Child Of The Moon Ch.4

Why Me?

After that awkward silence and a few bows and glares, Emma pulled me back to my seat and we finished our meal in silence. But I was too depressed to eat. How could she do that to me! She probably made me some new enemies too! Just then Johnie and Taylor came and sat down at our table. Thunder boomed but Taylor just rolled her eyes obviously not caring what Zeus thinks.

"We would just like to thank you for stoping our fight, somebody would have gotten hurt if you didn't stop us." She stated very confident in what she said. How dose she do that! Taylor glared pointedly at Johnie.

"Oh ya... We are sorry we pulled you into it too, fighting is usualy all we do, and well, we used to be best friends, I think our parents rivalry is effecting us, so sorry." I could tell Johnie was having trouble finding words that wouldn't Anger anyone, because that is kind of hard for her because she is not the person who usually is nice to people who aren't her friend.

"Well I also wanted to officially say welcome to camp and say I don't care who your parent is I can tell you are a good person." She said with complete enraging confidence.

"Thanks for that so far I only had one friend then I found out Johnie was a child of hades, and now you are nice to me. I really appreciate it Taylor."

"No prob, I am a good judge of character, and I can tell I can trust you." She said with a smile, "now I should get back to my table before my dad zaps me with lightning." She said and got up and went over to a table where a tall muscular boy with blonde hair and a cut on his lip was siting and started talking to him, and I could tell that what she was saying was going in one ear and out the other. Johnie got up and left to her table which had a pale boy with black hair and bags under his eyes, without a word. Which kind of hurt but I was used to it.

"Ok everybody! Now it's time to go and get ready for campfire! I hope you will all have lots of fun singing and laughing I want to be able to see that fire from the big house!" Chiron boomed, clearly he had enjoyed himself but you could also see the urgency in his eyes. Everybody started filing out of the pavilion when Chiron trotted over to me. "Johanna-" he started.

"Just call me Joe Chiron it's easier."

"Ok Joe, I would like to talk with you and Emma now, sadly you will miss campfire, but this is urgent." By the tone of his voice he was deadly serious.

"We will report to the big house in one minute Chiron." Emma said before I could say anything.

"Ok I'll meet you there." And with that he galloped away towards a big blue house. Emma turned to me and stared Into my eyes.

"We better hurry but before we go I want to say I'm proud of you, in my first battle I went into shock, but you stepped up and started fighting the hydra." She was dead serious.

"Thank you." I said giving her a hug. "We should get going, Chiron looked pretty spooked."

"Agreed." She said, and we headed of towards the big house.
