Caroline

After a day of riding a pegasus and learning that the gods actually existed I felt like I could pass out. But we just kept moving, we went to the forge and met this nice boy, Leo. He was so funny. When he lit his hand on fire I sort-of freaked out but calmed down after he told me why. I told them I wanted to go for a walk. Now believe me I can be very quiet when I want to. I walked into the woods totally forgetting that that boy, Jason, was still in there. I was just walking around when I saw a boy sitting next to a tree. As I approached I guess he heard me and he stood up. The air crackled with electricity. He glared at me.

"Who are you? I don't remember you." He asked.

"How about you tell me your name first and who your godly parent is then I will tell you mine."

"My name is Jason, son of Jupiter. And yours?"

"My name is Carly. No, it's not short for anything. I don't know who my parent is but I hope to find out soon. Is Jupiter the roman Zeus"

" Yes, nice to meet you. Why did you come out here? Did Chiron ask you to come out here?"

"Who's Chiron and no, no one asked me to come out. I wanted some fresh air. Is Chiron that horse I set on fire a few hours ago?"

"Yeah. Maybe I could actually make a friend here. I had a little outburst yeasterday, but I didn't feel like it was me. I felt like some one else was really mad in my body. It was so strange. But, come and sit then." He suddenly seemed relaxed. He wasn't as tense and he was calm. "Do you know Percy? He almost killed me"

"I don't think Percy would ever do that on purpose. He seems nice. He did bring me here after all."

"Then you must be on his good side. Me not so much. I sort of almost killed him myself so we're even. I gonna go back to camp soon. I just needed to clear my mind. Hopefully I won't electrocute anyone when I go back."

"I'll head back with you. Just, please don't kill me." I told him. He actually laughed. He had seemed so serious but now he seems like an actual boy.

"Don't worry. Come on. I know a short-cut to get to the big house. I think Chiron would like to yell at me." We both laughed at that remark.

"Sure." We began heading back. His way actually was shorter. We ended up on the back porch of the big house. We laughed all the way there. He was actually really funny and nice, I can't believe Chiron wanted to lock him up. I guess he could be a little mean. But that's before you know him. When we got there me and Jason were cracking up. When we walked in I suddenly felt really self-conscious, everyone was looking at me. They immediately stood up and tried to go to their weapons.

"Guys it's okay, it's just me and Jason." I turned to him. " You are so right, their faces are so priceless."

"I told you." He began to walk over to Chiron, who immediately stiffened. "I'm sorry for the way I acted earlier. Can you forgive me?"

"I guess." Chiron said, a little confused. Me and Jason cracked up.

"Sorry." We said in unison. That just made us laugh more. We both took a seat on the couch cracking up. Everyone looked at me like I was crazy.

"Okay. Come on we have to stop. Ready serious face." We both suddenly looked at each other with serious faces and laughed again. This time even kids at the ping pong table were trying to stifle laughs.

"Jason, where have you been? We have been looking everywhere for you." Chiron asked.

"Out in the woods." He responded. By now we had calmed down.

"And you Caroline-" I immediately screamed at him.

"Don't ever call me that!"

"Okay, Carly, we were just discussing how to find Jason but since you have found him we don't have to worry about that threat for now. I am happy we found him and all but you were told specifically to not go into the woods."

"You can't tell me what or what not to do. I could burn you to ashes in literally five seconds. Anyways isn't it a free country?" I stated back to him. I high fived Jason and we smiled at each other.

"Next topic of conversation." Chiron said through gritted teeth, " The Roman Camp. We have to find where they are." Jason was immediately on guard. "I think that Percy should lead this quest. Any objections?"

"What a shock." A girl muttered. She looked sort-of mean and disastrous. Like she was out to kill.

"Do you have a better suggestion Clarisse?" Chiron asked

"I actually do. why don't we let that idiotic new girl lead it."

"Are you talking about me?" I asked.

"Is there any other new girl who pretty much asked to be killed?" she asked like I was an idiot. I so wanted to set her on fire.

"Carly don't." Chiron ordered, " Clarisse I wouldn't talk like that to her. She can be, how should I say it? Touchy."

"What could she do to me? She looks so weak."

"Bad thing to say." Chiron muttered. My hair set fire and I lifted my hand and shot a fireball straight at her. She screamed and ducked for cover, so did Annabeth, Percy, Piper, Leo, and Chiron. The others were too late to realize what happened. The ping pong table set fire. Leo came straight over to me while Percy sprayed the ping pong table with water to take out the fire. Jason just sat there amazed that I could do that.

"Calm down." Leo put his hand on my shoulder. "Just breathe. Clarisse has a strange sense of humor." He said, glaring at Clarisse.

"Okay. I'm fine." I said.

" I would believe you more if your eyes weren't balls of fire." He said. I laughed and immediately my hair settled down and my eyes went back to normal. Everyone looked at me like I was a freak.

"And I thought that Jason was irritable." Clarisse muttered.
