Chapter 10
I groaned and opened the door to the Aphrodite cabin and smirked, there was make up everywhere. I sighed realising that meant we had to clean everything. I walked to the center of the room and grabbed a bucket of water and a rag, I made my way to the other side of the cabin and began to clean the wall.
"Nice going Connor you dragged us down with you." I glared at my brother and tossed him a rag.
"Whatever dude just help clean up." Arielle came and stood by Travis and they both glarred at me.
"Ya I have to admit that was an awesome prank but you dragged us into it." I rolled my eyes and turned back to the wall.
"You know if you don't complain it'll go alot faster." I grumbled, I didn't know if that was true I just couldn't really take this much complaining. Arielle rolled her eyes and punched me in the arm.
"Hey you made all of us have to spend our day in the Aphrodite cabin cleaning up your mess, we have a right to complain as much as we want to." I rolled my eyes and went beack to cleaning. After a couple of minutes of silence I heard gigiling coming from behind me, I turned around looking around the cabin. Justin, Nico, Leo and Jason were on the other side of the cabin cleaning makeup off of all of the beds. I looked at the girls they were smiling and talking, then Jessica turned and waved at me. I starred at them suspiciously, I know something is going on. I shrugged and went back to cleaning. I heard giggling again but just shrugged it off, SPLASH. I looked up I was soked I turned around and Piper, Harper and Jessica were standing in front of us all carryiong an empty bucket. I looked over to Arielle and Travis they were soked as well.
"WHAT WAS THAT FOR?" We all yelled at the same time. The girls laughed and looked at us. Harper looked at us.
"That was for pranking the Aphrodite cabin." I rolled my eyes, how could one little prank cause this much trouble? I just stood and watched everyone around me bicker. Out of the corner of my eye I saw something moving. I turned and saw the guys on the other side of the room slowly sneaking towards the exit. I know I could have blown their cover but I kinda wanted them to make it out. I smiled and looked back at the group in front of me. They were all still fighting, then something occured to me, Jessica was gone. I shrugged and looked back at the exscaping guys. Nico reached his hand out and grabbed the door handle. Standing in the door frame leaning against the side was Jessica.
"Hello. Where are you guys going?" Nico stepped back and tripped over Justins foot.
"Whoa. Oww. " Nico sat up glarring at his half sister. "How did you do that?" Jessica stared at Nico rolling her eyes.
"Nico really?" She laughed and stuck a hand out to him. "Shadow travling." Jessica looked at him as if to say, Well duh. Nico blushed and stood up again.
"Oh ya." Everyone rolled their eyes. Justin looked at Jessica and smiled slightly.
"This means we have to go clean up again doesn't it?" Jessica nodded. The guys sighed and began to walk back over to the wall they were cleaning. Leo smiled and stayed were he was.
"No." Jessica turned around glaring at Leo.
"What?" Jessica stepped forward so she was nose to nose with Leo. Jessica lifted up the bucket she was carrying and plopped it on Leos head, then she took her dagger out from it's place at her side. IS SHE GOING TO STAB HIM? Jessica brought her dagger up and smacked the side of the metal bucket on Leo's head. Smoke began to appear from the bottom of the pail as Leo ripped it off his head and threw it to the floor. Jessica glared at Leo smirking.
"I think we've come to an agreement Valdez?" Leo sighed picking up a rag and walking over to the rest of the guys. He walked up to Nico, who was laughing, and smacked him in the back of the head. The whole cabin looked at Jessica obviously just as shocked as I was. Jessica smiled slightly and looked around. "What?" She asked I rolled my eyes and went back to cleaning. After a few hours of cleaning everyone was sitting in a circle obviously exausted. I looked around and sighed.
"Well now that the cabin is clean everyone should be coming back soon, so we should go somewhere else. Where do you guys wanna go?" Nico and Jessica starred at each other and nodded.
"We could go to our cabin." Jessica said. Everyone looked at her and shook their heads.
"Uh your cabin gives me the creeps." I looked at Arielle and nodded in agreement. I sighed
"Oh hey why don't we go to the beach?" That way we don't have to go to anyones cabin or bother anyone. Everyone nodded so we all headed out the door and down to long island beach. I sighed and sat down.
"So what should we do?" Everyone looked at me and shrugged.
"Are you kidding me?" Everyone looked at Jessica who was looking down at her side where her dagger was supposed to be. Arielle and Harper looked T her.
What's the matter? They asked together. Jessica sighed and looked at Leo.
"I left my dagger in the Aphrodite cabin when I hit Leo in the head." Jessica stood up gesturing towards Arielle and Harper to come too. Arielle glared at Justin, he sighed and stood up and began to follow the other new campers. I smiled and turned to Nico and Jason.
"So how are the new siblings?" Jason and Nico looked at each other and shrugged. I rolled my eyes and we spent the next five minutes just sitting in the sand waiting for the girls and Justin to come back. I heard someone walking in the sand behind me I turned around and saw a blonde haired girl with grey eyes heading towards us.
"Annabeth?" Piper stood up and smiled at Annabeth. Annabeth gave her a small smile and then sat down beside Nico in the sand.
"So Annabeth what's up?" The Athena girl sighed and looked at me and sighed.
"Well I was looking for Percy but I didn't find anything helpful." I sighed Annabeth has been spending less and less time in the camp every since Percy had gone missing. Annabeth began to tell us about where she has been and what type of monsters she had meet when my mind wander off and I thought about why the girls and Justin were taking so long.
Jessica's POV
I sighed grabbing my dagger off the floor and returning to my friends.
"Well we can go now." Arielle and Harper smiled and turned towards the front door.
"hey where's Justin?" Arielle forwned while looking around the cabin. I smiled and pointed behind her Arielle turned around and frowned. Justin was running back towards the beach. Arielle rolled her eyes and we began to follow. When we finally made it to the beach Justin was sitting a couple feet away from the others.
"Hey Justin why are you so far away from them?" Arielle pointed over her shoulder to the group. Justin was to out of breath to talk so he just pointed at the group. I looked over and saw another girl sitting with everyone else, someone I don't remember seeing before. I shrugged and took a step forward with everyone else following.
"Well I guess we'll just go see who that is." I smiled and walked towards them. "Hey guys!" I waved and noticed the girl sitting next to Nico tense. I had a feeling I knew her but I just couldn't remember. The girl pulled out a dagger and ran towards us. The girl pointed the dagger t Justin and glared at us.
"Who are you?" I smiled slightly, well now I know who it is. It's Annabeth, I sighed and glared at Nico who was laughing. The boys stood up and walke dover to Annabeth.
"Hey Annabeth don't kill the new campers." Travis smiled and put a hand on her shoulder trying to calm her down. Annabeth turned to Travis in shock.
"WHAT NEW CAMPERS?" I smiled and said hello. I guess it's time to introduce our selves.
