Chapter 7
Soon we are making our way to the camp and we just passed the volleyball pit. I notice that several of the campers were staring at us but more on Percy. I think they notice the Minotaur horn that was in Percy hands.
"It's them." I heard from one of the campers. I look at the campers and saw that many of them were older and stronger…well stronger than Percy since he was new and all but for me for a guy who had been fighting in the age of 4 and had ton of experience of fighting monsters. It was nothing really special about them except that they have godly blood running down their veins.
I looked back at the farmhouse. It was a lot bigger than I'd realized—four stories tall, sky blue with white trim, like an upscale seaside resort. I was checking out the brass eagle weather vane on top when something caught my eye, a shadow in the uppermost window of the attic gable. Something had moved the curtain, just for a second, and I got the distinct impression I was being watched.
"What's up there?" Percy asked Chiron.
He looked where Percy was pointing, and his smile faded. "Just the attic."
"Somebody lives there?" Percy asked. I would answered his question but decided to keep quiet since I felt only spiritual energy coming from the attic and from the looks on Chiron face he wanted to keep it a secret.
"No," he said with finality. "Not a single living thing."
That's a big fat lie! But then again I'm just keep that opinion for myself.
"Come along, Percy, Arashi," Chiron said, his lighthearted tone now a little forced. "Lots to see."
We walked through the strawberry fields, where campers were picking bushels of berries while a satyr played a tune on a reed pipe.
Chiron told us the camp grew a nice crop for export to New York restaurants and Mount Olympus.
"It pays our expenses," he explained. "And the strawberries take almost no effort."
He said Mr. Dickhead had this effect on fruit-bearing plants: they just went crazy when he was around. It worked best with wine grapes, but Mr. Dickhead was restricted from growing those, so they grew strawberries instead. We watched the satyr playing his pipe. His music was causing lines of bugs to leave the strawberry patch in every direction, like refugees fleeing a fire. I wonder that Grover was good with pipes since I never heard him played with music.
"Grover won't get in too much trouble, will he?" Percy asked Chiron. "I mean ... he was a good protector. Really."
Chiron sighed. He shed his tweed jacket and draped it over his horses back like a saddle. "Grover has big dreams, Percy. Perhaps bigger than are reasonable. To reach his goal, he must first demonstrate great courage by succeeding as a keeper, finding a new camper and bringing him safely to Half-Blood Hill."
"But he did that!" Percy said to Chiron.
"I might agree with you," Chiron said. "But it is not my place to judge. Dionysus and the Council of Cloven Elders must decide. I'm afraid they might not see this assignment as a success. After all, Grover lost you in New York. And the fact that Grover was unconscious when Arashi dragged him over the property line. The council might question whether this shows any courage on Grover's part."
"Then that's a lot of bullshit!" I said to Chiron. Chiron and Percy look at me surprised. "Grover was unconscious when the Minotaur hit him! I bet those old bastards in council won't last a second on the Minotaur!" One of the things that pissed me off is that you insult my friend. Do that and I have my foot break on your ass!
"Arashi!" Chiron scolded me but just rolled my eyes at him. "Don't say its name. Names has power so please be careful."
"Righhhhhht…Then I call every godly son and daughters of the self-proclaim "King of gods" as a born idiots like helium head for the so called god of the sun." I said to Chiron. They look to me at shock along with the campers. Yeah they look at me that I was crazy. Yeah I was crazy enough to openly mock the so called Olympians.
The sky rumble and I just waved it off. Zeus is having his mood swing again.
"Arashi, please choose your words wisely. You are angering them" Chiron pleaded to him. I just rolled my eyes but decided to comply with Chiron demand.
"Fine, Whatever." I said and soon Chiron let out a sigh and there was awkward silence in the atmosphere.
"Um, Chiron" Percy broke the awkward silence as he started to speak. "Grover, he'll get his second chance won't he?" Percy asked.
I saw Chiron wince which is not a good sign. "I'm afraid that was Grover's second chance, Percy. The council was not anxious to give him another, either, after what happened the first time, five years ago. Olympus knows, I advised him to wait longer before trying again. He's still so small for his age..."
