Hey Everyone. I fixed Rachel's name spelling. (Rachael?)
Jaredfan: Yeah, they are. Grades 5 and 6. I'm past that, so nobody in my class reads them. Me: Glad you liked it! (You did, right?) You: Yes. (Nods head.) Me: Good, 'cause if you didn't, I'd send out Percy to get you! Muahahaha!
Iloveseaweedbrain: Thanks! :)
Loopygirl33: Thanks too! :)
Here's your pastries. :D
LET'S GET READY TO READ! :D
I spent the next week at camp getting used to schedule. It's exactly like in the books. I had archerry lessons twice a day, footracing (I was really fast), canoeing (I fell out), arts and crafts (I fell asleep with a bunch of popsicles glued to my forehead), and javelin-throwing (it went through one dummy and hit another dummy in the forehead).
On wednesday, Lisa and I were at the beach near the forest, talking.
"So, how do you like camp?" she asked me.
"Oh, it's awesome! I rock at archery and javelin throwing and foot racing, but I suck at canoeing. So, I guess I'm not a child of Poseidon! Who do you think my parent is? I have blue eyes. Could it be Zeus? Hold on, that wouldn't be good, would it? 'Cause then he broke the oath again. Oh well. Anyways, what's up with you?"
"I've been doing normal stuff for a satyr. Mainly, I help out with activities, do stuff for Mr. D, etc."
"Cool. What kind of stuff- what the-? What's that?" I pointed down the beach. There was a horse carrying an unconscience girl on its back.
Lisa stood up. "I don't know. Go get somebody!"
"'K." I ran all the way back to the Big House and told Chiron what we saw. I pulled me up onto his back and we galloped at a crazy fast speed back down to the beach. The girl was about twelve, with black hair in a ponytail and her eyes were sea green (Uh-oh).
"Who is she, Chiron?" I asked.
"I don't know. Let's get her to the Big House," he said. We lifted her carefully onto his back. He slowly trotted away. "Take the horse down to the stables!" He called to us as he left.
"C'mon, let's take this horse," she said. She turned to the horse and spoke to it (satyr thing), and we took it down to the stables.
"Hi, Lisa," said a guy who looked about thirteen or fourteen. He had blue eyes and birty blonde hair. Lisa blushed.
"Oh, uh... Hi. This is Sammy. Sam, this is Damon, son of Apollo."
"Hi," I said. "A half-blood arrived on horseback unconscience just now. This is her horse. Chiron took her to the Big House. You should probably check it out. Children of Apollo are good healers, right?"
Damon look kind of surprised. "I, uh... Yeah. I'll see you guys later." He ran out of the stables.
I looked at Lisa. "You're blushing."
"Am not!"
"I can see it right to the roots of your hair!"
She turned away and mumbled something.
"What was that?"
"Maybe I like him...a little..."
"Lisa and Damon, sitting in a tree! K-I-S-"
"Knock it off!" She playfully pushed me into a haystack.
"Oh no you didn't!" I got up and pushed her down. She was laughing too hard to to get back up. I started laughing, too.
"I-can't-breathe!" I gasped. Suddenly, Lisa stopped laughing and stared at me.
"No, it's okay, I can breathe!" I inhaled and exhaled deeply to show her. Open-mouthed, she pointed above my head. I look up. I saw a golden holographic sign of a lightning bolt.
"I...I'm a daughter of Zeus!"
That afternoon, I was moved into cabin one. I got to choose my own activities (goodbye canoeing!) and stay up as long as I want, and I wasn't going to be overcrowded come Friday when the rest of the campers will arrive. The Ares cabin tried to dunk my head into a toilet, but I managed to scare them off with several arrows lodged into their armour.
On thursday, I saw someone I'd least expect.
"Drake?!"
"Sam? Are you a half-blood?!"
"Yeah, I guess you are too. Who would've thought?"
"Yeah. Oh! This is Sarah. Sarah, this is Sam," He pointed to a girl, about his age, who was standing next to him. She was taller than him by about three inches, and had shoulder-length dirty-blonde curly hair. Her eyes were yellow-golden, which was weird.
"Hi."
"Hi. Who's your godly parent?"
"Apollo," she answered.
"Cool. Mine's Zeus.
They both went wide-eyed. "Really?" Sarah asked.
"Yeah. I was claimed yesterday. Oh, by the way, a half-blood was brought unconscience yesterday, too. Probably Poseidon's kid. She's in the Big House, I think. Anyways, you should check it out. Nice to see you, Drake, but it's time for dinner. See ya later!" I ran down to the mess hall and sat down at the Zeus table.
"Attention campers!" Chiron shouted. Everyone turned to him. "Tomorrow, there will not be Capture-The-Flag, because it will be the first day for many campers. That's all for announcements, enjoy your meal!"
After dinner, I had a swordplay lesson. I was okay, I guess, but I liked archery a lot better. I saw that girl who came on the horse sitting at the Hermes cabin.
After dinner, I went over to her and intoduced myself.
"Hi, I'm Sammy."
"I'm Ariel. And I don't wanna hear anything about the Disney movie!" she stomped her foot. I was laughing my head off.
"Okay, whatever. Your horse is in the stables, if you want to go see him. Or her. I'm not an expert on horses. So, what's up? How do you like camp? Oh, you've pretty much just got out of the Big House. Oh well. Did you know that Percy Jackson, a camper, wrote a series of books about Half-Bloods and all that? We read about them at my school, so that's how I knew about all that stuff. I'm even friends with one of the people in the book. Isn't that awesome? I guess it is if you've read the book. Anyways, how are you?"
She blinked. "You talk fast."
"Yeah, I've been told." I smiled.
School starts soon, so I won't be updating as much. :(
Enjoy it while you can!
R&R for generic baked goods! :D
