The Oh So Wonderful Life of Lexa Block 2.0
Hey guys! So I wasn't sure how to do her claiming, so I hope it wasn't too abrupt or anything. Enjoy!
Disclaimer- Nothing.
So I guess you can say I wasn't entirely surprised when I was claimed. I mean, the fact that I was claimed at all by an Olympian feels kind of surreal, but I had a small hunch that Poseidon's Trident would be floating above my head sooner or later.
I mean, my absolute favorite hobby is swimming, and when I was younger, I spent more time in the water than on dry land. Once I started junior high, my mom made my at least attempt to study more, but yeah you get the point.
Water's always been in my blood. And now I know why.
Though I must say, Percy's sudden outburst did startle me a bit.
I guess it startled Chiron too because he said, " Would you care to explain why you are suddenly filled with extreme enthusiasm Percy? I haven't seen you this happy since you finally admitted your four year long crush on Annabeth."
This got everyone laughing. Poor Percy and Annabeth, I've never seen tomatoes as red as them.
"Very funny, Chiron." Percy said, speaking over all the laughter.
"And even then, " Chiron continued, "Clarisse had to throw you guys in the river."
Oh, I've never laughed so much in my life!
Now this Annabeth chick decided to step in: "Not my fault Seaweed Brain over here can't make a move!"
HAHAHA! Oh, poor Percy!
"I can too make a move!" Percy protested.
"I know you can, " Annabeth said, "I just so happen to beat you to it."
"Well as interesting as Mr. Jackson's moves are, or lack thereof, I think he would appreciate it if we changed the subject. So, do tell us. Why the burst of happiness."
"Well I've always wanted a little sister…"
Awww! That's nice.
"Awww," All the girls yelled.
"Well you know, so I can be all protective."
"Aw, " Annabeth smiled, " That's nice, Seaweed Brain."
"And so I can embarrass her."
"HAH," Nico said, "Now that's the Percy we all know and love, though not as much as Annabeth."
"Watch it, di Angelo." Annabeth said, with this creeper glare.
"Well Percy," I said, " Feel free to be protective. But embarrass me too much, and I'll show you my child of Hermes side, if you catch my drift."
What a pleasant thought, isn't it?
"Yes," Travis said, "Someone to help us with our pranks!"
"And on that note," Chiron concluded, "Off to bed everyone, before the harpies get you!"
Another lovely thought.
I got up from my log and swallowed my last marshmallow. I walked over to where Saddie and Travis were, with this dude that looked exactly like Travis.
"Goodnight Saddie!"
"NIGHT LEXA! You're going to visit even though you're bunking with Percy, right?"
GAH CAN I JUST TAKE HER WITH ME AND MAKE PERCY LIVE WITH TRAVIS?
"Of course! Goodnight Travis!"
"Night Lexa."
"Goodnight uh…"
So I don't know Travis look-a-like's name…
"Connor, I'm Travis younger, better looking twin."
If they're twins, how is one better looking? That makes no sense.
"Yeah, you keep telling yourself that, Connie. Come on, Saddie's too young to be eaten by harpies."
"I hate when you call me that!" Connor said, following them back to the Hermes cabin.
As I walked to my cabin, I felt someone behind me. I'm sure it's just another camper walking to their cabin, but still. I hate people walking within my personal bubble.
I looked behind my right shoulder and didn't see anyone. Hm, I could have sworn I heard footsteps. Guess not.
I kept walking and I heard footsteps again, so I looked to my left only to be greeted by Nico.
"CRAP. DUDE!"
I really do not see the purpose in giving people heart attacks.
"Yes?"
Oh sure, he's all fine and dandy walking beside me while I'm trying to restart my heartbeat!
"Were you the one walking behind me twenty second ago?"
"Yes."
"But when I turned around, I didn't see anyone."
"When I saw you were going to turn around, I moved to the side and started walking with you. For someone with demigod senses, it really took you a while to realize."
"Well I'm sorry I'm not a third ninja like you! Now if you don't mind, I'm going to try to sleep now that my heartbeat is regular again!"
"Okay, you need all the rest you can get anyway."
"And why is that?"
Was I going to compete in a marathon? Because I am slow as freak.
"Because tomorrow I will brutally embarrass you in the arena."
Oh yeah, I start sword practice tomorrow. Joy.
"Highly unlikely. Now go stop being a creeper and go to sleep."
"Fine, but I am not a creeper! Night Block."
"Night di Angelo."
The first thing I saw when I walked into the Poseidon cabin was Percy and that Annabeth chick…on the floor…having a pillow fight.
Yes, you read my words correctly. A pillow fight.
Who has a pillow fight at 10 at night? Though I must say, it looks like fun.
"Having fun there?" I asked.
The Annabeth chick turned laughing.
"Just showing your brother here my mad pillow fighting skills," she said standing up, "My name's Annabeth Chase, daughter of Athena."
"Lexa Block. So I guess I'll be seeing a lot of you considering..well yeah."
"Haha yeah, that and because I'm your Ancient Greek teacher."
Hm, I wonder what benefits you get for being the teacher's boyfriend's sister…
"Oh cool. Well if you would excuse me, I must sleep now." I said, walking to my bed.
"Yeah, you definitely need sleep since you start sword training tomorrow." Percy reminded me.
Oh yay. WHO HAS TWO THUMBS AND IS GOING TO BE EMBARRASSED IN THE ARENA TOMORROW? This girl!
"Yay." I said, oh so enthusiastically.
Annabeth laughed. "It's not that bad once you get the feel for the sword."
"It's not that. It's the fact that Nico plans on brutally embarrassing me, and I get the vibe that he's not one to back down from his word."
I wonder what would happen if I just start waving the sword around and hope for the best…
Now Percy laughed. "Don't worry I'm in charge of sword training, I'll make sure he doesn't show off his mad skills until you've had at least a couple of lessons."
Oh thank goodness. Having your brother and his girlfriend as your teachers actually doesn't sound too bad-especially since it saves me some embarrassment.
"Well I should probably get back to my cabin. Night Seaweed Brain, night Lexa!" Annabeth said, hugging both Percy and me. And with that, the daughter of Athena was gone.
Boy am I tired. This has been a lot to process. I mean, daughter of Poseidon? My mythology book said he's one of the Big Three gods, so does that mean I'm supposed to be all skilled and powerful? Because my only skill is eating-and I'm really good at it. I can out eat any guy in my class.
Anywho, I guess I'm just nervous because I might not be as epic as people would expects a daughter of Poseidon to be.
I guess I had a worried look on my face because Percy asked me, "What's wrong kiddo?"
So I told him what was on my mind.
"Don't worry Lexa, nobody expects you to get the hang of demigod life right away. It's a working progress really. In the four years and two weeks I've been here, do you know how many times I've nearly died? You'll get used to it."
Mmm, I guess he has a point.
"Thanks, Percy. That actually made me feel better."
"That's what I'm here for. Now go to sleep! It's almost midnight!"
"Aye aye captain!"
SO this chapter is pretty short, I just wanted to show Percy's reaction to having a little sister. Next chapter will be longer! You guys will get to see how Lexa does in the arena! Review please!
