Alright, here's Stefani!
I hate the Hermes cabin. Every morning I'm awoken with bangs - wether it's explosives or potions gone wrong, it's always a bang. And I can't even brush my teeth without worrying if the toothpaste has been replaced with glue. Which has happened several times.
Since I'm unclaimed, I have to stay here. Everyone tells me that I'll be claimed soon. But the thing is, demigods are supposed to be claimed by the age of thirteen. I'm sixteen. And then there's that Alex kid. He's been here for six years, and he still isn't claimed.
I woke to a bang (this time Travis almost blew his finger off), dogded trip wires, and quickly got dressed.
I went to breakfast, and Chiron started stamping his hooves. "Everyone, the Hunters will be staying for a week while Artemis is off on an important mission. I expect you all treat them with respect, and this of course means that there will be a game of Capture the Flag later tonight."
Excited whispers rippled through the crowd as the Hunters took their seats. Annabeth Chase and Percy Jackson immediently went over to say hello to their friend, Thalia Grace. And I was excited. This would be my first Capture the Flag game. And you know what? I was in it to win it.
I luckily got to play. I pulled out my bow and arrows and got ready to defend the flag.
When Chiron told us to go, I ran to the flag. I stood there for a while, as no one could get through our offense, when suddenly I heard a noise.
Whirling around I came to face a Hunter with a pink stripe through her hair. I raised my weapon. It was bow against bow. The Hunter smiled. She looked about my age. "Why don't you put down your bow. The Hunters always win."
"Not this time." I said, smiling right back at her.
For a second, her smile faltered. "Aw, is de bawby Hunter scawed of wittle old me?" I said in a baby voice. She growled. "I HATE it," she told me, "When people use a baby voice." And then she shot at me.
Now, Chiron forbided actual arrows, so it would turn into a net to catch me. But in the heat of the moment, I forgot that. In the heat of the moment I dropped my bow and squeezed my eyes shut, praying to every god I knew of (and that was a lot) to let the arrow not hurt me. I heard the Hunter squeak, and I opened my eyes.
The girl was frozen. All except her head. There was even a trail of ice leading to a frozen arrow. I ran over to her. "Oh my god, I'm so sorry! I don't know what happened!" I told her.
Except that was a lie. I had never told anyone, not even James, the satyr that saved me, but something like this had happened two years ago, when I was attacked by a Hellhound. That was before I knew I was a demigod, and I was praying I wouldn't die. I had covered my face with my hands and the Hellhound was frozen. My sledog drove me away as fast as I could make it go. No one besides me and my dog knew.
The Hunter was slowly turning blue. Which was why I was surprised to see her smile. "I told you we always win." she said. I turned around and saw Thalia run of with the flag. Crap.
But then I reminded myself that I had more pressing matters. I was sure Thalia would tell the others, I told myself as I started breathing on the ice. What? It was the only thing I could do!
Sure enough, Thalia soon came back, and she brought the rest of the camp. As that Heaphestus kid, Leo, started to melt the girl (who I learned name was Lia) Chiron peppered me for answers. I told him all I could. I even told him about the Heellhound.
"Well,"he said, "It's sounds like you are a daughter of..."
But he was cut of by smow falling on me, and only me. "Chione." he said.
That day I moved into the Chione Cabin (an, yeah, I know there is no Chione cabin, but just pretend there is) which was a big relief. I was the only inhabitant of it. It was bliss. Pure, pure, bliss. Plus, there was snow falling around it, twenty-four seven. Magic snow, of course, sothere was never to much and it never melted.
I also spent a large portion of the day apoligising to the huntress, whose name, as I previously said, was Lia. She was a daughter of Hecate, and even though I freezed her, she turned out to be a good friend - in just one day. She was my age. Well, at least for the next year.
That night at dinner, I got to choose which table I wanted to sit at, as I was the only child of Chione, there was no table for me. I avoided the Hermes table and sat with Lea. We joked throughout dinner. I did notice that Mr. D wasn't there, but what can I say? It only made the night better!
As we all got up and were about to leave, I was thinking about how perfect this day was. And then Mr. D flashed in.
"Hello, campers. I have important news." For once he didn't look like talking to us was a pain. He actually looked kind of...scared?
"Hebe, Goddess of Youth, Cupbearer to the gods, wife of Hercales, yada yada, was kidnapped, along with the goat horn in which nectar and ambrosia falls from. Without this, the gods will fade." All of the demigods gasped. Without the gods, the world would be chaotic! I wondered how long they had. Almost as if reading my thoughts (oh yeah, I forgot they can do that) Dionysus said, "We have three weeks."
Oh Gods. We were all doomed.
"Well," Chiron said, trying to act calm, even though anyone could see the panic on his face, "I think a quest is in order." Everyone turned to Percy and Annabeth, who had been in the most quests ever. "Oh, yeah." Mr. D said sarcastically, "I'm sure a couple half bloods will save the day." Chiron cleared his throut. "Rachal, a prophecy, please?" He said to the Orace. She nodded, and her eyes turned green-er.
Six Half-bloods shall look,
For the one that was taken,
In the land surrounded by sea,
Where all is forsaken,
The Daugheter of Dawn,
The Child of Ice,
The Cadeusus bearer,
The one that's unclaimed,
The Silver bow wearer,
And the child of Night,
One shall be lost,
Until he finds the light,
All will fade,
By the twenty-first night,
And all will be lost,
Unless Dawn chooses right.
There was only one thought going through my mind as Rachal said the prohecy.
The Child of Ice. I was going on my first quest.
Ok, I hope you enjoyed! I'll try to update soon! Sorry my prophecy is so bad, but it was really had to write. Also, does anyone know of abandoned islands? I have a few ideas, but I need more.
