Thanks to AlxLuvs2lol , Iceflower of ThunderClan , and Crazedbookfan14 for reviewing the lash chapter! Now here is the last two of the four! Lets see what they have to say shall we?
Leum:
As if today was not crazy enough a giant owl was floating above my head and kids were cheering! I felt like a giant spot light and I didn't like it.
The camp director (Mr. d? ) Announced something about Athena? And told me to sit with the cheering kids. I sat in a daze which is rare for me as kids smiled at me, shook my hand, and clasp me on the back. A pretty blond girl with swirling grey eyes stood up and told every one to calm down and give me some room. I looked at her and gave her a grateful smile then she nodded and sat back down.
The curly blond boy next to me explained that my godly mother ,Athena of wisdom, had claimed me. He also said she must really love me to claim me so fast. I was warmed by that simple but profound thought. That someone , my mother, loved me. All my life my disgusting aunt had taken care of me and by care I mean sent me off to countless boarding schools because she hated me. She would ignore me or tell me I was stupid even though I excelled in all my classes ever. She didn't even know that I had dyslexia and could read better and faster than most. Right now that didn't matter. I had a mythical mother who loved me! I Followed the others as they slid some food off their plate into a fire and sat back down to eat. After I ate my fill of BBQ I began to ask the boy next to me all about our mother. This was different because I am used to being reserved but I wanted to know everything about her. By the time we were done I was in love with her and vowed to meet her one day. The boy I had been chatting with said his name was Alex and that my bunk could be next to his in the Athena cabin. The kids started to leave to continue their day. "Alex where do I go?" I asked him worriedly. "Don't worry I am not the cabin consular but Ill take the rest of the day off to show you everything!" He seemed thrilled to be able to show a new kid around. We saw the entire camp and he explained to me all about the monsters, mythology, and the gods. When we finally arrived at our cabin I was exhausted. "oh and don't forget Leum that every night after dinner is the magic campfire where we all sing songs!" said Alex. I smiled at the thought of all the fun I was going to have here without my aunt.
The campers in the Athena cabin all welcomed me and introduced themselves. The consular who stood up earlier was named Annabeth. I noticed everyone had curly hair like me but they all had blond hair. I had red hair with a gold tint but even that tiny detail didn't matter to me here, I finally felt like I belonged somewhere.
"Hey Leum, did you see my dagger?" Alex pulled out a small golden knife and I jumped back instinctively. "Hey calm down! This is normal around here. How do you think we fend off monsters?" he said. I complied rationally but still felt unsure around the blade. "Ill take you to get your weapon and armor tomorrow because tomorrow night is capture the flag. So you better be ready!" He cheered and a few others joined in.
I sat on my bunk and let all the new information sink in. There was so much good here and yet fighting? Capture the flag? What did I get myself into?
Shilo: Hooray I love Shilo!
I watched the boy that I came here with walk towards the cheering kids in a daze as the owl disappeared. I walked quickly to the table I was told to sit at before any glowing owl could pop up above my head. I was glad no one was talking to me.
I watched a girl a few seats down look shocked at the owl boy then turn around with a look of disappointment. Her bright pink hair shinning in the sun. I quickly looked down and tried my best to be invisible. Either it worked or everyone was too busy to see me because they all started getting food and talking to each other. I didn't want to be in the attention or asked questions on how I got here. I followed the others to scrape some food into a fire. I heard some say a prayer to a godly parent but I didn't say one because I didn't know if I believed this Greek stuff and two because I didn't know my godly parent. I sat back down and tried to remember how the heck I got here.
It was my mom who was yelling first. She was screaming in my face that my grades were below B's and that only all A's would get me into Yale. I yelled back that maybe my privet tutors and paying teachers for grades wasn't helping. I also suggested her and dad stop going to parties and taking vacations and spend some time with me. That's when she gave me her electric blue death stare. I was sent to my room for life she said in an eerily calm voice. I wouldn't know that this would be the last time I saw her for a long time.
I went upstairs and was fed up with my family and my rich but neglected life. I put on my least expensive clothes ( black Nike hoodie with matching shorts and shoes) with taking my life into my own hands in mind. I jumped out my back window into the cool evening. The tree I jumped to was always dead looking but kept growing. I climbed down its black branches and hit the ground. The four small figures in the gloom were sitting and watching me as always. I looked to the dark forest and took off running as my dead pets watched.
