Gaea's Curse

By NewWorldFiction

Chapter Four

Dropping her back pack and the bow she had stolen from one of the cabins and walked straight up to him. She stared right back at him. "I'm staying."

Despite the tension in-between them Percy couldnt but help smile. A genuine smile. "Good."

The same went for Katniss, emotion over coming her. "Let's get going then."


Percy in the lead, he brought Katniss back to camp just in time for the camp fire. With her following he took a seat in the far back rows and began to explain to her some of her questions. For example: where she will be staying, training, eating, so on.

"Just be careful while in the Hermes cabin since Hermes is the god of thieves and is known for pranking. The same goes for his kids."

"Okay." Katniss nodded.

"Hey Percy..." a girl's voice spoke up behind them. Twirling around they found a Asian girl with way to much make up on. In her hands were two things of marsh mellows on a stick. All nice and roasted. Immediately Katniss knew she was going to dislike this girl.

"What do you want Drew..." Percy sighed.

"Well Percy, I got you some marsh mellows..."

"What's the catch?"

"Percy! There's no catch! How could you think so low of me?" Drew responded feigning hurt.

Percy started at her.

"Well..." She began to confess until Percy cut in.

"As you can see Drew, I'm talking with the new camper as she needs my help. Please talk to me later."

"But Percy..." She whined.

"Go Drew." Percy demanded, annoyance in his voice. Along with a promise of pain.

"Fine." Drew huffed, storming away. However she stopped for a second to glare at Katniss before taking off.

"What's her problem?" Katniss asked the seasoned demigod.

"She's a daughter of Aphrodite. The goddess of love. And that girl, Drew, has been after me for gods know long. What she doesn't understand is never in a million years would I date her."

"I can see that." Katniss chuckled.

"Anyways... Tomorrow the Hunters are coming and just to let you know, they wont go easy on you. It's kind of sad that your first true day at camp is going to be butt whooped by them."

"Who are the Hunters?"

"Well they're this group of girls, who are immortal as long as they don't fall in combat or lose their virginity. As a result they swear off all men and pretty much hunt them down along with monsters."

"Um... Okay?"

"Don't Judge them though. Most people see them as terrible people but really they've all joined because of something that terrified or scared them. After a while you realize they're really good people."

"Well I cant really decide, as I've never met them."

"See if people thought like that, they wouldn't have such a terrible reputation." Percy said. "Your the perfect example."

"Oh thank you..." Katniss blushed.

"Now its getting time for bed... here, I'll show you the Hermes cabin." Getting up Percy let out his hand. "You coming?"

Katniss grasped his hand and he pulled her up, "Of course."


That night Percy had a very demigod-like dream. He stood in a spherical marble room. Completely spherical, there were no walls or ceiling. Just a ball. Residing in the center, in complete zero gravity were two Objects, inter-lapping each other. And for some reason Percy was attracted to it.

Slowly he came closer and there he was able to make out the objects. They were two identical earths. Well the landmasses were, as one world was dotted with lights, every continent, every island. But the other one had nearly none. There were only a few and they resided in California.

My world. A voice echoed out. A voice he knew clearly. A voice he hoped he would never hear again. Gaea's.

It's Inter-lapping with yours. My dream world... And soon it will become reality... enjoy your final moments demigod. As soon your godly spawn wont be in your world anymore...

Percy woke up with a start, his pajamas drenched in cold sweat. His breathing erratic and his heart racing so fast it would give Hermes a run for his money. Slowly when he calmed down he realized it was morning. A perfect time to talk to Chiron. And just maybe get the answers he needs to help Katniss.


"So you had a dream?" Chiron asked, still overcoming his sleepiness.

Currently they were waiting for the other cabins to come to breakfast. And so Percy was talking with Chiron at the head table.

"Yes, I think it explains Katniss' Problem." Percy informed his teacher.

So Percy explained his dream as more and more campers began to file in.

