Lydia's POV
After everyone went to their own tables I got stuck at the Hermes table with Evan. Not to be mean but have you ever sat at the Hermes table? It's like being squished into poultry. I had no room, I needed my space. But at least I wasn't sitting on the side or else I would and fallen off the bench. Then when I was finally going to take a bite out of my pizza Evan just had to but in. "Hey we have to first make an offering to the gods." "What's that?" "It's when we take our food and offer it to the gods."
Then he took my hand and we headed towards the fire. It was only a matter of time that my pizza was burn to ashes. Why me. After the devastating death of my pizza we sat down again. "Hey Lydia how do you like camp so far?" said one of Evan's siblings I think her name was Myra. "It's been great I guess but I still miss home." "Well it'll be better soon." "So Lydia," a boy asked next to me. "Do you have a boyfriend?" That took me by surprise. " Jacob!", Evan yelled. "Well shouldn't we know if this beauty has a BF?" he said with a smile. "No I don't have a boyfriend." "Good to know." Okay? "So Lydia you want to come with me to the camp fire tonight? It'll be fun." he said with a wink. Hell no! "Sorry but I'm feeling tired so I'm just going to bed." I said starting to get up. When I started walking away I could hear them talking about me. "Dude you scared her away." "Hey it' not my fault that mostly every guy would want a piece of that."
As I left I wondered into the woods. I pretty sure I'm not supposed to be here alone without a weapon at night. But I started walking even further into the woods because I always felt a connection being out here during the night with the moon out. I felt relaxed lying down beneath the stars. Before I knew it I drifted off to sleep.
I woke up to the sound of ruffling leaves. It felt so cold outside I didn't have a jacket on. I couldn't believe I fell asleep here. Oh my god I have to get back before people freak out that I got kidnapped or died. But it was still dark so I couldn't really see which way I came from. Just as I started walking I heard a snap of a twig. Then I heard them. "There is no escape demigod." Furies. I started running but I didn't get that far until the grabbed me and lifted me up in the air. "You think you can out run us?" one said. "Pathetic.", another one said. "We will have you killed." said the other one.
Right then I knew I was in trouble without any weapon I was a goner. So I did the only thing I could do. I started screaming from the top of my lungs. Praying that someone might of heard me. "Shut up.", said one of the furies. Then I started kicking and hitting at the fury that was holding me in place. I finally got it to release but I drop out of the sky and landed on my leg. The pain was horrible. I couldn't stand up right. Then I realized they were coming back. I knew I had to move quick. Then I heard this faint voice. "Use your surroundings for help my darling."
Then I got an idea. I found a log to use for swinging. Just as one of the furies could grab me I swung as hard as I could and it knocked the fury to the ground. But it wouldn't take long before it got up and I still had to worry about the other two. "Foolish demigod you cannot kill us with that stupid log." I didn't care if it killed them or not I just needed time to get back at camp for help. Just as I started to move away another fury swooped down right in front of me. "You cannot win." one said. Before I could take a swing at the fury the third one took the log out of my hands and broke it in half. I am so toast.
Then I saw a spear go right through the fury in front of me and turn into dust. I look to see where it came from and I saw a boy. It was Zane. He ran closer to the other fury and started to fight it and finally stabbed it. "Are you okay Lydia?" "Yea… Zane! Behind you!" Then came the fury that I knocked out with my log.
I knew Zane had it under control but I at least wanted to help him. "Give me the girl and you can walk freely away," said the fury. "In your dreams." With that Zane stabbed the last fury in the chest and there was only dust left. "Lydia are there any more monsters?" asked Zane. "No that was all of them." Then he came toward me and leaned down to the ground where I was sitting. "Come on Lydia we have to get back at camp and tell Chiron." Just as he started helping me up I felt a pain shoot through my body. And I fell back down. I couldn't move and I couldn't keep my eyes open because the pain was so intense. "Lydia what's wrong?" Zane said. It almost seemed like he was worried.
"The Furies… To keep me and lifted me up in the air… and drop me… and I fell on my leg." "Can you get up." "No I..." but I didn't finish that sentence because everything went black.
When I woke up I had pain on my right leg. Oh yea. I got attack by stupid furies. Then I realized I was in the infirmary. "Glad your awake Lydia," said a voice. I turned around to say were that voice came from and I saw Chiron and Evan. "I… We were worried. Where you went after dinner?" asked Evan. "I just went for a walk. God my leg hurts," I said holding my leg still even though it won't stop the pain. "How did I get here any ways?" "Well, Zane brought you in." What? Zane brought me in? "Yea he told us what happened, you were attacked by some furies and dropped out of the sky and landed on your leg. It's a good thing that you weren't so high up."
Then he pulled something out of the drawer. "Here," he says handing me some ambrosia. "Your leg won't heal with the ambrosia so we are going to have to put a cast on it for a while," Oh great. "I hope you feel better Lydia but I must go now," says Chiron. "Alright see yeah later." Then it was just me and Evan. "So…" I say. "You know Lydia I was really worried about you," says Evan. It almost sounded as if he really cared. Like he really cared. "If it wasn't for Zane you could have been dead," "Yea I know," I say with a sigh. "So when do I get my cast on?" "I don't know but I'll get one of the Apollo campers to get on that right now." And with that he left.
Evan's POV
As I left Lydia I couldn't stop thinking about her. I don't know but I feel something towards her. Like I need to protect her.
