Chapter Six
Being claimed was a lot of fun. I mean, more than I imagined it would be. Sure, I missed seeing the faces of my old cabin mates, but I still got to hang out with them during certain classes.
Drake and I had been very busy trying to avoid each other lately. I guess Aphrodite was wrong- we'd neve be together. I still didn't want to be with hom anyways. He's my best friend! Or... was.
Even though I was thinking of all of this during my last day at camp and while doing archery, I never messed up. I always hit the target right on. I loved it. It's something I'm really good at, even if it's only because of my dad.
"I can't wait for our quest!" Lay said excitedly. Since I'd been claimed, she's been warming up to everyone- inside and outside of our cabin. Everyone loved her, probably because she was really sweet and could never hurt a fly. Okay- that's not true at all. She'd kill a monster in a second.
"Lay, we leave tomorrow morning. Not that much longer, you know."
"I know!" She said, laughing slightly, "I'm just so happy that I'm going! No one ever chose me for anything before!"
I smiled at Lay and looked down at my food only seconds later. I couldn't eat. I was about to have a mental breakdown any second. Why did I ever except to do this?
Sorry about the length, but I'll be posting tomorrow probably. I hope it's a longer chapter to make up for my sudden death. :| On the bright side, I'm not dead!
