Chapter Two
Following Farron
Camp Half Blood
Melody's Pov
The Aphrodite cabin finally get out of the bathroom.
Now I just have to wait until the Hermes cabin has showered and then it's my cabins turn.
We have a set order for showers on week nights, week ends its every man for themselves, it's absolute chaos. Which is awesome.
The order is Aphrodite's cabin first because they need more time, which is exactly why they should go last, then it's Hermes because that cabin has the most kids, then my cabin because we have the most kids after Hermes ad so forth until Demeter's cabin which is last because that has the least amount of kids.
My name is Melody, my Godly parent is Apollo. I don't really look like him, like most of my siblings but out of all of us I am the best with medicines and the second best archer and I tie for first for best singer. I am also the best at poetry.
Which in my eyes makes up for it. I don't mean to sound conceited but that is just what I am told.
I've been told that the camp used to have so many kids but now the total population is twenty nine.
It may not sound like a lot but there aren't many demigods left in the world, at least that's what Farron says.
She is the only one out of all of us to have ever left this camp. She is also the first to have not been here since birth.
I look out of the window. I see Farron walking to the woods.
What is she doing, her cabin is meant to be showering, which means she is meant to be showering too.
I pull on a woolly cardigan and run out of the cabin.
I follow at a distance hoping she won't notice me.
But she does.
She is the child of the God of thieves, all Hermes kids are the best at sneaking so obviously they must be great at finding sneakers too (not the shoes)
"Why are you following me?" she asks. Her normal expressionless face and monotone voice. It's like she never feels anything.
"It's just that you were coming into the woods, it looked dangerous, I thought you may need help" I lie on the spot
"really" she says, I know it's the kind of 'really you expect me to believe that rubbish'
My cheeks tint with red as I blush.
I guess that must've been a really dumb excuse, I mean she leaves the camp grounds on a regular basis and still manages to live and come back.
She wouldn't need anyone's help.
"well no" I say "but you looked really suspicious and no one knows anything about you so I thought I should follow and see if you were doing anything bad"
"Okay then, if you think I am up to no good I will show you what I was coming out here to do" ughh, she still has a monotone voice and no kind of emotion on her face, it is do annoying, she is like a robot.
I follow her further into the woods and we take some turns until we end up at a spotless creek with a big tree next to it.
At the base of the tree is a rock.
"What is this?" I ask her
"I didn't come here alone when I first arrived, but my friend here didn't make it" she says
I hear a hint of sorrow but maybe I'm just making it up to make it seem like she has feelings.
"I'm sorry" I tell her
"For what, it's not like you are the murderer" she scoffs "no I took care of that monster, and every other one I came across"
She turns abruptly stomping off in the direction of camp.
She pauses and lowers her head.
"She was my sister" Farron mutters so that I can hear her. She then stomps even faster and heads for the showers
