I just to want to say thanks to Guest for the review and to IDKSN and Turahk for following the story I'll try to update often and take the review on board.
Chapter 2
After the Orientation Film Chiron took me to my cabin. It was long and low and made of rough grey stone studded with pieces of seashell and coral. As we got closer I heard laughing coming from inside. Chiron knocked on the door and the laughing died down slightly as Percy opened the door. "Hey, come on in sis." I looked at Chiron who nodded so followed Percy inside and I was immediately hit by the smell of the beach. There were 11 other people in the cabin including Annabeth sitting barefoot in a circle on the floor. There were also six beds but only one looked like it had been slept in with a small bedside table next to it and large TV on the wall. "Oh, before I forget Amelia, what T-shirt size do you take?" Chiron asked. I looked back at him and replied "Medium." Chiron trotted away as Percy shut the door. "What does he want to know my T-shirt size for?" I asked. "So you can get one of these." Percy replied and that's when I realised he was wearing an orange T-shirt with the image of a Pegasus on it underneath the words Camp Half-Blood. I also noticed he had a tattoo on his left arm on the letters SPQR, a trident and a single straight line as he led me over to the group. "Guys this is my half-sister Amelia. Amelia this is Nico, Thalia, Hazel, Frank, Leo, Jason, Piper, Reyna, Will and Calypso."
Nico was a good looking Italian boy of about with long dark hair and brown eye and wearing an aviator jacket over his camp T-shirt. Thalia was a pretty punk girl sitting next to Annabeth with spiky black hair and electric blue eyes and wearing, black jeans, combat boots, a black T-shirt with a picture of a Barbie doll with an arrow through it's head under the words Death to Barbie and what looked like a small tiara in her hair. Hazel was a very pretty black girl sitting next to Thalia with long curly hair, golden eyes and wearing a purple T-shirt with a wreath on it around the letters SPQR. Frank was a muscular good looking Chinese guy wearing the same kind of T-shirt as Hazel who he was sitting next to. Jason was a good looking blonde guy sitting next to Frank with electric blue eyes and also wearing an SPQR T-shirt. Piper was a gorgeous Native American girl next to Jason with choppy brown hair with a blue feather braided into it and wearing an orange Camp Half-Blood T-shirt. Reyna was a beautiful Latino girl next to Piper with dark eyes and long dark hair tied in a braid and also wearing a purple SPQR T-shirt. Leo was a short Latino boy next to Reyna with Elfish feature and wearing suspenders, a tool belt and an orange T-shirt. Will was a good looking tanned, blonde boy next to Leo also wearing an orange T-shirt. Calypso was a beautiful girl next to Will with caramel coloured hair and wearing an Ancient Greek dress. Nico, Will and Hazel were about my age and the others were about the same age as Percy and Annabeth.
"Hi." I said and waved as Percy sat down between Annabeth and Nico "Come sit down Amelia we're playing truth or dare." Hazel said. "I love this game." I replied as I sat down next to Percy taking my socks and shoes off. "Just so Amelia Knows the rules if you don't answer the Truth honestly or do the Dare you have to take off an item of clothing." "Alright it's my go. Percy Truth or Dare?" Jason said "Truth." Percy replied. "When did you have your first kiss with Annabeth?"
"Well, the first time she kissed me was at Mt. Saint Helens when we were 15 but our first kiss as a couple was my 16th birthday when the rest of the camp threw us in the canoe lake." Percy said looking nostalgic as did Annabeth.
"They threw you in the canoe lake?" Frank asked. "Oh yeah I remember that." Will added. "Best underwater kiss ever." Percy said and kissed Annabeth on the lips. "How did you not drown?" I asked "Children of Poseidon can breath underwater and create air pockets underwater." Percy explained. "Cool." I said with a smile "Reyna, Truth or Dare?" "Dare." Reyna said with a confident smile.
