Chapter 6
Cabins
Caspia Kelly
I decided to bring Percy and help Blade settle In his cabin before myself. The other Ares kids were obviously resentful, I guess their dad hadn't actually come to the camp for their claiming.
A girl, she said her name was Clarisse La Rue, seemed to be better with him. She got some sheets to put on his bunk and welcomed him. The others glared at him but they probably didn't want to cross Clarisse or Percy.
He settled down and I was a little worried because I thought that they might hurt him while he was sleeping out of jealousy. He must have read this on my face and he smirked. "Don't worry. I'll have a knife under my pillow," he said, loud enough for the others to hear. I didn't think they'd be attacking him tonight.
He pulled me close and kissed me, making sure the others could see. A few whistled. Percy ran over and yanked me off "None of that young lady. It's time for you to go to bed." I huffed. "I'm 15, not 10. And you are NOT my father."
He stiffened, "As long as you live under my roof you live under my rules. And I say you can't make out with boys."
"I DON'T even live in the Poseidon cabin yet. And Chiron's roof not yours. And I saw you making out with Annabeth at the campfire. You had your hands all over her, too, touching-"
"-You're GROUNDED!" I rolled my eyes "Okay." I walked out the door. Percy gave Blade a murderous glare , just make sure he got the message too, and followed me.
Percy seemed to calm down by the time we got to the Poseidon Cabin. It was a long grey building embedded with shells. The inside was surrounded by water. There was a big aquarium instead of walls, that seemed to stretch for miles. It was probably enchanted to hold more things than should fit in it. They were filled with a beautiful coral reef, colorful fish, dolphins, turtles, crabs, seahorses, sharks, and some starfish on the glass ."
At the end, there was a door that probably was for him to be able to go swimming. In the middle, there was 8 4-poster beds with silk sheets. There was a bathroom at the end of the room, which also had fish in it. Why you would want that in there I didn't know.
Percy sat down on one of the beds. "I'm sorry for yelling at you back there. You're not grounded."
I sat next to him. "Thanks."
"It's just... the only family I've had is my mom, and I'm pretty protective of her, too. I hardly ever get to see Poseidon, and it's not like I need to protect Tyson."
"Tyson?" A six foot tall Cyclops came barreling in the room and tackled Percy. "Brother!" I was too overwhelmed with shock that there was a monster in the cabin to even draw my sword. When he let go, he said: "It's not just me anymore, buddy, you have a sister now, too."
He turned his attention towards me. "Sister!" I gasped for breath. "Can't ...breathe..." He released me. Percy winced. "He doesn't know his own strength. He's completely harmless; he's really sweet actually. He's a really good brother. Good backup, too , if you run into Clarisse or something."
"She seemed really nice actually." He stared at me like I just turned into an alien. "Clarisse? Nice? Have you met her?"
"Yeah. She was the only one who welcomed Blade, remember? She kept everyone from hurting him. She was the only one who wasn't mean and jealous of him."
"Pffft, that's probably because her dad is already proud of her. After the battle of Manhatten, he gave her the blessing of Ares, which is really the best thing you can get as a child of war. She got it for slaying a drakon and building an aura of fear. She also got better after she started dating Chris Rodriguez. But believe me, you havn't seen her on her worst days. Be careful around her."
"Okay. I'll keep that in mind. Goodnight."
"Night."
