This chapter is going to be about interactions in between the characters before they go on the mission hope you enjoy
Persephone Cabin September Marie and Naomi
"So you ready to leave?" asked Naomi as she looked down at her sister from the top bunk.
"Yeah" whispered September in an unbelievable tone not even bothering to look up.
"Aren't you happy that you get to go with Liam?" asked a worried Naomi. September clearly surprised at the name dropped the brush she was using. "Or is it that your upset at not going with Jaxon?" added Naomi with a uncharacteristic smile.
September Marie looked down, and to Naomi it looked like she was crying "Good now look what you did" thought Naomi as she tried to change the subject, but she couldn't help but add "Maybe it was faith". After a moment of silence Naomi spoke up
"Hey September can I ask you to do something on your trip?" asked Naomi.
"Sure what do you need?" responded September
"Can you take care of Loxetta for me? I mean she's so shy and afraid of blood going to the underworld won't be easy for her" Naomi like others had been unhappy with James "roster" but he refused to change it.
"Of course sis" said September "On one condition"
"What anything September Marie" said Naomi as she leaned over the side of the bunk bed.
"Make sure Jaxon is safe I still haven't decided if I like him or Liam".
Naomi shocks her head to say yes and her glasses feel of. As September Marie put them back on her face she said "And keep your glasses on".
"Naomi come on we should get going James and Salex already left" said September as she got of her bed. Naomi followed her example and they both walked out the door.
Hecate Cabin Haru and Loxetta
"So Lox you sure you going to be okay? "asked a worried Haru to his younger sister. When she didn't answer he quickly followed up "Because if you're not I'm sure a talk with Noli can let you come with me and Naomi" said Haru as he bald his fist for emphasis.
"I'm not worried about not going with you and Naomi" said Loxetta as she brought her luggage to the cabin door. "I mean as much as I want to go with you the thing that scares me the most is having to fight." Haru looked down "Your fear of blood" he said. She merely nodded "Come I want to give you something" with that Haru lead Lox to a small bookshelf. "What is he thinking we could get caught. We were supposed to come and go without disturbing anyone!" thought Lox.
"Take this" Haru's voice snapped Lox back to the real world. "What is it?" asked Lox as she examined it. "A book" said Haru. "Well duh" said Lox "But what's it for?" "It details spells you can use to knock people out. It also shoes pressure points and other weaknesses you can use to immobilize an opponent without or with very little blood". Lox couldn't believe her ears this book was meant for her!
"Where did you find this book?" asked Lox "I've been looking for something like this since I got to camp". "Naomi and I made it. She knows all about pressure points and that stuff I just provided spells from different books".
"So you and Naomi made it?" asked Lox. "It's a pretty big book must have taken a while to make?" Haru began to blush.
"Come on let's get going before someone notices."
Lox put the book in her bag and headed out the door much more confident of her choice.
In the Hades Cabin Kenya and Nico
"So long will you be gone?" asked Nico in a I really don't care voice
"Who knows could be a while" said Kenya. She had told Nico about what was going on and he had volunteered to come with them, but James had said it was out of the question
"Before you leave I want to give you something, and just so you know I forgive you in advanced". Before Kenya could even try to understand she felt a pair of lips on hers. Even though they felt kind of nice she did the first thing that came to her mind, she kicked the kiwis of whoever they were coming from.
Nico feel to the floor holding his sensitive spot he silently uttered "Worth it". When Kenya tried to apologize he said it was unnecessary.
"I better get going" said Kenya. "Bye responded Nico.
All Kenya could think of on her way to the hideout was Nico.
Apollo Cabin Liam and Alyssa
"You know Alyssa where the only ones that seem happy with our groups" said Liam as he stood by Alyssa's bed
"You know why that is right?" asked Alyssa as she continued to pack her stuff.
"Why?" asked Liam
"Because your love-sick over September Marie, and I'm just cool like that" answered Alyssa.
"Well you probably won't be that cool on the trip" said Liam pocking at his fingernails. "And why is that?" asked Alyssa.
"Well word on the street is that Stefani is crushing on Damian. Just to make it more interesting the street also said that Damian quote on quote thinks your cute" said Liam using air quotations on the word cute.
"First of what street second I think you been walking by the Aphrodite cabin too much" said Alyssa patting his hair.
"No need to hide your insecurities by joking I your great brother will be with you the whole time to help you face your love rival" Alyssa would have fallen over laughing if it weren't for the fact that they were sneaking around.
"Love rival seriously? You aren't Nicholas or an Aphrodite girl to talk like that". After she regained control she began to speak again. "I'm not the one who has to worry about that you do cough-Jaxon-cough"
"Whatever" said Liam. "Neither of us has to worry. You know why right?" said Alyssa. "Duh" said Liam "We're hot children of Apollo" they both laughed and heard a small sound coming from a bed.
"Let's get out of here" said Liam as he walked to the door. Alyssa followed him.
On a trail to the hideout Damian and Stefani
"So are you happy with the group you're in?" asked Stefani in an effort to start a conversation.
"Yeah I guess" said Damian "I mean you and Alyssa are in it so at least I know a few people"
"Yeah" said Stefani "You, me, and Alyssa just like always"
"You okay you sound a little bitter?" asked Damian.
"Yeah, but have you ever had a crush on someone and feel like they don't even notice you?" asked Stefani thinking of her own situation.
