Okay, here we go, third chapter of Clarisse's claiming.( Does anyone else want to spell her name with two r's?) Anyway, here I go. I'll probably add a couple more chapters, like four or five maybe six. Okay, her i go, I want at least five reviews before I add chapter four. Deal? Okay. Here I go.
"I'm a WHAT?" I screamed.
"Half-blood. Half god, half mortal." Navina said.
"Oh my GOD you FREAK! What the heck! Am I being punk'd or something?" I ranted. The red from my dream was starting to seep back into my vision.
"No, you're not being 'punk'd'" The girl said. "I can prove all this is real. Just-"
"Hello, I suspect this is the one you've found?" The man in the wheelchair asked.
"Yes, but she will refuse to believe what she is, can you show her?"
"Show me WHAT?" I begged.
"This." And he stood up, and stepped out of the wheelchair. He grew to be about seven or eight feet. And he had hooves.
"I am Chiron, a centaur. "
"Oh. My. God." I said. Then, of course, I passed out, the last thing I heard was thunder rumbling in the distance.
When I woke up, I was still on the ground where I passed out.
"How long was I out?" I asked, still groggy.
"About ten minutes. Wow, I've never had a Demi-god pass out when they were told before." Navina said.
"Don't call me that." I said through my teeth.
"Don't call you what?" Navina asked.
"A Demi-god." I spat out. She rolled her eyes.
"Demi-god, Demi-god, Demi-god. Clarisse La Rue is a DEMI-GOD!" She sang.
"Shut up!" I screamed.
"No. YOU'RE A DEMI-GOD!" She screamed in my ear.
"Ow. Okay, Okay, I get it." I said. I knew it was true the second the horse-man stepped out.
"Good. Now, you need to get up for Capture the Flag." Navina said.
"Isn't that like, a game five year old plays?"
"If you say so." Navina said, with an evil grin that made me rethink what I'd just said. "Come on."
She dragged me to a kind of pool-house thing that turned out to be filled with different armor. Navina strolled along, running her fingers over different getups. She stopped, and took one down.
"Size 12. Gold. Think this will fit?" It was beautiful. Golden headpiece and breastplate, and the leg pieces had no knee caps, so you could bend your legs freely.
"It's perfect." I breathed, despite myself.
"Good. Now put it on, I'll be right back."
She did, and I went behind a shelf to put it on. I managed to put it on, It fit perfectly.
"Are you back yet?" I called.
"Yeah. Does it fit?" She answered, bursting in.
"Perfectly." I said.
She scanned me. "Huh, that's weird."
"What?"
"That armor used to belong to only child ever to have the blessing of Phobos."
"Who's Phobos?"
"A son of Ares and Aphrodite, a minor godling. He's the God of fear. That's where the 'Phobia' Thing came from."
"Oh. Who was the blessing.... blessed upon?"
"His only child. A daughter named Haley. It was placed upon her as she died. It helped her stagger to camp, which is where she always said she wanted to die." Navina looked sad, as if she were there.
"You were there weren't you?"
"Yeah. She was my friend. But she was a hero. She saved a ton of people."
"I don't wanna get into it." I said. "Anyway, can we get to the game now?"
"Oh, yeah, yeah." And she led me out. I was led to a clearing, where I was placed in an extremely crowded cabin to prepare before the game.
"Hey, do you mind?" Someone shouted at me. "Can you get off my hand?"
"Oh, sorry!" I apologized, stepping to the side.
"Hey! Get off my hair!" A ridiculously pretty girl said. "I spent hours putting it up!"
"Yo! This is the new girl! Clarisse, right?" A tall blond boy said.
"Yeah."
"Yeah, well, HEY EVERYONE, LISTEN UP! This is Clarisse and she is staying in the Hermes cabin for now."
"Undetermined?" A voice called.
"Yeah."
"Ugh."
"Hey! Being Undetermined isn't that bad!" The pretty girl said, scrambling up to stand next to me. She turned towards me. "Hi. I'm Silena Beauregard. I'm undetermined too! I just got here yesterday." She introduced herself.
"Um, hi. I'm Clarisse. Clarisse La Rue. Undetermined, I guess."
She laughed. "Cool. Luke? Can we go to the game now?" She asked the blond boy.
"Yeah. Go guys. Win this thing." He shouted, pumping his fist. He was met with several cheers. We barged outside and joined the other cabins in a clearing.
"You know the rules, no maiming, all magical weapons allowed. Go." Chiron the horse man said. We charged into the woods. Almost immideatley I was pushed down. I got back up, but was thrown to the ground in the mob. I began to get frustrated. After getting pushed down about three more times, the red was beginning to seep back into my vision. I slashed out with my sword, which I had received just after we got into the clearing. I hit about three kids. I didn't apologize. I ran, screeching. I leapt over the creek, and charged about five kids. I hit them all with one swipe of my sword. I kept going. I saw a bright red flag. I put my sword in it's sheath and picked the flag up. I ran back, dimly aware that I was being chased by Ares and Apollo campers. I tried to leap over the creek, but I tripped on a root and fell. The Apollo campers got to me first. I whipped my sword out and slashed blindly. My entire vision was stained with red. It pulsed. I swiped and slashed, making contact with every blow. An Ares camper managed to push me into the creek, which made me madder. I pushed him, but he was stunned, looking at something above my head.
"I am Clarisse. FEAR ME!" I screamed. "FIGHT ME!" I slashed out, but my blade missed by inches.
"Woah." The boy said. Then, he looked at me, and gasped. "WOAH!"
"What is it?" The horse man seemed to appear out of the trees. "Oh." He took my hand and lifted it.
"Everybody. Welcome Clarisse. The new Daughter, and Leader, Of the Ares cabin." Chiron called.
"Leader?" I asked, stunned.
"Yes. You have the blessing of Ares." The boy who was fighting me moments before was saying.
"I-I-I do?" I asked, then, I look at my arms. They were bathed in a just barely visible red light.
"Whoa." I whispered. "Whoa!"
"It is very slight, so that means although she is new, she has an important destiny." Chiron mumbled to himself. I ignored him.
"Whoa! Look at Silena!" I suddenly shouted. All eyes were turned to the also-new camper. A white dove was floating above her head, and she looked even more beautiful then she already was, if that was possible.
"She's a daughter of Aphrodite!" A girl somewhere beside me gasped. "She's in my cabin!"
"Two new campers in a cabin tonight!" Chiron called, and we all cheered. "One is Ares, one in Aphrodite."
I managed to give Silena a thumbs up, which she replied by grinning back, before being mobbed by about five of my new siblings. At first it was awkward, knowing that my father had had children with all these peoples mothers, but I ignored it.
"C'mon." My brother, Jacko said. "Let's show you to the cabin!"
"Wait." I said. I made my way to the group of mani-pedi'd (Ick.) girls, and pushed a few away. I finally got to Silena in the middle and gave her a hug.
"Good luck Silena."
She gazed at me. "You too Clarisse. You really have something coming." She said before being swarmed by a bunch of other cabin mates.
