"Who are the Stolls?"

"They like to prank the Demeter cabin. Primarily me since I'm the leader. Their favorite thing to do is put easter bunnies on the roof. Then the ants come and they then eat the fruits and vegetables we like to grow." She put her hand on her forehead.

"That sounds awful."

"It is. We even put traps up and they still got them up there."

"Why not use pesticide? They are pests." She smiled at me.

"If only it were that simple."

"If only." At least she smiled.

"So. Why did you say mutant plant powers earlier."

"My dad and I were huge marvel fans. We always dreamed of one of us being a mutant, but some snake lady ate him today which is why I had to come here." I looked down at the ground. I felt a hand on my head.

"It'll be okay. I understand why you say mutant instead of halfblood. Besides, when you really think of it the term halfblood sounds a little offensive."

"Yeah. It does sound offensive. Why were you and that guy battling?"

"We were sparring. It's to make sure we can defend ourselves later on."

"Defend yourselves from what?"

"Monsters." She paused for a second. "You ask a lot of questions."

"I just got here. I don't know how things work. I met this one centaur then I passed out. I just got out of the infirmary." I shrugged. She started walking so I just followed her. So far, of all the people I had met, she was my favorite.

"Follow me. We're going to go to the strawberry fields."

"Why?"

"I want to see if you can do something there. Is that okay with you?" She asked. I just nodded and followed her. I wonder if she can teach me how to do what she did in the arena. It looked really cool.

"Hey, Katie?"

"Yeah, Rose?"

"You should have used vines with thorns. They could have caused him a little bit of harm and stalled him while you attacked. You could have won."

"I know I could have."

"Then why didn't you?"

"Winning's not everything, Rosie," She smiled like she knew something I didn't. She probably did. When we got to the strawberry field she took me to a couple of bushes that were dead.

"Can you bring these three back to life for me?"

"I can try." I held out a hand. I wasn't really sure what to do at all. All of my movement felt forced. So I stopped. I stared at the plant and I was sure that if it had eyes, it would be staring at me. I took a deep breath and took off my socks and shoes. The ground here felt dry and sandy. That's not right. That's not right soil at all.

"The ground is sandy here. It's not right for plants to grow."

"Then try to fix it, okay?"

"How do I fix it? What time is it anyways?"

"It's nine in the morning. I'm going to go tend to my other activities. I want you to report back to me when you're done with this. If you can't then I still want you to report back to me, okay?"

"Okay Katie." Then she left me alone in a strawberry field. I didn't know what to do. How does one fix bad soil and bring strawberry plants to life? Then I was pushed down by two males. Well. Not pushed down. More like they ran into me. I fell into the strawberry plants.

They hid in the dense foliage of strawberries, occaisionally stealing a few. They looked identical and had brown hair and blue eyes. I crouched down to their level.

"Who are you?"

"Shhh! We're the Stoll brothers! We're hiding from Katie. Now keep quiet!" I glared at them.

"Get out of the strawberry fields. You really shouldn't be eating them anyways!"

"Why not?" The one on the left challenged. I glared more and the straw berries all started getting darker. Like how gross strawberries look. Oh great. I broke the strawberry bushes.

"Because Stoll! You're making me mad which is making the strawberries and soil all gross!" Both of them froze for a second.

"She sounds like Katie."

"Get out of my strawberry fields, Stolls!" I clenched my fists and grit my teeth. They popped another strawberry into their mouths and then their faces turned. They hopped up and ran away. Then I felt bad for screwing up the strawberries even more. I plopped down on the ground. What am I going to do? I decided to pull a comic out of my back pack and think of a solution after I read some good material. X-Men.

After I ran out of comic books there was this one really loud horn. I noticed all the kids running towards one place. It reminded me on salad days at school. Mmm... Salads. I wonder what each of the X-men prefer on theirs... Most of all what the differences between young magneto from first class and from the later movies were. I shot up from my laying position on the ground. I closed my eyes and heard the voice of young Professor.

"A point between serenity and rage, huh?" I slowly held my hands out to the strawberries. I remembered Marvel Movie nights with my dad. I just remembered my dad in general. I felt myself start to cry. I felt my energy start to sap away. When I was finished the soil was good, the strawberries were perfect, and I just wanted to curl up and sleep my life away. I couldn't use my powers like that. There had to be another way.

Then I fell collapsed in the strawberry fields with no one around me. I was all alone.

When I woke up after passing out for the second time. It was night time. I ate a strawberry just to try it. It tasted like how I like my strawberries. I did it! I fixed them. I started to chuckle weakly. I could be the next most powerful mutant.

I was too exhausted to get up and find somewhere to sleep. I opened my eyes wearily and I saw some giant golden wheat above my head. I saw the lights of flashlights quickly go out.

"Chiron! I found her! Over here!" Why were they being so loud? I just want to go back to sleep. I closed my eyes again.

"Demeter," I heard a man's voice. Then someone picked me up. It was a girl.

"Good job, Rosie. You did good today. Now get some rest, kiddo."

"Don't... Call me... kid." Then I fell asleep again.
