But plz review who to be the prince of Isolde's dream, either will solace, nico di angelo or luke castellan!
The past three years have been hell for Isolde. Ever since the incident, people have always been scared of Isolde and her weird powers. In fact, most of them have avoided her and those who even talked to her were only to call her monster. Also, Chiron has moved her out of the big house and since she was not claimed yet, has been staying in the Hermes cabin, which brought around another problem. Isolde knew that her parents were Hestia and Hades but neither of them had claimed her or even talked to her in the last two years.
It was during breakfast when Isolde heard 2 sounds of the conch shell ring into the air. She raised her head, rather curious because the sound signified that three new campers were here. Taking her camp-issued sword, Isolde made her way to the camp borders. There were two people there, a boy and a girl. Both of them had blonde hair and they both looked as though they just fought monsters.
Isolde P.O.V
They both looked interesting, and by the looks of it, a child of Hermes and Athena. I tugged my black hoodie over my face and hid behind a nearby tree to continue observing them, thankful that I had left Tazo at the private space in my cabin. If you wonder, Tazo is my hell hound pup, given to me by my father as a playmate. Some people nearby call me out as a stalker but I ignore them, choosing to observe the pair, as they seemed to have lost something close to them. And somehow, I could see their path, like their future aura. The boy had one of anger and the girl had sadness.
True to my thoughts, the moment they stepped over the boundaries, the girl had an owl flash over her head and the child of Hermes had the sign of a caduceus over his. They continued walking, surrounded by some of the campers like Will who arrived a few weeks ago and is a son of Apollo and Castor, a son of Dionysus. My eyes followed them when all of a sudden; the daughter of Athena turned and looked at me in the eye. My eyes widened and I quickly turned around stifling a gasp that she had saw me.
Annabeth P.O.V
I was walking with Will, son of Apollo and Castor, son of Dionysus. You may be wondering how I knew about the gods but I had known that I was a demigod since I was 5, so I was not surprised. While they were leading me and Luke to the big house, I felt someone's eyes on me and I quickly turned, to see a girl dressed in black staring at me. I furrowed my eyebrows when she caught my eyes and turned away. I stumbled to a stop and stood there staring at the direction of the girl. Who is she? Why was she staring at me and Luke? I was brought out of my thoughts by Luke tapping on my shoulder.
"Hey… what are you looking at?" He sounded really confused.
"Nothing…" I replied him. I figured that the girl would not want me to reveal her secret that I had caught her looking at us. No matter I did not know now. I would find out later. Children of Athena always find out in the end.
End of Annabeth P.O.V
Isolde ran away immediately after she had been caught by the daughter of Athena. She was slightly embarrassed. She should have been able to hide since she was a child of Hades with the ability to hide in the shadows. Perhaps that was another reason for her father to be disappointed in her, that she was not good with her powers.
She ran to Zeus fist, a place named after the king of gods, the place where she would hide from the campers during the day for after time, she could not stand their accusing gazes and tongues. Sure, some of them were new but their older cabin mates would have told them about the incident. She felt trapped like a girl being bullied at her high school who had no power to defend herself but here, she could. In real life, she only needs to break the bonds over her power and she could destroy the camp.
Isolde P.O.V
Why do I have to have so much power? Why do I have to be such a freak? Why am I me? I started a fire in my hands and held it close to me. It was my flame of hope. I started to recall the time when we were still a happy family. The fact that both my parents were gods which should make me a godling… but I was not… what was I? A freak… that's what I am… I closed my palm over the fire and stood up. It was almost time for dinner, judging from the shadows position, another gift from my father.
I slowly walked to the amphitheatre… I did not want to see their accusing faces for that day, their fear, their hate. I took the food handed to me by the nymph then queued up behind everyone else to give my offerings to the gods.
"Hestia and Hades" I whispered into the fire when it was my turn after I dropped two strawberries into the fire.
I then took my food and sat down at my end of the Hermes table, where no one sat at, when another girl sat across me. It was the daughter of Athena from before. I looked up from my plate of strawberries and cream and gazed coldly at her.
"Hi!" She squealed excitedly at me. I merely continued to look at her. She looked really young, about 7 which is a year younger than me. When I didn't reply, her face crumpled like paper mache and she just looked at me, tears filling her eyes.
"What is it?" I asked her when I got enough of her sad face.
"Why were you spying on me just now?" She cut straight to the chase, no beating around the bush, like a true daughter of Athena.
"Why should I answer you? I do not own you anything…" I replied her, looking amusedly at her annoyed face at not getting her answer before I got up from my seat and put the now finished plate in the return section. Like a faithful pet, she followed me to the beach, where I go in the evening to avoid going to the campfire. The moment I settled down on the sand, a good bit away from the water, i was bombarded with question from the girl. I looked annoyed at her and she shut up, letting me speak.
"First, I don't even know who you are… what is your name?" I asked her, after all, why would I answer the questions of a stranger.
" My name is Annabeth chase… What's yours?" she asked.
"My name is Isolde, just Isolde. No last name." I smirked at her annoyed face.
"Okay… " she tried to figure out my lack of a last name but failed and pouted. " Hey… why are you always alone?" she asked me.
"So you noticed?" saying I was surprised was an understatement. People don't usually notice me and when they do, it's bad news. I smiled at her… she was quite observant. I didn't reply her and we both just sat there in silence, she no longer probing at my life.
"Hey… do you think we can be friends?" She turned to me, breaking the silence.
"Us, friends?" I was rather shocked. Why would she want to be friends with me? The loner? The freak? Apparently she wanted to be friends with me
"Yeah friends… please? My cabin mates think I'm stupid since I'm so young. You would be my first friend…" she looked at me with puppy dog eyes.
"okay… you know…we can actually be good friends" That's how the friendship between two people started, the one with a cold heart and the one with the curious mind.
