Demigod Stars 4

Carmen's POV

I know. It sounds crazy. I imagined, when I asked Annabeth, a 7-year-old girl, me, swinging a 2 ½ foot sword around, slaying anything that got in harms way. I smirked at the thought, but continued my raveling on how everybody else got a sword, knife, or dagger, or something of that sort, all of their own choice. Apparently, according to everyone at this camp, and including all my life's information, I'm a demigod. Sigh.

Annabeths' eyes widened, I'm not really exactly sure, but hey, opinions are opinions. She sputtered out her sentence, and I finally made it out. " Carmen, I'm sure I can get you a weapon of some sort, but here lets compromise." she said while thinking deeply. What's she talking about?

Annabeth's POV

Great. Here comes the great compromise. I can already tell this is going to be the chink in the armor… Ehh, I'll give it a shot. What's an Athena kid for, if it's not this?

" Compromising, hmmmmmm, ah, here we go!" I muttered. "What?" Carmen asked being the curious person she happens to be. " I want to see what you can do, with a weapon." I said, thinking through my idea carefully. " Percy, you remember who he is, right?" I asked once more. She nodded, and I continued to explain. " Percy, and I, of course, will let you test out all the weapons Camp-Half Blood owns, and we'll see which one suits you the best. Once that's settled, we both will train you, and once you turn 8, which I believe to be next year, if your all prepared, then, you can be known as the youngest warrior to ever live, or in other words, you will be allowed to participate in duels, spars, and battles, unless, we forbid you to, deal?" I asked gasping for breath.

Carmen was still in the middle of processing all my words, until, a minute later, she nodded in agreement. " Yes yes yes yes yes! " I've always wanted to spar!" she said excitedly. I nodded in agreement, noticing that I was smiling. " Ok, we'll start in 2 weeks, Percy will be out of the infirmary in 1 week, and through all this time, I'm going to teach you all the moves, weapons, techniques, and the in and outs of Camp Half-Blood." I said excitedly. I got up, and took her hand in my hand, and explained to her that we would meet in the dining pavilion after breakfast and start. " Now, lets get to the dining pavilion for dinner, then we'll set up your bunk and all that stuff," I said while guiding her outside to the pavilion where people were already starting to gather for dinner. Smiling, we sat down with plates full of food, and discussed battle techniques with the rest of the Athena Cabin. Little did I know, that a terrible act was going to be held the minute I left the table…

Now, I'll tell you this. I usually hate to read OC stories, but then my mind told me, Hey, give it a shot; maybe, your loathing will lessen a tad bit? I agreed with my know-it all mind, and next thing you know, I'm typing away on the keyboard… ;)
