Amanda's POV
No. just flat out, to the point, no. I am NOT going to camp half wit. I can't. I will probably accidentally hypnotize someone and A, get a bad reputation, B, get kicked out and shamed, or C, make someone do something on accident because I say something and then BAM, they do that. So no. I am not doing it. No, no, and NO! Did I mention no yet? After what happened with that Kace guy, (who isn't too bad considering he didn't hate me after having done the same thing to him TWICE) I won't.
So anyway, my immediate reaction to Kace's idea was, "NO!" Jameson sighed. "See?" I glared at him. "I don't care if it's where I'm 'supposed to be.' I'm NOT going!" Abigail stared and glanced at Kace. "You know when I said how you beat me for being the most stubborn? I think Amanda topped you." Kace jabbed her in the back. "Not the time." He glanced at Jay, who sighed. He conjured up some sunglasses and put them over my eyes while Abigail and Kace practically dragged me outside.
Abigail did something weird, causing her eyes to glow even brighter in the dark. I felt a presence telling me to calm down and cooperate. I kind of calmed down, but at the same time, I was internally screaming, "YEAH, NO WAY" Jay did his weird magic thing and created a portal. Abigail looked at Kace and said, "You handle her. I guess I can go first so that the rest of you can appear in the same place." With that, she dropped my arm, which should've caused Kace to drop me, but it was as if I was floating. As she left, Kace went in front of me and walked into the portal, somehow pulling me along without holding me. There was a bright light, but then we appeared at a strawberry hill. Whatever "magic" that kept me floating disappeared and I dropped into the grass.
Kace looked down at me and apologized quickly before running up the hill. Within a few seconds, Jay appeared next to me. I jumped up and punched him in the arm, muttering "Traitor." Jay winced. "A, it wouldn't hurt to check it out. B, you're always thinking about the worst. C, you're overthinking. And D, this might be the only place where we'll never have to hide our abilities." He looked behind me, and I turned my head. Abigail and Kace were at the top of the hill beside a pine tree, waiting for us. "Well? Are you guys coming or not?" She yelled down at us. I sighed and glanced at Jay, who was staring at me, intently. "You're not going to let me leave until I try this damn camp out, are you?" He nodded. I sighed and trudged up slowly, dreading when I finally would reach the top of the hill.
Jameson's POV
When we finally got to Camp Half-Blood. I was pretty happy to be there because it's safe from any more monster attacks. Of course, when I first found out I was "special" (back in the terrible 5th grade, as mentioned before), between then and 4 or 5 days ago, I had despised being "special". When I saw Abigail and Kace fending off monsters, and later talking about some camp, I decided it was the worst place to ever go. But when we were ambushed 5 days ago, I changed my mind and then proceeded to try and talk Amanda into it. After Kace and Abigail practically dragged her to the camp, it was pretty obvious that Amanda was impressed, but she tried not to let it show. "Okay, lovely campgrounds. Can we leave now?" she inquired. Abigail and Kace kept a tight hold on her. We were introduced to Chiron, and she acted like her usual self. Sullen. Listless. Chiron sighed. "It is the only place safe for demigods…" He started. I slowly shook my head no at him, but it was too late. "NOT ME! I WILL DO HORRIBLE THINGS TO PEOPLE'S MINDS! NO!" Chiron sighed. "Is that why the sunglasses are there? " "Yes," she sighed. "I have hypnosis."
"Well then, we can work with that. But, enough with the chit-chat, let's get to the initiation!" Chiron exclaimed, changing the subject. "Are there clubs here?" I asked. "What kind are you looking for?" Chiron replied, happy to leave the past behind. "Do you have a D&D club?" I asked. "No. So let's get moving then." Chiron responded. Suddenly, out of the blue, glowing paired torches. Above Amanda's head was the same symbol. "Hail Jameson, son of Hecate, and Amanda, daughter of Hecate," Chiron said, kneeling down. All the other campers nearby did as well, though some of them did it half-heartedly. "Now is the time of CELEBRATION! And you know what that means… Ceeeeeeeelabrate good times, come on! It's a celebration, woohoo!" I began singing.
A few campers were surprised by this, and then as a joke, I summoned Harvey and turned him into a dragon. Why not?! A few campers screamed, glared at me, then burst out with laughter. It sure was nice to be somewhere where no one cared about this kind of craziness. Amanda shuddered. "That cat gives me the creeps!" she exclaimed. "Makes it all the better to have, sis," I replied. She frowned. "Yeah, nooo." and turned around to face Abigail and Kace, who were already walking away. "Where ya guys going?!" I shouted at them. "It's time for dinner, come on!" Abigail shouted back, and Amanda made a few faces at her, before following her, reluctantly. I sighed and followed Amanda. There were many questions in my head, but the one that stood out of the others was "Would Amanda adapt to this new change and learn to control her ability?"
