Charlie: YO~! Hey guys~! Okay so...In this chapter, Chrys will be introduced to her cabin. And as most of you know, both of the leaders of Cabin 7 (Apollo's cabin) died in the war. So well...Idk who's the new cabin leader...Or well...If there was, I forgot. Anyways~! The characters in Cabin 7 are OC cuz well there were like only 3 mentioned sons of Apollo. 2 died and well one got injured during the war (he's mentioned in the chapter but he's not important). So yeah. Beware of that~! Anyways, I kind of like this chapter so I hope you guys do too~! Enjoy~!
Haha~! Okay and well...As most of you know, I have stupid summer school...Ugh...Enjoy and peace~!
Criticism is allowed and strongly advised for this chapter~! I do not own any characters from Percy Jackson and the Olympians~! Enjoy and peace~!
Eventually, I found a good spot where no one would interrupt me. Of course, it was where they grew the strawberries. The fragrance they gave off was sweet and light. They would be harvested soon.
Call me crazy, but I decided to talk to the strawberries. I mean they say the plants like it when you talk to them, due to the fact that we give off carbon dioxide that they take in for food and then release the unneeded oxygen that we use. It's a cycle.
I leaned into one of the plants and inhaled the light scent, "I thought I would belong here, you know? I mean my dad's a God so you'd expect me to be just as great…but I'm not. Then again, they probably trained every day."
"But I'll be someone! I'll become strong and have everyone notice me! I won't let my father down and think lowly of me!"
"Aw…How cute are you?" I jumped at the sound of the voice. Walking towards me was a girl with light blonde hair and a slim figure. It looked as if she were an angel treading gracefully on water.
"D-Don't come any closer! I'll hit you!" I showed her the sun pendant as if it was supposed to be scary but she didn't stop.
"Hey don't be like that! I'm trying to be a friend to you but if you're going to be so rude then maybe I won't!" She crossed her arms across her chest and gave out an annoyed pout.
"I-I'm sorry…I thought you were going to bully me." I got up and held my hand out. "Hi, I'm Chrys Johnson! I'm new here…"
The girl snorted, "Of course you're the new girl!" She shook my hand and I gasped at how fragile her hand felt. "What?" She looked down, "Oh my hand? Why thank you! I take good care of my skin."
I quirked my eyebrow at her and she pouted again, "What? Stop staring! It's rude!"
I shook my head and laughed, "No it's just that you're really pretty."
She beamed with joy, "Aw…You are so kind! My mom is Aphrodite! The Goddess of love and beauty!" She stood proud and I couldn't help but feel like her new slave, "Oh btw, my name's Amanda!"
I smiled brightly, "So are we friends now?"
She snorted, "Of course! Anybody who calls me pretty is worthy of being my friend. Hey, whose your mother? Or well…Father?"
I beamed, it was my turn to brag. "My dad's Apollo!"
"Ahhh…Well it suits you since you've got such a bright attitude! Omg, have you settled into your cabin yet?"
I shook my head, "Sadly, no…I don't even know where my cabin is."
She grabbed my hand and pulled me towards the center of the camp, "Well let me show you! It's the least I can do for my new friend."
"So here it is!" Amanda held her chin up in a proud way as she gestured to my cabin.
"Cabin 7?" It wasn't as glorious as Nico's but it had a homey feeling to it. "I love it!"
"Of course you do! Now let's go on in, shall we?" I nodded and she pulled me into the cabin.
The cabin was a mess. There was trash everywhere! And clothes laid on the floor as if it was a substitute for a carpet.
"Um…Well this is my first time in the Apollo cabin...Who knew they let it go this bad?"
"What do you mean?"
"Well…The two previous cabin leaders died in a war…" Her face was solemn and sad, "But you don't need to worry about that! You'll get along just fine!" She patted my shoulder with a smile on her face.
"I guess…" One of the boys spotted us and whispered to the others who began to stare at me. "Why are they looking at me like that?" I turned to look for Amanda but she was gone.
"Well….I'll be going!" Amanda was already heading towards her cabin. What a friend.
"Well hello there! You must be the new cabin member! We've been waiting for you…" A group of boys were crowding around me as the girls were still in their bunks minding their own business.
"H-Hi?" I clutched myself and shuddered at the attention. One of the boys rolled his eyes and pointed towards one of the bottom bunks that didn't seemed touched by the mess.
"That's your bunk." I nodded and walked past him with my bag in my hand. "By the way, I'm Auden." He was around my age and the only one who didn't seem to want to tease me.
"Man, Auden you're no fun!" One of the boys with dark brown hair and shiny blue eyes, pouted.
"That's Julian." Auden was sitting on the bunk on top of me and gestured towards the shiny eyed boy. I nodded. He then pointed towards a blonde girl with glasses, "That's Melissa." Then to a boy with auburn hair and green eyes, "That guy over there is James."
The introductions went one forever but at least I felt safe to know that at least one of the boys didn't want to torment me.
Soon I was able to point out that Rachel, a brown haired girl who loved to read, was on the bottom bunk next to me. And that, Julian was on the top bunk next to Auden; they were best friends. James, who loved archery but rarely talked to anybody, took the bunk above Rachel. And Will—Will Solace. He had survived the war between Camp Half-Blood and Kronos with a broken leg as proof.
I didn't know I was so hungry until my stomach was grumbling. Everyone in the cabin looked at me and laughed.
"Well you did miss dinner. I bet Julian has something to spare for ya'." I looked over at Rachel who was smiling at me from the top of her book. Then something hit the back of my head. I turned around to find a roll of bread.
"You're welcome. You're one of us now so we're family. In fact we're siblings." I smiled at Julian then went to nibbling on the roll of bread as I unpacked my stuff. I barely got anything done as it was almost 11 PM and the others had informed me that, that was curfew. No exceptions.
"You're going to have a long day tomorrow, Chrys. You better get some shut-eye." I jumped at the sight of Auden hanging from his top bunk.
I nodded, "I know it's just that I want to get settled in so I feel more…Homey."
He nodded and turned off the lights. I couldn't see anything but that didn't matter. I was already done. My mom had packed me a blanket and pillow, some hygiene materials, a hat, some sunscreen, and my stuffed rabbit, Frisky.
I slipped into my blanket and cuddled up to Frisky. At least I felt welcomed in my own cabin.
So how was that everyone? Good? Horrible? Or possibly just boring? Well either way thank you for reading and please stay tune for the next chapter~! Thank you so very much and I am very excited to hear some comments from you folks.
