Enjoy:) please review and thanks to Selene's Child for reviewing on my story.
Drake Peterson's POV: A Lost Memory
I guess I lost the competition. I should have entered the long ranged competition, since I am better at archery than swordplay. And when Jake used his water powers on me, I was so angry and detested, because the only power I had, was healing. I mean I got the enchanted quiver and bow from Apollo, so those are basically my powers right there. After the battle, Jake, Tara, and Angela were waiting outside of the arena. I wasn't really mad at Jake, because he was better than me at swordplay and I got proof inside the arena. I went up to him and congratulated him.
"Hey, that was a nice, fight out there. Congrats man," I said.
"Oh, well, I thought you were going to yell at me there," he replied.
"Well, you are a better in combat with a sword than I am. I succeed in archery, since Apollo is the god of archery in fact," I replied.
We then just congratulated each other, and we went back tour cabins. Angela stormed into my room, and fixed my wounds. Angela was like the only family that I had. She is the closest to me, but Tara is also a friend. Count Jake in too, because my friends are all good friends, and trust does appear through friendship. Though I feel as if Angela is a closer person to me than Jake and Tara. I don't despise them, but I just feel Angela as a closer friend.
"Angela, why are you doing this," I asked.
"Because I care about you. A friend always tries to help other friends when they're in need," Angela replied.
I took that reply and shut my mouth. I didn't say a word until Angela fixed all of my wounds and walked out of my cabin. Good thing that nobody was in the cabin; otherwise, I would have been toast if the news got spread. After that, I ran outside and looked around camp, alone. I felt lonely, but I knew that I loved to explore nature. I looked through the forest of Camp Fotis. The trees were green, as usual. The grass and bark felt pretty normal, and the pond looked okay too. It seemed like a peaceful forest, and that if you could be silent enough, you could almost hear nature talking to you. All of a sudden, while I was feeling the warmth and kindness of the air, a huge Minotaur appeared out of the woods. I mean this guy was big, as tall as the trees at most. I forgot to bring my bow and quiver of arrows back at my cabin, and I didn't want to run all the way back to get it. It will also bring danger to the camp, which will cause more chaos. But I was weaponless, and I couldn't fight this guy with physical contact. It walked slowly though, so I decided to use that chance to sneak away, and try to get my weapons. I ran inside of the Apollo cabin, and reached for my quiver of arrows and my bow.
I ran back into the forest, and the Minotaur was where it was when I found it, not even moving an inch. I shot my arrows at the Minotaur, but it easily deflected off of its rough skin.
"Damn it," I cursed.
How was I going to find a way through his rough skin? Oh, I got it! I then slung one of my grappling hook arrows and grappled onto a tree behind it. I hid in the branches of the tree, and to my luck, it didn't notice me. I shot on of my detonate arrows on its back, and it detonated about five seconds after it was placed. When the smoke cleared, the Minotaur was still standing. Though his whole back had torn, and I was guessing that a little more of those detonates would disintegrate him. I shot another detonate, but it noticed me hiding in the tree. He threw a summoned fireball at it, and I had to jump off the tree to resist the move. Though with the fireball, the tree caught on fire, and in any minute, it would catch the whole forest. I needed to do something very fast to calm the fire, but I didn't have anything that could recover fire. All of a sudden, Jake was riding on a torrent of water, coming toward me, with his sword in hand. I was lucky that Jake was here, otherwise, the whole forest would have collapsed.
"So, what's the party here," he asked.
"This Minotaur just appeared out of nowhere when I taking a walk in the forest," I explained.
"Okay, let's take this guy down," he replied.
He then rushed toward the trees and summoned the torrent of water that he was riding on, and threw it toward the trees. It burned out the fire, and the only thing left was the Minotaur. I then heard a horn sound before we attacked.
"Stop," a voice yelled.
Mack then sprung out of nowhere, and shot a poisonous arrow at the Minotaur. The arrow pierced the Minotaur in the heart, making it dissolve into dust.
"How did this creature get here, I do not know, but I know someone let it in," Mack said.
"Who, sir," I asked.
"I do not know. We have no evidence of who this person or people are, but we do know, that we have a spy for our worst fear at Camp Fotis," he said
"But how do you know that it didn't get in by itself," Jake asked.
"I know because the camp's borders are impossible for monsters to get in by themselves. The only reason for this creature to be here, is if someone…..let it in," Mack said, sadly.
He then escorted us back to the camp and let us be on our way.
"Do you get what he's trying to say Jake," I asked.
"I absolutely know what he's talking about," he answered.
"Well, I guess I must be on my way," I said.
So we parted from each other with a handshake, and we left to our own cabins. I walked into my cabin to see Lucy, all alone crying.
"Lucy what's wrong," I asked
She didn't answer, but I continued to ask.
"Lucy, what's the matter. Tell me why you are crying," I asked.
"I feel like I don't belong here, at Camp Fotis. I feel like I belong somewhere else, and I feel as if I've seen you somewhere," she answered.
"Well, I'm pretty sure we never really met, but Camp Fotis is your second home. And if no one makes it feel good here, I will make it," I comforted.
"Thanks Drake, I feel as if you are my big brother," she said.
"He is your older brother. He is," a voice said.
I readied my arrows.
"Who said that," I asked.
Then all of a sudden, someone appeared in our cabin. I know this person really well.
"You're the goddess Juno, what do you want of us," I asked.
"You two are siblings. The reason why you don't remember is that your memories have been taken away, to protect you from knowing each other until the right moment," Juno answered.
She then took her cloak and put it around me and Lucy. There then was a scene, a memory, about both of us. We were now in a room, with a woman, who I am guessing was my mom. There was also a man, and I recognized him right away. The man was the god Apollo, my father. There was also a baby boy on the carpet, playing.
"Please, you need to take him to another place. It isn't safe here," my younger version of my mom said.
"I'm sorry, but we can't," Apollo answered.
The scene shifted and we were now on the streets, where a car accident had happened.
"Child, this is where both of your lives now intersect. This event was when your mother died, Drake. In this car accident, you will see the light," Juno said.
I remembered this event. Though I remembered it vaguely, this was where I was adopted by another parent. Another woman then came up to the baby boy, which I'm guessing was me, and she took me into her home. She took me in and took me as her own. But ten years later, she had another baby, and it was a girl this time. She was wrapped around blankets and given to me to carry.
"Drake, do you like your new sister, Lucy," my mother asked.
I nodded my head when the scene shifted. We were in the same place, but this time, both of us were older. I was ten when Lucy was born. So Lucy was seven right now, but the question still remains in my head. Then how come we parted ways? Then, the scene showed when Lucy was taken to the hospital. She had gotten sick and I was crying. I eventually ran away from home, and where I met Tara and Angela. The scene ended and we were back in our cabins. Juno was gone, and we were left alone. We were stunned, and we didn't say anything. All we could do, was think in silence.
