Sorry for the long wait and the short chapter but I have been busy and I promise the next chapter will be action filled.
My mum pulled me into a hug. She was shaking with nerves and looked like she hadn't sleep the whole time I'd been away. We stood on the big house porch, the camp bustled around us everyone getting ready for the gods arrival.
My heart was pumping so quickly I thought it might break through my chest and my hands shook like a nervous puppy.
"I missed you so much." My mum whispered in my ear, she released me from her grasp and gestured for me to follow her into the big house.
We walked into my room and sat on the four posted bed. I fiddled nervously with my silver bracelet running my finger across the engraved letters.
"You were so tiny." My mother told me in a distant voice like she was thinking hard. "I was so scared. I knew that if they found you they would be so angry and now it's actually happening."
I looked up at my mum's piercing grey eyes; they were filled with an extreme fear.
"It's ok Mum, I will be f-fine." I said my voice wavering with fear.
Mum looked at me, a small smile on her scared face. I realized why she was smiling; that was the first time I had called her mum to her face.
"Sophie when this is over I am going to make it up to you, all those years you were in the orphanage , I'm so sorry." Mum said pulling me into a tear filled hug.
"It's ok, it's ok." I said soothingly, but something in the back of my mind was still praying that this would work.
That night I sat up nervously in my bed. I couldn't sleep with all the noise outside, campers where still getting ready for the gods arrival and although nobody would confirm in I knew they where preparing weapons. I got up from my bed and put a thin white dressing gown over my pajamas that I still had from Aphrodite.
I quietly opened the door and snuck outside into the cold night. I could see the lights on in some of the cabins but most of the campers had gone to sleep. I walked quickly down to the Athena cabin and took a deep breath before quietly opening the door.
The cabin was filled with sleeping campers but none of them woke with my entrance. I glanced at the sleeping faces of the Athena campers and found the one I was looking for. I slipped into the bed beside my mother and held still trying not to wake her up, it worked and I fell asleep soundlessly in the Athena cabin.
PLEASE, PLEASE,PLEASE,PLEASE REVIEW AND VOTE ON MY POLL!
