Alright, so I am really excited about this chapter.
Sorry it has taken forever to update! My language arts teacher is crazy and I have a C in her class. (I usually get all A's) Yeah, I turned in everything, but for some reason, she will just give me zeros! That's why I have been so busy lately!
Disclaimer: As you can clearly see, my name is not Rick. Why would you think I wrote Percy Jackson?
The boy and the girl exchanged looks.
"Hey, I'm Percy. It seems we got off to a bit of a rough start. This is my girlfriend, Annabeth. We can both show you the way to Camp." The boy stuck out his hand to shake, but slowly took it back noticing the children weren't too friendly.
"Ok, sure lead the way," Nina said skeptically. The teens marched with the kids following closely behind.
Later on...
"So this is Camp Halfblood?" Traydon wondered as they approached the boundary.
"Proud supporter of the many demigods," Percy announced proudly.
"Oh," was all Maya and Nina said.
They passed throughout the border which was surprisingly easy.
"Sooooo..." Maya turned to Percy and Annabeth.
"So what?" Annabeth replied.
"What are we supposed to do?" Traydon asked as he stared blankly from the top of the hill.
"Yeah, what's the point?" Nina asked. She was snappy because she was the only one who didn't sleep on the way.
"Uh..you train.," Percy said, kind of obviously.
"For what?" Maya replied still giving him that glare that could make anyone nervous.
"To fight monsters." Annabeth said slowly.
"What if we don't? Like, what if we just don't?" Traydon said, finally turning around.
"You will. " They both said. "Now follow us to the big house." Anything to get out of that situation. "Anyways, what are your names?" Annabeth questioned.
"I'm Alexis." Maya said, not really sure if she could trust them.
"Caleb," Traydon replied simply.
"And this is Grace." Maya said gesturing to Nina. Nina was a terrible liar, and Maya wanted to make sure she didn't give them away. "So, let's get to the big house!" She said with false enthusiasm.
The five of them trudged to the big house.
It was early April, so it was a little bit windy, but the weather wasn't too bad. When they got to the house, storm started to brew above them.
"Will we get the storm?" Nina asked.
Before Percy could answer, Maya cut in. "No." Was all she said.
"How did you know that?" Annabeth asked her.
"There's a boundary, couldn't you feel it?" She said, actually asking them.
Traydon gazed up at the sky. "You really are a freak." He said before walking inside.
The rest followed in pursuit. The demigod saw Chiron, the camps head centaur.
The reactions weren't much. A slight eyebrow raise from Maya, warhead muttered from Traydon, but Nina did something you probably wouldn't expect. Her eyes a and face lit up and she asked him, "Can I pet you?"
"Sure." Chiron said.
Nina ran over to him.
"Can I braid your tail?" She asked after a few seconds.
"Why not?" He replied with a slight chuckle. "As long as you listen. Now, as you may have figured out by now, you three are demigods."
"Like, half human half God?" Traydon asked.
"Yes, like that. Camp Halfblood is one of the few safe places for you. You are all children of the Greek gods. As of which greek God, we are unsure. You will find out soon enough though. At some point or another, you will be claimed. Then, you will live in the cabin dedicated to your godly parent. Understood?"
"Yes sir." The children rose from the couch as Nina tied off her braid.
"Now if you'll excuse me, I have some plans to prepare for. Annabeth, if you could give them the tour of Camp."
Annabeth led them out of the house, and showed them all around the camp. She showed them the fields, the arena, the forge, the beach, the courts, and the cabins.
"And finally, the Hermes cabin. This is where you will be staying until you are claimed. Now I have some training to finish. Just get settled in,, and be prepared for tomorrow. Capture th flag, so train hard!" She finally marched off to the training area.
The children settled in to an empty corner of the cabin, and fell asleep.
The next morning, the three of them woke up.
"I didn't get claimed over night did I?" Nina began to hyperventilate. She tends to freak out over stupid stuff like this.
"No, but remember the act, Grace," Maya replied putting emphasis on the word Grace.
"Yes, I remember, Alexis." Nina giggled as she said it.
"Caleb, should we get to breakfast?"
"Yes, Alexis, we shall." Traydon replied, formally marching out of the cabin.
"Hey guys! Where ya been? We missed you at breakfast!" Said a familiar voice. It was Percy from the day before.
"Oh hey Percy!" Nina said awkwardly. She could keep her cool when she was confident, but when things got weird, that was when Maya took over.
"Hey dude, wadup! We just overslept a little!" Maya said.
"Guys, I'm starving." Traydon said as he grabbed his stomach.
"Sorry! You'll have to wait till lunch, they don't serve latecomers." Percy said.
"BACAH!" Traydon called out.
That was the group signal. Whenever they had to have a secret meeting, they would call that out.
"There has to be a way to get food." Nina spoke first.
"The food system here is magical, I can feel it." Maya said, looking around.
"You really are a freak." Nina and Traydon both said. That was kind of an inside joke for them. Maya would say strange things sometimes, and they would call her 'thefreak'.
"We will have to break into to get food."
"Is there anything we do better?" Traydon said.
The three of them did their handshake, which was hand on hand. Then, they would touch elbows, pull back, snap, then lift. The three of them broke the huddle, and marched towards the kitchen.
Ok, I don't know if you got the handshake, but it's not very important. I am really proud of this chapter. I am not sure which godly parent should claim them, though they each should have a different one. If you could review with ideas, wonderful! Adios mofos!
