically gave away Bobby and Matthew's parentage. You will probably find out their parentage this chapter. Also, this is after The Last Olympian and after TLH and TSON and after the Giant Wars. One more thing, I said in the first chapter it was early February. Ignore that. Say it's early summer. Well, here it is!
Last time…
"Boys," Annabeth said. "Welcome to Camp."
Matthew POV
Wow. It's amazing! It's beautiful! It's a… strawberry field. What's so special about that? Annabeth's so happy to come to a strawberry field year round? Seriously, how is this a training camp? Annabeth must have seen my… well sort of disgusted face and said, "Oh, well all you see is a strawberry field at first. We aren't at the actual camp yet." I breathed a sigh of relief. Maybe it would be nice. We continued walking a little further. And then I stopped breathing. Literally. The sight took my breath away. As we stood on the top of Half-Blood Hill, I could see so much. I saw a rock-climbing wall with lava flowing down it, I saw 20 cabins. I saw a dining hall. It was an outdoor hall. Hmm… how does everyone eat if it rained? Oh well, I'm sure they find a way around it. I saw a big 3-story house with a wrap-around porch and blue siding.
Annabeth said, "We have to go see Chiron." And with that she started walking to the 3-story house. Bobby and I exchanged a look and started following her.
While walking there, I looked around. I saw kids playing volleyball and dodge ball, one cabin was planting and watering flowers, and another was growing grape vines. I started to look at the cabins' detail. One cabin has heavy columns and big bronze double doors with lightning bolts across it. "The cabin of Zeus," Annabeth said.
Another cabin looked formal and graceful. It had slim columns and had peacocks and pomegranates on the door. "Hera," Annabeth said in disgust.
Cabin 3 was a long, low building with windows that faced the sea. It looked like it was made of rough sea stone, with coral at the sides. "Poseidon," Annabeth said with a smile. She quickly looked inside and sighed.
"What's wrong?" Bobby asked.
"My boyfriend, Percy, is a son of Poseidon. He isn't here yet though." She frowned, but then continued walking to the next cabin.
Cabin 4 was the cabin where we had seen with the plants. It looked like a gardeners dream. It was covered in flowers and plants. And the roof was made of grass.
"Let me guess," I said. "This is Demeter's cabin?"
Annabeth looked surprised. "Yes," she said. "How do you know?"
"Bobby and I had to learn about Greek Mythology last year in school. Demeter's like the gardening goddess or something."
We continued moving on. Cabin 5 had a bad red paint job with a boar's head stuck on the roof. It had barbed wire all around it and heavy metal booming from the inside of it.
"whose cabin is that?" Bobby asked in disgust.
"Ares," Annabeth simply said.
Cabin 6 was a grey building with silver curtains and an owl on the door.
"This is my cabin," Annabeth said. "Athena, goddess of wisdom and battle."
"Nice," I said.
Cabin 7 looked like it was made of pure gold. Even though the sun was going down, (it was around sunset) it still looked like it glowed gold.
"Cool!" Bobby and I cried.
"Hmm…" Annabeth said. "This is Apollo's cabin, you could be his kids…"
Cabin 8 was silver with silver curtains. It was glowing silver. "Artemis," Annabeth said. "She doesn't have kids. But she has Hunters, who visit occasionally."
Cabin 9 looked like a mini factory. It had brick walls and smokestacks.
"Hephaestus?" Bobby said.
"Yes," Annabeth said.
Cabin 10 looked like a human sized dollhouse and reeked of designer perfume. It was a wooden cabin with a blue roof.
Bobby and I started chocking. The smell was unbearable. All of a sudden, the door opened and a pretty girl jumped out. She had choppy hair with small braids in random places.
"Annabeth!" She greeted.
"Piper!" Annabeth said. They hugged while Bobby and I stood awkwardly to the side.
"Who are the boys?" Piper asked.
"This is Bobby," she said, pointing to me, "and this is Matthew," she pointed to Bobby. "Boys, this is Piper McLean, daughter of Aphrodite, this cabin, and head-counselor."
"Err… Annabeth? I'm Matthew, that's Bobby," I said, pointing. Even our parents get us confused sometimes.
"Err… right," Annabeth said. "I'm just bringing them to the Big House."
"Okay," Piper said. "I won't hold you up. See you at the Campfire!" She went inside the cabin.
Next, we moved to Cabin 11. Cabin 11 was just a simple brown-painted cabin. The door was open, and inside I could see many TVs with video games hooked up to it. (A/N In my story, let's just say that they could have electronics. Picture the cabin from the movie.) This cabin looked AWESOME! It had a caduceus on the door.
"whose cabin is this?" Bobby asked.
"Hermes, god of thievery, trav-"
"Yeah yeah, we know, we just wanted to know whose cabin," I said.
Annabeth looked upset that we interrupted her, but whatever.
Cabin 12 was a simple, dark purple cabin with grape vines lining the roof and walls.
"Dionysus," Annabeth said.
Cabin 13 was made out of obsidian, and had no windows. There were torches on the top of the door that were burning with… what was that?
"Hey Annabeth," I said. "What's that green stuff?"
"Greek fire," Annabeth responded. "It is one of the most deadly substances in the demigod world."
There was a skull over the door.
"Hades," Bobby said.
Annabeth nodded.
Cabin 14, Iris. It was rainbow colored and had a rainbow over it. It looked like a happy cabin.
Cabin 15, Hypnos. It looked like a prairie house. It had a poppy on it. It looked uneventful.