Her thoughts were disturbed when Damian answered "Yeah I know how you feel". After a few seconds she spoke up "That's it no detailed explanation of what happened, no big speech of how it's going to be alright, not even a pat on the back?"
"OK, But listen up Stef I'm about to tell you something I've never told anyone before" When he made sure she was listening he began.
"Back when I still lived in Ireland there was a girl named Chevonne she was really pretty. One day I asked her out to the dance with a secret letter she wrote back yes. On the day of the dance she didn't show up. When I asked her why she didn't come she said that she didn't know who I was and that she went to the dance with Damian Finnegan" after Damian finished his story they both shared a laugh
"He said he never told anyone before that means he trust me maybe I have a chance with him after all" Thought Stefani.
Outside the Hephaestus Cabin Nicholas and Jaxon
"What are you digging up anyways?" asked Nicholas. When Jaxon didn't answer Nicholas tried again "Dude just hurry up my clothes are getting dirty". That actually got a response from Jaxon "You're not even helping me dig". Nicholas smiled and said "Well you said it yourself I'm not helping so I should leave". As he started to turn to leave his eyes were blinded by a bright light. Jaxon came out of the hole with a golden sword that had the inscription τεχνίτης on it.
"Nice sword" said Nick. "This could give some serious damage"
"Excuse me?" asked Jaxon "Mr. My clothes always have to match actually admiring a sword"
"Well I might actually care about how I look" said Nick having his hand towards Jaxon. "Unlike some people, but I'm still a guy".
Feeling like he'd been burned Jaxon put the sword in his bag, and spoke up "Well if you say so" smiling to himself. "Dude how can you say you're a guy if even as a son of the love goddess herself you can't get the one girl you like to notice you" Nick looked slightly shocked but continued his conversation
"Well she might not notice me, but at least she doesn't like someone else". The two boys walked in silence for a while until Nick spoke up "So craftsmen, is that your swords name?"
"No. But when Leo and I made it that's all we could come up with" answered Jaxon
"Hephaestus kids never had any imagination did they?" asked Nick. They walked they rest of the way smiling and joking around
On a path to the hide out Shelbie and Cassidy
"Well we defiantly got the best group didn't we Cassidy?" said Shelby wiggling her eyebrows.
"It's us and James. He's a pretty good guy so I guess we didn't get the worse" answered Cassidy not realizing what she was saying.
"Oh I'm sure he's a good guy" said Shelbie suggestively making Cassidy blush.
"It's not like that!" yelled Cassidy. "It's just I think it's really kind of him to try and save the camp and Marie" said Cassidy justifying what she said earlier.
"He's not doing it to be kind" said Shelbie. Feeling the stares from Cassidy she spoke again "I'm not saying he's not. It's just that he has another reason". Cassidy didn't seem like she was getting it. "You do know he's had a crush on Marie Levine sine he got to camp right?"
"How could you possibly know that?" asked Cassidy in disbelief.
"Nicholas told me" answered Shelbie very frankly.
"So Nick told you huh?" said Cassidy mocking Shelbie's tone from earlier
"He might have mentioned it, but it's doesn't take confirmation from a Aphrodite kid to see what's right in front of you" Answered Shelbie. They continued on the same subject until they got to the hideout.
At the hideout James and Salex (Later everybody)
James was begging to wonder when everyone was going to get there. He and Salex had been there for about thirty minutes, and it was kind of awkward. Him and Salex didn't have the same age and gender bond Naomi and September had or the cool big brother thing Salex and September had they defiantly didn't have the overprotective big brother thing Salex shared with Naomi. They didn't have anything to bond over with either. He and September Marie would bond over sneaking out and their similar personalities, he and Naomi were both nerds, and Salex was not by any means a nerd or had a personality like James so they had nothing in common except that they were boys.
"James I know why you're doing this" Salex words shock James from his thoughts. He managed to come up with a totally awesome answer "Huh?"
"The reason you want to do this crazy mission" James noticed how Salex didn't call it a quest Saex was very specific with things like this.
"You really like Marie and you just want to save her. It's not that bad since what you're doing is a good thing, but remember that love can blind the smartest man's judgment" James was stunned at Salex's words, but before he could think of something as smart as "Huh" everyone began to arrive at the hideout.
"Now that we're all here I would like to say the leaders of our groups" began James Salex words still in the back of his mind. When everyone was settled into their groups James began "Damian you will lead the group to the underworld Alyssa will be your co-leader". When nobody complained he continued "I'll lead the group to Olympus" Shelbie and Cassidy just nodded. "Lastly Haru will lead the group in the search for Iris with Nicholas as his co-leader" this did not go over as easily. With Haru and Jaxon arguing Naomi lost it "Both of you shut up! James did this for a reason so just be quiet and let him speak!". Everyone even James silenced at Naomi's outburst but James recovered. "Alright" he began "Haru, Loxetta got the spell?" he asked still shaken up about his siblings odd behavior.
After a few minutes they were in a circle with Haru reading a spell. Soon everything went dark. After he woke up it only took James seconds to see what was wrong. First they defiantly not in New York were the spell was supposed to take them, and second everyone was with him again not what was supposed to happen.
"Let go of him!" Naomi's screams jolted him up. He turned to see Jaxon with a fist to Haru's face and Naomi trying to pull him off. "You idiot!" he heard Jaxon scream "You did the wrong spell! who know were September Marie and the rest of them are or for that matter where we are".
"Yup" thought James. "This is not going well