"How old is he?" Percy asked. I was also wondering the same thing.
"Oh, twenty-eight." Chiron said and this made Percy and I look at Chiron with a shock look on our face.
"What! And he's in sixth grade?" Percy said. I was just completely speechless in hearing this. Grover is an adult already with 12 year old body! Damn!
"Satyrs mature half as fast as humans, Percy. Grover has been the equivalent of a middle school student for the past six years." Chiron explained. Ouch, that really a pain the ass.
"That's horrible." Percy said.
"Quite," Chiron agreed. "At any rate, Grover is a late bloomer, even by satyr standards, and not yet very accomplished at woodland magic. Alas, he was anxious to pursue his dream. Perhaps now he will find some other career..."
"That's not fair," Percy said. "What happened the first time? Was it really so bad?" I then remembered about what Thalia said to me and grime at those words. Grover failed his first retrieval and Thalia sacrifice her life to save her friends.
Chiron looked away quickly. "Let's move along, shall we? Let's go to the woods"
We arrived at the forest of the camp and it should took up at least quarter of the valley. The trees are very tall and healthy along the fact that I could sense spirits around the area.
"The woods are stocked, if you care to try your luck, but go armed." Chiron said
"Stocked with what?" Percy asked. "Armed with what?"
"You'll see. Capture the flag is Friday night. Do you have your own sword and shield?"
"My own—?"
"No," Chiron said. "I don't suppose you do. I think a size five will do. I'll visit the armory later."
"Chiron, do you expect that Percy here has his own weapons? He just knew that he was demigod a few days ago." I said to him. Chiron nodded in understanding at my words. Soon the tour continues as we saw the archery range, the canoeing lake, the stables, the javelin range, the sing-along amphitheater, and the arena where Chiron said they held sword and spear fights.
"Sword and spear fights?" Percy asked.
"Cabin challenges and all that," he explained. "Not lethal. Usually. Oh, yes, and there's the mess hall."
Chiron pointed to an outdoor pavilion framed in white Grecian columns on a hill overlooking the sea.
There were a dozen stone picnic tables. No roof. No walls.
"What do you do when it rains?" Percy asked.
Chiron looked at Percy as if he gone a little weird. "We still have to eat, don't we?"
Soon Chiron started showing the cabins to Percy but I decided to tell Chiron that I was going to meditate a little which he agreed. Soon I was deeper part of the forest of camp and decided to try out my powers that my dad told me. Soon started to feel a strange energy flowing inside me as I try the energy called chakra. I felt that this energy was easier to control this energy than prana that is used for my magical powers. I decided to try of my dad jutsu that the Uzumaki clan that were famous for. I did a cross sign with my index and mid finger and started to release some my chakra. I just hope that it would work. Even I have zero experience in using chakra. I at least have the knowledge how chakra works thanks to my dad.
"Kage Bushin no Jutsu!" The words came out from my mouth as I felt the energy was released from my body and damn I felt that at least 50% of my energy was gone. Soon a puff of smoke happened. I suddenly found myself facing 3 copies of myself.
My eyes widen in disbelief! "WOAH!" I said as I fell down on my butt as I saw 3 exact replicas of me. I slowly stands up and started to poke one of the clones. I blink and so did the clones.
"Wow, so this what chakra can do?" I said as I stare at the clones.
"Let's not forget the abilities of this move" One of the clones said and this made me look in shock.
"You talked!" I said in shock and one of the clones rolled their eyes.
"Of course we can talk! We have our own thoughts! By the way good try on first attempt of this technique even without any training in using chakra." One of the clones praised me. I just nodded then something click in my mind.
"Wait a minute from what my dad's memories. This technique allows me to gain any of your memories once one of dispelled." I said. Soon a grin appeared on my face and so did my clones.
"You guys thinking what I'm thinking?" I said to clones and the clones nodded at me. The possibilities of this technique is endless. Oh I wish that I knew that I had access to chakra earlier. I would I been saved from the hassle and torture of homework and teaching! But more importantly...
