As I once again started towards my cabin, I was stopped by the Stoll brothers. "Here, come with us," they said as they led me towards their cabin.
I followed them reluctantly. When we entered the Hermes cabin, I saw all kinds of things that could be used for pranks like glue, confetti, and all different kinds of trinkets. The two siblings walked up to the dresser and grabbed three sharpies and gum, oh dear I thought as they turned around to face me.
"Here, can you put these in you pockets," they said handing me the sharpies and gum. I then took the stuff and shoved it in my pockets.
"Okay, so no one should be in the Aphrodite cabin right now, so Connor, you make a distraction, while me and Trish sneak into the cabin, and Trish," Travis said turning towards me, "your job is to take the sharpies and draw on their posters."
"Oki doki," I said.
"Good. Operation CTT is a go," Travis stated.
"Wait, what's CTT?" I asked.
"It's the first letters of our first names," Connor explained.
"Oh."
We walked out of the cabin and automatically Connor got to work, he took about fifty steps away from us and yelled for people to gather around, soon enough everyone in a one-hundred-foot radius gathered around Connor. Travis and I quickly ran to the Aphrodite cabin and snuck in. Travis got to work with the gum, sticking it to almost every surface while I took a sharpie and started to draw mustaches on the people who were on the posters. I did a few doodles and then went onto the next.
In about five minutes we were done and snuck back out of the cabin, thankfully everyone was still focused on Connor, whatever he was doing.
Travis started to run away, I raised my hand and stopped him. I then caught up to him and said, "Don't run, people will be suspicious, just walk."
"You seem to know what you're doing," He said.
"Yeah, well, my parents weren't really the nicest when I was younger, so I would have to sneak or lie a lot if I wanted to do something or get out of something."
"Huh, then I guess you were a good choice for our team." I just laughed.
Right then Connor ran up to us from behind, "Get ready, someone is about to go into the Aphrodite cabin."
As we rounded the corner to where the Hera cabin was, we heard an ear-piercing scream. I ran inside the cabin and Connor and Travis followed.
"What are you doing in here! You shouldn't be here!" I yelled at them.
"What, we just followed you," They both said with their hands in the surrender position.
I closed my eyes and thought, if you let me mother, can I please let the Stoll's in here only for a few minutes? I then opened my eyes and stepped toward the two brothers; I placed a hand on each of their foreheads. My hands started to glow, but not their normal yellow color, but a light purple color.
"What did you just do, I feel… different," Travis said.
"I put some kind of spell on you so that you don't get sick every time you come in here, but it will only last for about an hour," I explained.
"Cool!" they said excitingly. I just laughed at their goofy smiles.
Connor walked over to Eliza and poked him. "Hey! Don't poke him, he's sleeping!" I said as I slapped the back of his head.
"Ow."
"Hey, what happened to the quiet, nervous kid who was mysteriously found in an alleyway and was brought camp by four of some of the most powerful demigods here?" Travis asked.
"Well, you guys kind of remind me of my brother… there's just two of you. Well except that he yelled at me a lot."
"That seems fun to have a sister, you know that isn't a daughter of Hermes and all," Connor said while standing up and walking towards Jamie's bed.
"Hey, now what are you doing?" I said.
"Just looking around," Connor responded.
"You don't just look around," I said.
Just as I was about to call Connor out, I heard someone, probably Chiron, yelled, "Stoll's!"
"Hide!" I whispered, the Stoll's quickly ran into the bathroom and shut the door. Just then I heard a knock on the doorway of the cabin, and since there still wasn't a door on said doorway, I looked outside to see Katie and Coral peering in. When Coral saw me, she ran inside and I picked her up, I then walked to where Katie was standing.
"Hey Katie," I said smiling.
"Hi, um have you seen Connor and Travis? I know you've been talking to Travis lately, and well Chiron's pretty sure that they pranked the Aphrodite cabin," She explained.
"Uh, no, I haven't seen them."
"Okay, thanks though."
"No problem," I said as Katie started walking away.
As Katie was walking down the white marble stairs, she turns and says, "Oh and Capture the flag starts soon, so if you haven't picked a team, then you should pick real soon." I then watch her as she walks across the lawn and to the big house.
"Its safe you guys," I called to the two brother's who were still hiding in my bathroom.
As Travis and Connor walked out, I put Coral down and she ran to Travis's feet and giggled, "I knew you were in here."
"And how did you know?" He asked her as he bent down.
"Because I just knew," she said as he started to tickle her, which made her break out into a fit of giggles, I could help but laugh along with them.
"How do you know she won't tell Katie?" Connor said nervously.
"Trust me, she might be two, but she's smarter than you think. Plus, she loves Travis, she would never rat him out like that."
"Well we have to get ready for Capture the flag, so we should probably go," Travis said as he stood back up.
"Okay, see you guys there?" I asked.
"Definitely," they both said as they walked out of the doorway.
A few minutes later Jamie ran in and said that Chiron wants everyone outside so he can start the game. I was so looking forward to my first game of Capture the Flag here.
Thanks for reading! I hope you enjoyed seeing the mischievous side of Trish in this chapter. Oh and this is probably going to be the last chapter I post today, so sorry for the suspense! (But don't worry, the next chapter will be coming out tomorrow.) Oh and I am officially caught up for my goal of posting 365 chapter this year, so I will be going back to posting at least one chapter a day, but on special occasions I might post more than one
