Sorry for taking too long, I had no time to keep writing until now. Too much homework :/ but here it is soo... enjoy it
Chapter 4- Reyna
We took longer to get to the big house because this guy "Percy" said random stuff about mythology every time we saw a cabin. That doesn't bother me. What bothered me was how he referred to everything in the greek sense:"is that the Aphrodite cabin?", "I'm pretty sure the name for that is Hephaestus, not Volcano", "Who are Romulus and Remus?" (who doesn't know who they are?), he was just dispairing me. I was relief when we finally get there, he just stared at it, and he looked scared.
-is there a problem?
-n-nothing I just feel weird here.
-I what sense?
-in the sense of "I've been here before" or "I feel I've seen something like this before" but can't remember what.
-yeah, well let's get in.
The big house looks like a normal camp house in the inside, full of awards and statues of wolves and heroes. The office at the end of the hall has different photos of wolves with names on them: resonant, anulum, vox, and canis. Back of the desk was lying a she wolf with red glasses reading the newspaper.
-um, lupa… where you asking for me? -I asked, lupa raised her head and look at me with those black eyes. I hated lupa in that way, I mean she's wise and great but a little scary sometimes.
-yes, I called you- she said- I just wanted you to be here, After Jason's disappearance you were the only camper out of the camp, I needed to be sure everybody was safe.- her tone was calmed but that was not enough reason, there must be something she wasn't telling me, the real reason to make me come.
- but that is not the only reason, it is?
-certainly not, after your I-M I got a little curiosity about your friend- she turned to Percy.
-me- he said- how can I be useful? I can't even remember where I come from.
-not much boy, but your appearance was just three days after a camper's disappearance and that seem quite suspicious don't you think?
-I suppose
-You look like a powerful demigod; do you know who your godly parent is?
-not really
-well, I'll keep an eye on you- she stayed quiet for a moment, other hateful part of her- Percy… I remember that name- she murmured.
-Is there something bad with my name? -he asked.
-no, I just kind of remember that name
-well my real name is Perseus like the greek hero who killed medusa.
-greek hero? what do you mean, do you know something about mythology boy?
-well… little stuff I can remember.
-a little? - I said- he was just telling me how gods have established themselves en the actual world, he said something about Olympus?
-but, it can't be! There is no way!
-no way of what? - I replied
-n-no-nothing just g-go, I need to I-M someone, prepare him for the activities, but first, is he already established in Mercury's cabin?
-nop, he just avoided it
-well take him there, then prepare him, then come back here, I need to talk to you.
-sure lupa.
We were almost out when I notice a strange mist coming out of another room of the house: the oracles room, that oracle chilled me, always right; it was him who predicted Jason's disappearance a few months ago. Just think about it scares me; so much I didn't notice the small statue on the floor and stumbled.
-are you okay? - the boy hurried to help me as soon as I fell- what was that? - I must have hit my head because it hurted. I opened my eyes and saw the boy, I didn't notice it before, but this guy had deep green eyes, as the sea, he was cute…just cute. He seemed worried about me as if my security was his life reason.
-I-I'm fine, I just fell
-be careful please, I don't want you to get hurt.
-why?
-Who knows, You just reminded me about someone I care of.
-well…thanks, come on we have to get to the Mercury cabin
-the caduceus one?
-yeah
-Hermes' cabin
-mercury's!
- okay.
Mercury's cabin was like an old white house, it had cuts on the wood, red paint marks (maybe that's blood), and the roof was falling. But I like it because of the big caduceus on the front, it had a brilliant silver color that no matter how many times you hit it, paint it, cut it, etc. it remain as beautiful as always.
We enter and I remember that behind that shiny caduceus was a big chaos. The cabin was full of about 25-30 people in purple shirt. Most of them had their space at the floor and a few lucky ones on the beds. If the cabin seems old from outside, inside was worse, to be simple: it was almost falling.
-Hey Reyna, what's going on, why the visit? - a girl with black curly hair said. Gwendolyn opened herself a space over the crowd and got closer, she smiled, then she saw Percy-oh and this is…
-Percy, a new demigod. He's undetermined so he will...
-stay here –she finished, she turned to him- aren't you a little big for being a living demigod?
-yes, he is but that's not the point.
-okay, I'll take him Reyna, you may go, he'll be fine
-I knew that, that's why I brought him here, good luck.
I knew something was wrong as soon as I leave the cabin, but I have enough things to think about: Prophecy, Jason, new Quest. So I just walked into my cabin. The door was just two meter in front of me when I listened to a big crash, when I looked back; there were large jets of water coming out from mercury's cabin, and a fluid around it.
keep reviewing -Nefele ;D
