(A/N) Sorry for not posting for such a long time, everyone! My only excuse is laziness and…people not reviewing! It's fun to see that people are reading and coming back for more but nothing motivates an author more than a good review!
Alcina: Yes, review about my miserable life!
Kd: Darling, why don't you be quiet for this author's note?
Alcina: You sound just like my mom! And plus I'm the real hero in this story and I've got a few things to say!
Kd: Like what?
Alcina: Well first of all your spelling is- *Alcina is cut off by kd*
Kd: You know, you might be the weirdest demigod on fanfiction.
Alcina: Hey, I'm not the one with the problem, you're the one who made me.
Kd: Well, you've got a point there…
One of the weirder things I noticed about camp is that it was mainly consisted of boys. I found that strange because I've never seen a boy in my entire life. There may have been a few male animals on the island but no actual male human being. I wonder why mom hates them so much. Was she dumped so harshly that it caused her to become one of the virgin goddesses? Dose she have, like, a boy phobia? Or was she just too damn proud of herself and her independence that she felt superior to the other gender? I'm going with the third suggestion, my mother is much too full of herself and there's nothing worst than a selfish god.
"And over there is the dining area. Doesn't the marble floor look pretty in the sunshine?" Eldora said with such excitement it made me wonder if she drank a double shot of espresso. Honestly most of her words went through one ear and out the other, that is until we got to the cabins.
"These are the twelve cabins. Each one represents the twelve Olympian Gods and Goddesses. It's which god or goddess that was your parent that determines which cabin you stay in." Quincy said with pride as if he were one of those royal gods. Which he wasn't, I assure you.
"Wait, there are only twelve?" I said in surprise. Only those twelve gods have children? Did someone forget Hecate? She wouldn't like to hear that…
"Well, yes, those are the gods who are honored with cabins." Eldora said uneasily.
"But there are gods and goddesses that are just as old as the Olympians! What about Hades? What about Hecate?" I ranted. There was distant thunder but I ignored it. Hecate is even older than Zeus! Why is she not included?
"Look, ummm, you already know that you're a demigod, right?" Quincy asked curiously.
"Well, duh, I'm not stupid." I said matter-of-factly. Wouldn't it be obvious to a demigod that he/she was special? Or did it have to be spelled out for them?
"Then how did you survive the monsters?" Eldora asked with wide eyes. I forgot that monsters were attracted to demigods. I never had to deal with monsters. All my life I've been protected by the magical spells of the island. I've never once met a monster, I've only read books about monsters and the only scary part about that were the pictures. I'm sure that other demigods didn't have it as easy. It made me feel guilty that I had it so easy. Many demigods probably died before they even got to safety, why was I let off so easily. My journey here was no feat, all I did was pray to a god for mercy and passed out the entire trip. Did I even deserve to live?
"I lived on very isolated island. The only monster there was my mother." I said with a comical wink, although they wouldn't have noticed because I was wearing sunglasses. Eldora giggled a little although it sounded more nervous than amused.
That's rude, Alcina! Kabe growled.
"Oh, come on, Kabe. I'm just poking fun!" I reasoned with Kabe. Really…how can Kabe stick up for the evil person that turned her into a dog in the first place?
"Ummm…did you just talk to your dog?" Quincy asked.
"Yeah." I said as if it was no big deal. At least it wasn't for me, I've been talking to Kabe ever since I could talk.
"And you understood your dog?" Quincy asked as if he didn't believe.
"Well, duh, understanding what the other person is saying is kind of a big part of having a conversation."
Could you not be rude for 2 minutes? Kabe snarled. Man, she's really into teaching me manners! Kabe walked sniffing the ground.
"Kabe! I'll be better! Don't go!" I called after her. Well I guess she was cranky because she was still spitting out seawater but, hey, I felt like crap too. "She's way into manners." I explained. I don't think they heard me, they were both staring at me with strange looks. "Yeah, I know," I chuckled, "A dog trying to teach manners." Apparently they didn't get the joke. "So…if most of the gods don't have cabins…where do I stay?" I grunted.
"Well luckily for you Hermes, being the god of travelers, is opening his cabin for anyone who's been undecided." Eldora yanked out jazz hands toward the most plain looking cabin. Great, I just came here and already I've been put into the 'other' category.
"Ummm…why don't we introduce you to your new cabin?" Quincy said nervously. Sure why not? Go introduce the new freak. "I'm sure they're all very excited to meet you." He sounded like a first grade teacher reassuring the new exchange student that would later be bullied. I gave him an annoyed glare (still unnoticed because of my sunglasses), Eldora must have been tired of him too because she said. "Uh, I heard Zanna is looking for you."
"Really?" Quincy asked with wide eyes.
"Yeah, sure, why don't you go find-" but Eldora was cut off as Quincy rushed off with animal-like speed before she could finish her sentence. I kept that as a mental note of how to handle him in the future. Eldora and me walked toward cabin 11 but before she could even reach for the door handle it slammed open.
"Is that a new camper?" a teenager with mischievous eyes asked as he stuck out his head.
"Fresh blood!" another camper yelled from somewhere inside the cabin.
"This is Alcina." Eldora introduced me. She turned away and walked off.
"Where are you going?" I asked. She pointed to the golden cabin that glowed with an orange tint as the sun went down. Oh of course, she got a cabin made of gold while I got a rundown cabin for kids who were 'undetermined'. Funny how that works out. I was feeling like crap until I heard a bark by my side.
"Oh! Kabe, you're back!" I said thankfully. There were murmurs in the cabin. I looked around. The boy who opened the door sidestepped to let me in while he gave me a wink. He was about my age, he had light brownish hair with highlights of red that reminded me of a faded penny. The outer tips of his light brown eyes turned upward along with his eyebrows giving him a very elfish look. He was very handsome but I didn't trust him any farther than I could throw him. It seemed as if his eyes, along with many other sets of eyes, were following my messenger bag. It then occurred to me that Hermes was also the god of thieves.
"Well you can sleep where ever there's space. Oh, by the way I'm Hector." The boy with the penny-colored hair said. Kabe flinched at the name. I looked around. The entire floor was covered with sleeping bags. The only bare spot was a small area around a corner. I walked over there, trying not to step on any of the sleeping bags, and set by bag down. Now I'm no idiot, I would not leave my bag of most precious items laying right in front of a bunch of descendants of Hermes. I thought that if I intimidated these petty thieves that they wouldn't mess around with me or my bag.
"Alright, anyone of you touches my bag and you won't wake up to see the next day!" I said in my scariest, deepest voice. The entire cabin laughed. I was being dead serious, why were they laughing? Everyone on the island was extremely terrified of me! I was surprised until the corner of my eye caught the mirror on the other side of the room. I still looked like one of those stupid island students. My jet-black hair was still in a long braid with orange ribbon entwined. My black clothing looked more like a fashionable schoolgirl's outfit than the outfit of a deadly sorceress. No wonder they didn't take me seriously. I guess I'd have to use a little magic…
"Τρομάξει μακριά κλέφτες από τα υπάρχοντά μου!" (Scare away thieves from my possessions!) I said as I shot my hand out toward my bag. The messenger bag glowed slightly. "Now, I don't know what will happen if you touch my bag but I'm sure neither of us want to find out." I said with a wink to the rest of the cabin (again unnoticed by the sunglasses I have to wear constantly). I at least kept them away from my bag for a while but I still have to do something about my appearance…