"I dare you to let the Aphrodite Cabin, excluding Piper, give you a makeover." Percy smiled wickedly at her. "Damn you Jackson." Reyna said but got up and went to the door anyway. "You're really gonna do it?" I asked. Reyna turned to look at me from the door and said "I'm a Roman and Romans don't turn down a challenge now matter how humiliating." then she left. "Mam told me about Greek myths when I was a kid but never said anything about Romans."
"It's possible she doesn't know about Roman Half-Bloods, I mean none of us at here at camp knew about them until last year except Nico." Annabeth explained "Do you think my mam knows my dad is Poseidon?" I said curiously.
"Possibly if she's Clear Sighted." Thalia said. "What does that mean?"
"It means she can see through the Mist, which is special veil controlled by Hecate which hides our world from the eyes of Mortals but some of then can see through it like my mom and Annabeth's dad and Rachel who acts as the host for the Oracle of Delphi."
"Can anyone but Hecate control the Mist?"
"Only her Half-Blood kids and me." Hazel said.
"So who are all your Godly Parents?" "Athena." Annabeth said. "Zeus." Thalia added. "Aphrodite." Piper said. "Hepheastus." Leo said. "Hades." added Nico. "Atlas." Calypso said. "Jupiter." said Jason. "Mars." Frank added. "Pluto." Hazel said. "Apollo." Will said. "And Reyna's a daughter of Bellona." Percy finished. About 5 minutes later Reyna came back in dressed in a low cut pink dress that came down to her knees with mascara, eyeliner, blush and lipstick on her face a red heels on her feet. She also carried a bag which I guessed had her normal clothes and shoes in it. Leo and Percy looked like they were trying not to laugh but the other guys looked flustered especially Jason who I guessed was dating Reyna. As she sat down she said "Nobody say a word." glaring a Leo and Percy. Then she looked at Nico and said "Truth or Dare?"
"Truth." "If you could date anyone here except Will who would it be?" Nico looked around nervously the reluctantly said "Percy." so Nico's gay and I'm guessing had a crush on Percy before dating Will.
Line break for no reason—Line break for no reason—Line break for no reason.
"Piper Truth or Dare?"
"Dare."
"I dare you to kiss any good looking guy here except Jason." looks like I was wrong about Jason dating Reyna. Piper stood up, walked over to Percy and kissed him on the cheek before sitting down next to Jason again. "Amelia Truth or Dare?" she asked me. "Truth."
"Do you have a crush on anyone and if so who?"
"My best friend Mark." I replied a dreamy smile creeping across my face "I've known him my entire life, we were even born in the same hospital just three days apart. He's smart, funny kind, talented, humble and so good looking with the most amazingly blue eyes I've ever seen." I had a feeling so I went over to my case, opened it and pulled out a photo my mam packed of Mark and I at the beach smiling over spring break. It was the best day of my life so far. I handed the photo to Percy who said "Are you sure he's a guy?" referring to Mark's ponytail. The photo was passed around the circle and Hazel said "I think he's quite cute." which earned her a surprised look from Frank "Yeah he's not taken is he?" Will said which earned him a glare from Nico. "I hate to break it to you mate but I don't think he's gay at least I hope not."
"What do you mean you hope he's not gay?" Calypso asked.
"Just something he said recently about questioning his own sexuality." I replied sitting back down as the photo was returned to me "Anyway Calypso Truth or Dare?"
"Truth."
"Who was the most recent person to show up on your island?"
"Leo, he's the one who brought me here." the way they looked at each other suggested they were together.
"Frank Truth or Dare."
"Dare."
"I dare you to go into the Ares Cabin and steal Clarisse's spear." Frank immediately removed his shirt and Hazel started fanning herself with her hand trying not to look at his six pack or muscular arms all while breathing heavily. "Annabeth, Truth or Dare?" Frank said looking embarrassed at Hazel's reaction. "Do your worst Zhang." Annabeth smirked. "I dare you to go and flirt with Travis Stoll in front of Katie Gardner." Annabeth faltered and removed her shirt revealed her tanned midriff and a light grey bra. What surprised me was that she also had a six pack and her stomach, chest, shoulders and upper arms were a gruesome patchwork of faded scars which stood out against her tan. I swallowed nervously unsure of how to act but Percy smirked at Annabeth who responded by playfully hitting his arm. That was when a horn sounded in the distance and everyone got up putting their shoes back on. "That's lunch." Percy said and Annabeth and Frank put their shirts back on. "Already?" I asked as I put my own socks and shoes on.