"PRANKING!" We all shouted. Hehe camp will be more interesting now! The amount of chaos I can bring to this camp. BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! The joys of being a prankster. I remember nearly flooding the entire school that involves snakes and frogs. Oh the fun of that!
Soon I came out of the forest and decided to hold any of pranking plans on hold since I need to see how Percy is doing. Soon started to find Percy and found him at cabin eleven with Annabeth who was holding a book.
"Where's Arashi?" I heard Annabeth as I approach them.
"Here, I had to some stuff to do first." I said as I stops in front of them.
"So, what are we going do now?" I asked them.
"I don't know?" Percy said with a shrugged.
"You two, are going to introduce yourselves to this cabin." Annabeth said to us. Percy and I look at each and shrugged. We just decided to go with the flow and do it.
Percy was the first one to enter the cabin and…trip on the door. The campers snickered at this.
"Well, that's a bad start." I muttered under my breath as me and Annabeth enters the cabin as well. I helped Percy get up and soon everyone in the cabin was looking at us.
"Percy, Arashi meet cabin 11" Annabeth said as she introduce us to the cabin.
"Regular or undetermined?" somebody asked.
I just decided to stay quiet and look at everyone. I saw different auras and I saw some were Apollo kids, Aphrodite kids, Ares kids and etc but majority of them were minor gods and goddess kids.
"Undetermined." Annabeth said and everybody groaned.
A guy who was a little older than the rest came forward. "Now, now, campers. That's what we're here for. Welcome, Percy, Arashi. You can have that spot on the floor, right over there." The guy was about nineteen, and he looked pretty cool. He was tall and muscular, with short-cropped sandy hair and a friendly smile. He wore an orange tank top, cutoffs, sandals, and a leather necklace with five different-colored clay beads. The only thing unsettling about his appearance was a thick white scar that ran from just beneath his right eye to his jaw, like an old knife slash.
But this guy aura is malice and it's evil. I don't like it one bit. I need to keep an eye on this dude.
"This is Luke," Annabeth said, and her voice sounded different somehow. I glanced over and saw a blush on her face. Looks like she has crush on this Luke guy. "He's your counselor for now."
"For now?" Percy asked.
"You and your friend are undetermined," Luke explained patiently. "They don't know what cabin to put you in, so you're here. Cabin eleven takes all newcomers, all visitors. Naturally, we would. Hermes, our patron, is the god of travelers."
"Well that explains the kids with different auras from almost everybody." I muttered.
"What do mean by that?" Annabeth said. Crap! She heard me.
"Nothing?" I said. I glance at her and saw that she has narrowed eyes. I look away and decide to ignore it.
I notice that some sullen and suspicious, some grinning stupidly, some eyeing me as if they want to steal something from me. I just smirked and decided to show these wannabe heroes whose boss.
Soon I started to let out a powerful killing intent that I learned from my dad during my time with him. Soon the campers started to have hard time breathing.
"Listen up!" I said with cold tone that made many of them flinch from the tone of my voice. "If you any of have any funny ideas to screw with me" Soon I let out a chuckle and summon the gun from my pocket dimension and pointed at one of the older campers that scare the shit out him. "Let's just say…I blow your heads off. Got it?" I said with scary tone. Soon everyone nodded at me rapidly that could have snap their head off. I finally stop the killing intent that made everyone to get back their breathing. I look at Percy and saw that he was looking at me scared look on his face along with Annabeth.
"D-D-Dude, what was that?" Percy stuttered and I just let out a sigh and place a hand on his shoulder which made him flinch but I decided to ignore it.
"I'm just making a statement Percy. I'm showing them they can't mess with me unless they want their head missing. So in short I just scared the shit out of them." I said casually.
"Well you really did scare them. Hell you even scared me." Luke said with a chuckle.
"It comes with an experience of fighting a monster in age of 4." I said to them. I saw the shock look on their faces while I saw Luke eyes narrowed. The look on his face looks like that he was analyzing me. I just decided to remove that thought from my head.
