Disclaimer: Read my pen name.. it says LiLi... does LiLi sound like a guy name to you because I checked it's not.
Chapter 4: Camp Half-Blood
I ran as fast I could to get away from the consent bickering that I had dealt with for hours. I stopped to rest from all the running I did, to finally realize that I had climbed a hill. I looked down the side I came from to see my friends, LiLi, and Sam a few feet away from me. So I thought that I should sit on the grass and relax for a while. It was quiet until.. CLANG! CLANG!. It sounded like metal colliding against each other. I realized it was coming from the opposite side of the hill. I got up from my spot on the grass and walk over to the top of the hill. I looked down to see cabins lined in a U-shape, a big wooden house that was fit for twelve people and many other attractions.
After a couple of minutes of staring at the sights, I felt someone come up behind me and hug me. I jumped forward a little and turned around to the one and the only, Jacob Gardener.
I sighed, relieved it wasn't someone else. "Don't scare me like that!" I said, exasperated after recovering from the initial shock of it all.
Jake smiled and replied, "Sorry for startling you but LiLi and Sam are eager to show us around the camp. So they wanted to come and get you up from your daydreaming pose."
I smiled in return and responded, "Okay, I will be there in a second."
"Okay, just don't take too long. I don't want LiLi and Sam to have yet another fit."
Then Jake turned around in a one swift motion to go join the others. I stayed the same spot for a minute or so. Until I heard LiLi shout, "Brianna, if you don't come down here, we are going to have a serious issue."
I didn't think she was serious, so I rolled my eyes. Then, I noticed the sword that she held in her hand, waving it threateningly at me while Sam held up a pretty heavy looking shield.
Needless to say, I didn't need another warning. So I ran down the hill and stood in between Erica and Carmen.
LiLi sighed with relief. Then Sam interrupted the silence, "Thanks Brianna for FINALLY joining us. Now, off to take this tour."
The two older girls turned to Camp Half-Blood, smiles on their faces. If something so great could make two people that seemed to have really no other joy in life smile, I knew that I would love it here.
LiLi started at the big wooden house I had saw earlier. We entered through the side door. LiLi took us to an upstairs room where a middle-aged man in a wheel-chair and a drunkard were sitting at a table playing cards.
The wheel-chair man turned towards with a smile on his face. He greeted us with a nod of his head, "Welcome back LiLi and Sam. I see your quest was a success."
LiLi and Sam gave each other awkward glances. Sam replied with slight disappointment in her voice, "Not quite, Chiron."
The wheel-chair man or Chiron looked from LiLi and Sam to my friends and I. "Wasn't there suppose to be another young man?"
LiLi responded, "Yes, Chiron, but a fury attacked and took him away, so we might need a quest to get him back."
Chiron stood with a puzzled look on his face. After a couple of seconds, which were the most awkward seconds of my life, Chiron finally answered. "Why don't you take them to dinner and we will figure this situation out later? Good day, young demigods."
After we left the "Big House", we arrived at the Dining Pavilion. LiLi told us that when we receive our food to go toward the fire in the middle of the room and give a portion of our food to the gods. And also if we get thirsty to think about the drink and it will appeared in our cups. I am still shaky about the "gods" thing but it will be all right. I walked up toward the fire pit.
I threw most of my fries into the fire, and walked away. I didn't know what else to do. Thanks to the hospitality here. I saw Jake sitting with Erica, Gina and Alex. I wondered where Carmen was but that left my mind instantly when she arrived at the table seconds before I did.
I sat down in front of Jake and beside Carmen. To my surprise, the room was very quiet. It was strange because it was very noisy earlier. So I whispered towards Erica, "What's up with the noise level in here?"
She pointed toward the crowd of kids. I finally understood what to do so I turned around to see everyone staring at our table. It was like we were a germ-infested vermin. I slowly turned back toward the table to start eating my lunch. When I looked at Jake, there was a misty lightning bolt of his head. Then I turned toward the others. Erica had a misty dove, Alex had a fire, Carmen had a trident, and Gina had some sort of grain.
Just out of curiosity, I looked over my head to see a lyre over my head. Chiron stood up from his seat at the head table and bowed his head. He spoke, "Hail Jacob Gardener, son of Zeus, king of the gods and skies. Hail, Carmen Martinez, daughter of Poseidon, god of the oceans. Hail, Alexander Hammett, son of Hephaestus, god of fire. Hail, Gina Haraway, daughter of Demeter, goddess of harvest. And Hail, Brianna Ramos, daughter of Apollo, god of music and healing.
Oh, this just got really creepy, really fast.
Well, that is the end. Thanks I'mAnIdiotButWhoCares for beta-ing my story. Review, please?
Until, the installment of Welcome to the Real World.
XOXO,
LiLi
