I hear you guys liked Gwen's POV… I'm thinking about doing one from Dakota's POV soon but for now here's another Gwen chapter
Gwen
Now, I think you could get where I'm coming from when I say I wanted to smash my alarm clock when it woke me up. In my dream I had been following Annabeth and Piper out of the woods when the beeping started. If they had said anything else interesting, I wouldn't get the chance to hear it. I was regretting setting my alarm so early.
But I was up now, so I had to deal with the fact that it was time to go. I half-heartedly checked my pack again, while mulling through the confusing whirl of thoughts in my head. Where was that place? I asked myself. It was obvious that it was another camp for Half-bloods, but it was so different there. They were so relaxed and we were so… not. That could be a good thing, or it could be a bad thing. I'd say somewhere in between. We were probably better organized and disciplined, but… Well, to have so much fun while training and not be so strictly monitored and severely punished… it sounded really nice. And I'm guessing they're friendlier, try to avoid fighting. Though from what I saw, they're pretty dang good at fighting too.
BEEP. BEEP. BEEP. BEEP
My alarm clock blares out, pulling me away from my thought. Oh Gods! I'd been sitting there for twenty minutes.
Scrambling to get ready, I didn't feel the need to finish going through my pack (six times is enough, right?). I borrowed one of my sibling's (I think it was Julie…) hairbrush to pull my hair back in a high ponytail before putting on a pair of dark jeans and my purple camp T-shirt. I rushed out of the bathroom, grabbed my bag and ran out the door.
I cursed seeing the light peak over the horizon. I, Gwen Reglos, Daughter of Minerva, head counselor of the Minerva cabin, Legatus of the First Legion, was late.
If there is one thing everyone in the entire camp knows, it's the fact that I am never late.
I know, really short chapter! But sorry, I had to stop here. Don't worry though; this is a split chapter…
Dakota
Standing in the middle of the sword arena, I couldn't help but smirk. Where was the Great Gwendolyn Reglos at the moment? Nowhere in sight, that's for sure. I looked over at Percy, who was sitting on a bench only a few feet from him, who had no emotions on his face. I checked my watch a few times, then glanced at the horizon a few more. Could this really be happening? I was not letting this one go. It took about five minutes, but finally, there she was, golden blond hair pulled back on her know-it-all head, her sparkling gray eyes glaring at me, as if daring me to make a comment.
"Sorry guys. I lost track of time." She said simply, though she was looking at Percy as if he'd grown a second head. No, even weirder. She was looking at him as if he's grown a second head, and had started dancing around yelling about magic rainbow ponies.
"Well, no freaking DUH." I said. "never thought I'd see the day…" I mumbled, trailing off.
"Sorry, Kota… What was that?" her voice was sweet, sugar-coated. I knew better.
"Uh, nothing, Gwen. Nothing at all." I stated, nervous at the piercing look she was giving me.
"That's what I thought…" She trailed off and started looking at Percy oddly again. What was with that? "Anyway, we should get going. The sooner we leave to go on this quest, the quicker it's over, and the less time I have to spend with you." She said, shouldering her bag and walking towards the exit of the arena. I looked over at Percy, but he just shrugged and got up to follow her. Me, not being one to want to miss any action, was right behind them.
"So, Princess… It looks like you've got everything under control… Where's our first stop?" I asked. She shot me a look that meant she would not be taking any of my nonsense this trip…. Too bad for her, she going to have to put up with it a lot. I am not, under any circumstances, letting her off the hook.
"Well, actually Kota, this is Percy's quest, but it said we needed to go east. I say our first action is going to the nearest place that we can get a detailed map. Like I said before, we're on the west coast (a/n thank you for pointing that out. I meant to type west but I guess I didn't) so almost everywhere is east of us. If we get a map, then we can work our way towards an answer, ok?"
"Sounds good to me." Percy said. "So probably like a gas station or something. They usually have maps."
"Uh, yeah, a gas station." I said.
"So now that we know where we're going first, let's head out." She walked briskly towards the edge of camp, making Percy and I have to jog to catch up with her.
"Sounds easy enough so far… what could go wrong?" I mumbled.
If there is one thing that I would learn from the first part of this quest, it's that you should never ever say anything that could possibly jinx you.
I'm really sorry that it's so short… it's just a filler chapter with a sort of cliffhanger at the end. What could go wrong? Any way… I'll have a longer, more exciting chapter up soon but…
PLEASE READ: I have a poll up on my profile for another fanfic I want to write, so if you would vote, that would be greatly appreciated. And plus, as soon as I get a couple votes, I'll start it, so it'll give you something else to read.
Peace, Love, Hope, Happiness, Faith