"How long will I be here?" Percy asked.
"Good question," Luke said. "Until you're determined."
"How long will that take?"
The campers all laughed and I just decided to ignore them and keep looking at campers as I study each aura to know which god or goddess they belong to.
"Come on," Annabeth suddenly said as I snapped out from my thoughts. "I'll show you two the volleyball court."
"I've already seen it." Percy said to her.
"Come on." She said as grabbed my wrist along with Percy and dragged us outside. I could hear the kids of cabin eleven laughing behind us.
"WHEN I GET BACK I BLOW YOUR HEADS OFF!" I threaten them. They stop laughing and I just smirked and mentally laugh at their scared look on their faces. The look on their face is priceless. I wish I had a camera.
When we were a few feet away, Annabeth said, "Jackson, you have to do better than that."
"What?" Percy said.
She rolled her eyes and mumbled under her breath, "I can't believe I thought you were the one."
"What's your problem?" Percy was getting angry now. "All I know is, I kill some bull guy—"
"Don't talk like that!" Annabeth told me. "You know how many kids at this camp wish they'd had your chance?"
"To get killed?" Percy said.
"To fight the Minotaur! What do you think we train for?"
"So in short you guys are trained to kill monsters or die trying? Wow that's stupid and this comes from a daughter of Athena." I said with as raised brow. Wow this girl has a big mouth. I feel that I will I have a nagging sister if I ever been claimed by my bitch mother.
I saw glare at me and I just shrugged in response. "Hey, you had your chance to help us beat that stupid bullman but you decide to stand on the side line. So I would say that it's your own fault you lost your chance to fight it." I said casually. I saw that Annabeth continues to glare at me which I totally ignored.
"Look" Percy suddenly cuts in and got our attention "if the thing we fought really was the Minotaur, the same one in the stories ..."
"Yes." Annabeth said.
"Then there's only one."
"Yes."
"And he died, like, a gajillion years ago, right? Theseus killed him in the labyrinth. So ..."
"Monsters don't die, Percy. They can be killed. But they don't die." I said to Percy. Two looks at me as I continued "They don't have souls, like you and me. You can dispel them for a while, maybe even for a whole lifetime if you're lucky. But they are primal forces. Chiron calls them archetypes. Eventually, they reform."
"You mean if I killed one, accidentally, with a sword—"
"The Fur ... I mean, your math teacher. That's right. She's still out there. You just made her very, very mad." Annabeth said as she cuts Percy off.
"How did you know about Mrs. Dodds?" Percy said as he looks at Annabeth in suprise.
"You talk in your sleep." Annabeth said. I look at her with blank look.
"…So you were watching Percy the whole time?" I asked. Annabeth just looks away from me and I let out a chuckle and place my arm over Percy. "Yo Perce. I think this girl has a crush on you." I said while grinning like an idiot. I saw Percy blush while Annabeth looks back at me with irritated look on her face.
"W-W-What" Percy stuttered. Yeah, this is so going to be fun.
"You know puppy love. This little girl Annabeth right has a major-ACK" I was cut off when Annabeth throws a rock at me and knocking me down to the ground. Okay, that was rude. I rubbed my forehead to where Annabeth hit me with a rock. I look at her and she was glaring at me trying to scare me off but kinda ruin with blush on her face.
"You didn't have to hit me you know. You got no sense you humor girl." I said to her as I stand up.
"Just shut it." Annabeth growled at me. I mentally laugh on how I easily pissed off this girl.
"You almost called her something. A Fury? They're Hades' torturers, right?" Percy suddenly said. Annabeth glanced nervously at the ground, as if she expected it to open up and swallow her that made my eyes roll at the girl being paranoid.
"You shouldn't call them by name, even here. We call them the Kindly Ones, if we have to speak of them at all." Annabeth said to Percy. Yeah like I'm gonna believe that shit.
"Look, is there anything we can say without it thundering?" Percy said as he sounded whiny child. "Why do I have to stay in cabin eleven, anyway? Why is everybody so crowded together? There are plenty of empty bunks right over there." I pointed to the first few cabins. I saw that Annabeth turned paled and was about to explain but I beat her.
