As usual this is Rick Riordan I own the OCs.
Monica POV:
We were flying through the air, on our way to camp. Honestly I really didn't want to go there. I have powers that in afraid to expose others to, and I couldn't bare to hurt anyone important. My gaze fell on James. We have known each other for a few years and I've tried to protect him from the truth. I had failed, but I can feel his aura emanating off him and I knew he would be ok, despite the monsters that he's going to draw in. I reached down to the saddlebag that held a 5-foot long package. The Leviathan tooth he shot off. How is it possible that his first monster is a freaking Leviathan? My first was just a hellhound that I blasted. He climbed on it and stabbed it in the face!
I'll tell him later. I concluded, placing the tooth back in the package. With some work it would make an amazing sword considering leviathan teeth are incredibly sharp.
"We are home!" Percy called out from the front.
We began to descend and James stirred in his sleep. I reached forward to shake him and his eyes snapped open. He looked around quickly and I noticed he was sweating.
"Hey," I said wrapping my arms around his waist. "You ok?"
His eyes widened and I saw something I never thought I would see in his eyes. Fear. He closed his eyes and when they opened again it was gone, replaced by the same grim, confident glimmer that is usually there.
"Yeah, why?" He lied. I knew the truth though. Demi-god dreams. They sucked. If he was having them, then something bad was going to happen soon.
"Liar." I laughed, so he thought I was joking, but I was going to find out what that dream was.
He shrugged it off and looked ahead. That's when camp came into view. My eyes widened. It was nothing like what I thought it was like. I had imagined old structures and a big training field. What I got was strawberry fields, a lake, and a beach overlooking Long Island sound. What really caught my eye was the assortment of odd buildings. A whole bunch of different styled buildings.
"Cabins," Annabeth said, seeing where I was looking. "Each one represents a god or goddess. Most of them are additions after the Titan War because of Percy's wish."
I nodded in understanding, and then I saw a centaur and two kids in armor waiting for us. As we landed James and I jumped off our Pegasus and stepped forward with Joe. Percy and Annabeth walked in front of us.
"Chiron," Percy said, bowing slightly. James, Joe, and I decided to follow suit. "These are the half-bloods."
"Ah, it is good to finally meet you two. And welcome back Joe, it has been some time, hasn't it?" He said, shaking our hands.
"It's an honor, sir." James said, " Are you the Chiron?"
"That is one question everybody asks," he said laughing. "Yes, and I am immortal."
James mouthed "immortal". "How do you know Joe?"
"He was here a few summers ago, I never forget a face." Chiron laughed good-naturedly.
Then the camper in armor interrupted. "Should I show them to where they are staying?"
"Yes, Monica, you are a daughter of Hecate?" He said looking at me. I nodded in response. "Clarisse, take her there to meet her siblings before dinner. Robbie, take James to the Hermes cabin for now, I'm sure he will be claimed soon. And Joe, come with me."
We each went out separate ways, reluctantly, but still left each other. As we walked I saw Annabeth and Percy talking by the Pegasi, it almost looked like an argument. I turned my attention away and looked at my guide. She had stringy brown hair and brown eyes with a cruel complexion.
"Clarisse La Rue, daughter of Ares by the way." She said shaking my hand. "Well this is your cabin, if you have questions ask Lou Ellen, your counselor." With that she turned and walked away, leaving me alone at the door.
The cabin was built out of boulders. On closer inspection I saw that each stone had an engraving on it in ancient Greek. I felt the magic emanating from each stone, some stronger than others. I heard the chatter of kids on the inside and sighed. I twisted the handle and slowly pushed open the door. Six kids lounged around inside. Four of them were idly talking. One of them, a girl with a blonde pixie cut, lounged on a bed reading a book that was levitating in front of her. The other kid looked like her twin, was sitting with her back against the wall holding an ethereal ball of light in her hand. Then I noticed something weird. Each one of them had black cloth wrapped around their right arm from their wrist to their elbow. As they saw me their activities ceased and they stood up and walked to me. A tall girl with curly black hair and pitch black eyes stood toe to toe with me.
"Where are your markings?" She asked.
"What?" I asked.
"Your markings." She pointed to my right arm. "You don't have them."
"I'm sorry, I don't know what you mean."
She sighed and unwound the wrapping on her arm. The rest of the cabin followed suite. On each of there forearms, starting at the elbow and ending at the wrist was a variety on black marks, like tattoos. The black haired girl had markings like fire. The twin girls had marks like grass being blown by the wind. A boy with short brown hair had marks like rays of light. The last two boys had red hair and marks like mist.
"Without marks you cant be a true child of Hecate." And with that she made a ball of fire in her hands and blasted me out the door. I hit the ground hard and rolled a few feet. My sweater was smoking and charred, but I was fine. I stood and conjured a sword in my right hand and a ball of energy in my other.
"Is this how you want to play it?" I shouted. A shot the smoking ball at one of the red haired boys, but he materialized a shield in front of him. The ball of energy blasted through his shield and sent him flying. The black haired girl who I figured was Lou Ellen stepped forward, fire in one hand and lightning in the other. She fired both at me but it dissipated against a shield I conjured.
"That's impossible..." She muttered. She wasn't able to say anymore because i conjured a ball of energy and slammed it into her chest. The boy with brown hair caught her as the blondes stepped forward. Instantly copies of them, hundreds of them, surrounded me. I raised my hands I floated a few feet into the air. I felt power, power like I have never felt before. I looked down and I saw that white swirls, not black ones, were glowing on my arms. I took a closer look and saw that they were actually swirls all over my body, shining through my clothes. The wind whipped around me and forced my half siblings to the ground. Power surged through me and the light was nearly blinding. Bolts of energy fired from me and carved trenches in the ground.
"Stop!" They begged. But I was on a roll. I shot arcs of energy at them and they flew through the air like ragdolls. Then a seventh camper stepped out of the cabin. She had flowing blonde hair with bright green eyes. Her forearm was covered in marks like waves. She raised her hand and a green light shown everywhere. I instantly felt calm. I slowly descended to the ground and ceased the power surge. As I hit the ground I collapsed and blacked out.
You know you want to review after this.
Flames- destruction
Grass- illusion
Mist- creation
Light- healing
Waves- persuasion, bending wills.