"Time flies when your having fun."
Line break for not reason—Line break for no reason—Line break for no reason
I followed to the others to the dining pavilion and they all went to sit at different tables except Annabeth who sat with me and Percy. I looked over at a table full of blonde athletic tanned people and asked Annabeth "How come you're sitting here?"
"It's a long story." her time of voice suggested that shouldn't push it. Chiron stamped a hoof on the floor to get everyone's attention. "It's good to see so many new campers here after losing so many to the Titans and Gaia." the older campers looked down sadly as me and the other new campers shared confused looks "I would like to welcome back Reyna, Hazel, Frank and Thalia and announce the rest of the Romans and Hunters of Artemis will be arriving tomorrow for the summer so there will be a special game of Capture the Flag next Friday." everyone seemed to brighten up at the mention of the Romans and Capture the Flag. Then everyone started to get up with their plates and scrapped part of their lunch into the fire. "Is the food here really that bad?" I joked. "Offering to the Gods because they need to feel appreciated." Percy said and I noticed a hint of bitterness in his voice which I kind of understood as I scraped part of my food into the fire I thought Dad why have you waited so long to send me a sign?
After lunch Percy said "C'mon you're gonna need a sword and armour for Capture the Flag tonight." I followed him nervously to the armoury where he picked a leather breastplate and asked "You said you were a medium right?" handing it to me. I took off my school blazer and put the breastplate on but it was bit tight over my school shirt. "Well?" Percy asked noticing my discomfort. "It'll probably fit better with my normal clothes on." I replied honestly as I took it off "I'm gonna go get changed." after getting changed into a my favourite green T-shirt, blue jeans and trainers I tried putting the breast plate on again it fit perfectly.
I walked out of the cabin to find Percy holding leather gauntlets and greaves and Annabeth holding a bronze helmet with a blue horsehair plume. "We picked these out while you were getting changed." Annabeth said handing me the helmet. "Thanks." I said putting the helmet on. Percy then handed me the gauntlets and helped me fasten them, the helmet and the greaves. I stood up and Percy said "Let's go get you a weapon." I followed them toward a modern looking silvery cabin with plain white curtains over the windows and a carved stone owl above the door way. "This is Cabin 6, the Athena Cabin." Annabeth explained as we walked behind it to a simple wooden shed. When Annabeth opened the shed I gasped at the fact it was full of weapons. As Percy and Annabeth started rummaging around in the shed I was thinking this can't be legal. Eventually Percy pulled out a long sheathed sword and handed it to me. "This should suit you just fine." he said as I pulled the sword out. The blade was about three feet long and made of bronze that seemed to glow brightly in the afternoon sun. It felt really well balanced in my hand "It's made of Celestial Bronze which can kill monsters but won't harm mortals and it's the sword the original Perseus used to kill Medusa the first time." Annabeth explained.
"It feels right. Wait, what do you mean the original Perseus killed Medusa the first time?" I asked as I re-sheathed the sword. "Well my name is actually Perseus and monsters don't die like we do, I mean yes their body gets destroyed but their essence is sent to T-T-T-Tartarus but eventually reform. Sometimes it can take a few days but sometimes it can take years if you're lucky. I killed Medusa when I was 12 and she still hasn't reformed." Percy said and I couldn't help but noticed he stuttered and he and Annabeth visibly paled at the mention of Tartarus and wondered that was something to do with why Annabeth sat with us. I unwrapped the belt from around the sword and put it on. After fastening the belt I twirled around with my arms outstretched and asked "How do I look?" Percy and Annabeth smiled and nodded in approval. "I think you're ready for Capture the Flag."
Just a quick note to say I am thinking of having the Gods pay a visit when the Romans and Hunters arrive and all thoughts by characters will be in italics. Thanks for reading and I will see you next time.