Cabin 16, Nemesis. It was a simple, dark red cabin with nothing else on it.
Cabin 17, Nike. It was a white cabin with wings on the door. It looked like it was floating on clouds. Cabin 18, Hebe. It had a cup on the door. It was a pale yellow, and looked fun.
Cabin 19, which looked like a casino, (cool!) Tyche.
Cabin 20, Hecate. It had twin torches on the door. It was a simple grey cabin with red swirls around it.
Soon we made it to the 3-story house.
"This is the Big House," Annabeth said.
A… a half horse came to door. "I am Chiron, the activities director here at Camp Half-Blood."
"I am Matthew," I said. "This is my brother Bobby. We come from California. Annabeth's out sister!"
Chiron looked at Annabeth. "These are them?"
Annabeth nodded.
Chiron sighed. "Well, there is no easy way to tell you this… but…"
"No easy way?" A new voice said. "Just do it like a band-aid. I'll do it! You two, you are demigods!"
Bobby and I were speechless. "Wh-what?" Bobby said.
Annabeth sighed. "Look what you did, Mr. D. Boys, this is the other camp director. Dionysus, god of wine."
Bobby and I bowed.
"Hmm… I like them." Dionysus, or Mr. D, said. "It's odd… they aren't my children, I could tell you that much, but I like them…"
Chiron said, "I guess I should show you the video."
Bobby and I instantly perked up. Video? I LOVE videos! And so does Bobby!
30 minutes later, Bobby and I walked out of the Big House. Camp Half-Blood is so cool! Apparently, two years ago, Percy Jackson, Annabeth's boyfriend, had defeated the Titan Lord, Kronos. And last year, the Greek and Roman Camp, Camp Jupiter, had combined and defeated the Earth goddess, Gaea. Now, the Roman Camp is combined with Camp Half-Blood, just on the other side of Camp. When you turn an adult, you could go to the city, New Rome, and live a full life there. Even your children and grandchildren could live there! Everyday, you would get a schedule, with your daily activities on it. The rock-climbing wall that we had seen earlier could be deadly. However, nobody had died there, for whoever got injured just got taken to the infirmary and survived. And usually bad weather just went around Camp. It hardly ever rained, unless the gods were super angry. Camp is so cool!
Right now, Chiron is walking us to the campfire, where he will introduce us to the camp, and hopefully our father will claim us tonight. We went on the stage, and Chiron pounded his hoof of the floor for attention. Automatically the camp went silent, staring at us. I saw Annabeth sitting with a boy with black hair and green eyes, there's Percy! I guess he came, finally. Annabeth gave us a thumbs up.
Chiron said, "Campers, we have two new campers with is. Bobby and Matthew Chase, unclaimed. They are Annabeth Chase's brothers. I expect you all to greet them properly, you too, Conner and Travis. No stealing their clothes or money."
Two people groaned. I guess they were Conner and Travis.
"Now," Chiron started, but then there was a gasp. Bobby and I looked at each other, and above our heads was a caduceus.
Chiron started again, differently this time. "Hail Bobby and Matthew Chase, sons of Hermes, god of shepherds, land travel, merchants, weights and measures, oratory, literature, athletics and thieves." Everyone started bowing. "Conner and Travis, come up here," Chiron said. The two people that groaned before came up to the stage. "This is Conner," he said, pointing to the shorter one. "And this is Travis," the taller one. "They are the counselors of the Hermes cabin, and your brothers."
Sweet! They look like fun! "Take them to their cabin," Chiron said.
Conner and Travis led us to the video game cabin. Our bags were already on the porch. Conner picked Bobby's up, and Travis picked mine up. They walked inside the cabin and put our bags on beds.
"These are your beds," Travis said.
I saw Travis take something out of my bag. Normal people wouldn't have caught it, but I did.
"I saw that," I said. Travis grinned and put it back in my bag.
"You are my brother," he grinned. "Do you like pulling pranks?"
Bobby and I exchanged a look. Like? We pulled pranks all the time.
I said, "When we were at school, in the last 2 weeks, we pulled a prank on our history teacher, Mrs. O'Conner. She likes rolling around on her chair. Her desk is by the wall. We put glue on her seat and pancake syrup on the floor around her desk and under her chair. She came in and sat on the chair. She tried rolling backwards, but the pancake syrup was sticky, and she was like, glued to the floor. When she finally managed to move the chair, she was using so much force that she bumped against the wall. She tried to get up, but she was glued to the chair."
"Nice!" Conner and Travis cheered. "Did she find out it was you?"
Bobby grunted. "Some kid saw us do it. He told her and we got detention."
"That sucks," Conner said.
"It does," I agreed.
"But awesome prank! We should pull that on someone!" Travis said.
Other kids started coming it and put their pajamas on and sat on their bunks. Conner and Travis got their attention.
"We have a new prank," Travis said." He explained the prank, and all the kids loved it! We just had to find out who to do it to, but we would do that tomorrow, as it was getting late. We said our goodnights, and crawled under the covers.
I sighed. I finally found a place where I felt like I belonged.
Wow! That was 2,037 words! Nice! That was my longest chapter yet. 6 pages, and this A/N is making 7. I didn't want to leave you with a cliffhanger, I thought it would be mean, since I won't update for like another two weeks. I'll try to write things on my iPhone during vacation and send it to myself and upload it when I get back. Anyway, hope you enjoyed! Reviews would make my day! See ya!
