People start crowding me and I can barely breathe. Everyone is talking to me and pushing me. I feel like dropping on the ground and just dead ass crying. I'm running out of breath and everything is getting kinda dizy. I put my sweaty hands in the pockets of my hoodie and try to get away from all the people before I pass out.
God damn it why are there so many people! I just need to get away from everyone!
I felt someone grab my hand and pull me away from the crowd. I pull my hand away and look to see who it is. It's Aristaeus.
"Thank you so, so, so, soooo much Aristaeus." I say to him as we run from the crowd of people. "You have no idea how horrible that was."
He smiles. "No problem. I could tell that you were bothered by everyone. And you can just call me Aris. It's better than Aristaeus."
"Okie then Aris."
He laughs. "So I guess you're a daughter of Zeus?"
It bothered me that I was now known as the, "Daughter of Zeus". That's all I'm gonna be now. I am so much more than that though. I want to be recognized as Lilith. Just Lilith. I don't want to be recognized as the daughter of anyone.
"Yeah. I guess. What about you? Who's your godly parent?" I stop and look up at him.
"Ares." He says casually.
"Oh. Cool. You must be your dad's favorite. Cause it seems like you have the same name as him." I smile.
"Nah. I have a simple name."
"Hm. Simple Aris." I frown. "Nah you aren't simple." I say to him smiling.
"Suuure."
"You know you're pretty chill for a child of Ares."
"Yeah. Well I guess I'm not like the others. They've always had an easy life. They've always gotten what they wanted. No one ever got in their way. They're shitty and spoiled."
I nod. I look at his face and realize stuff that I didn't before. He had little cuts here and there. His jet black hair was kinda messy. His grey eyes looked tired. His smile was big enough to hide all the pain. He looked so strong but was clearly hiding so much pain inside of him.
What made you so sad?
"Well I hope I don't have "shitty and spoiled" siblings. I really, really, really, don't want siblings that are annoying as hell either." I say to Aris as an attempt to cheer him up.
"Lilith!" I hear someone call out behind me.
I quickly turn around and Jason is jogging towards me and Aris.
"Well I guess I'll see you later Lilith." Aris says walking away. I nod.
"Hey Jason." I said.
"No wonder you looked familiar. You kind of look like Thalia. The hair is just kinda different." Jason said.
I nod awkwardly. "Uh small question, who's Thalia?"
"My other sister. She's just not at the camp since she's a Hunter of Artemis."
"Okie then." I say looking down.
This is so awkward.
"So do you want me to show you our cabin?" He says looking down at me.
"Sure." I put my hands back in my hoodie and follow Jason.
When we get to our cabin I'm surprised. The walls were made of marble and the doors seemed to be made of bronze with gold lightning bolts on them. There were also white columns on the outside.
Wow this is better than where I live.
"Damn."
"Yeah." Jason said.
We walk in and there's a huge empty space. The room was huge and there was a statue of Zeus in the middle.
"I thought it was gonna be a bit more...you know, uh... awesome?" I said turning to him.
"Yeah so did I when I first got here." Jason said.
I walk around the room and can hear the echo of my footsteps.
Hmm maybe some bunks there... and a few couches there...
I look up in awe. The ceiling had clouds and thunderbolts painted on it. To top it off the pictures were moving. As if there was really raining.
"Well I can always sleep on the floor!" I say realizing that thered only one bed. It's clearly Jason's.
"We can find you a bed if you'd like. Or you can have mine and I can find another." Jason said.
"Nah. I already found a nice corner to sleep in." I say walking to the nearest corner. I sit down on the cold floor and lean on the hard wall. "See?"
Jason laughs. "Don't worry we-"
Jason is interupted by a loud noise. I turn to him and he looks kinda pale.
"Capture the Flag!"
We run put of the cabin as quickly as possible.
