Chapter 19 Kristal

Well my first impression of my sibling wasn't the best. There were eight of them in the room, and judging from some of the unmade beds, there were more. The cabin was pretty impressive all the beds were pushed up to the far wall and a small library took up most of the space. There was a small working area in the corner and a ladder on the far wall leading up to the attic or something. There were chests by the beds so you can store your stuff, and a wardrobe pushed back opposite of the ladder.

"What's the wardrobe for?" I asked Annabeth.

"We just got that yesterday, we have some weapons in there. They are there so they don't take up much space in the rest of the cabin. We also have some old books on the bottom" she said talking pretty fast.

"Cool" I said looking at it, knowing there was more to it since it was locked.

"At least I think there are weapons, the books are in the bottom drawer. We don't have the key to that thing. It just appeared for some reason around this time yesterday." Annabeth said looking at the wardrobe with her eyes glazed over. She shook her head and looked at another girl "Show Kristal her bunk and around the cabin while I go meet up with Percy" Annabeth said with a small blush creeping up her cheeks. I figured this guy was her boyfriend or something to close to that. Soon the Athena cabin was back to a busy work place. Pencils scratching against paper and pages flipping. I heard a few conversations, but not about anything interesting. These people were pretty boring and had some education, unlike me who never had a class ever but for some reason knew a lot of things. I looked at the girl that was supposed to help me as Annabeth walked out of the cabin. The girl set down the book she was reading and jumped off the bunk she was on. The bunks were stacked up four by four and she was on the second row. She landed in a crouched position and walked over to me.

"Hey I'm Diana" she said sticking out her hand. She had blonde hair and gray eyes like everybody else, unlike Annabeth, her hair was stick straight and she had dirty blonde under layers. Her noose was pointy at the tip and she had a sword on her belt. She looked like she tried too hard to look good with all the make-up on her face, but her hair was down half up and half down ponytail with the natural color on top and the died part left loose. Her hair had tangles in it and the hair tie loosing it's grip on her hair. On the other hand her make-up was flawless and done perfectly.

"Hi I'm Kristal" I said wondering why her hand was out and I copied her. I stuck my hand out next to hers and left it there. She grabbed it and shook it. I wondered why she shook it, they are some weird people.

"What's wrong?" Diana asked, "Why didn't you shake my hand?" she looked at me with a worried face and her forehead wrinkled up and then her foundation stuck together then unstuck.

"I just think it's weird that you shake hands" I said looking at her confused face.

"Where are you from?" she asked me.

"Colorado" I said somehow knowing my tribe was from there, even if I was left in the desert.

"Oh, um what tribe do you belong to?" she asked like if I was supposed to be offended.

"Arapaho" I replied as she calmed down a bit.

"Well let me show you your bed" she said walking to the beds and jumping up from the bottom one, to hers, then up to the one on top. She motioned for me to come up there and I took the ladder. When I made it up there I looked down and saw my awesome view of the cabin.

"This is mine" I said opening the chest and throwing my bag in there.

"Yup, you get a nice view and I'm right under you and Annabeth is under me" she said with a smile.

"Cool, and I can get whatever books I want from the library right?" I said with a hopeful smile, because I never had a book before.

"Yup, let's get you some, um, regular clothes. I know just who to get them from" she said jumping off and I climbed down.

"Where do we go?" I asked really wanting a book.

"Well there is a nice girl named Piper who can help you" she said walking out the door with me at her heels. We walked to a cabin near by that looked like a giant doll house. Diana walked in and some girls were talking on a bed and looked momentarily at us and continued talking. We walked up to a girl with tanned skin and eyes that changed color. She had brown choppy hair with braids down the sides but she looked pretty anyways. She was just sitting there holding a knife and looking at it, then she saw us.

"Hey Diana, who's this?" she asked looking at me.

"I'm Kristal, daughter of Athena" I said remembering to stick out my hand getting a proud look from Diana.

"Hi I'm Piper daughter of Aphrodite, where are you from?" Piper asked me.

"Colorado, I'm one of the Arapaho Indians." I said hoping she wouldn't hate me.

"Cool, I'm a Cherokee" she said with a smile, "What brings you guys here" she said looking at Diana.

"Well as you can see Kristal needs some modern clothing I was hoping you could help her" Diana said not looking at Piper in the eyes.

"Sure, I would love to!" Piper said.

"Great!" I smiled, I couldn't wait to look like I belonged here, my book could wait.
