Hey guys, I'm making some changes to the story because I'm not satisfied with it. This chapter's for you Syd, thanks for the review!
Ok, anyways, here's chapter 4:
Dria's POV:
"You live here? Annabeth asked, staring at my house in awe. "This is ten times the size of the Dare's house!"
"Who?" I asked, sceptically. "A friend." She replied.
I noticed that Piper had been unusually quiet all this time. I looked at her. She looked thoughtful, when she saw me looking, she smiled. "So..." I said. "Are we going in or not?"
They nodded and I led them to through the huge gardens. My house was a huge modern Victorian. It was actually three mansions merged to make one. Don't ask me why someone needs such a big house, I honestly don't know. It was painted light blue with long arched windows. The garden surrounding it had been tamed to perfection and it had two huge fountains just in front, one on either side.
We reached the front gate, I opened it and we got in.
A surprise was waiting for me.
"Drie! I was waiting for so long!" My big sister gushed as she ran to hug me. I hugged her back, "I didn't know you were going to come today." She snorted, "I sent you an owl." Then she looked up and realised that I wasn't alone. "Uh oh."She muttered under her breath. She wasn't supposed to mention any wizard related term in front of people.
Let me explain, six years ago, when my sister was eleven, she got a letter from a school called Hogwarts (AN: See what I did there?), a school for witchcraft and wizardry. I bet it was amazing for her. I always envied her, well, now I don't because I'm weird too.
"Uh," I said to decrease the tension. "This is my sister Arianna. Ari, these are Annabeth and Piper. They smiled, "Nice to meet you." Piper said with a smile.
Ari smiled back, "So, what are you guys doing here?" "Sleepover," I replied. "We're heading for camp right after. Her face fell, "What camp?" I looked at the others with a look saying, 'I can tell her right?' They nodded and I said, "Why don't you come up to my room? We have a lot to talk about."
Piper's POV:
Dria's room was pretty big, not as big as mine, but big. It was painted blue and was filled with the vaguest of thing. There was a shelf filled with different types of sports material – balls, bats, rackets, the works. The other side was filled with instruments, more than I could name. Could this girl actually play the bagpipes?
Dria flopped on her bed and motioned us to do the same. "Right," Ari said, "What is it you wanted to tell me?"
Ari was pretty. She had long brown hair, just like Dria's, only hers were a mass of curls like Annabeth's and Dria's were tamer. Unlike Dria, she had big hazel eyes. They both had a similar athletic build. Being a daughter of Aphrodite, I noticed all this stuff.
"I'm not sure I can explain it right but I'll try my best to give you a clear picture of what happened today." At this, Ari's eyes went big, "What happened? You aren't hurt, are you?" I snorted, "You're worrying about the wrong things. She could take on a Chimera; it's the monsters that have to watch out." Ari looked at me as though I was mad, "The what?"
"Let me explain Ari, thanks for nothing by the way Piper." Dria said, scowling at my direction. "Yeah," Annabeth agreed, "That could have gone smoother." I pretended to zip my mouth and Dria continued, "So, I was monitoring the party but I got bored so I went out to get some fresh air. I was near the lockers when I saw two knife wielding maniacs..." "Hey!" I objected.
"Fine, I'll rephrase. I saw two girls with murderous expressions..." I cut in again, "How is that any better."
"Piper, why don't you take the first shower?" Dria asked me, smiling a slow sweet, very fake smile.
"Yeah, I get that I'm not wanted." I said dramatically.
"Second door to the left." Dria said and I huffed. She then continued, "Annabeth, there's another bath if you want to go." Her message was clear. She wanted to talk to her sister alone. "Okay." Annabeth said as she slid off the bed. "Come on Piper." I got up and followed her out of the room.
Dria's POV:
I told my sister everything, right from where I saw Annabeth and Piper with weapons to when I shot and arrow through the chimera's heart. She was really patient and didn't interrupt me. When I finished, she was sitting frozen, staring at me.
"So..." I said, just to break the silence. She cleared her throat and said, "Um, you want hot chocolate?" Really, my sister couldn't be serious for more than few minutes. I sighed, oh well, you can't have everything. "Sure." I grinned and we raced to the kitchen.
