Hey guys! Sorry I haven't updated in a while! Okay, so I think I may start this thing where I just do really short stories in the middle of the week so that I at least update a little more than once a week. School is almost over (Thank Percy Jackson) so finals are coming up (actually they are next week and I probably should be studying but nah) so updating will be more frequent (Maybe even daily!) which will be cool. So yeah, sorry this is a long AN. Eh, I also don't really care so sorry-not-sorry? Anyways, NEW CHAPPPIIIIIEEEEEE-
Chloe's POV
I woke up with my blanket and one of my bracelets missing (I would kill whoever took it; my father gave me those bracelets.) One of the nicer kids, I don't ever remember his name from the stories though, was shaking me awake. He had dark hair, blue eyes, but somehow, with a tinge of green. He was about average height.
"What's your name?" I asked, still barely awake and starting to get up.
"My name is Brian Tyre. Time for breakfast!" he said. I groaned but got up. I pulled on my shoes and didn't bother changing back into regular clothes. I walked to the dining pavilion and sat with the Hermes Cabin. Everyone was either fighting, stealing each other's food, or planning something that couldn't be any good for any demigod. I looked over and everyone was almost finished.
Crap. I better finish earlier so I can get to the bathroom first. What!? Where did that come from? Rarely am I competitive, and am usually a fairly nice and generous person, even if it sometimes takes away from my own time. I dismissed the thought and continued to eat. I had to fight the urge to eat faster than the others. What in the Underworld was happening to me? I was so confused, so freaked out. I didn't understand why I had a sudden urge to win, to be better, to tease the other kids that I had finished my pancake faster, that I had drunk my orange juice first, at least I didn't understand any of it until a strange gold light fell around me, and gave everyone a tinge of sparkle on their skin. I looked over at Isla, and there was a bright light over her head in the shape of a sun. We made eye-contact, the same panicked look in her eyes that I could feel in my chest. I looked around, felt my cheeks turn red-hot. Brian was staring at Isla and me.
"I'll take them to Chiron," he volunteered. We both got up from the table, Isla grabbed a couple biscuits and I just grabbed my plate altogether. I was too tired still to care whether or not Chiron would make me throw away my food. We started walking towards a huge blue house with two men drinking their coffee and playing a game of what looked like chess. We walked up the steps and Brian stood in front of the two men.
"Yes, ah what was your name, Ben?" said a man in purple pajamas to Brian's left.
"Brian, sir, and these two were just claimed," He gestured to me and Isla.
"Ah, well then, Brian, can you go to the Poseidon cabin and get Sam Wood for me? I have something to discuss with all three of them," said a man with brown-turning-gray hair and a beard. He was in a wheelchair.
"Yes sir, Chiron," Brian said as he walked back down the steps of the Big house and towards the cabins. Isla and I started to nibble at our lukewarm leftovers.
"While we wait for Sam, why don't you two take a seat?" There were two chairs near Chiron. We each took one.
"So, Isla, you were claimed by Apollo, and Chloe, claimed by Nike?" He asked. I wasn't sure who Nike was, but I sure hope that it will explain this morning.
"Yes, sir," Isla said in a seemingly confused tone.
"If you two don't remember from your teacher's class, Apollo is the god of the Sun and the god of Healing. Nike is the goddess of Victory," he said, eyeing me a bit. That explains the competitiveness of this morning. My mother was the goddess of Victory. Of course, that made no sense at all. Last I checked I was mortal. Of course, Sam thought he was mortal too. Was it possible we were just blessed by a god? The only god of time was Kronos, though. Could Hermes, the messenger of the gods, have blessed us? He did travel often, it would make the most sense.
I heard someone coming up the steps, pulling me out of my trance. I looked over to see a mop of red hair. Sam looked like he hadn't slept well, there were bags under his eyes and by the way, he walked he looked like he literally had just rolled out of bed. He sat down in the third chair to my right, leaning back and dozing. Chiron turned around to look at the three of us.
"You three may be some of the most special kids I've ever met aside from the children of the Big Three," he said, hesitating a little like he had bad news to share. "Which is why you need special training. I am not sure why you are here, or why the gods sent you from the future, but for now all you can do is train to be warriors. Learn to cope with being demigods. That is all I have to say, you may all leave," he turned back around and continued his game of chess. I stood up and walked to the Hermes cabin with Isla to grab the clothes and things we had just gotten from the gift shop yesterday. I walked to the Nike cabin. It was a shop-sized building. It had two golden pillars with engraved drawings of wings all over them. I walked through the door. There were several bunks inside. It looked much bigger on the outside than on the inside. I looked around, not knowing what to do. A girl with blonde hair and brown eyes walked up to me, looking at me warmly.
"Hello, I'm Casey."