"Um, Perce. I don't think that it's simple. From what my dad told me. You can't stay any of that cabins unless you have permission from the god or goddess of the cabin. It depends on who your parents are. Or ... your parent."
"Arashi you alright know my mom right? Sally Jackson" Percy said. "She works at the candy store in Grand Central Station. At least, she used to."
"Percy, what Arashi means is other your parents in short your dad." Annabeth said.
"He's dead. I never knew him." Percy said to her.
Annabeth sighed. Clearly, she'd had this conversation before with other kids. "Your father's not dead, Percy."
"How can you say that? You know him?" Percy asked with confuse look on his face. I decided to keep quiet for now.
"No, of course not."
"Then how can you say—"
"Because I know you. You wouldn't be here if you weren't one of us."
"You don't know anything about me."
"Percy what Annabeth means that your father is a god. You know the ones that Chiron told us. About the Greek mythology." I said to Percy.
"You're kidding…right?" Percy asked and with a pleaded look that was joking around but sadly I was not. Sorry Perce but this what the reality of life.
"He's telling the truth Percy. You are a half-blood or known as Demigod. Half-mortal and half god." Annabeth said to him.
"That's…crazy" Percy said. The world is crazy and being a demigod just makes it crazier.
"Percy, think about it. You been attack by a Fury then being attacked by a Minotaur. So its better you accept it. If you continue being in denial it could kill you." I said to Percy. Repeating some of the words that my dad said to me about monsters and the gods being real. it really helped me in explaining to other demigods.
"How can you tell that I'm demigod anyway?" Percy suddenly asked. Looks like his ADHD is kicking in again. I'm just thankful that I learn a spell from Hecate in controlling those shits in being a demigod.
"Diagnosed with dyslexia. Probably ADHD, too." Annabeth said.
"What does that have to do with anything?"
"Taken together, it's almost a sure sign. The letters float off the page when you read, right? That's because your mind is hardwired for ancient Greek. And the ADHD—you're impulsive, can't sit still in the classroom. That's your battle field reflexes. In a real fight, they'd keep you alive. As for the attention problems, that's because you see too much, Percy, not too little. Your senses are better than a regular mortal's. Of course the teachers want you medicated. Most of them are monsters. They don't want you seeing them for what they are." Annabeth explained. Leave it to Athena children for being book smart. I wonder if she's any street smart seeing that she more of a book head like our bitch mother.
"You sound like ... you went through the same thing?" Percy said.
"Most of the kids here did. If you weren't like us, you couldn't have survived the Minotaur, much less the ambrosia and nectar." Annabeth said.
"Ambrosia and nectar?" Percy asked.
"The food and drink we were giving you to make you better. That stuff would've killed a normal kid. It would've turned your blood to fire and your bones to sand and you'd be dead. Face it. You're a half-blood." Annabeth said. Okay she's started to sound like Athena which is very annoying. Even I never met my bitch mother. I can already tell that I would lose a lot screws if I ever talk to that damn woman.
"Well a newbie!" A voice said. We turn to where that voice came from and saw Clarisse aka War girl along with two of her half-siblings.
"Clarisse," Annabeth sighed. "Why don't you go polish your spear or something?"
"Sure, Miss Princess," Clarisse said. "So I can run you through with it Friday night."
"Erre es korakas!" Annabeth said, which in Greek was 'Go to the crows!' which was not much of insult in my opinion. "You don't stand a chance."
"We'll pulverize you," Clarisse said, but her eye twitched. Perhaps she wasn't sure she could follow through on the threat. She turned toward me. I let out a smirked.
"Hello war girl. Still pissed that I judo flip and pointed a gun in your head." I said as I taunted her. She let out a growl.
"You only caught me off guard. Next time I beat the crap out of you." Clarisse said.
"That's a stupid excuse you know. You're daughter of the war head. You should always be on guard." I said with matter of fact tone. Being a child soldier you should be always be alert. I was trained by my dad in always being alert in my surrounding after being attack by a hellhound and with a very mature mind. I could say that I'm child soldier even I didn't really gone to a war since my dad trained me like one.
