Very sorry for the late update, but it won't be consistent from now on since school's back in. I'll try my best to make sure that it's at least once every week, but no promises. It might be once very two weeks.

Camille you need to eat something.

I'm not hungry. I snapped sullenly to Thoth.

I heard him give a mental sigh. Look Camille, I'm sorry. I didn't expect for a flood of memories to be triggered when I tried to suppress you.

Why were you even trying to suppress me? I'm free to think my own thoughts Thoth. I couldn't see him and right now I wished that I could so I could see if he was at least looking ashamed.

Your thoughts that I have to share Camille. Thoth told me angrily. It's one thing if you're the only one to hear them, feel free to fantasize about kissing Carter all you want when I am no longer in your head, but when I have to share your thought. I do not want to have that mental image in my head!

I was beyond furious at this point and I clutched at the bed sheets to stop my self from punching something. I don't think that Anubis or Osiris would be grateful that I broke their furniture. So your actions were justified just because you didn't want the mental image!

Silence…..

"Give her the real reason Thoth, don't lie to her. She has the right to know." I jumped at the voice that seemed to emerge from the shadows and I was reminded of my father. I shivered at the thought. No, Anubis and my father were nothing alike. I'm pretty sure that Anubis wasn't plotting how to kill me, as far as I knew.

He's not planning on killing you Camille.

Shut up Thoth, I never asked for what you thought.

"Thoth stop stalling and tell her what we talked about." Anubis said calmly, but I sensed an undercurrent of caution.

At first I didn't get it, but then it dawned on me, well not really dawned on me, but I got a gut feeling. I narrowed my eyes at Anubis. "You hypocrite." I hissed at him.

"How am I a hypocrite?" He asked confused, but I didn't buy it.

"You know something that you don't want to tell me, but know that yo9u have to. Now you're using Thoth to stall while you try to figure out how to explain whatever it is you don't want to explain. You're using the same stalling tactic that Thoth is using, but you're getting angry at him."

Are you coming to my defense right now? Thoth asked in disbelief.

No, I'm just stating what a hypocrite Anubis is being.

But you make it sound like you're coming to my defense. Thoth told me smugly.

Shut up Thoth, I don't come to the defense of people who make me relive some of the worst moments of my life.

That shut him up.

"Thoth, tell Camille what we discussed." Anubis said impatiently. I shot him a glare and he added, "While I try to figure out how to explain something to Camille."

Well Camille, we have good news and bad news.

Stop stalling Thoth, just tell me. I told him impatiently.

The good news is that we made it to the Daut! So we can begin some training later when you feel up to it.

I suppressed a snort. He would be concerned about me training to be a magician. He didn't care at all about what I wanted; maybe I didn't want to be a magician at all.

That's a lie Camille. You so want to be a magician and learn some new tricks to use against your Greek monsters and everything.

Maybe…now stop stalling and tell me what the bad news is already. I told him impatiently.

That is Anubis' job.

What a coward, he didn't want to tell me what the bad news was so he was passing it off to Anubis. I rolled my eyes and turned to face Anubis. "Well? Spit it out."

He cleared his throat a little nervously. "The bad news is that your gods can still, um, affect you through the Daut."

I stared at him in disbelief. Wasn't the whole point of coming to this Daut place to not be affected by my family? "Are you kidding me!" I screeched at him. He covered his ears with his hands. "The whole point of coming here was so that I couldn't get lightning hurled at me!"

"Well you won't get lightning hurled at you Camille." Anubis said reasonably, with his hands still over his ears. "They can't affect you too dramatically. So there won't be any monsters coming in here that they're sending, and no lightning or storms or whatever."

"So how do they affect me?" I questioned.

"Um, well earlier one of your gods was, um, affecting you." He wasn't making any sense.

When you were kissing Anubis, wanting to kiss Carter, acting like a drunken idiot. Thoth explained in more detail.

My mouth fell in a perfect O and I cursed from the bed. "Stupid Aphrodite and Dionysus." I was expecting thunder to rumble, but nothing happened. I tilted my head to the side in confusion and then I remembered what Anubis said. No more storms or anything that Zeus had control of. Cool beans.

"So that is the one predicament, but other than that you'll be fine." Anubis said calmly.

"Fine? FINE!" I screeched. "Are you insane!"

"Camille what's the big deal about this? It's only two gods." Anubis asked perplexed.

"It's Aphrodite and Dionysus! Dionysus will make me drunk, and trust me. You do not want a drunken demi-god, especially one with a weapon who is practicing magic! Add Aphrodite to the mix and you have a love-drunk idiot who will cause havoc!" I breathed in heavily and put my hand by my throat trying to calm myself down from my hysteria.

"Camille?"

I didn't answer him.

"Camille, have you had any bad experiences with these gods?"

I remembered when someone snuck in some whiskey to camp and we got drunk. Dionysus was so angry with us, but mostly because he had to remain sober while we didn't. He made our hangovers last for a week, and when we were still actually drunk, he gave us temporary insanity and we ended up humiliating ourselves and then we were washed out by Chiron. He did his very best to make our lives Hades on earth while we were at camp.

I had a personal streak with Aphrodite. I had dated one of her sons before and I broke up with him later because he was a brainless idiot. Mind you not all Aphrodite kids are like this, but he was an absolute airhead obsessed with himself and was only dating me to improve his image. I swear that he was Narcissus reincarnated. Anyways after I broke up with him Aphrodite went on a vengeance trip and al of her kids made sure that I couldn't get a boyfriend, not to mention that Aphrodite gave me a massive outbreak.

So ya, you could say that I've had bad experiences with the two of them.

Well I can see why you aren't very fond of them Camille. Thoth said slightly amused.

What! You heard that!

Yep. You could hear the smugness in his voice.

"So Thoth, why doesn't she like these two gods?" Anubis asked casually.

Do not tell him Thoth, otherwise I will not agree to be a magician person and I will actually let Zeus or someone kill me.

I swear that he was rolling his eyes at me from wherever he was. You are such a drama queen Camille. You wouldn't let Zeus kill you.

Point taken, but I will refuse to learn how to be a magician.

Fine then I won't tell him. Sorry Anubis, my lips are sealed.

Anubis grumbled and I smiled. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad here learning magic and everything here, but I couldn't stay here forever. I had to figure out a way to get back to the actual world and get back to camp half-blood. But for now I guess I was stuck in the Daut learning how to make magic, and who knows. Maybe it'll come in handy for training.

So overall not one of my best chapters, but I'm starting to run out of ideas. So feel free to pitch ideas on how to progress the story and I might use them if I like them. Peace and review!
