Chapter 6
I'm really sorry for not editing my grammars in the last chapters.
Really! I haven't got the time I needed to edit them yet…
Its really short...
Here we go…
NICO
First impression of the Caramel hair girl is that she's tough.
I know I sound lame but the way she handle the situation there is amazingly good for a person who don't know the situation she's facing.
I heard of them before but I mostly ignore blubber mouths who spat incredible stuff, like Aliens are real and Big foot haunts the forest.
Miraculously they do got the part where Children of gods are walking here on Earth and the most part about Egyptian Gods like them.
She's probably in my age (except she's not 80 years old in the body of a 14 year old like me), couple of inches smaller and a little to skinny like those girls in the Aphrodite Cabin, with her slight tan skin and Caramel colored hair with stripes of red here and there.
I glance at the back wondering there reaction to all of this but instead of observing I found her looking at me.
She quickly averted her gaze pretending to fiddle with her necklace.
I cleared my throat.
"Were almost there" I announce pointedly to them.
I can already see the pine tree.
The property line is what they called it, but in the mortal's eyes its just a Big White House Christmas tree near the hill.
I shrug the shrill forming in my back as I approach it.
Its been a year since I finally settled here but sometimes I switched both here and In the underworld and sometimes in Camp Jupiter to visit Hazel, my sister and some of my friends there.
It's exhausting but this past few months I'm really getting more and more exhausted from what I have whenever I Shadow travel.
It happened before though but it's only because Gaea's presence is everywhere.
I shrug the chill off.
It's going to happen again if we don't stop Uranus from destroying the world but the never ending battle wouldn't happen if it's not because of him.
I heard one of the troops mutter were here with the Magicians.
I cross the line. The Camp is now visible.
The lake, the cabins, the stables and all of those that feel very comforting. Bianca would have been happy here but I doubt that. If she's still alive she's probably with the Hunters of Artemis.
I shrug.
I turned around and for a second I stop to see if the property line would let them in.
If Chiron would be stupid enough to shut the barrier where we needed it the most.
But as they approach I could see the wondering look of the girl, the awed expression she wear.
Her eyes glisten with wonder and that struck me that she can see it here.
I look at her companion but looking at there curios expression, I know they don't know.
I probably look stupid when James Marshlow thumped me on the back.
"You okay?" He asked.
I'm rip out of my head.
I nod and shook my head my black hair grew longer this summer and a part of it is already tied on the back.
Funny though how my body also grew muscles a little but I'm still skinny.
My hand gripped my knife as I slide along the slope down the Camp.
I could hear the campers as we approach them the volleyball court pack with people as the match between the Apollo and Ares cabin goes on.
They stop their match and approach us.
Some eyed the 3 girls behind us and the others asked if were okay or what is it that attacked us and by means I just want to get out of here and sleep in my Cabin.
I can see Drew making her way to the other Aphrodite girls near us, shoulder-passing Piper Mclean as she approaches us.
Piper is one of the 7 demigods who are prophesize to defeat Gaea and also the Head of the Aphrodite cabin.
The irritation she had on her face changes when she saw me and it change into confusion when she saw 3 overgrown teenagers near me.
Her eye color changes and her face show that she knew what they are.
"Make way Guys" She said and the campers oblige.
Piper is the daughter of Aphrodite, Making her having the ability to Charmspeak.
"Come on Nico" She called gesturing for us to the Big House "Chiron is expecting them".