"I'll contemplate on your dream Percy. For now sit down and start eating, well talk after capture the flag today."

"Thanks Chiron."

Walking to his table, Percy took a seat and began to eat his breakfast Completely oblivious to the fact that the Stolls had switched his milk with bad milk.

As Percy was enjoying his meal, Chiron got up and ushered the campers to be silent. "Now I would like to introduce our new camper! Katniss will you step forward."

From across the pavilion Percy could see Katniss get out of her seat at the Hermes cabin. She looked some what pleased to escape the Stolls as they had seated her in-between them but stiff from the idea of standing in front of the whole cabin.

Slowly at first she made long jerky strides up to Chiron, but soon she became filled with confidence and her strides became fluid. You've been through worse. She told herself. You've stood in front of a whole country before...

Before she knew it she was right in front of Chiron. "May I ask, do you have a surname?"

"Yes. Everdeen." she responded, chin up.

"Camp Half-blood! Welcome our newest camper: Katniss Everdeen!"

Quickly applause filled the pavilion. Some forced, others genuine. But along with it came whispers: "She looks older then 13. Why hasn't she been claimed? "I heard she stole from the Apollo cabin."

"You may sit down now." Chiron told Katniss as she nodded and sharply turned around and walked back to her table; chin high.

That girl has some confidence. Percy thought smiling. She'll do well.


The Hunters arrived shortly after breakfast and within that time they either took off to archery range to piss off some arrogant sons of Apollo or relaxed in their cabin.

During that time Percy showed Katniss around camp. He took her to the beach, the arena, the volleyball courts and even to the Pegasus stables. Strangely Katniss liked it there.

It was when they arrived to the archery range they came across problems. There at the lanes were two hunters a trio of Apollo campers, both groups looking like they were going to kill each other.

"Here, I got to fix this. If you want you can try some archery." Quickly Percy took off to the arguing demigods and Hunters.

"Okay..." So Katniss followed her advice and examined the bows on the racks. Testing each one until she found a fit. Acquiring a quiver she took off to the archery lanes, and when she was about to notch her first arrow, Drew showed up. Along with two other girls.

"What do you want." Katniss scowled as she lowered her bow.

"You'll never get him you know that." Drew sneered.

"What..."

"He's had a fight with his GF. It's been like that the last few months. Soon they're going to break up and when they do he's mine."

"Oh really. Because he told me he wouldn't date you, not even in a million years." Katniss snapped. She was never good in staying calm.

"He just doesn't see it yet." Drew took a step closer. "Look at you. Your weak and scrawny. I bet you couldn't lift that bow much less shoot it."

At this Katniss raised a eyebrow, a evil smirk coming across her face. "Oh really."

Drew smiled. A dark smile. "I bet on my perfume set."

While the girls behind drew gasped Katniss was taken back, "What?"

"Go ahead. Shoot." Drew said confidently.

Once again a smile crossed Katniss' face despite the strange bet, "Your wish is my command." Quickly she mad a slight curtsy and notched a arrow.

Taking aim she let out half a breath and...

Twang!

The Arrow went flying and hit... bull's eye.

"Wha..." Drew gasped.

But Katniss wasn't done yet as she shot two more arrows splitting the previous.

Quickly Drew sneered, "That's easy, even the Apollo cabin can do that."

So Katniss proved her wrong. She quickly twirled around and found a target. When she did, she shot.

"What are you doing! that's not even at the..." she stopped when she saw the arrow glide hundreds of yards before hitting a squirrel perched behind layers of foliage. Right in the dome.

"How about now?" Katniss asked smugly as she walked to the bow rack and dropped off her equipment. Behind her she heard slow clapping. Turning around she saw two dumfounded hunters and shocked Campers. As for Percy, he was slowly clapping.

"Way to show them."

"Thanks." She blushed, but tried to hide it.

Percy smiled, oblivious as always.

"Now lets go. It's almost dinner. And afterward is capture the flag. I think I know what I'm going to do with you..."