Clarisse just let out growl that I ignored and looks at Percy. "Who's this little runt?"
"Percy Jackson," Naruto said, "meets Clarisse, Daughter of Ares."
Percy blinked. "Like ... The war-god?"
Clarisse sneered. "You got a problem with that?"
"No," Percy said. "It explains the bad smell." I mentally facepalm at Percy words. He really needs to keep his mouth shut or he'll get kill.
Clarisse growled. "We got an initiation ceremony for newbies, Prissy."
"Percy." Percy corrected her.
"Whatever. Come on, I'll show you."
"Clarisse—" Annabeth tried to say.
"Stay out of it, wise girl." Before Percy does anything, Clarisse held him by the neck and started dragging him toward the bathroom.
He dropped his Minotaur horn. Annabeth picked it up. She turned toward Arashi and asked, "Arashi, you—"
"Save it...Percy is not a kid. He can handle himself besides he really needs to learn in controlling his mouths of his. He will get kill if continues that" I said. Hopefully this would make Percy learn to control his mouth of his.
We followed them and stood in the corner as we watch Clarisse and her half-siblings attempting to dunk Percy head to the toilet. Percy was kicking and punching. But it was useless it obvious that Clarisse has more raw power than Percy.
Clarisse bent Percy over on his knees and started pushing his head toward the toilet bowl.
I suddenly felt Percy's energy was about to be unleash. "Well, well this is going to be one hell of a mess." I said.
"What?" Annabeth asked clearly that she doesn't know what was going to happen. I mentally chanted a spell and place a barrier around me to protect myself from whatever disaster that is going to happen.
Then we heard the plumbing rumble, the pipes shudder.
Clarisse's grip on Percy hair loosened. Water shot out of the toilet, making an arc straight over his head, and he sprawled on the bathroom tiles with Clarisse was screaming behind him.
Percy turned just as water blasted out of the toilet again, hitting Clarisse straight in the face so hard it pushed her down onto her butt. She struggled, gasping, and her friends started coming toward her. But then the other toilets exploded, too, and six more streams of toilet water blasted them back. The showers acted up, too, and together all the fixtures sprayed the camouflage girls right out of the bathroom, spinning them around like pieces of garbage being washed away.
As soon as they were out the door, the water shut off as quickly as it had started. The entire bathroom flooded.
I look at Annabeth saw that she was dripping wet along with Clarisse and her friends. I was completely surprised at how powerful Percy power was. Percy has a long way in becoming a strong demigod.
Annabeth said, "How did you ..."
"I don't know." Percy said. That look on his face that he was confuse and was trying to figure out what just happened
We walked to the door. Outside, Clarisse and her friends sprawled in the mud, and a bunch of other campers had gathered around to gawk. Clarisse's hair flattened across her face. Her camouflage jacket was sopping and she smelled like sewage. She gave Percy a look of absolute hatred.
"You are dead, new boy. You are totally dead," Clarisse growled at Percy.
"You want to gar—" Before Percy could say anything, I put a hand on his mouth.
"Shut up, Percy, you need to keep your mouth shut!" I said. "Keep it up and you'll get yourself killed." I looked at Clarisse. I saw her friends were holding her.
"Clarisse." I called She looked at me. I immediately chanted some spell and said. "Sleep" Soon Clarisse was unconscious. "Takes her to your cabin. We don't want another mess." I said to her friends. The two nodded and took her towards cabin five. I removed my hand on Percy's mouth.
"You really need to control that mouth of yours Percy. I swear if don't start controlling what you say. I'm gonna tell your mom when she wakes up." I said to him. If there's one thing that scares Percy most is his mother. I saw Percy turned paled and nodded at his head. We turned to Annabeth and saw that she was staring at us.
"What?" Percy demanded. "What are you thinking?"
"I'm thinking," She said, "that I want both of you on my team to capture the flag." Great. I feel like a raging shit storm is coming and it's not a good thing.
